Having... Aug 30 2010 Sequential art for science and CHI Rowland D., Porter D., Gibson M., Walker K., Underwood J., Luckin R., Smith H., Fitzpatrick G., Good J., Walker B., Chamberlain A., Rennick Egglestone S., Marshall J., Schnädelbach H., Benford S.  CHI EA 2010 (Proceedings of the 28th International Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (Extended Abstracts), Atlanta, GA,  Apr 10-15, 2010) 2651-2660, 2010. Type: Proceedings This is not an ordinary scientific paper. In fact, it is such an outstanding work that I will make my PhD students read it both because of its content and its format.... Aug 23 2010 Data engineering: mining, information and intelligence Chan Y., Talburt J., Talley T.,  Springer Publishing Company, Incorporated, New York, NY, 2009. 447 pp. Type: Book What attracted me to this book was its title. With the massive growth of data that spans many different types, including multimedia, and runs into petabytes and beyond in volume, the effective management of data is now a major concern. Data...

Type: Article In FarmVille (http://farmville.com/), a wildly popular online social networking game, players manage a virtual farm with their friends by planting, growing, and harvesting crops and trees, and raising livestock for both individual and collective... Aug 2 2010 Scientific data mining and knowledge discovery: principles and foundations Gaber M.,  Springer Publishing Company, Incorporated, New York, NY, 2009. 400 pp. Type: Book Much of scientific discovery is the result of induction--patterns peeking through data are recognized. Of course, this process requires a trained mind and a conceptual framework that may be either confirmed or challenged. The investigator... Jul 26 2010 A numerical evaluation of preprocessing and ILU-type preconditioners for the solution of unsymmetric sparse linear systems using iterative methods Mayer J.  ACM Transactions on Mathematical Software 36(1): 1-26, 2009. Type: Article The efficient solution of large sparse linear systems is critical for a wide range of applications. An important approach, considered here for the unsymmetric case, employs an iterative framework with a preconditioner. The preconditioners studied ... Jul 19 2010 Formal theories of information: from Shannon to semantic information theory and general concepts of information Sommaruga G.  Springer-Verlag, New York, NY, 2009. Type: Divisible Book Information theory addresses two basic issues in communication theory: the ultimate data compression and the ultimate transmission rate. The persistent enigma in the use and meaning of the term “information” is the fact that, while...
