It cannot be assumed that standard IR systems perform well on historical documents: historical texts differ from modern texts in three ways (Hüning, 1996; Van Der Horst and Marschall, 1989): (a) vocabularies have changed, (b) spelling has ch...

Geological identification of tsunami deposits is important for tsunami hazard studies, especially in areas where the historical data set is limited or absent. Evidence left by historical tsunamis in the coastal sedimentary record of the Gulf of Corinth was investigated by trenching and coring in Kirra on the north coast and Aliki on the south coast. The Gulf of Corinth has a documented tsunami ...

Applications such as those for systems management and intrusion detection employ an automated real-time operation system in which sensor data are collected and processed in real time. Although such a system effectively reduces the need for operation staff, it requires constructing and maintaining correlation rules. Currently, rule construction requires experts to identify problem patterns, a pr...
