control policy from immediate perceptual input to the optimal choice of action. This paper introduces the predictive distinctions approach to compensate for perceptual aliasing caused from incomplete perception of the world. An additional component, a predictive model, is utilized to track aspects

Treemaps, a space-filling method of visualizing large hierarchical data sets, are receiving increasing attention. Several algorithms have been proposed to create more useful displays by controlling the aspect ratios of the rectangles that make up a treemap. While these algorithms do improve

Given a non-cooperative agent, we seek to formulate a control strategy to enable a team of robots to localize and track the agent in a complex but known environment while maintaining a continuously optimized line-of-sight communication chain to a fixed base station. We focus on two aspects

symbol of strength, but it should be interpreted as a symptom of weak authority and inadequate controls (Nietzsche 1956: 205; Durkheim 1973: 199). The most visible and striking phenomenon of recent penal policy in Britain and the USA is the punitiveness which has come to characterize prominent aspects

We argue that technical features which make aspects of computer network visible can have ambivalent effects for the users. On the one hand they support cooperation among the users, whereas on the other hand these features can be applied to control the users extensively. To examine this ambivalence

Abstract Research into the cognitive aspects of programming originated in the study of professional programmers (whether experts or students). Even "end-user" programmers What is Programming? Goodell's excellent website devoted to end user programming Programming is in fact

this approach has the advantage to allow the control of complex crosscutting concerns in its own self-contained module, it hides vital information in the original program: the join points. Join Points are the places in the original, "classic" OO source code where the separately defined aspects

techniques such a AspectJ or Hyper/J. Yet other concerns, however, may not be easily separable due to complex interactions with the rest of a program. In this paper, we show that generic design, in addition to simplifying program representation by avoiding repetitions, can also enhance the visibility
