In this article, we show how the academic prototype LELIE, an intelligent authoring tool for technical texts, developed at IRIT, has been transferred to an industrial context. We first show how it has been customized to the norms and general practices of requirement authoring. We then show how LELIE for Requirements is adapted to the local context of specific companies, in terms of linguistic r...

Lower bounds for the error of quadrature formulas with positive weights are proved. We get intractability results for quasi-Monte Carlo methods and, more generally, for positive formulas. We consider general classes of functions but concentrate on lower bounds for relatively small classes of trigonometric polynomials. We also conjecture that similar lower bounds hold for arbitrary quadrature fo...

Research on the special relationship between the United States and Israel hasusually been focused on strategic aspects, whilst fewer scholars have focusedon non-material dimensions of the relationship. In addition, the existingresearch is mostly confined to the political and decision-making realms, withvery few excursions into the academic arena. The current article aims...

Serious incompatibility between work and family life among faculty is well known, and various work-family policies have become available to faculty. Due to the traditional academic work culture (e.g., the ideal worker norms and the individualism norms), however, these policies tend to be underused. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an academic work culture that is more supportive of faculty...
