A case-based approach to adaptation for estimation tasks is presented in which there is no requirement for explicit adaptation knowledge. Instead, a target case is estimated from the values of three existing cases, one retrieved for its similarity to the target case and the others to provide the knowledge required to adapt the similar case. With recursive application of the adaptation process, ...

We explore a novel approach to higher-order program analysis that brings ideas of on-demand lookup from first-order CFL-reachability program analyses to higher-order programs. The analysis needs to produce only a control-flow graph; it can derive all other information including values of variables directly from the graph. Several challenges had to be overcome, including how to build the control...

The development of vehicular electronic vision systems for the automotive market is a growing field, driven in particular by customer demand to increase the safety of vehicles both for drivers, and for other road users, including Vulnerable Road Users (VRUs), such as pedestrians. Close-range automotive camera systems are designed to display the areas in the close vicinity of the vehicle to the ...

The trade in wildlife products can represent an important source of income for poor people, but also threaten wildlife locally, regionally and internationally. Bushmeat provides livelihoods for hunters, traders and sellers, protein to rural and urban consumers, and has depleted the populations of many tropical forest species. Management interventions can be targeted towards the consumers or sup...

There exist various service systems that have hierarchical structure. In hierarchical service networks, facilities at different levels provide different types of services. For example, in health care systems, general centers provide low-level services such as primary health care services, while the specialized hospitals provide high-level services. Because of demand congestion in service networ...

Information technology is vital to supply chain management in the areas of integration and information sharing. Demand-Driven is a characteristic in Lean and Agile supply chains. Based on recent developments, we suggest that there is a new demand-driven strategy emerging for supply chain management. This new form of demand-driven strategy is information technology intensive and is becoming a di...

ACD Term Rewriting (ACDTR) is term rewriting modulo associativity, commutativity, and a limited form of distributivity called conjunctive context. Previous work presented an implementation for ACDTR based on bottom-up eager normalisation, extended to support the conjunctive context. This paper investigates the possibility of using a demand-driven normalisation strategy for ACDTR. Again, dealing...

As a member of the consortium for the "Computation and Prediction of Receptor−Ligand Interaction" the Integrated Publication and Information Systems Institute, GMD−IPSI , Darmstadt, participates in the national joint project RELIWE. Docking−D is the part of RELIWE which considers heterogeneous database support and in which GMD−IPSI takes the leading role. In the current situation the receptor a...
