Complex networks derived from cellular automata

We propose a method for deriving networks from one-dimensional binary cellular automata. The derived networks are usually directed and have structural properties corresponding to the dynamical behaviors of their cellular automata. Network parameters, particularly the efficiency and the degree distribution, show that the dependence of efficiency on the grid size is characteristic and can be used to classify cellular automata and that derived networks exhibit various degree distributions. In particular, a class IV rule of Wolfram's classification produces a network having a scale-free distribution.Comment: 10 pages, 8 figure

Consideration of building a common platform of collaborative learning environment

This paper reports on considerations about a common and basic functions/components for building a collaborative learning environment. We make efforts to specify the technological issues towards the future standardization of this environment through our research experiences. The problem of standardization includes many embarrassed aspects, however it will extend and widen the field of applications possible within the collaborative learning paradigm, and will make possible the usage of the fruits of years of research and individual implementations of the concept of collaborative learning, from many researches, developments and experiences. So we would like to locate this problem as building a common platform

Cunningham Children's Home Supported Education and Employment for Older Youth in Care

A collaboration of the University of Illinois School of Social Work/Children and Family Research Center and Cunningham Children's Home, the research described in this report analyzes empirically the status of Cunningham's existing vocational programming for foster children and youth. Data reported here primarily come from a survey of 58 Cunningham clients, supplemented by focus group data from a smaller group of Cunningham clients and information on occupational interest from a commercial computer-based career planning program (Career Cruising) used by Cunningham youth. Initially, researchers also planned to develop a supported education/employment pilot model designed to serve the specific population of foster children and youth. However, findings from the research suggest the need for a structure and curriculum more compatible with currently accepted models in community mental health and adult education than with the resources and supports available in a largely residential program like Cunningham. This represents a significant barrier to quick implementation of supported education/employment for the foster population, and so development of the pilot model has been deferred. Meanwhile, the authors have incorporated findings from this study into the Children and Family Research Center's ongoing research agenda on transitioning foster youth, expecting these results will continue to inform both research and practice supporting the progress of these young people toward successful adulthood
