Digital Auctions: Mapping the IT-Paved Road towards Market Efficiency

IT enables a more smooth performance of entire business exchanges. Hence it has the potential to alter market efficiency. Our paper addresses the question whether market efficiency is realized differently in a digital market setting as opposed to analog auctions. In addition, the paper will explore whether it is more likely that market efficiency will improve in the digital auction setting than...

The Road to Frailty Is Paved With Good Intentions.

Frailty is a relatively young area of investigation in cardiovascular research. The first wave of published research, circa 2001 to 2006, uncovered the epidemiological and pathophysiological links between frailty and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Compared to those without CVD, older adults with CVD were reported to have an odds ratio of 2.7 to 4.1 for prevalent frailty in cross-sectional studie...

Towards Adaptive Evolutionary Architecture

This paper presents first results from an interdisciplinary project, in which the fields of architecture, philosophy and artificial life are combined to explore possible futures of architecture. Through an interactive evolutionary installation, called EvoCurtain, we investigate aspects of how living in the future could occur, if built spaces could evolve and adapt alongside inhabitants. As such...
