Bibliographic Notes 61 Bibliography 64 II Preface A proof is whatever convinces me. The glory attached to the creativity involved in finding proofs makes us forget that it is the less glorified process of verification that gives proofs their value. Conceptually speaking, proofs are secondary to the verification process; whereas technically speaking, proof systems are defined in terms of their v...

This paper brings the intellectual tools of cognitive science to bear on resolving the “paradox of the active user” [Interfacing Thought: Cognitive Aspects of Human–Computer Interaction, Cambridge, MIT Press, MA, USA]—the persistent use of inefficient procedures in interactive tasks by experienced or even expert users when demonstrably more efficient procedures exist. The goal of this paper is ...

Recent advances in medical imaging and surgical techniques have made possible the correction of severe facial deformities and fractures. Surgical correction techniques often involve the direct manipulation - both relocation and surgical fracture - of the underlying facial bone. The work presented here introduces an environment for interactive, visuohaptic simulation of craniofacial surgical pro...

Problem-solving procedures have been typically aimed at achieving well-defined goals or satisfying straightforward preferences. However, learners and solvers may often generate rich multiattribute results with procedures guided by sets of controls that define different dimensions of quality. We explore methods that enable people to explore and express preferences about the operation of classifi...

INTEGRATION OF DECISION PROCEDURES INTO HIGH-ORDER INTERACTIVE PROVERS by Yegor Bryukhov Adviser: Professor Sergei Artemov An efficient proof assistant uses a wide range of decision procedures, including automatic verification of validity of arithmetical formulas with linear terms. Since the final product of a proof assistant is a formalized and verified proof, it prompts an additional task of ...

This article describes the simulation of real-time catheter navigation in our interactive interventional cardiology simulation system (ICard). ICard is designed to enable medical students or physicians to familiarize themselves with the techniques of interventional catheterization procedures. The ICard software provides three-dimensional (3-D) views of the blood vessels and fluoroscopic images ...

Applying systematic analysis procedures to early requirements models can test the satisfaction of stakeholder goals and facilitate an evaluation of design alternatives. We introduce a qualitative and interactive model evaluation procedure for goal and agent-oriented models. In applying the procedure to a variety of case studies we found that the interactive nature of the procedure prompts model...

The authors evaluated an improved procedure for range-restriction corrections in meta-analysis. When population correlations were approximately normally distributed, the new nonlinear rangecorrection procedure improved the accuracy of the Schmidt-Hunter (S-H) interactive method in estimating both the mean (Me) and standard deviation (SDf) of population correlations, making it the most accurate ...

Model analysis procedures which prompt stakeholder interaction and continuous model improvement are especially useful in Early RE elicitation. Previous work has introduced qualitative, interactive forward and backward analysis procedures for i* models. Studies with experienced modelers in complex domains have shown that this type of analysis prompts beneficial iterative revisions on the models....

animation with its broad audiences is very popular as a modern art. beside the fantasy, imagination, designing and drawing for making an animation film, the most important role of screenwriting shouldn’t be neglected as the basic activities for professionals and amateurs. keep your students interested and engaged in lessons by making them interactive. while the classroom will be a bit noisy and...
