Report on Dagstuhl Seminar 03441 : Cognitive Vision Systems ( 26 – 31 October 2003 )

Early attempts to integrate AI and Computer Vision failed due to lack of robust vision techniques for the derivation of symbolic descriptions of the ‘meaning’ of images, and the lack of AI techniques to handle information with associated uncertainty. Over the last decade, significant progress has been achieved in Computational Vision, AI, and

Geometry of an interplanetary CME on October 29, 2003 deduced from cosmic rays

[1] A coronal mass ejection (CME) associated with an X17 solar flare reached Earth on October 29, 2003, causing an 11% decrease in the intensity of high-energy Galactic cosmic rays recorded by muon detectors. The CME also produced a strong enhancement of the cosmic ray directional anisotropy. Based upon a simple inclined cylinder model, we use the anisotropy data to derive for the first time th...

Forum October 2003

Background: Development and increasing acceptance of rehabilitation robots as well as advances in technology allow new forms of therapy for patients with neurological disorders. Robot-assisted gait therapy can increase the training duration and the intensity for the patients while reducing the physical strain for the therapist. Optimal training effects during gait therapy generally depend on ap...

FORUM, October 2003

Advances in information technology (IT) have brought a powerful array of new clinical and management tools to VA medical centers (VAMCs), and continue to change in very fundamental ways how we think about and provide primary care. This is particularly important as VA makes the transition from visit-based primary care management to a model of patient-centered primary care management that monitor...
