In this paper, we first discuss the level of compliance for timetabling research to two important research qualities, namely measurability and reproducibility, analyzing what we believe are the most important contributions in the literature. Secondly, we discuss some practices that, in our opinion, could contribute to the improvement on the two aforementioned qualities for future papers in time...

Research into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) has expanded at a remarkable pace in the decade since Shinya Yamanaka and Kazutoshi Takahashi first reported their groundbreaking discovery in 2006. This Timeline highlights the key events in the development of this field, including basic insights into the production of iPSCs and how they have been applied to improve our understanding and tre...

Current evaluation metrics for timeline summarization either ignore the temporal aspect of the task or require strict date matching. We introduce variants of ROUGE that allow alignment of daily summaries via temporal distance or semantic similarity. We argue for the suitability of these variants in a theoretical analysis and demonstrate it in a battery of task-specific tests.

This paper reports a case study of the integration of information technology (IT) in a Discovery School in South Australia, and the problems and issues that the school encountered in due process. A number of datacollection methods were used. The school was well provided for in IT. Both students and teachers were confident with the use of IT in learning and teaching. The students’ use of IT was ...

In this paper, we analyze differences in perspective between timelines created by news agencies from various countries. By employing methods for date and headline selection, which have been extensively evaluated in previous work, we show several types of bias that exist in the media landscape. As users typically select only a small number of news sources to follow, they necessarily experience a...

This work presents a constructive approach to the process of fixing a sequence of meetings between teachers and students in a prefixed period of time, satisfying a set of constraints of various types, known as school timetabling problem. The problem is modeled as a bi-objective problem used as a basis to construct feasible assignments of teachers to classes on specified timeslots. A new represe...

This article presents Semantic Spiral Timelines (SST) as an interactive visual tool aimed at the exploration and analysis of additional academic information stored in current elearning platforms. Despite the development of contents specifically for these platforms, and in spite of the various features they provide, knowledge of the actual use made by individual participants is emerging as an un...

ion in the Verstandes-Actus) but, rather, is only depicted by means of Comparation (and the other two acts of understanding). The form of nexus in the timescape of subjective time (figure 23) shows us the real context for this aspect of the Comparation property set. Referring to this and the schemata of Relation in figure 22, we can make out three topological forms of representation trajectorie...
