Overview This paper is written as background for a proposed Grand Challenge in Computing Research, entitled Science for Global Ubiquitous Computing. The paper has a specific purpose: to trace the evolution of theoretical models for distributed and mobile computing, and the mutual influence between these models on the one hand and software design and development on the other. It also discusses m...

Are we making the best use of laboratory computer systems? In this first issue of the 1983 volume of the Journal of Automatic Chemistry we can look back on a very successful first year with our new publisher, Taylor & Francis Ltd. Their experience in scientific publishing has been of considerable value to me and the editorial team. We now have a well-produced, accepted and well-presented produc...

Dr. Jung-Gi Im served for five years as the Editor-inchief. As a member of the Board of Directors of the Korean Radiological Society back in the last decade, Dr. Im devoted himself to giving birth to this English journal. In the editorial of the inaugural issue in 2000, Dr. Im pronounced that his editorial policy was to meet global standards and trends in radiology combined with an EastAsian pe...

“One of the better aspects of human nature is our drive to seek out and conquer challenges. We seem imbued with a desire to formulate problems of the highest degree of difficulty and then to relentlessly pursue their solution. The identification and pursuit of Grand Challenges has been a hallmark of the high-performance computing arena for over a decade. In recent years, many other technical co...

In this work we present the solution to the DEBS’2013 Grand Challenge, as crafted by the joint effort of teams from the Technion and TU Dortmund. The paper describes the architecture, details the queries and offers our observations regarding the appropriate way to trade-off high-level processing with time constraints.

At the University of Tennessee, The Grand Challenge Scholar program operates in conjunction with the Honors Engineering Leadership minor (HELM) and emphasizes leadership training as part of interdisciplinary coursework preparing engineering students to work at the boundaries of their profession with business, entrepreneurship, ethics, and human behavior. We have formed a partnership with the De...
