Surprise, Surprise, Surprise! A Complexity Science View of the Unexpected
Health Care Management Review, 2003Surprise can emanate from two sources: lack of sufficient information or knowledge and the basic dynamics of complex adaptive systems. The authors expand the traditional view of surprise with a complexity perspective that makes it possible to ask new questions and to consider new ways of understanding the world around us.

Taken by surprise: The paradox of the surprise test revisited
Journal of Philosophical Logic, 1986This paper analyses the surprise exam paradox. It gives four formulations, each of which remedies what may be taken to be a defect in a prior formulation. In the final version, the information provided by the teacher turns out to be genuinely paradoxical (consistent and inconsistent).

CHI '13 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems, 2013
We explore the usefulness of time analytics based on activity log data created by a mixture of automatic activity tracking on a PC and manual time tracking (stop-watch functionality) for time management. For two weeks, 7 study participants used such computer-supported time tracking and reviewed their time use daily.

Surprise! Surprise! Learn and Adapt
International Joint Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent SystemsSelf-adaptive systems (SAS) adjust their behaviour at runtime in response to environmental changes, which are often unpredictable at design time. SAS must make decisions under uncertainty, balancing trade-offs between quality attributes (e.g. cost minimization vs. reliability maximization or energy consumption minimization vs. performance maximization),

The American Mathematical Monthly, 2000
An examination and solution of the optimization problems arising from an information theoretic avoidance of the "surprise examination" paradox is provided. The problems provide an application of the Kuhn-Tucker theory and various classical inequalities and estimation techniques.

“The Best Surprise Is No Surprise”
Space and Culture, 2005This essay explores the critical role of motels as markers of transition between idiosyncratic locales and homogenized chains. Toward that end, the essay expands on a newly proposed concept of omnitopia—an intersection of architectural design and human practice through which distinct places become nodes of a perpetual continuum—by focusing on the ...
