Awareness of application performance can be derived through various quantitative analyses, model-based and measurement-based approaches. A suitable visualization supports the understanding of application performance. Usually, analysis tools include a tool specific visualization or no visualization at all. In this paper we proposed to decouple the result visualization from the analysis approach....

In the first decades of the twentieth century, a group of doctors under the banner of the social hygiene movement set out on what seemed an improbable mission: to convince American men that they did not need sex. This was in part a response to venereal disease. Persuading young men to adopt the standard of sexual discipline demanded of women was the key to preserving the health of the nation fr...

authentication and identity on the Internet is not, in fact, a debate about the mechanisms per se but is a proxy for the debate about a doctrine of deterrence through accountability. This doctrine equates attacks with crimes and focuses on policy and structures to support forensics, identify perpetrators , and prosecute them. However , this doctrine has no teeth and will fail absent an effectiv...

Many neuroscientists and philosophers endorse a view about the explanatory reach of neuroscience (which we will call the neuron doctrine) to the effect that the framework for understanding the mind will be developed by neuroscience; or, as we will put it, that a successful theory of the mind will be solely neuroscientific. It is a consequence of this view that the sciences of the mind that cann...

I shall confine my attention to the one Scotist doctrine that seems to be singled out as especially worrisome, the doctrine of univocity. In the first part of the paper I argue that the doctrine of univocity is true. So even if the doctrine has unwelcome consequences, we ought to affirm it anyway; it is not the job of the theologian or philosopher to shrink from uncomfortable truths. In the sec...

according to common law rules of england, obligation by one party is enforceable when the other has provided a consideration or the contract has been put in a deed. in some common law jurisdictions, such as australia, canada and the united states, another doctrine, named reasonable reliance, has developed, which could act as surrogate for the doctrine of consideration. english courts, however, ...

Controlling blocks of stock generally command a premium. Current doctrine allows controlling shareholders to sell without sharing this control premium in most, but not all, circumstances. The two dominant schools of academic thought on sales of control agree on one point: this current doctrine is wrong. Under one school of thought, the equal sharing school, noncontrolling shareholders should al...

Lawvere theories provide a categorical formulation of the algebraic theories from universal algebra. Freyd categories are categorical models of first-order effectful programming languages. The notion of sound limit doctrine has been used to classify accessible categories. We provide a definition of Lawvere theory that is enriched in a closed category that is locally presentable with respect to ...

The Descartes Query Language (DQL) enables to query the performance of a system using adapters to various solution approaches. Thereby, DQL is a realization of the vision of Declarative Performance Engineering (DPE) which decouples the description of user concerns (performance questions and goals) from the task of selecting and applying a specific solution approach. While model-based approaches...
