Recognizing the importance of variety synchronization in mass customization, this paper proposes to develop a product-process platform to address variety issues in design and production. A product-process platform consists of a generic product-process structure and the derivation of individual products and the corresponding processes. Two generic structures, including a generic product structur...

Java generic types allow a programmer to create parameterized data structures and methods. For instance, a generic Stack type may be used for integers in one instance and for strings in another. Java compiler guarantees in this case that integers and strings are not mixed in the same stack. We study runtime efficiency of a certain inheritance pattern related to Java generic types: narrowing of ...

Adaptive Hypermedia Systems (AHS) have long been mostly domainor application-specific systems. Existing reference models provide domain-independent high-level descriptions of AHS. They focus on abstract data structures and only briefly describe the adaptation process in a generic way. In this paper we consider the process aspects of AHS from the very first classical user modelling-adaptation lo...

This paper is in line with the previous publication on the powdery mildew fungi from Gilan province (Iran). This part deals with two new species to Iran and provides some information on the distribution, host range and morphology of a few other. For generic identification, the authors have followed the generic concepts that have recently been introducd by BRAUN (1999) and BRAUN  and TAKAMATSU (...

We answer some questions from [4] by giving suitable examples of small Polish structures. First, we present a class of small Polish group structures without generic elements. Next, we construct a first example of a small nonzero-dimensional Polish G-group.

This paper develops a uniform approach toward such nested structures through converting these data structures into lists of tuples with depth information. Generic parallel computation schemes like reduce and accumulation are analyzed using the parallelization techniques over lists. We demonstrate its expressiveness and efficacy using a class of optimization problems called maximum marking probl...

This paper proposes a generic mathematical formalism for the combination of various structures: strings, trees, dags, graphs and products of them. The polarization of the objects of the elementary structures controls the saturation of the final structure. This formalism is both elementary and powerful enough to strongly simulate many grammar formalisms, such as rewriting systems, dependency gra...

A nomenclature for phallic structures of members of the family Gryllotalpidae is proposed. Genital structures of the main genera of mole crickets are described, discussing the relationships among subfamilies and their generic delimitation. A key is provided for separation of genera based on genitalia structure. Finally, parthenogenesis in genus Gryllotalpella is recorded for the first time.
