Plenary talk - Stellar pulsation: an overview

8 - Stellar Pulsation and Oscillation

That some stars vary in brightness has been known from time immemorial. That this variation is the result of intrinsic changes in the star itself has been known for less than 100 years and the causes of those variations have been understood for less than 30 years. It is not a simple matter to distinguish the light variations resulting from eclipses by a companion from those caused by physical c...

Programs, like people, get old. We can’t prevent aging, but we can understand its causes, take steps to limits its effects, temporarily reverse some of the damage it has caused, and prepare for the day when the software is no longer viable.

Plenary Talk (sponsored by G.tec)

In our previous study, it was shown that the direction of asymmetry for bilateral transfer is measurement dependent. This study aimed to gain more insight into the relationship among the measures of movement duration, trajectory length, initial direction, duration of corrective movements, and movement smoothness. Subjects were required to make point-topoint drawing movements while adapting to a...

On Formal Requirements Modeling Languages: RML Revisited Invited Plenary Talk

Research issues related to requirements modeling are introduced and discussed through a review of the requirements modeling language RML, its peers and its successors from the time it was first proposed at the Sixth International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE-6) to the present—ten ICSEs later. We note that the central theme of “Capturing More World Knowledge” in the original RML prop...
