Példának okáért: aba, abccba, ababa. A palindromok világa a leheto legkisebb komplexitású tükörszimmetria világa. Ez az oka annak, hogy a komplexitás fogalmának megközelítéséhez vezeto egyik út alapkövének tartják. A palindromikus 2002-es év alkalmat adott arra, hogy áttekintsük a palindromikus dátumok sorát a történelemben. Mind a természetes nyelvekben, mind a matematikai nyelvben vannak palindrom szerkezetek; a sakk, és más hasonló játékok pedig ilyen felépítésu helyzeteken alapulnak. A szimmetria egy vonalon, illetve egy síkon egy egyeneshez, vagy a térben egy síkhoz képest hasonló palindrom helyzeteket jelenítenek meg. Az úgynevezett végtelen szavak többnyire nem nélkülözhetik a nem triviális palindromokat, sot, palindromikus komplexitásuk fontos paraméter. Mindenkit szeretettel várunk!

2nd CFP: International Workshop on Peer-to-Peer Knowledge Management (P2PKM)

by Ilya Zaihrayeu

[Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement] **** SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS ***** **NEWS: added invited talks** International Workshop on Peer-to-Peer Knowledge Management (P2PKM) -- www.p2pkm.org -- August 22, 2004 - Boston, Massachusetts, USA Collocated with MobiQuitous 2004 (www.mobiquitous.org) Scope of workshop ----------------- Peer-to-Peer (P2P) computing has received significant attention from the side of research labs and academia, largely due to the popularity of commercialized P2P file sharing applications such as Napster, Morpheus and KaZaa. In the P2P model, peers exchange data and/or services in completely decentralized distributed manner. Peers are autonomous, and are free to choose what other peers to interact with, and, in this point-to-point interaction, peers possess equal functional capabilities. On the other hand, Knowledge Management (KM) is increasingly viewed as a core capacity in order to compete in the modern social and economic environment. Researchers and practitioners agree that those intellectual assets that are embedded in working practices, social relationships, and technological artefacts constitute the only source of value that can sustain long term differentiation, quality of services, innovation, and adaptability. Nonetheless, even due to a debatable success of current KM implementations, still unclear is how such matter should be managed in highly complex, distributed, and heterogeneous settings. In the last couple of years, P2P and KM have followed different but converging paths. In fact, P2P technologies have left their initial "computational", "anarchoyd", and spontaneous fashion to embrace more service level domains and business settings. On the other hand, KM is questioning its centralized assumption based on the implicit belief that knowledge is managed successfully when it can be standardized and controlled. In this sense, it seems that while P2P is looking for value added domains to better exploit its technological potential, KM is looking for a technological paradigm more able to fit an emerging distributed organization of knowledge. The convergence of P2P and KM creates new challenges for researchers to address: new methodologies to model, design, and deploy distributed KM solutions; theories and algorithms to represent the social and semantic dimensions of a knowledge network; mechanisms to cope with the dynamic autonomous nature of P2P and to provide means to support emergent network self-organization. New technologies should be provided in order to support full operational functioning of P2P KM systems, ensuring high extensibility of the solutions along several dimensions, such as scalability in the number of peers, size and kind of supported knowledge bases, level of heterogeneity in knowledge representation, robustness, etc. Various technologies can contribute to P2P KM solutions: Semantic Web, with new instruments for knowledge representation, in particular ontologies, as well as with (totally) mechanized means for locating, retrieving and processing of data; database technology, with formal semantics for P2P data sharing; multi agent technology, with innovation solutions of agent-mediated knowledge management; and so on. The P2PKM workshop is intended to serve as an active forum for researchers and practitioners, where they will have the possibility to exchange and discuss research results, novel ideas and experiences, laying in the intersection of the P2P, KM and Semantic Web, database, multi agent, as well as other related technologies. It aims at provoking a discussion around the hypothesis of convergence of P2P and KM areas, and, in particular, at exploring synergies among those that need to provide a distributed technological answer to the distributed management of knowledge, and those that are interested in exploring the substantial implications of the P2P paradigm on important aspects of organizational life such as KM. Topics of interest include but are not restricted to: ----------------------------------------------------- * Distributed Knowledge Management business cases and experiences; * P2P to support (virtual) communities of practice and interest networks; * Organizational impacts of P2P technologies, and social adoption of distributed technologies; * Methodologies to analyse, design and deploy distributed KM solutions; * Social models to design and support knowledge intensive collaborative processes in a P2P environment; * Data models and distributed query languages; * Meta-data representation and management (e.g., semantic-based coordination mechanisms, use of ontologies in P2P KM systems, etc.); * Algorithms to discover distributed knowledge among interacting peers; * Protocols, algorithms and techniques to support semantic interoperability; * Trust and reputation as means to support knowledge acquisition; * Semantic Web and P2P KM systems; * Agent-mediated knowledge management; * P2P KM system architectures, infrastructure and middleware; * Experience with deployed systems, performance evaluation and benchmarking; Important dates --------------- Submission deadline: June 30th, 2004 Acceptance notification: July 16th, 2004 Camera ready due: August 2nd, 2004 Workshop date: August 22nd, 2004 Submission instructions ----------------------- We invite the submission of high quality technical papers. The submitted papers should be formatted as close as possible to the Springer LNCS style and must not exceed 12 pages including figures and references. Interested authors should submit their papers at the EDAS site (http://edas.info/) within the submission deadline. PDF format is preferred, but other formats (PS, DOC) are also acceptable. Accepted papers will be published in the CEUR workshop electronic proceedings, and hardcopies of the proceedings will be handed out at the workshop. At least one author of each accepted paper must attend the workshop to present their work.

Vallortigara & Rogers/Survival with an asymmetrical brain: BBS Call for Commentators

by Behavioral & Brain Sciences

Below the proposal instructions please find the abstract, keywords, and a link to the full text of the forthcoming BBS target article: Survival with an asymmetrical brain: Advantages and disadvantages of cerebral lateralization Giorgio Vallortigara and Lesley J. Rogers This article has been accepted for publication in Behavioral and Brain Sciences (BBS), an international, interdisciplinary journal providing Open Peer Commentary on important and controversial current research in the biobehavioral and cognitive sciences. Commentators must be BBS Associates or suggested by a BBS Associate. To be considered as a commentator for this article, to suggest other appropriate commentators, or for information about how to become a BBS Associate, please reply by EMAIL within three (3) weeks to: calls(a)bbsonline.org The Calls are sent to 10,000 BBS Associates, so there is no expectation (indeed, it would be calamitous) that each recipient should comment on every occasion! Hence there is no need to reply except if you wish to comment, or to suggest someone to comment. If you are not a BBS Associate, please approach a current BBS Associate (there are currently over 10,000 worldwide) who is familiar with your work to nominate you. All past BBS authors, referees and commentators are eligible to become BBS Associates. An electronic list of current BBS Associates is available at this location to help you select a name: http://www.bbsonline.org/Instructions/assoclist.html If no current BBS Associate knows your work, please send us your Curriculum Vitae and BBS will circulate it to appropriate Associates to ask whether they would be prepared to nominate you. (In the meantime, your name, address and email address will be entered into our database as an unaffiliated investigator.) ======================================================================= COMMENTARY PROPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS ======================================================================= To help us put together a balanced list of commentators, it would be most helpful if you would send us an indication of the relevant expertise you would bring to bear on the paper, and what aspect of the paper you would anticipate commenting upon. Please DO NOT prepare a commentary until you receive a formal invitation, indicating that it was possible to include your name on the final list, which is constructed so as to balance areas of expertise and frequency of prior commentaries in BBS. ======================================================================= *** TARGET ARTICLE INFORMATION *** ======================================================================= TITLE: Survival with an asymmetrical brain: Advantages and disadvantages of cerebral lateralization AUTHORS: Giorgio Vallortigara and Lesley J. Rogers ABSTRACT: Recent evidence in natural and semi-natural settings has revealed a variety of left-right perceptual asymmetries among vertebrates. This includes preferential use of the left or right visual hemifield during activities such as searching for food, agonistic responses or escape from predators in animals as different as fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals. There are obvious disadvantages in showing such directional asymmetries because relevant stimuli may happen to be located to the animals left or right at random; there is no a priori association between the meaning of a stimulus (e.g., its being a predator or a food item) and its being located to the animal's left or right. Moreover, other organisms (e.g. predators) could exploit the predictability of behavior that arises from population-level lateral biases. It might be argued that lateralization of function can enhance cognitive capacity and efficiency of the brain, thus counteracting the ecological disadvantages of lateral biases in behavior. However, such an increase in brain efficiency could be obtained by each individual being lateralized without any need to align the direction of the asymmetry in the majority of the individuals of the population. Here we argue that the alignment of the direction of behavioral asymmetries at the population level arises as an evolutionarily stable strategy under "social" pressures, i.e. when individually asymmetrical organisms must coordinate their behavior with the behavior of other asymmetrical organisms of the same or different species. KEYWORDS: Asymmetry, lateralization of behavior, brain evolution, brain lateralization, evolution of lateralization, evolutionarily stable strategy, hemispheric specialization, laterality, social behavior, development FULL TEXT: http://www.bbsonline.org/Preprints/Vallortigara-12152003/Referees/ ======================================================================= SUPPLEMENTARY ANNOUNCEMENT ======================================================================= (1) Call for Book Nominations for BBS Multiple Book Review In the past, Behavioral and Brain Sciences (BBS) had only been able to do 1-2 BBS multiple book treatments per year, because of our limited annual page quota. BBS's new expanded page quota will make it possible for us to increase the number of books we treat per year, so this is an excellent time for BBS Associates and biobehavioral/cognitive scientists in general to nominate books you would like to see accorded BBS multiple book review. (Authors may self-nominate, but books can only be selected on the basis of multiple nominations.) It would be very helpful if you indicated in what way a BBS Multiple Book Review of the book(s) you nominate would be useful to the field (and of course a rich list of potential reviewers would be the best evidence of its potential impact!). *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Please note: Your email address has been added to our user database for Calls for Commentators, the reason you received this email. If you do not wish to receive further Calls, please feel free to change your mailshot status through your User Login link on the BBSPrints homepage, using your username and password. Or, email a response with the word "remove" in the subject line. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Barbara Finlay - Editor Paul Bloom - Editor Behavioral and Brain Sciences bbs(a)bbsonline.org http://www.bbsonline.org -------------------------------------------------------------------
