How are numerical operations implemented within the human brain? It has been suggested that there are at least three different codes for representing number: a verbal code that is used to manipulate number words and perform mental numerical operations (e.g., multiplication), a visual code that is used to decode frequently used visual number forms (e.g., Arabic digits), and an abstract analog co...

We report on S2A, a compiler that translates Modal UML Sequence Diagrams (MSDs), a UML-compliant version of Live Sequence Charts (LSCs), into AspectJ code. It thus provides full code generation of reactive behavior from visual inter-object scenario-based specifications. The S2A compiler is based on a compilation scheme presented by Maoz and Harel in [13].

White noise techniques are used to compare the two photoreceptor sub-types in blowfly retina, the short visual fibres (R1-6) that code achromatic contrast, and the long visual fibres (R7 and R8) that together code wavelength distribution and polarisation plane. Measurements of signal and noise spectra and contrast gain, taken across a broad intensity range, permit a detailed comparison of codin...

With the launch of Visual Studio 2005, developers got a modelling tool which produces class diagrams from the code or generates code from diagrams. At first sight it hardly varies from UML class diagrams. Besides presenting Class Designer I will show that this difference stems from different software development strategies.

AI-Driven Development Environments (AIDEs) Integrate the power of modern AI into IDEs like Visual Studio Code and JetBrains IntelliJ. By leveraging massive language models plethora openly available source code, AIDEs promise to automate many obvious, routine tasks in programming. At same time, come with new challenges think about, such as bias, legal compliance, security vulnerabilities, their ...
