The Chair of the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Data Engineering (TCDE) is elected for a two-year period. The mandate of the current Chair, David Lomet, expires at the end of this year and the process of electing a Chair for the period 2013-2014 has begun. A Nominating Committee consisting of Paul Larson and Masaru Kitsuregawa has been struck. The Nominating Committee invites nomi...

In this paper, we present a theory of synchronous data-ow languages. Our theory is supported by both some heuristic analysis of applications and some theoretical investigation of the data-ow paradigm. Our model covers both behavioural and operational aspects, and allows both synchronous and asynchronous styles of implementation for synchronous programs. This model served as a basis to establish...

Abstract. The sequence of pitches which form a musical melody can be transposed or inverted. Since the 1970s, music theorists have modeled musical transposition and inversion in terms of an action of the dihedral group of order 24. More recently music theorists have found an intriguing second way that the dihedral group of order 24 acts on the set of major and minor chords. We illustrate both g...

The Chair of the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Data Engineering (TCDE) is elected for a two-year period. The mandate of the current Chair, Kyu-Young Whang, is coming to an end and it is time to elect a Chair for the next two years. The TCDE Chair Nominating Committee, consisting of Amr El Abaddi, Paul Larson, and David Lomet, has nominated two candidates for the position as Chair...

This paper suggests a solution to the puzzling finding documented in Moskowitz and Vissing-Jorgensen (2002) that the return to an index of private equity is equal to the return to the CRSP index of public equity even though investment in private firms is substantially riskier. It presents an occupational choice model where human and financial capital can be jointly invested in a private busines...
