AGATE: Unifying Languages and Operating Systems

Silica (agate-jasper) mineralization in the Chah Andoo plain, SW Damqan by Micro-Raman spectroscopy

The Chah Andoo plain is located about 100 km SW Damqan in Semnan Province. Basalt, andesite-basalt, tuff and metamorphic rocks are the main rocks which exposed in the study area. Agate, jasper and agate–jasper are silica minerals widespread at the plain surface as crushed fragments from a few millimeters to 0.5 meter in dimension. Banded (mono centric), stalactite (landscape), mossy and thunder...

Universal Grammar and Chaos/Complexity Theory: Where Do They Meet And Where Do They Cross?

  Abstract The present study begins by sketching "Chaos/Complexity Theory" (C/CT) and its applica-tion to the nature of language and language acquisition. Then, the theory of "Universal Grammar" (UG) is explicated with an eye to C/CT. Firstly, it is revealed that CCT may or may not be allied with a theory of language acquisition that takes UG as the initial state of language acquisition for ...

Data Modelling Languages: An Ontological Study

There are many data modelling languages used in today’s information systems engineering environment. Some of the data modelling languages used have a degree of hype surrounding their quality and applicability. We would like to understand exactly what makes some data modelling languages successful and in some way suggest how useful data modelling languages will be in the context of an organisati...

Towards an executable semantics of automobile RTOS standard and its application to conformance verification

The automobile Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) is hard to design and implement due to its real time features and increasing complexity. Some automobile RTOS standards are released aiming at unifying the software architecture of vehicle systems. Most of the standards are presented informally in natural languages, which may lead to not only ambiguities in specifications but also difficulties in...
