Y Miao, P Diaz-Gutierrez, Renato Pajarola, M Gopi, J Feng, Shape isophotic error metric controllable re-sampling for point-sampled surfaces, In: IEEE International Conference of Shape Modeling and Applications, 2009-06-26. (Conference or Workshop Paper published in Proceedings) Shape simplification and re-sampling of underlying point-sampled surfaces under userdefined error bounds is an important and challenging issue. Based on the regular triangulation of the Gaussian sphere and the surface normals mapping onto the Gaussian sphere, a Gaussian sphere based re-sampling scheme is presented that generates a non-uniformly curvature-aware simplification of the given point-sampled model. Owing to the theoretical analysis of shape isophotic error metric for did that Gaussian sphere based sampling, the proposed simplification scheme provides a convenient way to control the re-sampling results under a user-specified error metric bound. The novel algorithm has been implemented and demonstrated on several examples.

Klaus Krogmann, Christian M. Schweda, Sabine Buckl, Michael Kuperberg, Anne Koziolek, Florian Matthes, Improved Feedback for Architectural Performance Prediction using Software Cartography Visualizations, In: Architectures for Adaptive Systems (Proceeding of QoSA 2009), Springer, 2009. (Conference or Workshop Paper published in Proceedings) Software performance engineering provides techniques to analyze and predict the performance (e.g., response time or resource utilization) of software systems to avoid implementations with insufficient performance. These techniques operate on models of software, often at an architectural level, to enable early, design-time predictions for evaluating design alternatives. Current software performance engineering approaches allow the prediction of performance at design time, but often provide cryptic results (e.g., lengths of queues). These prediction results can be hardly mapped back to the software architecture by humans, making it hard to derive the right design decisions. In this paper, we integrate software cartography (a map technique) with software performance engineering to overcome the limited interpretability of raw performance prediction results. Our approach is based on model transformations and a general software visualization approach. It provides an intuitive mapping of prediction results to the software architecture which simplifies design decisions. We successfully evaluated our approach in a quasi experiment involving 41 participants by comparing the correctness of performance-improving design decisions and participants' time effort using our novel approach to an existing software performance visualization.
Dana Damian, A Hernandez Arieta, M Lungarella, Rolf Pfeifer, An automated metrics set for mutual adaptation between human and robotic device, In: IEEE 11th International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics, ICORR, 2009-06-23. (Conference or Workshop Paper published in Proceedings) In rehabilitation robotics, a strong coupling between human and robot entails high requirements for achieving mutual adaptation. The latter underlies the acceptance of the robotic device as an extension of the human body and promotes an efficient collaboration. We present automated metrics for quantifying models of human-robot interaction and the mutual adaptation based on the pattern of informational flow between the two participants in the interaction. These methods allow the robotic device to gain the ability to score the mutual adaptation and to implement strategies for increasing it, fostering the human-centered robot autonomy in rehabilitation robotics.

Peter Zweifel, Friedrich Breyer, Mathias Kifmann, Health economics, Springer, Berlin, 2009-06-21. (Book/Research Monograph) Health Economics presents a systematic treatment of the economics of health behavior and health care delivery. Appropriate both for advanced undergraduate and graduate students of economics, this text provides the background required to understand current research,presenting theoretical models as well as empirical evidence and summarizing key results. Without neglecting ethical concerns, modern microeconomic theory is applied to formulate theoretical implications and predictions. Issues discussed include the economic valuation of life and health, moral hazard in health care utilization, supplier-induced demand, the search for remuneration systems with favorable incentives, risk selection in health insurance markets, and technological change in medicine.

Mathias Hoffmann, Thomas Nitschka, Financial globalisation and securitisation in mortgage markets, Vox, 2009. (Journal Article) Mortgage-backed securities have played a major role in the financial crisis and aren’t very popular as a result. This column documents macroeconomic benefits of these instruments, showing that economies with more developed markets for securitised mortgage debt share more consumption risk with other economies.
