Traveling Artists' Roles: an Asynchronous Email Interview

Discovering Leadership Roles in Email Workgroups

Email is a key communication tool for collaborative workgroups. In this paper, we investigate how team leadership roles can be inferred from a collection of email messages exchanged among team members. This task can be useful to monitor group leader’s performance, as well as to study other aspects of work group dynamics. Using a large email collection with several workgroups whose leaders were ...

An Approach for Solving Traveling Salesman Problem

In this paper, we introduce a new approach for solving the traveling salesman problems (TSP) and provide a solution algorithm for a variant of this problem. The concept of the proposed method is based on the Hungarian algorithm, which has been used to solve an assignment problem for reaching an optimal solution. We introduced a new fittest criterion for crossing over such problems, and illu...

Interview with Catarina Carneiro de Sousa: Multimedia Artists and Art Educator

Catarina Carneiro de Sousa aka CapCat Ragu is a Portuguese artist born in 1975 at Oporto, Portugal, with a background on Painting and Art Studies. In 1999 she was a founding member of the association Caldeira 213, an artistic coalition that self-managed a non-profit art space in Oporto, Portugal, which between 2000 and 2002 exhibited the most cutting edge projects by young emerging artists. Cat...

An asynchronous recurrent linear threshold network approach to solving the traveling salesman problem

In this paper, an approach to solving the classical Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) using a recurrent network of linear threshold (LT) neurons is proposed. It maps the classical TSP onto a single-layered recurrent neural network by embedding the constraints of the problem directly into the dynamics of the network. The proposed method differs from the classical Hopfield network in the update of...
