The 11th Symposium on Trends in Functional Programming took place on the University of Oklahoma campus in Norman, Oklahoma, May 17-19, 2010. The program included presentations of 26 papers submitted by researchers from six nations and an invited talk by J. Strother Moore on machine reasoning so well received that the question/answer...

Every so often, a technology comes along that changes the way we go about our everyday business. This technology is called a disruptive technology and has such a significant benefit or improvement that people are willing to change their normal way of doing things to incorporate the new technology. Virtualization is one of those disruptive...

Fortunately, this new...

In 1983 I left the International Institute for Aerospace Survey and Earth Sciences (ITC) and went to Wageningen Agricultural University, where I took the chair of “Land Surveying and Teledetection”. Up to that time I had been active mainly in geodesy and photogrammetry, but at Wageningen it soon became...

With the unprecedented rate at which data is being collected today in almost all elds of human endeavor, there is an emerging economic and scientic need to extract useful information from it. For example, many companies already have data-warehouses in the terabyte range (e.g., FedEx, Walmart). The World Wide Web has an estimated 800...
