In this paper, we propose a concept of knowledge management “Knowledge Liquidization and Crystallization”, and a system “Knowledge Nebula Crystallizer” to support the process. “Exhibition designing” was chosen as an application of our methodology to a real work place in cooperation with a Japanese advertising company, as it is an example of the tasks that highly depend on implicit knowledge of ...

The paper presents data on the organisation of the Museum tobacco exhibition, i.e. the professional processing of the material from the Smoking Accessories collection of the Ethnographic Museum in Zagreb, insight into the holdings of other museums, archives, private collections and individuals, and field exploration. Particular emphasis was placed on national references on the cultivation and c...

The exhibition “Atapuerca: our ancestors” was presented at the Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales (Madrid, Spain) during 1999-2000. The objective of this exhibition was to show the discoveries made at the paleoanthropological site of Atapuerca (Burgos, Spain). In Atapuerca, one of the most important Pleistocene sites of the world, more than 3,000 human fossils dated around 300,000 years old h...

The AAAI Robot Exhibition offers robotics researchers a venue for live demonstrations of their current projects and gives others an opportunity to see a selection of current research work. At the 2002 exhibition in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, 12 robots were demonstrated by a variety of laboratories and institutions. Many of these systems were works in progress, providing the audience an opportun...

The Mao-Kung Ting is one of the most precious artifacts in the National Palace Museum. Having five-hundred-character inscription cast inside, the Mao-Kung Ting is regarded as a very important historical document, dating back to 800 B.C.. Motivated by revealing the great nature of the artifact and interpreting it into a meaningful narrative, we have proposed an innovative Virtual Exhibition Syst...

This paper studies cellular automata in two aspects: Ergodic and topological behavior. For ergodic aspect, the formulae of measure-theoretic entropy, topological entropy and topological pressure are given in closed forms and Parry measure is demonstrated to be an equilibrium measure for some potential function. For topological aspect, an example is examined to show that the exhibition of snap-b...

This paper presents our Context-aware Mobile Assistant Project (C-MAP). C-MAP is an attempt to build a personal mobile assistant that provides visitors touring exhibitions with information based on their locations and individual interests. We have prototyped the first version of the mobile assistant and used an open house exhibition held by our research laboratory as a testbed. The mobile assis...

RoboX is a tour guide robot, designed to interact with visitors at Expo02, the Swiss National Exhibition. During five months, ten RoboXs will be in contact with people not trained to autonomous robots and will guide them throughout an exhibition about robotics. The work exposed here was dedicated to make RoboX lifelike and credible in implementing an expression generator. This generator uses th...
