T' HE idea of this study originated from the establishment of a 1 diagnostic centre in Edinburgh in 1959. Aware that various aspects of general practice are increasingly the subject of discussion and argument but less frequently critically examined, we decided to study the records of 200 patients that one of us, a general practitioner, had examined at the Family Doctor Centre in Edinburgh. Thes...

We consider the translation of general AI problems into CSPs. In particular, we have developed a translation suite able to translate first order specifications into the syntax of the Sicstus CLPFD constraint solver. We describe recent extensions to the capabilities of this suite which have enabled it to handle problems outside of the algebraic domains for which it was designed. We demonstrate t...

The construction of gravitational wave observatories is one of the greatest scientific efforts of our time. As a result, there is presently a strong need to numerically simulate the emission of gravitation radiation from massive astronomical events such as black hole collisions. This entails the numerical solution of the Einstein field equations. We briefly describe the field equations in their...
