Semat (Software Engineering Method and Theory) is an initiative that allows representing common practices of existing methodologies by its core elements, which are described in terms of a language. This language has a graphical and a textual syntax. The textual syntax is described using meta-language EBNF (Extended Backus-Naur Form), which is used as context-free grammar notation to describe a ...

Objective: Trauma is a disease of modern societies and one of the reasons for the deaths of all ages in those societies. It is estimated that each year about 8.5 million people worldwide lose their lives as a result of trauma. Among the types of injuri...

JoCaml is a language for concurrent and distributed programming. We here present a non-trival distributed application written in JoCaml: a ray tracer. Thereby, we show how to program the coordination of multiple cooperating agents in a concise manner, in the spirit of functional programming. We also adress the issue of agent failure. Key-words: concurrency, distributed programming, programming ...

In recent digital library systems or World Wide Web environment, parallel corpora are used by many applications (Natural Language Processing, machine translation, terminology extraction, etc.). This paper presents a new cross-language information retrieval model based on the language modeling. The model avoids query and/or document translation or the use of external resources. It proposes a str...

We defend that bilingual lexicons automatically extracted from parallel corpora, whose entries have been meanwhile validated by linguists and classified as correct or incorrect, should constitute a specific parallel corpora. And, in this paper, we propose to use word-to-word translations to learn morph-units (comprising of bilingual stems and suffixes) from those bilingual lexicons for two lang...

Humanizing language learning materials helps language teachers to design activities that are linked to learn- ers’ lives and experiences. This can result in higher motivation and engagement in the process of foreign language learning. Self-determination theory-based instruction enhances learners’ engagement and motiva- tion through supporting the basic psychological needs for autonomy, competen...
