The notion of agency is central to the study of software process. Software development processes are enacted by agents, represent agents, and ultimately, must be capable of guiding human agents. This paper explores the use of the term “agent” in software engineering, and advocates a systematic study of this notion in the context of software process technology. In particular, the paper proposes ...

The main theme of this paper is culture justice, which is the new paradigm of culture development in the 21 century. The 21 century is characterized primarily by globalization and by the rapid development of science and technology. Confronted by the opportunities and challenges offered by these changes, different countries and people with different cultural traditions will make important judgme...

heart. Margaret was not left in doubt about the risks, benefits and responsibilities of the rational, male education she was receiving. Her learning was to be of purely private benefit. She was warned not to pursue her academic interests to the detriment of those domestic duties for which nature had providentially formed her, or to reveal the extent of her learning to female friends or "ignoran...

CCIV112 Three Great Myths: Prometheus, Persephone, and Dionysus This course is a detailed analysis of three important myths from classical antiquity, the stories of Prometheus, Persephone, and Dionysus. We will examine both literary and visual representations from antiquity. We will also consider how these myths live on in the Western tradition. Offering: Host Grading: OPT Credits: 1.00 Gen Ed ...

Using the CLASH-VLT survey, we assembled an unprecedented sample of 1234 spectroscopically confirmed members in Abell~S1063, finding a dynamically complex structure at z_cl=0.3457 with velocity dispersion \sigma_v=1380 -32 +26 km s^-1. We investigate cluster environmental and dynamical effects by analysing projected phase-space diagram orbits as function galaxy spectral properties. classify gal...

Building Information Modeling (BIM) has recently attained widespread attention in the AEC/FM (Architectural, Engineering and Construction/ Facilities Management) industry. However, the adoption of BIM is under expectation. Clash detection is critical for adopting BIM, because it is the main part to use for calculating for ROI (return of investment). At the same time, efficiency problem arises i...

We developed an algorithm to find and characterize gravitationally lensed galaxies (arcs) to perform a comparison of the observed and simulated arc abundance. Observations are from the Cluster Lensing And Supernova survey with Hubble (CLASH). Simulated CLASH images are created using the MOKA package and also clusters selected from the high-resolution, hydrodynamical simulations, MUSIC, over the...
