Paper Presented at ICCBR'05 Workshop
 | Tip member Chris Tighe presented
work on using causal knowledge to guide case retrieval and adaptation at
the Workshop on Similarities, Processes and Workflows. The workshop was
held in conjunction with the International Conference on
Case-based Reasoning, Chicago, IL, Aug. 2005. |
Paper Accepted for SARA'2005
| Tip members Zina Ibrahim and Ahmed
Tawfik co-authored a paper describing the use of a qualitative
spatiotemporal representation to abstract and describe the actions of
rescue agents in an urban disaster situation. The paper has been
accepted at the Symposium on Abstraction, Reformulation and
Approximation. |

Work on Spatio-temporal Context Learning to Be Pesented at IEEE
ISSPIT
| Recent results on using the spatio-temporal context in vehicle
reidentiication will be presented at the coming meeting of IEEE ISSPIT. These
results came out of the work of A. Peng and A. Tawfik this summer in
collaboration with S. Tabib and B. Abdulhai from the University of Toronto
Intelligent Transportation Research Center. [Sept. 8, 2002] |

| Mohammad Lutful Habib, Dong Liang and Zhiwen Wu has joined the TIP team as
graduate students. More students members are expected to join TIP for the fall
term. |
Paper Accepted: Relevance of Information to Decision Making
| The recent study on the effect of time on information relevance to
decision making will appear in the Proceedings of IEEE- SMC'02. The study by
A. Tawfik and S. Khan presents an empirical upper bound for the relevance time
of old information in dynamic decision networks. The meeting is sponsored by
the IEEE |
