Argentina, materials research

It is our goal in this book to address the problems, introduced earlier, that arise in a general data reconciliation problem. It is the culmination of several years of research and implementation of data reconciliation aspects in Argentina, the United States, and Australia. It is designed to provide a simple, smooth, and readable account of all aspects involved in data classification and reconciliation, while providing the interested reader with material, problems, and directions for further study.
