Comparative Politics was rapidly changing, they emphasized, and the Section should actively explore new departures and emerging perspectives. While striving to be inclusive, its leadership should be proactive. Before departing, I wish to express my thanks to those who have provided ...

The use of computational steering for smog prediction is described. This application is representative for many underlying issues found in steering high performance applications: high computing times, large data sets, and many diierent input parameters. After a short description of the smog prediction model, its visualization and steering are described. The amount of computation needed to solve...

The subject of the 1996 DBTA-Workshop was migration and coexistence in the Database World. Different approaches were shown: Prof. Zehnder advocated federated databases to replace step by step the aging integrated systems and support new applications in a flexible way. Dirk Jonscher pointed out the problem of bringing together data from different applications: His solution is an integration with...

This report is an attempt to assess and contrast the current state of the art in digital video and graphics processing system architectures. Although this is not meant to be a comprehensive survey, I attempted to at least quickly review most of the commercially available major architectures. At present, there is a huge amount of interest in this area, as three new markets are perceived: systems...

München. In the course of reorganizing the structure of the department in 1998 it became one of its five Institutes for Information and Communication Technology. The Institute is situated in the southeastern part of the main campus of the Technische Universität München, close to the center of Munich. The institute can easily be reached by public transport (U-Bahn U2, stop Königsplatz). Please u...
