Apr 29, 2014 - To train 12 young researchers in statistical physics analysis across disciplines in 9 leading institutions. Yesterday's seminar in the Software Modelling & Applied Logic group of the Department of Informatics featured Stefan Marr from INRIA Lille, speaking about Building Virtual Machines for Language Designers. Mar 4, 2013 - More specifically, contemporary building science is a broad discipline that is concerned with the full life cycle of buildings, including: policy (codes and standards);; planning;; design;; construction;; commissioning; This approach is derived from general systems theory and the basic characteristics common to all systems are important to keep in mind when applying building science. Statistical Analysis of Network Dynamics and Interactions. To increase the Such a theory is supposed to describe the evolution of the very early universe. Building Virtual Machines for Language Designers. Please note that the In the Talloires Network, we are building a culture where everybody can learn from everybody else,” added Tapia. So structural systems are partly planned, partly evolved. Sep 29, 2013 - This is where we encounter engineering, healthcare, and other applied disciplines that function like them – they systematise the making of artefacts (skyscrapers, mobile phone networks) and the management of aspects of nature we want to control (agriculture, human health). I have been involved in medical informatics since 1987, and I find the lack of formal methods and theories to be a major impediment to building robust clinical systems. Tapia leads an The latest edition of the Bringing Theory to Practice monographs features an article by Rob Hollister, executive director of the Talloires Network secretariat. 4 hours ago - If you are interested in applying for a travel grant, please contact Maureen Keegan, Talloires Network Program Coordinator by August 31, 2014. Feb 9, 2014 - My interest is to grapple with the manner in which the discipline of International Relations in its dominant mainstream idiom orchestrates and administers intellectual space and the implications this carries for the broader politics of knowledge. DIMACS Center, CoRE Building, Rutgers University To this end, we aim at bringing together researchers from applied disciplines such as sociology, economics, medicine and biology, together with researchers from more theoretical disciplines such as mathematics, statistics, physics and computer science. After the release of that book scientists and mathematicians began Cities are partially planned by people who live in them; buildings are assembled for us to use, we create roads. Jan 30, 2014 - The chemist Ilya Prigogine, a Nobel Laureate, is credited with pioneering research into this discipline and in 1971, based on his research, he applied his theories to vehicular traffic flow in his book Kinetic Theory of Vehicular Traffic.
