Special issue: Uncertainties in geometric design

In computing, it is a basic fact that, owing to the finiteness in representation, errors occur and they accumulate. In geometric computing, the 'logic' for performing set operations is not necessarily the classical binary one. How, then, does one ensure a robust process, if not error-free results? Physically, uncertainty in geometric data manifests itself in metrological studies in the small, a...

Special issue on data management in bioinformatics

Bioinformatics is the science of storing, extracting, organizing, analyzing, and interpreting biological data. Its importance has increased with the technology of DNA sequencing, microarrays, as well as the widespread understanding that genes and proteins act in networks. This in turn renders high performance data analysis algorithms central to various bioinformatics tasks. The research topics ...

Communication, technology, and political conflict : Introduction to the special issue

Modern communication technology is emerging rapidly, with tremendous social implications. The key innovations introduced by this technology include the increased pervasiveness and the rich nature of digitally transmitted information, and a new type of network structure over which it is disseminated. The articles in this special issue present theoretical and empirical research on the relationshi...

Special Issue on Human Work Interaction Design

IFIP 13.6 Human Work Interaction Design (HWID) is a working group, which aims to establish relationships between empirical work-domain studies and Human Computer Interaction (HCI) design. Our concern is to extend the long tradition of HCI to study the connections between interaction design and the work context, in the light of the fact that the world that we work in has become much more digital...
