This paper is a review of the book Discovering Data Mining: From Concept to Implementation – Peter Cabena, Pablo Hadjinian, Rolf Stadler, Jaap Verhees, and Alessandro Zanasi (New Jersey: Prentice Hall, 195 pp., 1998).

Trotz relativ hoher Studienanfängerzahlen bleibt die Nachwuchssituation in der Informatik unbefriedigend. Eine Vielzahl an Maßnahmen arbeitet teilweise schon seit Jahren daran, das Interesse junger Menschen an Informatik zu wecken, es zu erhalten und das in Neigung und Begabung verwandelte Interesse zu fördern. Um noch effektiver und nachhaltiger wirken zu können, sollten die einzelnen Maßnahme...

It has been suggested that in certain situations it would make sense to use diierent activation probabilities for writing and reading in SDM (Sparse Distributed Memory). However, here we model such a situation and nd that, at least approximately, it is optimal to use the same probabilities for writing and reading. We also investigate the scaling up of SDM, in connection with some observations m...

distinction between casework and group work is not always clear, this may be partly due to the lack of self consciousness which characterizes the formation of many groups, and indeed the lack of agreement about aims. "Getting together" is often thought of as good-in-itself without defining the method or ultimate aim. Peter Kuenstler limits the scope of the book to "Group work with a specific pu...

In the centenary celebration for Peter Parker the date chosen is that of the opening of his hospital in Canton. This is as it should be. It was as a physician that Doctor Parker made his best known and most distinctive contribution. It is appropriate that his memory should be kept green in connection with the work of physical healing and with the rise of the modern medical profession in China. ...

With the death of Peter Alan Burrough in Leiden on 9 January 2009 the field of geographic information science (GIScience) lost one of its founding fathers, a scholar whose contribution was prolific, rigorous, original, and always ground-breaking. His career was marked by numerous firsts, including the first widely read textbook on geographic information systems (Burrough, 1986). He directed ove...
