In collaborative scheduling tasks, large surfaces are often crucial. Pin&Play is a novel technology that combines physical and digital information on an interactive pin-board, which can improve collaborative scheduling. In order to explore this and to develop a prototype, we conducted observations of the scheduling of a film festival program. We found that several tasks in the scheduling are de...

Due to the changed role in current society, the requirements for mass transit products have changed dramatically over the last few years. The impact of social-economical changes lead to the necessity for polyvalent service and technical staff. Technological evolution has made systems more complex, "intelligent" and interactive. On-board systems are therefore required to support higher comfort, ...

A short, inductive proof is presented of the fact that a Hex board cannot be colored such that winning conditions are satisfied for both players. It is well known that the game of Hex, independently invented by Piet Hein and John Nash, always has a winner. In it, two players, Black and White, attempt to connect opposite sides—East and West or North and South—of a parallelogram tiled with hexago...

We describe an experiment which simulates a grounded approach to language acquisition in a population of autonomous agents without prior linguistic knowledge. The idea is to let the agents acquire at the same time a conceptualization of their environment and a number of linguistic conventions (i.e., a shared lexicon and a set of grammar rules) which allow them to express facts about their envir...

Revealing faint circumstellar nebulosity and faint stellar or substellar companions to bright stars typically requires use of techniques for rejecting the direct, scattered, and diffracted light of the star. One such technique is Lyot coronagraphy. We summarize the performance of the white-light coronagraphic capability of the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph, on board the Hubble Space Tele...

One of the issues that have gained a lot of attention in recent years is the board gender diversity. Many researchers believe that gender diversity in the board reinforces corporate social responsibility and on the other hand, gender diversity is one of the signs and effects of corporate social responsibility in the board, so there is a mutual relationship between board gender diversity and cor...
