Afterword: Please Mind the Gap between Theatre and Philosophy

The historical gulf and frequent antipathy between the practitioners of theatre and philosophy has been well documented. This article seeks to establish a framework for combining the two subjects that, rather than denying the gap between them, looks to that gap as a productive space. The first part of the article sketches a brief history of the engagement of the two disciplines, from Plato to c...

Please mind the gap between intra- and inter-chassis parallelism! (and how it can be closed)

Programming abstractions to simplify distributed parallel computing have been widely adopted. Yet, intrachassis parallelism remains regarded as challenging, despite its often compelling performance advantages over distribution. We believe that—especially in the face of increasing architectural diversity inside the chassis [3]—benefits are to be had from programming a single machine using abstra...

Please Mind the Gap: Axonal Transport Deficits in Multiple Sclerosis Neurodegeneration

In this issue, Sorbara et al. (2014) demonstrate that axonal transport impairment is an early feature of neurodegeneration in multiple sclerosis models. This transport deficit is reversible by anti-inflammatory intervention but, if untreated, can contribute to late-stage axonal dystrophy.

Mind the (Intelligibility) Gap

Intelligibility, evolution and emulation are some of the key notions for digital information preservation. In this paper we define formally these notions on the basis of modules and inter-module dependencies. Subsequently, we discuss how we can handle the evolution of modules and dependencies. This work can be exploited for building advanced preservation information systems and registries.
