The graphical depiction of uncertainty information is emerging as a problem of great importance. Scientific data sets are not considered complete without indications of error, accuracy, or levels of confidence. The visual portrayal of this information is a challenging task. This work takes inspiration from graphical data analysis to create visual representations that show not only the data valu...

Business Schools are experiencing increased competitive pressures, and one way to differentiate and compete distinctively is through the adoption of innovative uses of information technology. However, the integration of information technology to business education is by no means trivial. This research seeks to provide some guidance about the effect of these new information technologies in the f...

The evidence concerning the level at which learned CP effects occur is complex. The goal of this study was to use a different approach to this question by manipulating the abstractness of the information available for distinguishing pairs of items in an XAB task, and the presence or absence of a short task-filled delay between X and AB. Participants engaged in XAB trials containing a mixture of...

In this paper we describe the different investigations that are part of the development of a new singing digital musical instrument, adapted to real-time performance. It concerns improvement of low-level synthesis modules, mapping strategies underlying the development of a coherent and expressive control space, and the building of a concrete bi-manual controller.

There are two main issues I want to address in this response to Peter Cheeseman's \An inquiry into computer understanding" (hereafter, abbreviated as Inquiry) and \In defense of`An inquiry into computer understand-ing' " (hereafter, abbreviated as Defense): (1) the \right" approach to reasoning about uncertainty and (2) the relationship between logic and probability. 1 Cheeseman's positions on ...

A region-based approach towards modelling of bottom-up visual attention is proposed with an objective to accelerate the internal processes of attention and make its output usable by the high-level vision procedures to facilitate intelligent decision making during pattern analysis and vision-based learning. A memory-based inhibition of return is introduced in order to handle the dynamic scenario...

Croatian enterprises report relatively low level of innovativeness. The objective of this paper is to identify factors that constraint innovation activity of Croatian fi rms. The analysis is focused on the impact of constraining factors on the decision to abandon and delay innovation development employing Croatian Community Innovation Survey 2006 (CIS2006) data. Exploration of factors leading t...

We present the tool MSCan, which supports MSC-based system development. In particular, it automatically checks high-level MSC specifications for implementability.
