Come to this workshop to prepare and practice a negotiation strategy for a faculty position. In this workshop, we will help you answer the two most common questions asked by UCSF trainees during the negotiation process: What should I ask for? How can I ask for it? We highly recommend that you attend or watch the video from Bill Lindstaedt?s ?Negotiating your faculty job offer [1]? seminar prior...

I have been working in VR and interactive 3D for a long time. I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with many of the people that are directly responsible for creating the magic in the world that we live in today. These are the people that started with a virtual blank page and created their own reality. Their vision defined a vector into their future that we have had the privilege of ex...

We generalize the Bisin and Verdier (2000, 2001) model of intergenerational transmission to permit an arbitrary number of cultural traits. A key observation – that this model is equivalent to an evolutionary game under replicator dynamics – allows us to exploit the extensive literature on replicator systems. For some substantively interesting special cases, we demonstrate global stability of eq...

We describe an AI behavior architecture that supports responsive collaborative interruptible and resumable behaviors using behavior queues. This architecture wraps sets of behaviors into roles, which provide a simple efficient mechanism for encapsulating behaviors into components that can change dynamically, based on environmental criteria. To illustrate the viability of this architecture in a ...

Suppose we get a chance to ask an angel a question of our choice. What should we ask to make the most of our unique opportunity? Ned Markosian has shown that the task is trickier than it might seem. Ted Sider has suggested playing safe and asking: What is the true proposition (or one of the true propositions) that would be most beneficial for us to be told? Let’s see whether we can do any bette...

The multimodal trip planning system (MTPS) described in this paper can efficiently identify reasonable journeys. Our methodologies could be implemented in future transit trip information systems. An effective MTPS would be of value to transit agencies or administrators due to the large number of different yet related characteristics of the transit network. In Taiwan, no successful MTPS exists o...

This paper describes the development of a computer simulation of the care of hip fracture, a common and serious injury with a complex journey of care. The project made use of a national, evidence-based guideline on hip fracture care, together with data from a national hip fracture audit and from service and research sources. To overcome the recognized limitations of such data in the modelling o...

BACKGROUND With increasing rates of dementia among older adults, many people will be affected by this disease; either by having the disease or by caring for a relative with dementia. Due to a shift toward home and community-based care there will be an increase in the number of family caregivers caring for persons with dementia. The caregiving experience in the dementia journey is influenced by ...
