This paper defines a three-dimensional architectural framework, named Technology and Information Platform (TIP), to effectively handle the architecture complexity and manage the architectural assets of enterprise information systems in a service-oriented paradigm. This comprehensive model is composed of a Generic Architecture Stack (GAS) comprising a stack of architecture layers, and the contex...

Failure to selectively attend to a facial feature, in the part-to-whole paradigm, has been taken as evidence of holistic perception in a large body of face perception literature. In this article, we demonstrate that although failure of selective attention is a necessary property of holistic perception, its presence alone is not sufficient to conclude holistic processing has occurred. One must a...
