LIBRARY TRENDS, Vol. 63, No. 1, 2014 (“New Perspectives on Intellectual Freedom,” edited by Mark McCallon), pp. 75–108. © 2014 The Board of Trustees, University of Illinois Abstract Traditionally the concept of intellectual freedom has developed out of the perspective of users’ rights to access library materials. The American Library Association (ALA) codified this with the Library Bill of Righ...

The Counterflow Pipeline (CFP) organization may be a good target for synthesis of application-specific microprocessors for embedded systems because it has a regular and simple structure. This paper describes a design environment for tailoring CFP's to an embedded application to improve performance. Our system allows exploring the design space of all possible CFP's for a given embedded applicati...

7 determine the maximum multiple of the demand vector that one can satisfy subject to the capacity constraints. The solution, , to the CFP problem is then used to scale the demands, thereby creating a feasible MCNF problem. We then randomly assign costs per unit ow for each commodity in each edge and solve the resulting MCNF problem. For the instances that we solved, the cost range was 1 to 100...

The world is changing and changing fast. Contemporary students live in a world full of impressions, fast changing viewpoints, ubiquitous information, zapping behaviour, play and joy etc. They use facilities such as MSN, on-line gaming, and SMS. They expect a seamless access to information, mostly in a social context. At the same time we see drastic changes in learning environments, moving them ...

The geometric approach to intra-opus pattern discovery (in which notes are represented as points in pitch-time space in order to discover repeated patterns within a piece of music) shows promise particularly for polyphonic music, but has attracted some criticism because: (1) the approach extends to a limited number of inexact repetition types only; (2) typically geometric pattern discovery algo...

In this paper, we define the crowdfunding platform (CFP) a virtual place where project creators document their projects for gaining awareness or social support for making the project proceed. By doing so, project teams can voice the propositions they have worked on or they may also speak out on one party’s behalf for seeking advices. This paper proposes a research framework that targets the iss...

Discussion of a paper in RE program committees is often complicated by lack of agreement about evaluation criteria to be applied to the paper. For some years now, successive program chairs have attempted to increase clarity by including a paper classification in their CFP, and making the evaluation criteria per paper class explicit. This short note presents a paper classification based on this ...

To analyze the effects of specific regions of the aleatory and epistemic uncertain variables on the failure probability, a regional sensitivity analysis (RSA) technique called contribution to failure probability (CFP) plot is developed in this paper. This RSA technique can detect the important aleatory and epistemic uncertain variables, and also measure the contribution of specific regions of t...
