The domain and goals of the new GLOCAL Integrating Project are summarized, and some likely usage contexts and scenarios are sketched. Several issues that are raised by GLOCAL which are relevant to VISSW 2010 are listed.

Novelty detection involves modeling the normal patterns for detecting any divergence from this behavior. Our recently proposed algorithm, Glabal&Local One Class Classifier (GLocal OCC), can solve this problem by maximizing the margin between the hyperplane and the origin through embedding the global information into the OCSVM framework. In this paper, we propose Linear Programming (LP) GLocal O...

Using the standard auxiliary field method, we derive from the extended NambuJona-Lasinio model an effective meson action containing vector and axial-vector mesons in addition to Goldstone bosons. The vector and axial-vector mesons in this effective action transform as gauge fields of hidden local symmetry Glocal = [U(n)L × U(n)R]local. Here, the realization of enlarged hidden local symmetry is ...

This paper presents the approach of the Glocal European funded project towards the co-production of news on World events, on an information marketplace involving both amateurs and professionals. It discuss the rise of user-generated content amongst worldwide media and how event modelling and technology usage may help to foster this pro-am collaboration. Glocal: Event-based Retrieval of Networke...

as a result of the epiphany of giant multinational media conglomerates, transnational trade networks and the politics of globalization, it is tempting to believe that individual and national identities have morphed. this article argues that such homogenization in relation to individuation is tedious to accept. it draws from theories of symbolic interactionism, social psychology, foucauldian, an...

Text: A potentially game-changing business model is currently being trialled on the island of Mallorca. Ecover, Forum for the Future, GICOM, Daniel Wahl, the University of the Balearic Islands, the local industry Clusters and several local entrepreneurs are working together to pilot a distributed manufacturing model that: • produces locally but draws on the global R&D knowledge held by Ecover •...
