Living with Radon and Uncertainty
Lung cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States, heart disease is the first. In 1990 an estimated 142,000 will die from lung cancer and approximately 157,000 new cases will be reported.' Of the latter, only 20,000 are expected to survive beyond five years. For all practical purposes lung cancer is 100% fatal . The Environmental Protection Agency has predicted that 8,400 43...
متن کاملLiving with Uncertainty
This paper describes 12 years of experience in developing simulation software for automotive companies. By building software from scratch, using boundary integral methods and other techniques, it has been possible to tailor the software to address specific issues that arise in painting processes applied to vehicles and to provide engineers with results for real-time optimization and manufacturi...
متن کاملCoping with Complexity and Uncertainty
The computational and heuristic strategies used by decision makers to manage uncertainty in complex systems originated with the early landmark contributions of J. von Neumann. These contributions took the form of artificial intelligence and artificial life concepts, and then evolved more specifically into game theory, expert systems, neural networks, genetic algorithms and evolutionary computat...
متن کاملLiving with complexity
A potted history of complexity The history of the human mind can be written as a steady upgrading in our power to conceptualise the world, once we cracked the master technology---syntactic language. Yes, there were hiccups when our search for meaning led us down the paths of animism and magic. But the Greeks, talking and writing to each other, decided that the truth was something to be discover...
متن کاملManaging musical complexity with embodied metaphors
This paper presents the ideas and mapping strategies behind a performance system that uses a combination of motion tracking and feature extraction tools to manage complex multichannel audio materials for real-time music composition. The use of embodied metaphors within these mappings is seen as a means of managing the complexity of a musical performance across multiple modalities. In particular...
