The Integrated Publication and Information Systems Institute (IPSI) is one of the eight institutes of the GMD German National Research Center for Information Technology. GMD is owned by the German Federal Ministry of Education, Science, Research and Technology (BMBF) and the Federal states Hesse and North Rhine-Westphalia. IPSI's mission is the development and evaluation of concepts, foundation...

Simple proofs are provided for two properties of a new multivariate polynomial interpolation scheme, due to Amos Ron and the author, and a formula for the interpolation error is derived and discussed.

As one of its ideologues, Amos Bronson Alcott constitutes the most relevant figures Transcendentalism or American Romanticism. Confronted with radical changes times he was living in, will come up his daring proposals in realm education. The objective this article is to place Alcott’s reformation drive within philosophical context and reveal singular position. Self-awareness, perspective nature,...

In this paper an activity-based travel-demand model called AMOS is described. The model system is capable of simulating changes in individual activity and travel behavior that may be brought about by a change in the transportation system. These simulations may then be used to predict the impacts of various transportation policies on regionwide travel characteristics. A rule-based activityschedu...

Telecommunications Management Network (TMN) systems use the object-oriented information modelling techniques and communication facilities provided by OSI Systems Management (SM). TMN interfaces are specified in terms of rather passive Managed Objects (MOs) with prespecified behaviour. In this paper, we propose the concept of Active Managed Objects (AMOs) as the means to specify and express arbi...

Although the recognition of organizational and human resource related processes as inherently social has long been recognized and studied, they are often not studied together. Given the social processes that directly and significantly predict the formation of social networks, our understanding of these areas is underdeveloped. Therefore, a research model is proposed in this study to relate orga...

Although most philosophical accounts about model/world relations focus on structural mappings such as isomorphism, similarity has long been discussed as an alternative account. Despite its attractions, proponents of the similarity view have not provided detailed accounts of what it means that a model is similar to a realworld target system. This article gives the outlines of such an account, dr...
