For centuries, humankind accepts truth to be something static and global but Nietzsche has famously argued that truth is a metaphor and for that matter changeable and perennially evolving. As I hope to show here, this radical view has resulted out of Nietzsche’s meta-commentary on language and logic. The main purpose of this article is to examine the key points of Nietzsche’s arguments and the ...

Many natural and man-made lineaments form networks that can be analysed through entropy and energy considerations. Here we report the results of a detailed study of the variations in trends and lengths of 1554 named streets and 6004 street segments, forming a part of the evolving street network of the city of Dundee in East Scotland. Based on changes in the scaling exponents (ranging from 0.24 ...

Truss was proposed to study social network data represented by graphs. A k-truss of a graph is a cohesive subgraph, in which each edge is contained in at least k − 2 triangles within the subgraph. While truss has been demonstrated as superior to model the close relationship in social networks and efficient algorithms for finding trusses have been extensively studied, very little attention has b...

From 22.10.06 to 27.10.06, the Dagstuhl Seminar 06431 Scalable Data Management in Evolving Networks was held in the International Conference and Research Center (IBFI), Schloss Dagstuhl. During the seminar, several participants presented their current research, and ongoing work and open problems were discussed. Abstracts of the presentations given during the seminar as well as abstracts of semi...

Community structure in networks has been investigated from many viewpoints, usually with the same end result: a community detection algorithm of some kind. Recent research offers methods for combining the results of such algorithms into timelines of community evolution. This paper investigates community detection and tracking from the data fusion perspective. We avoid the kind of hard calls mad...

Received: 25 November 2002 Revised: 2 December 2002 Accepted: 4 December 2002 Abstract We introduce a method for visualizing evolving networks. In addition to the intermediate states of the network, it conveys the nature of change between states by unrolling the dynamics of the network. Each modification is shown in a separate layer of a three-dimensional representation, where the stack of laye...

evolving models have found applications in many real world systems. in this paper, potentials of the evolving linear models (elms) in tracking control design for nonlinear variable structure systems are introduced. at first, an elm is introduced as a dynamic single input, single output (siso) linear model whose parameters as well as dynamic orders of input and output signals can change through ...

This paper introduces a method based on Evolving Connectionist Systems (ECOS) for person verification tasks. The method allows for the development of models of persons and their on-going adjustment based on new speech and face images. Some experimental person verification models based on speech and face image features are developed based on this method where speech and face image information ar...
