How will Gregory find his way back to Dad? Swish-swoosh . . . Gregory draws a lion in the sand. "Don't go in the water, and don't leave Sandy," warns Dad. But the sandy lion grows a tail that gets longer and longer—and soon Gregory is lost on the beach. This wonderful read-aloud book brings to life a summer experience that is all too familiar for young children. Karen Williams's rhythmic text has been paired with Floyd Cooper's brilliant illustrations, revealing the trip down the beach entirely from a child's point of view. A gentle father-son bond is shown in both text and art, reassuring young readers even as they share in Greg's moment of worry at finding himself lost and alone.

This volume contains papers accepted for presentation at the Fifteenth Conference on Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence (UAI99) held at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm, Sweden from July 30 through August 1, 1999. This conference continues a 15-year tradition of providing an international forum for exchange of ideas on problems of reasoning, under uncertainty. During those 15 years, UAI has moved from a little-noticed niche at the edge of the field, solidly into the mainstream of artificial intelligence research and practice. Research first presented at UAI has contributed significantly to advances in a number of related fields and has found application in a wide variety of domains. The UAI conference has acquired a reputation for excellence, and the proceedings have become an important reference source for high-quality work in the field.
In science, business, and policymaking -- anywhere data are used in prediction -- two sorts of problems requiring very different methods of analysis often arise. The first, problems of recognition and classification, concerns learning how to use some features of a system to accurately predict other features of that system. The second, problems of causal discovery, concerns learning how to predict those changes to some features of a system that will result if an intervention changes other features. This book is about the second -- much more difficult -- type of problem. Typical problems of causal discovery are: How will a change in commission rates affect the total sales of a company? How wil...
"The Encyclopedia of Microcomputers serves as the ideal companion reference to the popular Encyclopedia of Computer Science and Technology. Now in its 10th year of publication, this timely reference work details the broad spectrum of microcomputer technology, including microcomputer history; explains and illustrates the use of microcomputers throughout academe, business, government, and society in general; and assesses the future impact of this rapidly changing technology."
