In the light of various studies carried out in various socio-economic areas, scientific and cultural development has been introduced as a prerequisite and fundamental factor for sustainable development of the societies. Obviously, universities, as a "scientific and intellectual command center of the society" have a fundamental and unique role and function. In order to achieve this, the most sig...

Component-based software engineering means constructing new systems from already existing, service-providing components. Object-based software engineering means constructing a new system in terms of interacting, distinct units of information and services called objects. Both components and objects have encapsulation properties and are accessed via well-de ned interfaces. Both components and obj...

We discuss how a property of some region is propagated to other regions. We propose a system called SRCC that enables the integration of spatial and semantic data. SRCC can represent the relative positions of regions, properties that hold in some regions, semantic relation between regions, and so on. We define the model and describe an algorithm that checks for the existence of a model for a gi...

The paper presents an idea of Lexical Platform proposed as a means for a lightweight integration of various lexical resources into one complex (from the perspective of non-technical users). All LRs will be represented as software web components implementing a minimal set of predefined programming interfaces providing functionality for querying and generating simple common presentation format. A...

We describe a method for determining γ using B± → DK± decays followed by a multibody D decay. In the talk we focus on KS π−π+ final state, but other modes such as D → KS K−K+ and D → KS π−π+π0 can also be used. The main advantages of the method are that it uses only Cabibbo allowed D decays, and that large strong phases are expected due to the presence of resonances. Since no knowledge about th...
