We formulate a new data mining problem called "storytelling" as a generalization of redescription mining. In traditional redescription mining, we are given a set of objects and a collection of subsets defined over these ...

The size, dynamics, composition and similar characteristics of Grid Communities constitute important data for Grid security requirements gathering and analysis. Collaborative Grid Communities are especially important as ...

The task of providing an optimal analysis of the state of the atmosphere requires the development of dynamic data-driven systems that efficiently integrate the observational data and the models. Data assimilation (DA) is ...

We report the experiences of semi-professional developers regarding the challenges, tools, and processes within the domain of web application development. The paper summarizes the main problems in web development, characterizes ...

Digital libraries (DLs) are complex information systems and therefore demand formal foundations lest development efforts diverge and interoperability suffers. In this paper, we propose the fundamental abstractions of ...

For many years globally convergent probability-one homotopy methods have been remarkably successful on difficult realistic engineering optimization problems,most of which were attacked by homotopy methods because other ...

This paper describes a new approach for reducing the number of the fitness function evaluations required by a genetic algorithm (GA) for optimization problems with mixed continuous and discrete design variables. The proposed ...

Interaction through multi-platform user interfaces (MPUIs), is increasingly being used in battlefield applications, telemedicine, classroom education, and engineering applications. Some of the uniqueness of these non-traditional ...

Computers are essentially an ever-present tool that can be used in almost any discipline to make work faster and easier. Creating these programs, however, such that they fulfill the needs of the customer is a challenging ...

The inherent structure of cellular automata is trivially parallelizable and can directly benefit from massively parallel machines in computationally intensive problems. This paper presents both synchronous and pipeline ...
