Organizing a Data Library

Organizing for change at Uppsala University Library

Uppsala University library is one of the largest in Sweden with a wide range of specialties and subjects. In the last 18 month the library has gone through a re-organization with the aim to make the library more united. The re-organization meant that eleven library units were merged into five, and three processes were introduced; Media and Collections, Studyand Research Support and Information ...

NGTSOM: A Novel Data Clustering Algorithm Based on Game Theoretic and Self- Organizing Map

Identifying clusters is an important aspect of data analysis. This paper proposes a noveldata clustering algorithm to increase the clustering accuracy. A novel game theoretic self-organizingmap (NGTSOM ) and neural gas (NG) are used in combination with Competitive Hebbian Learning(CHL) to improve the quality of the map and provide a better vector quantization (VQ) for clusteringdata. Different ...

Self-Organizing Data Structures

We survey results on self-organizing data structures for the search problem and concentrate on two very popular structures: the un-sorted linear list, and the binary search tree. For the problem of maintaining unsorted lists, also known as the list update problem, we present results on the competitiveness achieved by deterministic and random-ized on-line algorithms. For binary search trees, we ...

Organizing research data

Research relies on ever larger amounts of data from experiments, automated production equipment, questionnaries, times series such as weather records, and so on. A major task in science is to combine, process and analyse such data to obtain evidence of patterns and correlations.Most research data are on digital form, which in principle ensures easy processing and analysis, easy long-term preser...
