Motivated by the current demand of clinical governance, surgical simulation is now a well-established modality for basic skills training and assessment. The practical deployment of the technique is a multi-disciplinary venture encompassing…
As the volume of scientific publications grows exponentially, researchers increasingly face difficulties in locating relevant literature. Research Paper Recommender Systems have become vital tools to mitigate this information overload by…
Scientometrics is the study of the quantitative aspects of the process of science as a communication system. It is centrally, but not only, concerned with the analysis of citations in the academic literature. In recent years it has come to…
Many studies demonstrate that there is still a significant gender bias, especially at higher career levels, in many areas including science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). We investigated field-dependent, gender-specific…
This paper presents a general framework about what is a decision problem. Our motivation is related to the fact that decision analysis and operational research are structured (as disciplines) around classes of methods, while instead we…
In the era of big data, analysts usually explore various statistical models or machine learning methods for observed data in order to facilitate scientific discoveries or gain predictive power. Whatever data and fitting procedures are…
This paper attempts to summarise the highlights of the talks presented in Parallel Session II of the SPIN 2004 Symposium dedicated to the QCD spin structure of nucleons. Emphasis is put on new data and theoretical developments.
This document supports a proposed APS statement that encourages academic, research, and other institutions to add the participation in informal science education activities to the criteria they use for hiring and career advancement…
The customers and users need for new products and services according to high-quality standards have increased in the last time. In that sense, the production processes must be aligned with the organization and development process in order…
Quickly moving to a new area of research is painful for researchers due to the vast amount of scientific literature in each field of study. One possible way to overcome this problem is to summarize a scientific topic. In this paper, we…
A primary goal of science and engineering (S & E) education is to produce good problem solvers, but how to best teach and measure the quality of problem-solving remains unclear. The process is complex, multifaceted, and not fully…
In this chapter, we provide advice on how to effectively teach survey research based on lessons learned from several international teaching experiences on the topic and from conducting large-scale surveys published at various scientific…
Scientific conferences play an important part in every scientists career. Here, I suggest an approach that can mitigate biases and help make scientific conferences more inclusive for everybody by increasing the transparency in speaker…
This technical report discusses the submission and peer-review process used by the First Workshop on on Sustainable Software for Science: Practice and Experiences (WSSSPE) and the results of that process. It is intended to record both this…
Summary of the highlights and main themes of a conference on the Coma cluster, "A New Vision of an Old Cluster: Untangling Coma Berenices".
We consider a ranking and selection (R&S) problem with the goal to select a system with the largest or smallest expected performance measure among a number of simulated systems with a pre-specified probability of correct selection. Fully…
Motivated by a recent result of Sakai, we define a new selection operator for covers of topological spaces, inducing new selection hypotheses. We initiate a systematic study of the new hypotheses. Some intriguing problems remain open.
This document represents the proceedings of the 2025 XCSP3 Competition. The results of this competition of constraint solvers were presented at CP'25 (31st International Conference on Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming).
Proper Production Planning and Control (PPC) is capital to have an edge over competitors, reduce costs and respect delivery dates. With regard to PPC, Machine Learning (ML) provides new opportunities to make intelligent decisions based on…
