The Transregional Collaborative Research Center AVACS integrates the three sites Freiburg, Oldenburg, and Saarbrücken, and addresses the challenge of pushing the borderline for automatic verification and analysis of complex systems. A particular focus of the project is on models of complex transportation systems and their safety requirements. AVACS is organized in ten subprojects, each teaming researchers from all sites, and is funded by the German Science Foundation since January 1, 2004. This article surveys scope, organization, and research directions of AVACS, including pointers to key publications.

Insight Into

This paper gives an overview of the current and forthcoming research projects of the Collaborative Research Center 588 "Humanoid Robots — Learning and Cooperating Multimodal Robots." The activities can be divided into several areas: development of mechatronic components and construction of a demonstrator system, perception of user and environment, modeling and simulation of robots, environment and user, and finally cooperation and learning. The research activities in each of these areas are described in detail. Finally, we give an insight into the application scenario of our robot system, i.e. the training setup and the experimental setup "household."

The concepts of expectation, anomaly, and unexpectedness that Philip J. Deloria developed in Indians in Unexpected Places (2004) have shaped a wide range of interdisciplinary research projects. In the process, those terms have changed the ways it is possible to think about American Indian representation, cosmopolitanism, and agency. This article revisits my own work in this area and provides a short survey of related scholarship in order to reassess the concept of unexpectedness in the present moment and to consider the ways my deployment of it might change in order to better meet the needs of my students. To begin a process of engaging intergenerational perspectives on this subject, the article concludes with an interview with Dr. Jacob E. Perea, dean emeritus of the Graduate College of Education at San Francisco State University and a veteran of the 1969 student strikes that founded the College of Ethnic Studies at San Francisco State University.
