Data informs debate

Transborder Data Flow Debate

The paper attempts to provide an overview of the current debate on transborder data flow. It is divided into five sections. The first section provides the definition and basic concepts of transborder data flow. Traces the recent developments in computer and communication technologies and the emergence of computercommunication networks. Describes the reasons and advantages in the international t...

We present a Cost Decomposition approach for the linear Multicommodity Min-Cost Flow problem, where the mutual capacity constraints are dualized and the resulting Lagrangean Dual is solved with a dual-ascent algorithm belonging to the class of Bundle methods. Although decomposition approaches to block-structured Linear Programs have been reported not to be competitive with general-purpose softw...

Debate Debate

Geocomputation is an emerging field of research that advocates the use of computationally intensive techniques such as neural networks, heuristic search, and cellular automata for spatial data analysis. Since increasing amounts of health-related data are collected within a geographical frame of reference, geocomputational methods show increasing potential for health data analysis. This paper pr...

How G. Bateson informs dogs

Purpose – To show how Bateson’s difference which makes a difference can be interpreted from a cybernetic view, i.e. in terms of control theory. Design/methodology/approach – Depending on the observer’s choice of the system boundaries, communication or structural coupling may be recognized. With the help of Bateson’s example he uses to explain his term of information the paper demonstrates how t...
