This forum provides a space to engage with the challenges of designing for intelligent algorithmic experiences. We invite articles that tackle tensions between research and practice when integrating AI UX design. welcome interdisciplinary debate, artful critique, forward-looking research, case studies in practice, speculative design explorations. --- Juho Kim Henriette Cramer, Editors

Donald Kennedy and Brooks Hanson ("A time of opportunity," Editorial, 30 Jan., p. 589) clearly are aware of the extraordinary foundation of scientific knowledge about the origin and history of the Moon, Earth, planets, and solar system that came as a consequence of U.S. explorations of the moon. I was surprised, however, by their implication that the time of human exploration of space has passe...

Compared to conventional general-purpose processors, accelerator-rich architectures (ARAs) can provide ordersof-magnitude performance and energy gains and are emerging as one of the most promising solutions in the age of dark silicon. However, many design issues related to the complex interaction between general-purpose cores, accelerators, customized on-chip interconnects, and memory systems r...

This paper introduces a variant of Artificial Bee Colony algorithm and compares its results with a number of swarm intelligence and population based optimization algorithms. The Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) is an optimization algorithm based on the intelligent food foraging behavior of honey bees. The proposed variant, Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm with Balanced Explorations and Exploitations ...

Composing services makes sense only if they are compatible, i.e. composition does not lead to problems such as livelocks or deadlocks. In general, compatibility can be checked using state space explorations on any kind of formal models of services. Petri nets, one of the formal models in use, offer a rich theory for reasoning without exploring a state space. Among the techniques is the so-calle...
