Computational algorithms have recently emerged as the subject of fervent public and academic debates. What animates many of these debates is a perceived lack of clarity as to what algorithms actually are, what precisely they do, and which human-technologyrelations their application may bring about. Therefore, this CSCW workshop critically discusses computational algorithms and the diverse ways ...

In this paper we propose a generalization of the local internal contextual grammars, introduced by Ilie in 1997, namely the k-local internal contextual grammars. These grammars are, in fact, classical internal contextual grammars, but their only permitted derivations are those that can be described in a restricted manner (that depends on the number k). Within this formalism we define different ...

The robust controlled invariance describes the ability to maintain, using suitable control actions, the state of a system in a set for any value of the disturbances. By considering a class of monotone systems and a multidimensional interval as target set, we obtain a simple characterization of the robust controlled invariance. We then give a method to stabilize the state into a robust controlle...

Throughout its life mankind faces various disasters and catastrophes: natural, technogenic, social. One of the important sources of information for these situations is the huge volume of unstructured data available in the global information networks. In this study, we describe a tool set that includes methods for extracting relevant texts from the networks, their classification and analysis. Tw...

It has been reported recently that while general sequence learning across ages conforms to the typical inverted-U shape pattern, with best performance in early adulthood, surprisingly, the basic ability of picking up in an implicit manner triplets that occur with high vs. low probability in the sequence is best before 12 years of age and it significantly weakens afterwards. Based on these findi...
