The ETICA project aims to identify emerging information and communication technologies. These technologies are then analysed and evaluated from an ethical perspective. The aim of this analysis is to suggest possible governance arrangements that will allow paying proactive attention to such ethical issues. During the ETICA workshop at the summer school, participants were asked to choose one of t...

This paper presents a unique flywheel-based regenerative energy recovery, storage and release system developed at the author’s laboratory. It can recover and store regenerative energy produced by braking a motion generator with intermittent rotary velocity such as the rotor of a wind turbogenerator subject to intermittent intake wind and the axels of electric and hybrid gas-electric vehicles du...

In this chapter we provide an overview of the application of the results obtained in Sensoria (i.e., techniques, methods and languages developed in the technical work packages WP1-WP7) to case studies from the Automotive, eUniversity, Finance and Telecommunication domains (developed in work package WP8).

Studies based on British Crime Survey (BCS) data suggest that the overall incidence of workplace assault is relatively low. However, these data have a number of limitations. They include only assaults carried out by clients or the public, provide limited information about the individuals involved and their workplaces, and tell us little about perceived causes of violence at work. The 2008 Workp...

RF Breakdown experiments on short 11.424 GHz accelerating structures at SLAC have shown that properties of rf breakdown probability are reproducible for structures of the same geometry. At a given rf power and pulse shape, the rf breakdown triggers continuously and independently at a constant average rate. Hypotheses describing the properties of the rf breakdown probabilities involve defects of...

This paper aims to find errors that lead to dialogue breakdowns in chat-oriented dialogue systems. We collected chat dialogue data, annotated them with dialogue breakdown labels, and collected comments describing the error that led to the breakdown. By mining the comments, we first identified error types. Then, we calculated the correlation between an error type and the degree of dialogue break...

there exists an arrangement in 5 in which a* follows all the Oi with i<k. Such sets Ssurely exist; for example, any set of m arrangements whose terminal elements are 1, 2, • • • , m, respectively, will obviously be ^-suitable for any k^m. The smallest cardinal number N such that there exists a set of N arrangements which is ^-suitable for m will be denoted by N(m, k); this is therefore a well d...
