The find material large varied, providing proof of contacts with other places in southern Baltic Sea area.

The work reported in this paper proposes Swarm-Array computing, a novel technique inspired by swarm robotics, and built on the foundations of autonomic and parallel computing. The approach aims to apply autonomic computing constructs to parallel computing systems and in effect achieve the self-ware objectives that describe self-managing systems. The constitution of swarm-array computing compris...

Such an awareness is merely the evidence of a frank recognition that the world is sick and that science alone is not enough. Such a credo, though Dr. Sinnott would ...

Refactoring is a staple of Object-Oriented (OO) program development. It should be a staple of OO Software Product Line (SPL) development too. X15 is the rst tool to support the refactoring of Java SPL codebases. X15 (1) uses Java custom annotations to encode variability in feature-based Java SPLs, (2) projects a view of a SPL product (a program that corresponds to a legal SPL con guration), and...
