Der vorliegende Beitrag beschreibt einen partizipativen Ansatz zur Entwicklung von digitalen Diensten für ländliche Regionen. Im Projekt „Digitale Dörfer“ realisiert das Projektteam gemeinsam mit den Einwohnern von drei Verbandsgemeinden in Rheinland-Pfalz verschiedene Mitmachszenarien zur Stärkung des Wir-Gefühls innerhalb der Gemeinschaft und zur Verbesserung der Nahversorgung durch örtlich a...

There has been a growing awareness of deep relations between software and knowledge. Software, from an efficiency oriented way to program computing machines, gradually converged to human oriented Runnable Knowledge. Apparently this has happened unintentionally, but knowledge is not incidental to software. The basic thesis: runnable knowledge is the essence of abstract software. A knowledge dist...

Abstract thinking is a vital skill when learning computer science. Object technology and the concepts it is based upon make this skill even more crucial. However, previous research works show that students in top universities as well as experienced practitioners in industry encounter difficulties in thinking in abstract terms while practicing object oriented development. In this paper we sugges...

The need to organize, analyze and extract information present in industry of the Santa Catarina enabling a competitiveness and prominent position has been the basis of several studies. However, these demands can generate significant gains when analyzed by the context observatories, where it is responsible for monitoring actions, tasks and factors that directly impact the industry, enabling a fu...

This article outlines the description, from Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's Vedic Psychology, of experience of the Ved — the perception, within the simplest form of human awareness, of the self-interacting dynamics of the unified field, the field of pure consciousness or cosmic psyche. This realization is described by Maharishi as developing through increasingly refined experience of the field of pure ...

Através do estudo de modelos conceituais de ferramentas utilizadas na Ciência da Informação e na Ciência da Computação, este trabalho objetiva analisar, de forma comparativa, os elementos semelhantes entre os modelos conceituais utilizados na construção de tesauros conceituais e de ontologias de fundamentação, a partir de um modelo de agregação proposto na literatura de Ciência da Informação. R...

Urinalysis (i.e. laboratory test of urine) provides information about patient’s health conditions based on the contents present in a urine sample. A key factor to guarantee the quality of the test, it is arranging urinary findings in a clinical context. Aiming to support the task, it was proposed an ontological model for Urinary Profiles (i.e. recurrent characteristics of urine that help in con...

Generalized Quasilinearization Method for Coincidences Adriana Buică and Radu Precup Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science Babeş-Bolyai University 3400 Cluj, Romania [email protected], [email protected] Abstract An abstract unified theory of both monotone iterative and generalized quasilinearization methods is presented for operator equations of coincidence type in ordered Ban...

We present a dynamic comparison-based search structure that supports insertions, deletions, and searches within the unified bound. The unified bound specifies that it is quick to access an element that is near a recently accessed element. More precisely, if w(y) distinct elements have been accessed since the last access to element y, and d(x, y) denotes the rank distance between x and y among t...
