Provenance Tipping Point
Capture is a known, difficult problem for provenance. Obtaining from the systems and programs exactly what happened has been a continuing struggle outside of database and workflow systems. The provenance research community has created libraries to log provenance, and has also embedded instances of capture agents within operating systems, specific programs, etc. However, it is impossible to know...
متن کاملAesthetic surgery's "tipping point".
As I reflected upon the multiple national meetings I have attended over the last few years, I realized that our specialty is, to borrow from the enlightening author Malcolm Gladwell, a millennial expression, at a “tipping point.” The subject is as difficult to discuss as it is critical, but I am emboldened by the fact that mine is the impression of almost every colleague I have spoken to, wheth...
متن کاملRaman spectroscopy: Tipping point.
Advances in heterogeneous catalysis must rely on the rational design of new catalysts. This requires the ability to characterize the relationship between topography and chemical reactivity at the single site level. Measurements should be designed to extract the molecular structure and the adsorption geometry at the same time. Transmission electron microscopy and scanning probe microscopy delive...
متن کاملModeling Tipping Point Theory using Normative Multi-agent Systems
Tipping points occur when a large number of group members radically modify their behaviors in response to small but significant events; after a critical point is reached, the behavior of the entire social system changes irrevocably. This paper proposes that normative multi-agent systems (NorMAS) can serve as excellent computational models for modeling and predicting tipping points. We illustrat...
متن کامل2008: a tipping point for disease management?
Given recent events, 2008 has certainly been a year of discontent for the commercial disease management industry1 and ultimately may turn out to be its tipping point. The year kicked off with continuing questions about the effectiveness of disease management, precipitated by Mattke et al.’s highly publicized study from late 2007, “Evidence for the effect of disease management: Is $1 billion a y...
