  1. Creation Nets: Getting The Most From Open Innovation, McKinsey Quarterly Next Article Bookmark and Share

    Excerpts: Most executives are by now familiar with open innovation: the idea that companies, by looking outside their own boundaries, can gain better access to ideas, knowledge, and technology than they would have if they relied solely on their own resources. Despite the attractions of open innovation - and its successes in areas such as open-source software development - few companies believe that they know the best way of creating value with the open model of innovation.

  2. Social Simulation of Stock Markets: Taking It to the Next Level, Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation Next Article Bookmark and Share

    Abstract: This paper studies the use of social simulation in linking micro level investor behaviour and macro level stock market dynamics. Empirical data from a survey on individual investors' decision-making and social interaction was used to formalize the trading and interaction rules of the agents of the artificial stock market SimStockExchange. Multiple simulation runs were performed with this artificial stock market, which generated macro level results, like stock market prices and returns over time.

    1. Higher-Order Simulations: Strategic Investment Under Model-Induced Price Patterns, Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation Next Article Bookmark and Share

      Excerpts: The trading and investment decision processes in financial markets become ever more dependent on the use of valuation and risk models. In the case of risk management for instance, modelling practice has become quite homogeneous and the question arises as to the effect this has on the price formation process. Furthermore, sophisticated investors who have private information about the use and characteristics of these models might be able to make superior gains in such an environment.

  3. Peer-Allocated Instant Response (PAIR): Computational Allocation of Peer Tutors in Learning Communities, Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation Next Article Bookmark and Share

    Abstract: This paper proposes a computational model for the allocation of fleeting peer tutors in a community of learners: a student's call for support is evaluated by the model in order to allocate the most appropriate peer tutor. Various authors have suggested peer tutoring as a favourable approach for confining the ever-growing workloads of teachers and tutors in online learning environments. The model's starting point is to serve two conflicting requirements: 1) the allocated peers should have sufficient knowledge to guarantee high quality support and 2) tutoring workload of peers should be fairly distributed over the student population.

  4. Self-regulation Abilities, Beyond Intelligence, Play Major Role In Early Achievement, ScienceDaily Next Article Bookmark and Share

    Excerpts: Although intelligence is generally thought to play a key role in children's early academic achievement, aspects of children's self-regulation abilities--including the ability to alternately shift and focus attention and to inhibit impulsive responding--are uniquely related to early academic success and account for greater variation in early academic progress than do measures of intelligence. Therefore, in order to help children from low-income families succeed in school, early school-age programs may need to include curricula designed specifically to promote children's self-regulation skills as a means of enhancing their early academic progress. (...)

    1. Software's Benefits On Tests In Doubt - Study Says Tools Don't Raise Scores, Washington Post Next Article Bookmark and Share

      Excerpts: Educational software, a $2 billion-a-year industry that has become the darling of school systems across the country, has no significant impact on student performance, according to a study by the U.S. Department of Education.

      The long-awaited report amounts to a rebuke of educational technology, a business whose growth has been spurred by schools desperate for ways to meet the testing mandates of President Bush's No Child Left Behind law.

  5. An Extended Reinforcement Algorithm for Estimation of Human Behaviour in Experimental Congestion Games, Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation Next Article Bookmark and Share

    Excerpts: The paper reports simulations applied on two similar congestion games: the first is the classical minority game. The second one is an asymmetric variation of the minority game with linear payoff functions. For each game, simulation results based on an extended reinforcement algorithm are compared with real experimental statistics. It is shown that the extension of the reinforcement model is essential for fitting the experimental data and estimating the player's behaviour.

  6. CARDS: Case-Based Reasoning Decision Support Mechanism for Multi-Agent Negotiation in Mobile Commerce, Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation Next Article Bookmark and Share

    Excerpts: Recent advent of mobile commerce or m-commerce suggests a need to incorporate intelligent techniques capable of providing decision support consistent with past instances as well as coordination support for conflicting goals and preferences among mobile users. Since m-commerce allows users to move around while doing business transactions, it seems imperative for the m-commerce users to be given high quality of decision support which should be timely and consistent with past instances.

  7. How Many Things Can You Do At Once?, New Scientist Next Article Bookmark and Share

    Excerpts: Is it really possible to multitask? New Scientist drops everything to find out ON HER morning drive to work, Debbie drinks her coffee, eats her breakfast, checks her email and chats with her mum, often all at once. She hates wasting time. This isn't just a female talent: Alun can conduct a job interview on top of answering emails and surfing the web. These people are examples of an elite species of human: multitaskers.

    1. Should I Stay Or Should I Go? How The Human Brain Manages The Trade-Off Between Exploitation And Exploration, Phil. Tran. Biol. Sc. Next Article Bookmark and Share

      Excerpt: Many large and small decisions we make in our daily lives-which ice cream to choose, what research projects to pursue, which partner to marry-require an exploration of alternatives before committing to and exploiting the benefits of a particular choice. Furthermore, many decisions require re-evaluation, and further exploration of alternatives, in the face of changing needs or circumstances. That is, often our decisions depend on a higher level choice: whether to exploit well known but possibly suboptimal alternatives or to explore risky but potentially more profitable ones. How adaptive agents choose between exploitation and exploration remains an important and open question (...).

  8. The Art of Cyber-War, SecurityPark.net Next Article Bookmark and Share

    Excerpts: Cyber Security has proved to be an elusive goal that now requires a radical shift in the mental models of IT practitioners. The first issue stems from the idealised concept of security with the implicit belief that a system can be made invulnerable to attack. This is an unattainable goal if we are dealing with any complex IT System, and by complex I mean any network containing more than 2 computers to which human users have access.

  9. The Maverick Theory That Might Explain Life, The Herald Next Article Bookmark and Share

    Excerpts: They call it "biology's theory of everything".

    A single formula that could explain everything from the growth of a single cell to the lifespan of an elephant to the spread of species across the world.

    The theory of "metabolic ecology" was devised 10 years ago by a maverick US physicist. Some think his theory might be as important to biology as Newton's work was to physics. Others feel it is simply a magic bullet.

  10. A Light Switch for the Brain, Technology Review Next Article Bookmark and Share

    Excerpts:
    Worm workout: A light-activated ¡§off¡¨ switch can control the movement of microscopic worms. Scientists engineered the worms to express the switch in motor neurons that control the organisms' ability to swim. Without light, the worms swim normally. But when they are exposed to yellow light, as indicated by the yellow circle, their motor neurons can no longer function, paralyzing the worms. Credit: Alexander Gottschalk
    Scientists have developed a light-triggered switch to control brain cells, which could aid in the development of therapies for epilepsy and other diseases--and shed light on the neural code.

    1. Parasite Hijacks Brains With Surgical Precision, New Scientist Next Article Bookmark and Share

      Excerpts: A mere parasite controls the fate of rats and mice by hijacking the part of the brain that makes the rodents naturally fear cats, a new study shows. Rats and mice normally flee if they smell cat urine, but not if they're infected by the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii. The parasite can only complete its life cycle if its rodent host is eaten by a cat, so it "brainwashes" the creature into apparently liking the scent. (...)


  11. Crisis in Earth Observation, Science Next Article Bookmark and Share

    Excerpts: Just at a time when monitoring changes on the land surface (due to changing land use or climate) should be a national priority, how can continued U.S. technological leadership in satellite remote sensing be in question? While other nations are advancing their technologies, the United States appears unable to maintain its own capabilities. The U.S. Department of Agriculture now must resort to buying crop-monitoring data from Indian satellites. This dependence on foreign assets may well increase: Even NASA may buy foreign data to fill the gap in its Landsat data.

    1. Very Active 2007 Hurricane Season Predicted, Science Daily Next Article Bookmark and Share

      Excerpts:
      NOAA satellite image of Hurricane Katrina taken Aug. 28, 2005, as the storm's outer bands lashed the Gulf Coast of the United States a day before making landfall and leaving a path of destruction in its wake. (Credit: NOAA)
      The U.S. Atlantic basin will likely experience a very active hurricane season, the Colorado State University forecast team announced today, increasing its earlier prediction for the 2007 hurricane season.

      The team's forecast now anticipates 17 named storms forming in the Atlantic basin between June 1 and Nov. 30. Nine of the 17 storms are predicted to become hurricanes, and of those nine, five are expected to develop into intense or major hurricanes (Saffir/Simpson category 3-4-5) with sustained winds of 111 mph or greater.

  12. U.N. Study Shows Likely Impact of Global Warming, NY Times Next Article Bookmark and Share

    Excerpts: The latest United Nations assessment of the role of humans in global warming has found with "high confidence" that greenhouse gas emissions are at least partly responsible for a host of changes already under way, including longer growing seasons and shrinking glaciers.

  13. Fits And Starts - What Regulates The Flow Of Huge Ice Streams?, Science News Next Article Bookmark and Share

    Excerpts: The researchers are eager to understand the behavior of these ice streams because they have considerable influence on sea levels worldwide.

    At 80 kilometers wide, 400 km long, and 2.5 km deep, Antarctica's Lambert Glacier holds the record as the world's largest glacier. Some even larger masses of flowing ice have highly variable velocities, which researchers are beginning to explain. NASA, USGS

  14. Too Few Jaws: Shark Declines Let Rays Overgraze Scallops, Science News Next Article Bookmark and Share

    Excerpts:
    HERD 'EM UP. Cownose rays travel in a dense horde. Each fall, such hordes from the bays of the New Jersey and Delaware region swim south along the coast for the winter. W.S. Otwell
    A shortage of big sharks along the U.S. East Coast is letting their prey flourish, and that prey is going hog wild, demolishing bay scallop populations. (...)

    To test the influence of rays on scallop populations, Peterson and his colleagues encircled patches of scallops with stockades of widely spaced poles. The rays typically don't turn sideways to thread between the poles, although most other creatures swim through them easily.

    1. Invasiveness In Plant Communities With Feedbacks, Ecol. Lett. Next Article Bookmark and Share

      Excerpt: The detrimental effects of invasive plant species on ecosystems are well documented. While much research has focused on discovering ecological influences associated with invasiveness, it remains unclear how these influences interact, causing some introduced exotic species to become invasive threats. Here we develop a framework that incorporates the influences of propagule pressure, frequency independent growth rates, feedback relationships, resource competition and spatial scale of interactions. Our results show that these ecological influences interact in complex ways, resulting in expected outcomes (...).

    Excerpts:
    During the demonstration flight, the pilot of a modified Tornado fighter plane assumed remote control of a BAC 1-11 airliner (Image: Craig Hoyle / Flight International)
    Fighter pilots will one day be able to control entire squadrons of uncrewed combat aircraft as well as their own plane, following successful flight demonstrations of a multi-aircraft remote control system in UK airspace.

    In addition to cutting the number of pilots risked in military operations, the remote control system could one day also be used to auto-land hijacked planes. Or they might allow lone pilots to orchestrate complex search and rescue operations.

  16. Intelligent Materials To Regenerate Bone Tissue, Innovations-report Next Article Bookmark and Share

    Excerpts: More than half a million people in the European Union and a million in the United States suffer from disorders in or serious defects of some part of their bone structure. Operations involving grafts or implants, required to mitigate the damage, depend decisively on the materials used. The European Nanobiocom project, (...) is working on the regeneration and repair of bone tissue. (...) The goal is to come up with a substitute for bone tissue that can put the bone right and regenerate in such a way that it carries out similar functions as in its natural state. (...)

    1. Salamanders Re-grow Lost Limbs, Could Human Medicine Benefit From Understanding Regeneration?, ScienceDaily Next Article Bookmark and Share

      Excerpts: Researchers (...) have initiated a project to treat human brain and other diseases by plundering the secrets of regeneration from creatures with remarkable powers of self-renewal, such as salamanders, newts, starfish and flatworms. Fueled by about $6 million in private donations, university support and state matching funds, "The Regeneration Project" will connect scientists who work with adult human stem cells - the building blocks of self-renewal that exist within our brain, bone marrow and blood - with scientists who study how tissues and limbs develop in a variety of organisms.

  17. Beaming Up 3-D Objects on a Budget, NY Times Next Article Bookmark and Share

    Excerpts:
    Marty Katz for The New York Times
    An original Lego spaceship sits under five copies that were created with a scanner. The digital models can be enlarged or recolored before printing, and the shape can even be altered slightly.
    Laser scanners with arrays of cameras can create digital models of objects that encode all the significant bumps, cracks, corners and facets of real things. Computers can enhance, morph or tweak the models before shipping them to 3-D ¡§printers¡¨ that may be halfway around the world. The result is a new version of the thing itself, but built from some resin or starch. (...)

    The ability to retouch or modify the scanned objects is surprisingly useful. (...)

    Excerpts:
    SUGAR ME UP. With fuel cells that use enzymes, people might someday feed sweet drinks to their portable gadgets. iStockphoto
    Using enzymes commonly found in living cells, a new type of fuel cell produces small amounts of electricity from sugar. If the technology becomes viable for mass production, a few drops of your favorite soft drink will be all you need to recharge your cell phone.

    In fuel cells, chemical reactions generate electrical currents. The process usually relies on precious metals, such as platinum, acting as catalysts. In living cells, enzymes perform a similar job, breaking down sugars to extract electrons and produce energy.

    1. Flexible Batteries That Never Need to Be Recharged, Technology Review Next Article Bookmark and Share

      Excerpts:
      Solar battery: European researchers have integrated thin-film organic solar cells with a flexible polymer battery to produce a lightweight and ultrathin solar battery for low-wattage electronic devices, such as smart cards and mobile phones. The battery can recharge itself when exposed to natural or indoor sunlight, meaning that some electronic gadgets would never need a separate charger. Researchers predict that such a device could be commercially available in some products next year. Credit: G. Dennler, Solar Energy
      European researchers have built prototypes that combine plastic solar cells with ultrathin, flexible batteries. (...)

      "The device is meant to ensure that the battery is always charged with optimum voltage, independently of the light intensity seen by the solar cell," according to the paper. (...)

      It's based on a mix of electrically conducting polymers and fullerenes. The cells can be cut or produced in special shapes and can be printed on a roll-to-roll machine at low temperature, offering the potential of low-cost, high-volume production. (...)


  19. Complex Challenges: Global Terrorist Networks Next Article Bookmark and Share

    1. Propaganda Of The Deed: Terrorism, Counterterrorism, And Mobilization, Ameri. J. Polit. Sc. Next Article Bookmark and Share

      Abstract: Many terrorist factions care about the level of popular support they enjoy within a population they claim to represent. Empirically, this level of support can either rise or fall in the aftermath of a campaign of terrorist violence. Under what circumstances is the use of terror an effective tactic for mobilizing political support for an extremist group? This article models a scenario in which an extremist faction considers attacking a government in the hopes of provoking a counterterror response that will radicalize the population, increasing the extremists' support at the expense of a more moderate faction. (...)
