Grand Challenges in Systems Physiology

Systems physiology is an integrated discipline. It combines experimental, computational, and theoretical studies to advance our understanding of the physiology of human and other living creatures. In other words, systems physiology is systems biology with a physiology (i.e., functionally)centered view. Understanding the principle behind the system is one of the fundamental challenges in systems...

Grand Challenges in Music Information Research

This paper discusses some grand challenges in which music information research will impact our daily lives and our society in the future. Here, some fundamental questions are how to provide the best music for each person, how to predict music trends, how to enrich human-music relationships, how to evolve new music, and how to address environmental, energy issues by using music technologies. Our...

Grand Challenges in Discrete Event Logistics Systems

How to tackle the first challenge can be illustrated by how D-SIMSPAIR, D-SIMLAB’s flagship product for planning and optimisation of spare parts logistics networks in the aviation industry, evolved: The original intention was to develop this system using a Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) simulation package as the backbone. However, it turned out that such a simulation software comprises a lot o...
