The final publication is available at http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs10526-007-9124-y, Wetland restoration frequently sets well-defined vegetation targets, but where restoration occurs on highly degraded land such targets are not practical and setting looser targets may be more appropriate. Where this more ‘open-ended’ approach…

Our research project intends to build knowledge about HPC problems to be able to help local researchers. In the general case, researchers who consult us do not own the sources to the parallel programs they run. In order to advise…

About 10 years ago informatics teacher training did not seem to be too productive. Even though many students graduated, most of them chose well paid jobs as IT specialists rather than underpaid teacher positions in Hungary. What is then the…

The studies of anatomy and physiology are fundamental ingredients of medical education. This paper identifies six ways in which such functional knowledge serves as the underpinnings for general medical reasoning, and outlines the design of a computational model of common…

Many systems have been developed for constructing decision trees from collections of examples. Although the decision trees generated by these methods are accurate and efficient, they often suffer the disadvantage of excessive complexity that can render them incomprehensible to experts.…
