Looking Ahead?

Human and nonhuman primates are not mentally constrained to the present. They can remember the past and—at least to an extent—anticipate the future. Anticipation of the future ranges from long-term prospection such as planning for retirement to more short-term future-oriented cognition such as planning a route through a maze. Here we tested a great ape species (chimpanzees), an Old World monkey...

Looking at Full Looking Ahead

Haralick and Elliott's full looking ahead algorithm [4] was presented in the same article as forward checking, but is not as commonly used. We give experimental results which indicate that on some types of constraint satisfaction problems, full looking ahead outperforms forward checking. We also present three new looking ahead algorithms, all variations on full looking ahead, which were designe...

Information architecture: Looking ahead

It may be a bit strange to consider where the field of information architecture (IA) is headed. After all, many would argue that it’s too new to be considered as a field at all, or that it is mislabeled, and by no means is there a widely accepted definition of what information architecture actually is. This uncertainty hasn’t crimped the discussion, however; unlike Gertrude Stein’s Oakland, the...
