All real-time embedded software projects eventually hit the wall when they trade elegance for efficiency. The major recipient of the blame is often ’that darn tasking’ or ’those silly OO concepts’. The actual culprit, unknowingly, is the front line software engineer. This paper is a group of test cases that can be applied to compiler to give direction to the developers as to the performance of ...

We present a language, MEADOW, for specifying dynamic networks from a structural viewpoint. We demonstrate MEADOW in three examples addressing dynamic reconfiguration in the setting of object-oriented networks, ad hoc networks and mobile code networks. MEADOW is more expressive than any language of this kind (e.g. SDL-2000 agent diagrams, composite structures in UML 2.0) that we are aware of, b...

When lu Wenfu, a contemporary writer, began to write novels in the 1950s, he set his foot suzhou, an ancient and deep modern city. His focus on characters suzhou’s alleys, winding quiet with most ordinary people as protagonist, so is called “Lu Suzhou”. “Wunong Soft language” one of Wenfu’s ways expressing regional culture Suzhou, soft just symbol suzhou people’s elegance gentleness. The wu dia...

The increasing popularity of game modeling in international relations theory has fostered a tendency toward theoretical elegance to the detriment of empirical concerns. In this article attention is focused on the empirical implications of a series of choices that users of game theory must make when they model social interactions. In particular, possible tradeoffs between theoretical complexity ...

elegance. Although much more precision could be added to the system, it is doubtful whether the purely qualitative aspects could ever be removed. The shape of the generating curve, for example, is generally irregular enough to greatly hinder mathematical description. Furthermore, the complete generating curve, as a closed curve, can rarely be seen, and thus its position relative to the axis of ...

Modern science developed within a culture of Judeo-Christian theism, and science and theism have generally supported each other. However, there are certainly areas in both science and religion that puzzle me. Here I outline some puzzles that have arisen for me concerning everlasting life, human free will, divine free will, the simplicity and probability of God, the problem of evil, and the conv...

The use of a single grammar in natural language parsing and generation is most desirable for variety of reasons including efficiency, perspicuity, integrity, robusthess, and a certain ,amount of elegance. In this paper we present an algorithm for automated inversion of a PROLOG-coded unification parser into an efficient unification generator, using the collections of minimal sets of essential a...

We give arguments explaining why, when adopting a minimalist approach to constructive mathematics as that formalized in our two-level minimalist foundation, the choice for a pointfree approach to topology is not just a matter of convenience or mathematical elegance, but becomes compulsory. The main reason is that in our foundation real numbers, either as Dedekind cuts or as Cauchy sequences, do...
