This is a manifesto for DEMoS, which is a Distributed Embedded Modular System, but also a manifesto addressing the need for more inter-/cross-disciplinary mastery of working knowledge related to installing this class of systems in the real world. There is somehow room for yet another class of systems complementary to existing embedded systems complementing distributed operating systems which ta...

Anbieter/Hersteller: TTI GmbH TGZ Softwareanalysen Referent: Stefan Bellon/Thomas Eisenbarth Kurzbeschreibung: Die Bauhaus Suite ist ein Werkzeugkasten verschiedener Analysen, die zum Programmverstehen beitragen und somit während der kompletten Phase der Software-Evolution von Nutzen sind. Die Analysen gliedern sich in Analysen auf Architekturebene (z.B. Vergleich der Istmit der Soll-Architektu...

Democracy is rule by the demos, but by what criteria is the demos constituted? Theorists of democracy have tended to assume that the demos is properly defined by national boundaries or by the territorial boundaries of the modern state. In a recent turn, many democratic theorists have advanced the principles of affected interests and coercion as the basis for defining the boundaries of democracy...

When collective decisions should be made democratically, which people form the relevant demos? Many theorists think this question is an embarrassment to democratic theory: (1) because any decision about who forms demos must democratically by right demos, itself constituted and so on ad infinitum; (2) neither concept of democracy, nor (3) our reasons for caring determine demos. Having distinguis...

MIGS-GPU is a software package for gridding and segmenting cDNA microarray images. MIGS-GPU addresses two stages of microarray image analysis: Firstly, it implements a genetic algorithm in order to efficiently perform the gridding even in poor quality microarray images. Then, it implements a grow-cut algorithm in order to segment the microarray images. Computations for both the gridding and seg...
