[Editor's note: As you can see, the IEEE Computer Society as we know it today was created in September 1970. It has flourished for 50 years, and I predict a great future for all of us, as information technology will continue to provide essential services to humanity.]

They are mostly interesting for the explanation they give for the technology that existed then and for reminding us of the tremendous progress we have made since.] Evolving Digital Computer Systems Architecture (p. 2) "Computing Architectures are distinguished by the explosive growth of their great variety in the last decade. This article will describe that part of computer history of the last two decades, that has led to the future as seen today, plus point out various architecture trends for the future. In the dark abysm of time-to be more precise, the period surrounding the period mid to late 1950's-computer system design became a recognized profession. About the same time, or somewhat before, designers discovered that there were other computer architectures, alternate to the classic van Neumann type. Since then there has been a tremendous proliferation of different types of computer organizations designed and many even built. This trend will continue for the foreseeable future throughout the final sweep of this century." (p. 5) "By trying to be somewhat compatible with old or current systems, systems architectures which are totally different and innovatively new are difficult to sell to management and customers. Still, in the face of these squelching problems, the field, lately, is beginning to see a formidable number of new architectures!" (p. 8) "The most noticeable trend for next generation computer architectures is the building into the hardware many more features-many of which heretofore were only programed. The basic reason for this trend is twofold, namely: programming is costly and logic is low cost." [Editor's note: The article implies the appearance of many different/novel architectures. However, further reading reveals that what is really meant are things such as separate I/O units, graphic subsystems, intelligent terminals, multiprocessors, parallel architectures, and so on. Despite that somewhat disappointing revelation, the article gives some insights into the thinking about computers 50 years ago. The idea of moving more and more software into hardware-look at IBM-was seen as a great idea then and was tried but has since been mostly discarded in mainline computing.]

Thus, it is important to keep the health of the lakes at an acceptable level for the optimum usage of water sport activity. The water quality index is used to assess the water quality condition of the lakes. Water quality index (WQI) and interim national water quality standards (INWQS) for Malaysia are used to monitor the health of the lakes. A total of two sample stations were collected at Lake 1 and Lake 2 of Taman Tasik Titiwangsa. Six selected parameters (biological oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand, dissolved oxygen, pH, suspended solid and ammoniacal nitrogen) were used to calculate the water quality index. From the analysis, it showed that both Lake 1 and Lake 2 are Class II condition and visitors can use it for water sport activity. Several recommendations are noted to improve the WQI value for the use of Taman Tasik Titiwangsa visitors especially for water sport activity.

A possible application is focused Web crawling which may start with very few, manually selected, training documents but can be enhanced by automatically adding initially unlabeled, positively classified Web pages for retraining. Such an approach is by itself not robust and faces tuning problems regarding parameters like the number of selected documents, the number of retraining iterations, and the ratio of positive and negative classified samples used for retraining. The paper develops methods for automatically tuning these parameters, based on predicting the leave-one-out error for a re-trained classifier and avoiding that the classifier is diluted by selecting too many or weak documents for retraining. Our experiments with three different datasets confirm the practical viability of the approach

Voge, Wolfsburg with the extremely valuable help of the referees listed below have tried to select from the many papers submitted to the conference those which contain the most interesting and important results. Special emphasis was to he given to the papers on de velopment experience and use of application systems. Unfor tunately in these areas only very few p...

This view is based on the concept of emergent semantics, which sees both the representation of semantics and the discovery of the proper interpretation of symbols as the result of a self-organizing process performed by distributed agents exchanging symbols and having utilities dependent on the proper interpretation of the symbols.
