Harnessing ontologies
Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) are being developed to meet specific application needs in diverse domains across the engineering and biomedical sciences (e.g. drug delivery). However, accompanying the exciting proliferation of novel nanomaterials is a challenging race to understand and predict their possibly detrimental effects on human health and the environment. The eNanoMapper project (www.e...
متن کاملHarnessing Complexity in Design
Large scale design problems involve complex systems. The complexity arises from the nature of the large interconnected systems and is escalated by the background, personal characteristics, and perspectives of the individuals working on the design team. It is important for designers to understand complexity and how complexity affects the understanding and prediction of system behavior. It is eve...
متن کاملHarnessing complexity in CSCW
We argue that socio-technical systems can be understood as complex adaptive systems, that is, systems containing component sub-systems interacting such that they co-evolve This viewpoint may allow us to understand more clearly the factors that underlie the complexities of socio-technical systems, and allows for a new approach to systems design predicated on unpredictable adaptive processes. Sys...
متن کاملHarnessing Human Manipulation
This paper describes a new project to analyze the vast corpus of human manipulation videos available on the web, using citizen scientists. Humans understand human manipulation well enough to segment videos appropriately, to assign intent, and to recognize actions even from poor imagery. A large corpus of analyzed human manipulation would add to our understanding of manipulation, support automat...
متن کاملHarnessing Morphogenesis Csrp 423
This paper explains in detail a biologically inspired encoding scheme for the artiicial evolution of neural network robot controllers. Under the scheme, an individual cell divides and moves, in response to protein interactions with an artiicial genome, to form a multi-cellularòrganism'. After diierentiation dendrites grow out of each cell, guided by chemically sensitive growth cones, to form co...
