As Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) power consumption continues to increase, lower power FPGA circuitry, architectures, and Computer-Aided Design (CAD) tools need to be developed. Before designing low-power FPGA circuitry, architectures, or CAD tools, we must first determine where the biggest savings (in terms of energy dissipation) are to be made and whether these savings are cumulative. I...

In this paper we illustrate how the knowledge driven Behaviour Analysis, which has been used in the KITE.it process management framework, can support the evolution of analytics from descriptive to predictive. We describe how the methodology uses an iterative three-step process: first the descriptive knowledge is collected, querying the knowledge base, then the prescriptive and predictive knowle...

Data protection regulatory policies, such as the European Union's General Protection Regulation (GDPR), force website operators to request users' consent before collecting any personal information revealed through their web browsing. Website operators, motivated by potential value of collected data, employ various methods when designing notices (e.g., dark patterns) in order convince users allo...

In this paper it is shown that a definite description refers to a given discourse referent if the descriptive content is deaccented. But if there is an accent on the descriptive content, a novel referent is introduced. Starting from a uniqueness view of definiteness, a distinction between two uses of definite descriptions is proposed: ‘Given definites’ represent identity anaphors exploiting the...
