Research focus. In recent years, important steps have been made by the universities to gain focus and improve cooperation with regard to their research. Examples of these steps include the “focus and mass operations” in research and the formation of strategic alliances and other types of collaboration. Together, the universities and the State Secretary aim to consolidate and further improve the leading position of Dutch academic research in an international context. Maintaining this position is of crucial importance for the growth and competitiveness of this country. The research priority areas cover both the universities’ academic and societal profiles. The goal is for each university to become an international leader in at least one of these areas. To do so, universities need to precisely define their research profile, based on academic strengths. This is essential to maintain their high positions in university rankings. When establishing these agreements, universities will consider their own profile, academic strengths, social challenges, grand challenges and the innovation contracts within the framework of the government’s priority sector policy. In doing so they will also account for the allocation of funds for infrastructure and ICT by the NWO and the funds reserved in the Strategic Agenda for arts and social sciences (Canada agreement), for the sector plans for humanities, physics and chemistry and for the top research schools, and the funds reserved in indirect government funding for the priority sectors. The universities will identify the research areas they intend to focus on in the coming years and the areas that they will discontinue. They will also state their intentions with regard to collaborations with other universities, possibly within the context of regional alliances, and with research institutes of the NWO and KNAW, other knowledge institutions and companies.

Research focus. This paper address the research question, stated in the previous section, empirically by evaluating if a set of classifiers are assigning the right classification and thus agreeing. The evaluation is a formative evaluation with the overall intention to form the process of correctly classifying faults [Robson00]. In the same time as addressing the research question additional empirical knowledge is gathered through a questionnaire aiming at two areas: • After completing the classification, the classifiers are asked to answer questions related to the classification. The questions are concerned with: type of information needed to increase the likelihood of correctly classifying faults, issues related to the environment and classification of faults in retrospect, and appreciation and other issues related to ODC. • What are the recommended improvements of the study design and preparation prior to the industry evaluation? The remainder of this paper is organized as follows. Section 2 presents related work and Section 3 presents the method used in the study. In Section 4, the outcome of the study is presented, and in Section 5, the analysis of the results is discussed. Section 6 presents the conclusions, and Section 7 describes further work.

Research focus. The collaboration’s research focus is in the general area of systems assurance. To us this means the use of information technology to xxxxxx trusted communication. Communication here could involve anything from the design of machine to machine protocols to the development of procedures for design of a digital library in such a way as to ensure that access satisfies formally pre-specified constraints with regard to integrity, safety, and reliability. During the April visit, researchers spent about thirty per cent of their time learning to use a publicly available computer language tool, HOL (Higher Order Logic). The notion here is to specify conditions under which a set of communications can be termed ‘trusted’ and to then use HOL to prove, if possible, that a particular communications regime satisfies those conditions. SU Xxxx. Xxxx Xxx Xxxx led the HOL efforts. The use of HOL was desirable for several reasons. First, it is consistent with the overall research emphasis on systems assurance. Second, HOL uses computer language concepts already familiar to DPRK and SU researchers. Third, HOL is publicly available and thus does not create special difficulties with regard to the export restrictions presently in place in the US against the DPRK.* The formal base of HOL makes it a useful tool for collaboration-at- a-distance. Assuming similar lab facilities at KUT and SU, researchers can monitor progress and move between the two institutions with minimal disruption to their ongoing research. The focus on HOL had the side-effect of exposing the view, shared among the SU and KUT researchers, of the centrality of formal methods to computer science. Finally, the present lack of Internet communications between SU and KUT means that the ability to communicate research progress in a compact formal manner is extremely valuable. * In this context it should be noted that the entire April program was reviewed by attorneys for SU to ensure compliance with US law. The program was also reviewed by the DPRK Mission together with KUT researchers prior to the arrival of the KUT delegation. Another twenty per cent of the time was devoted to discussing issues relating to the digital library being developed at KUT. Issues of interest here included everything from hardware architectures to international standards for data sharing and cataloging. It is likely that digital libraries will continue to be a strong area of research collaboration. A central objective of the research collabo...

Research focus. The main research activities of the group concern problems in the field of pattern recognition, automatic signal interpretation, cognitive systems, and computer vision. A considerable amount of the research efforts are carried out within the Collaborative Research Center `Situated Artificial Communicators' which is to model the ability of a human being to understand visual and acoustic information, to speak, and to plan and execute actions. To fulfil the requirements of this demanding project statistical and knowledge-based methods are combined in a hybrid system. Especially techniques for object recognition, modelling of mechanical assemblies, qualitative modelling of spatial relations, recognition of manipulation actions, integration of speech and vision processing using a probabilistic reasoning calculus, and architectures for large distributed pattern analysis systems are developed. A further focus of research is concerned with the development of techniques for the intelligent navigation in digital image databases. In order to formulate the database queries on a natural way, multimodal interaction by gesture, speech, and keybord/mouse is investigated. Besides the low-level vision tasks we concentrate on intelligent strategies which dynamically learn from the user's feedback the relevant aspects of the current and future queries. In addition we work with mosaic images to provide a compact representation for scene exploration. Our research is primarily focused on developing appropriate algorithms and heuristics for generating mosaics and suitable data structures for representing them. The experience gained from building complex artificial communicators, developing intelligent retrieval systems, and working with mosaic images can directly be used for the proposed project. Further research activities in our group are the development of spoken language dialogue systems, video-based handwriting recognition, the analysis of biological images, and flexible protein docking. In addition to these projects several cooperations with industrial partners in the fields of image databases (DTS GmbH), content-based image retrieval (XXXX OPEL AG, Infineon Technologies AG, Honda Research & Development Europe), mobile internet services (Bertelsmann AG), image analysis (DaimlerChrysler AG), analysis of nuclear magnetic resonance spectra (BASF AG), analysis of microarray images (Epigenomics GmbH), and man machine interaction (Xxxxxx Datentechnik) are being pursued.

Research focus. The focus of research is the center of attention intending to limit the problems studied in order to avoid refraction in perceiving and assessing the problems examined. As stated by Moleong (2007: 7) that qualitative research requires the establishment of a limit in the focus of research on the basis of which arise as a problem in the study. This is due to several things: first, determine the limits of the double reality that then sharpen the focus. Second, the establishment can focus more closely linked by the interaction between research and focus. If the focus of research has determined it will be easy for researchers to find the data and the conclusion of the research conducted. With the description above the research focus are: 1. Implementation of Adiwiyata program based on the local government and private partnerships in Malang City, including: a. Roles and duties of each stakeholder in Implementation of Adiwiyata Program b.
