This paper presents an investigation of knowledge acquisition in dynamic s ystems. The nature of dynamic systems is analyzed. A first ontology of the domain is proposed. Various distinctions are presented such as the agent perspective, the percept ion of temporal progression, and the notions of conseqences and expertise in dynamic systems. We use Rasmussen's model to characterize ways knowledge...

This article concerns a simulation algorithm for unmarked and marked Hawkes processes. The algorithm suffers from edge effects but is much faster than the perfect simulation algorithm introduced in our previous work [12]. We derive various useful measures for the error committed when using the algorithm, and we discuss various empirical results for the algorithm compared with perfect simulations.

To improve feedback on how concurrent CSP-based programs run, the graphical CSP design tool (gCSP [3,2]) has been extended with animation facilities. The state of processes, constructs, and channel ends are indicated with colours both in the gCSP diagrams and in the composition tree (hierarchical tree showing the structure of the total program). Furthermore, the contents of the channels are als...

Perceptions of the nature and role of mathematics held by our society have a major influence on the development of school mathematics curriculum, instruction, and research. The understanding of different conceptions of mathematics is as important to the development and successful implementation of programs in school mathematics as it is to the conduct and interpretation of research studies. The...

From collectivism to individualism in New Zealand employment relations Erling Rasmussen and Felicity Lamm The University of Auckland The shift from collectivism to individualism in New Zealand employment relations has been rapid and triggered profound employment relationship changes. This paper overviews the growth in individual employee rights prompted by public policy changes. In particular, ...
