Expected Utility theory is not only applied to individual choices but also to ethical decisions, e.g. in cost-benefit analysis of climate change policy measures that affect future generations. In this context the crucial question arises whether EU theory is able to deal with ”catastrophic risks”, i.e. risks of high, but very unlikely losses, in an ethically appealing way. In this paper we show ...

As higher education struggles to catch up with the constantly shifting social climate, many modern students are being left overwhelmed by sheer volume of choices they offered in a phenomenon known as “tyranny freedom”. This issue is exacerbated when do not have appropriate guidance from either their parents or universities build own identity and find suitable position functi...

There are several robots and other devices which can now be controlled over the Internet. It is possible that an expansion of this concept ultimately leading to an Internet controlled factory could assist Australia overcome the 'tyranny' both of distance and of small production volumes. This paper discusses initial work being performed to investigate the relevance and practicality of the Intern...

Traditional requirements engineering approaches suffer from the tyranny of the dominant decomposition, with functional requirements serving as the base decomposition and non-functional requirements cutting across them. In this paper, we propose a model that decomposes requirements in a uniform fashion regardless of their functional or non-functional nature. This makes it possible to project any...

The author addresses himself to "all who work and plan for Cental health". He has been outstandingly successful in covering this wide field, both from the angles of mental defect and illness and also, very comprehensively, from that of prevention and the build-lr*g up of positive mental health. Readers in this country will be struck by the paucity of services for the mentally deficient and by t...

We report on an experience to support multiple views of programs to solve the tyranny of the dominant decomposition in a functional setting. We consider two possible architectures in Haskell for the classical example of the expression problem. We show how the Haskell Refactorer can be used to transform one view into the other, and the other way back. That transformation is automated and we disc...
