Cross-company business processes are common in today’s networked economy and are nowadays often supported by process support systems that integrate the information systems of the different partners based on web service technology. In contrast to earlier Workflow Management Systems, which were often deployed in the controlled environment of a single company, the distributed nature of modern solu...

Despite considerable research interest in the handling of uncertainty within GIS, the production of what has been described as an error sensitive GIS is still some way off. The increasing use of objectoriented (OO) technology presents a variety of opportunities, but also impediments to the implementation of such an error sensitive GIS. An important barrier stems from the lack of homogeneity wit...

To increase situational awareness of maritime vessels and other entities to enable their exchange various information, the International Maritime Organization mandated use Automatic Identification System (AIS) in 2004. The AIS is a self-reporting system that uses VHF radio link. However, any radio-based prone forgery, especially situations where authentication message not designed into architec...

BACKGROUND Although the importance of disclosing medical errors to patients has been argued, little is known about the relative effect of different attributes of error handling and communication on patients' judgments about errors. OBJECTIVES This study investigates how different characteristics of medical errors and of physicians' subsequent handling of errors contribute to patients' evaluat...

CORRECTION The original article [1] contained an error mistakenly carried forward by the Production department handling this article whereby all authors' names were incorrectly inverted. The original article has now been corrected to reflect the correct names of all authors.

In this paper, we propose that grammar error detection be disambiguated in generating the connected parse(s) of optimal merit for the full input utterance, in overcoming the cheapest error. The detected error(s) are described as violated grammatical constraints in a framework for ModelTheoretic Syntax (MTS). We present a parsing algorithm for MTS, which only relies on a grammar of well-formedne...

Measurement error is ubiquitous in experimental work. It leads to imperfect statistical controls, attenuated estimated effects of elicited behaviors, and biased correlations between characteristics. We develop statistical techniques for handling experimental measurement error. These techniques are applied to data from the Caltech Cohort Study, which conducts repeated incentivized surveys of the...

SML (a higher-order function-oriented imperative programming language) depends on automated inference of sophisticated type information. Existing implementations have confusing type error messages. Type error slicing gives the programmer more helpful type error information: (1) It identifies all program points that contribute to a type error rather than blaming just one point. (2) It exhibits a...
