We describe a system for constructing computer models of several aspects of physical interaction behavior, by scanning the response of real objects.
CCARH conducts research on constructing computer databases for music, and on creating programs that allow researchers to access, analyze, print, and electronically perform the music.
The scene is similar to the pre-internet days of the 1960s and 1970s, says Thomas Hardjono of MIT's connection science program, when there were several separate technical approaches to constructing computer networks.
Even if we could construct computers with enough memory to store decades' worth of conversations, novels, meals and lectures, no one has figured out how to teach a machine to catalogue and access those memories quickly.
It seems reasonable to assume that more-complex knowledge, such as knowledge of quantum physics or the knowledge required to construct computers and space shuttles, takes longer to acquire and has greater scope for copying error than earlier knowledge, such as knowledge of Newtonian physics or the knowledge required to construct stone tools.
Cryptographers have constructed computer systems that could quickly crack DES messages.
This is possible because traditional methods of mathematical analysis are replaced by specially constructed computer algorithms.
This has not stopped systems biologists from discussing how they might construct computer models of the entire cell.
It is also possible to construct computer models of clusters based on quantum mechanics instead of Newton's classical mechanics.
Climate and Earth system modelling is the use of mathematical representations of key components and properties of the atmosphere, ocean and biosphere to construct computer models.
In doing so, they have also found that the program allows them to construct computer-generated faces that display the most trustworthy or dominant faces possible.
