Special issue on Assistive Computer Vision and Robotics - Part I

h 1 In the last decades, there has been a tremendous increase in deand for assistive technologies useful to overcome functional limtations of individuals and to improve their quality of life. Assistive echnologies provide a set of advanced tools that can improve the uality of life not only for impaired people, patients and elderly ut also for healthy people struggling with everyday actions. Ree...

Special issue on computational finance

Many of the papers in this special issue were initially presented at the 2nd International Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Computing in Finance (PDCoF) held in conjunction with The 23rd International Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium (IPDPS). The papers were significantly revised, extended for consideration in this special issue. The purpose of this special issue is to bring to...

AERB Special Issue I (Auctions)

We describe an auction mechanism in the class of Groves mechanisms that has received attention in the computer science literature because of its theoretical property of being more “learnable” than the standard second price auction mechanism. We bring this mechanism, which we refer to as the “ ,” into the laboratory to determine whether it helps human subjects learn to play their optimal strateg...

Part I Special Relativity

The views of space and time which I wish to lay before you have sprung from the soil of experimental physics, and therein lies their strength. They are radical. Henceforth space by itself, and time by itself, are doomed to fade away into mere shadows, and only a kind of union will preserve an independent reality. H Minkowski (1908).
