We consider generalized monotone functions f: X -- {0,1} defined for an arbitrary binary relation = on X by the property x = y implies f(x) = f(y). These include the standard monotone (or positive) Boolean functions, regular Boolean functions and other interesting functions as special cases. It...

This article presents a hybrid modeling framework for estimating and predicting arterial traffic conditions using streaming GPS probe data. The model is based on a well-established theory of traffic flow through signalized intersections and is combined with a machine learning framework to both...

Die deutsche Bauwirtschaft hat ein Jahrzehnt stark rückläufiger Baunachfrage hinter sich: 2004 erreichte das reale Bauvolumen nur noch 78% des Wertes von 1994. Auch 2005 ist noch nicht mit einer nachhaltigen Verbesserung zu rechnen. Die mittel- und langfristige Entwicklung wird jedoch einen...

The goal of this paper is to deliver to the reader a large number of graphs in order to allow him/her to choose the ones that he/she considers important to form his/her own opinion. Graphs from data are more important than statements which are mainly interpretation and political, but the problem...
