"Models and Realities": An Introduction

New Realities of the Enterprise Management System Information Support: Economic and Mathematical Models and Cloud Technologies

The paper focuses on the urgency of the implementation of cloud technologies, which are a necessary condition for the development of enterprise management systems, give rise to a complex of insufficiently studied phenomena and processes and determine the need to find new tools in making and implementing reasonable management decisions. In the process of research, the sequence of construction an...

Augmented Realities Integrating User and Physical Models

Besides the obvious advantage of mobility, wearable computing o ers intimacy with the user for augmented realities. A model of the user is as important as a model of the physical world for creating a seamless, unobtrusive interface while avoiding \information overload." This paper summarizes some of the current projects at the MIT Media Laboratory that explore the space of user and physical env...

An Introduction to Multimedia Models

An introduction to graphical models

Graphical models are a marriage between probability theory and graph theory. They provide a natural tool for dealing with two problems that occur throughout applied mathematics and engineering – uncertainty and complexity – and in particular they are playing an increasingly important role in the design and analysis of machine learning algorithms. Fundamental to the idea of a graphical model is ...

Classical Quark Models: an Introduction

We present an elementary introduction to some of the quark models used to understand the properties of light mesons and baryons. These lectures are intended for both theoretical and experimental graduate students beginning their study of the strong interaction.
