The European Workshop on Multi-Agent Systems (EUMAS) is an annual workshop that takes place at changing places in Europe and aims at encouraging and supporting activity in the research and development of multi-agent systems, in academic and industrial efforts. The workshop is primarily intended as a European forum at which researchers and those interested in activities relating to research in t...

The relational model is the basis for most modern databases, while SQL is the most commonly used query language. However, there are data structures and computational problems that cannot be expressed using SQL-92 queries. Among them are those concerned with the bill-of-material and corporate hierarchies. A newer standard, called the SQL-99, introduced recursive queries which can be used to solv...

In der ersten Märzwoche ist jedes Jahr alles ganz anders in der Familienbildungsstätte im Heinrich-Lübke-Haus in Günne am Möhnesee. Wo letzte Woche noch Kinder spielten, bewegen sich nun Wissenschaftlern aus aller Welt. Der gesamte Komplex ist von Informatikern, über Biologen, Psychologen und Kognitionswissenschaftler bis zu Philosophen übernommen worden. Alle interessieren sich für Forschung a...

Stroke is a tremendous burden to health worldwide both in the developed and developing world. Current levels of research funding do not adequately reflect this burden, particularly when expected increases in stroke rates are considered. Of course, an investment in stroke research is only justified if a return can be expected. The ultimate goal of stroke research is to reduce the burden of disea...

Thermophilic organisms require proteins that maintain their structure and activity in the extreme temperature conditions in which their hosts thrive. In view of evaluating the influence of temperature on the different types of interactions that stabilize protein structures, we developed a new approach based on temperature-dependent mean force potentials. Our results show that the stabilizing we...

Die Gesellschaft für Logische Programmierung e.V. [1], die deutschsprachige Abteilung (für Deutschland, Österreich und die Schweiz) der Association of Logic Programming [2], organisiert seit vielen Jahren den Workshop on (Constraint) Logic Programming (WLP). Auf dem alljährlich stattfindenden WLP treffen sich Wissenschaftler aus den Gebieten der logischen Programmierung, der Constraint-Programm...

This panel will present and discuss how quantitative data analysis can help us to tell stories that bring deeper meaning to our research. In order to tell stories successfully, the researcher must understand the variety of data analysis methods available and know when to apply each kind of method. This panel will focus on these questions: • How can we tell stories about “unreal” phenomena and s...
