Olga Kennard (née Weisz, 1924–2023) was a true pioneer in crystallography. She left lasting mark on scientific research with the establishment of Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC).

In their paper titled Application of Case-based Methodology for Early Diagnosis of Computer Attacks Gulnara Yakhyaeva and Olga Yasinskaya describe a novel approach to information risk assessment that differs from traditional methods. Instead of working with numerical estimates of risk probabilities, they use sets of cases on which these risks have worked. Opposite to the standard approach, wher...

Genetic Algorithms (GAs) purport to mimic the behavior of natural selection. Many GAs, however, try to optimize their populations by means of a static fitness function — one that is derived from performance on a fixed set of examples. We propose an architecture for an online genetic algorithm (OLGA) for classification. An OLGA differs from standard genetic algorithms in that it does not repeate...

The object of the Olga project is to develop an interactive 3D animated talking agent. A futuristic application scenario is interactive digital TV, where the Olga agent would guide naive users through the various services available on the network. The current application is a consumer information service for microwave ovens. Olga required the development of a system with components from many di...
