Dear Readers:
This number 3 of volume 1 of J.UCS contains 5 papers papers that cover an
extremly wide range of areas. It is the first time that we have included
two award winning papers from a big international conference, something
we will continue to do whenever appropriate. Both papers come from the
ED-MEDIA'95 conference, the Annual World Conference on Educational Multi-and Hypermedia
that takes place in Europe every three years, this time in Graz, Austria, June 17-21,95. ED-MEDIA is a large conference
with some 250 contributions that you may be interested to
attend. If you want more information you can just send an email to
our mail server edmedia@iicm.tu-graz.ac.at or note the URL http://www.
iicm.tu-graz.ac.at/Cedmedia.
The two award winning papers are: "Bringing ITS to the Marketplace: A
Successful Experiment in Minimalistic Design" (best
student paper) and "Combining Concept Mapping and Adaptive Advice to Teach
Reading Comprehension" (best paper). We congratulate the award winning
author teams to their very nice papers and look forward to seeing them
in Graz!
Of the three remaining papers the one on "Special Cases of Division"
is also a novelty: it is the first paper that falls in to the category
"Survey of a particular special field".
The other two papers on the "Halting Probability Amplitude of Quantum
Computers" and "Modular Range Reduction: A New Algorithm for Fast and
Accurate Computation of the Elementary Functions" are two technical
papers of a more theoretical nature.
I hope you like what you see ... and are encouraged to submit papers yourself.
Springer is following J.UCS quite closely, is reasonably happy with how things
are going and has just agreed to advertise for J.UCS contributions. So, you
should see more about J.UCS also in conventional media in the near future.
All the best till April 28, when the next number of J.UCS appears.
Yours sincerely,
Hermann Maurer
