ILP: A Short Look Back and a Longer Look Forward

Inductive logic programming (ILP) is built on a foundation laid by research in machine learning and computational logic. Armed with this strong foundation, ILP has been applied to important and interesting problems in the life sciences, engineering and the arts. This paper begins by briefly reviewing some example applications, in order to illustrate the benefits of ILP. In turn, the application...

A look back and a look ahead.

While many of the forecasts were right on target, others fell short of the mark; both are discussed in light of the challenges facing nurse adminis...

A look back and a look forward: the Journal of Health communication celebrates 100 issues.

From 1995 to 2012 wasn’t just the time span for the first 100 issues of the Journal of Health Communication—it also was a time of many changes for the professional field that this journal covers. I think of four that especially merit mention as we look back and look forward on the field and the Journal of Health Communication’s contribution to it. It was a time of passing for some of the 20th c...

To be sure, I have been very much involved in lipid and lipoprotein research and so, to the extent that lipoproteins are involved in atherogenesis, I could justify my participation in the proceedings ...
