Editorial - MCQT'10: computational methods and applications in queueing theory

The Madrid Conference on Queueing Theory (MCQT) aims to be a meeting place where scientists and technicians in the field will find a discussion forum to promote research, encourage interaction and exchange ideas. The conference is open to all trends including the development of the theory, methodology advances, computational aspects and applications of Queueing Theory. Papers submitted for this...

Computational Photography: Methods and Applications

GRID Computing and Computational Immunology

Biological function emerges from the interaction of processes acting across a range of spatio-temporal scales. Therefore understanding disease and developing potential therapeutic strategies requires studies that bridge across multiple levels. This requires a systems biology approach and the tools used must be based on effective mathematical algorithms and built by combining experimental and th...

Different methods of forging; applications and obstacles

Forging is a manufacturing process that consists of shaping the metal using localized compression forces. The blows are delivered with a hammer (often an electric hammer) or a die. In this paper, different methods of forging (multi-directional forging, hot forging, near-beta forging, multi-axial forging, direct powder forging, warm forging and ring forging) are discussed. The main problems that...

Counterfactual Probabilities: Computational Methods, Bounds and Applications

Evaluation of counterfactual queries (e.g., "If A were true, would C have been true?") is important to fault diagnosis, planning, and determination of liability. In this paper we present methods for computing the proba­ bilities of such queries using the formulation proposed in [Balke and Pearl, 1994], where the antecedent of the query is interpreted as an external action that forces the propos...
