The article presents Slovenian dialect names for cutlery used in eating or preparing food – spoon, knife and fork, from a geolinguistic, word-formational as well etymological semantic-motivational perspective. ethnological framework serves particular to present the reasons (non-)borrowing of lexemes. It turns out that terms spoon are not diverse point view borrowing, since denotata have been us...

Information systems are reactive systems with a database. For their specification and design, concepts from conceptual data modeling and concurrent processes are relevant. In this paper, we outline a unifying theory borrowing ideas from these approaches and from abstract data type theory. Our approach utilizes a variant of temporal logic. It has been used to give a formal semantics for TROLL, t...

we deal with a wide range of colors in our daily life. they are such ubiquitous phenomena that is hard and next to impossible to imagine even a single entity (be it an object, place, living creature, etc) devoid of them. they are like death and tax which nobody can dispense with. this omnipresence of colors around us has also made its way through abstract and less tangible entities via the inte...

We present an algebra for programming the itineraries of mobile agents. The algebra contains operators for modelling sequential, parallel, nondeterministic, and conditional mobility behaviour. Iterative behaviour is also modelled by a language of regular itineraries borrowing ideas from regular expressions. We give an operational semantics for the operators using Plotkin-style transition rules ...

We formulate and study the requirement on an allocation rule that no agent should be able to benefit by augmenting his endowment through borrowing resources from the outside world (alternatively, by simply exaggerating it). We show that the Walrasian rule is not “borrowing-proof” even on standard domains. More seriously, no efficient selection from the endowments-lower-bound correspondence, or ...

This paper presents language learners as social networkers and describes and discusses the types of users that can be identified by analysing the content created by them using a situated mobile language learning app, LingoBee, based on the idea of crowd sourcing. Borrowing ideas from other studies conducted on social network users, we can identify that language learners use LingoBee as a social...
