High Performance Computing architectures have become incredibly complex and exploiting their full potential is becoming more and more challenging. As a consequence, automatic performance tuning (autotuning) of HPC applications is of growing interest and many research groups around the world are currently involved. Autotuning is still a rapidly evolving research field with many different approaches being taken. This special issue features selected papers presented at the Dagstuhl seminar on “Automatic Application Tuning for HPC Architectures” in October 2013, which brought together researchers from the areas of autotuning and performance analysis in order to exchange ideas and steer future collaborations.

This special issue was conceived during the 11th Annual Conference of Prognostic and Health Management Society’s Panel session on the September 25th at Scottsdale, AZ, USA. We would like to thank the panel members and their colleagues in their participation in this special issue focusing on engineered technologies for older adults. This work was partially funded by the NSF ERC seed grant from an interdisciplinary group of researchers from Iowa State University, Arizona State University, Georgia Tech, Florida State University, Chapman University and the University of California Irvine who are engaged in developing a large-scale grant proposal that will be focused on integrated technologies to promote resilient aging and reducing healthcare costs.The manuscripts exemplify our research focus and illustrates contributions in the fields of wearable smart sensors, sensor-data-fusion, machine learning and data mining, prediction and diagnosis, and electronic health records and databases - all in the context of prognostics and health management for human health and performance.We would like to thank the PHM Society for providing an opportunity to publish in their premier journal, and importantly, we are grateful for help of the Editor-in-Chief – Marcos Orchard, Ph.D. for his countless hours to edit and make it best possible of this special issue. Finally, we would like to express sincere appreciation to all the reviewers who have contributed their time and thoughtful feedback to making this special issue publication a success.

Educational gerontology is a comparatively new field of study. In British terminology, it concerns learning in the later years and the methodology relating to this. This special issue of the American journal Educational Gerontology provides an opportunity for reflection on the current state of the art on both sides of the Atlantic. Huey B. Long of the University of Oklahoma, as Guest Editor, invited contributors (eight American and one British) to speculate on likely developments in the field of educational gerontology during the period 1990 to 2010. Not all the authors accepted the challenge and four of the nine papers are considered here.

AbstractThis paper introduces the special issue “Advances in Implemented Shape Grammars: Solutions and Applications” and frames the topic of computer implementations of shape grammars, both with a theoretical and an applied focus. This special issue focuses on the current state of the art regarding computer implementations of shape grammars and brings a discussion about how those systems can evolve in the coming years so that they can be used in real life design scenarios. This paper presents a brief state of the art of shape grammars implementation and an overview of the papers included in the current special issue categorized under technical design, interpreters and interface design, and uses cases. The paper ends with a comprehensive outlook into the future of shape grammars implementations.

The articles in the special issue are reviewed within the context of current trends and the state of the art in prison classification systems. A paradigm shift is noted to be occurring within the field, wherein the medical model is being abandoned for a multipurpose model of classification. The purposes are understanding, prediction, management, and treatment. Each of these purposes is discussed with special emphasis on problems inherent in the prediction model when used in isolation. Implications of the paradigm shift are discussed in terms of the future of psychologists' roles within corrections.

The Future

This introduction argues that the field of memory studies needs to pay more attention to the role of joyful and positive types of memory. Quoting recent discussions, we propose that the dominant focus on traumatic and dark pasts within memory studies carries the risks that the research field ignores important aspects of collective memory and eclipses group memories that differ from societies’ hegemonic discourse about the past. Contemporary societies also need positive or hopeful memories in order to create alternative imaginaries for the future. This special issue sets out to explore what memories of joy may look like and how they can be studied.

Computational electromagnetics for design optimisation: the state of the art and conjectures for the futureThe paper reviews the state of the art in modern field simulation techniques available to assist in the design and performance prediction of electromechanical and electromagnetic devices. Commercial software packages, usually exploiting finite element and/or related techniques, provide advanced and reliable tools for every-day use in the design office. At the same time Computational Electromagnetics continues to be a thriving area of research with emerging new techniques and methods, in particular for multi-physics applications and in the area of multi-objective optimisation.
