Rational, Bayesian accounts of cognition at the computational level have enjoyed much success in recent years: human behavior is consistent with optimal Bayesian agents in low-level perceptual and motor tasks as well as high level cognitive tasks like category and concept learning, language, and theory of mind. However, two challenges have thus far been ignored by these computational-level mode...

Zusammenfassung—Bei dieser Seminarausarbeitung handelt es sich um eine Ausarbeitung, die für ein Bachelorkolloquium (Bachelor Angewandte Informatik) an der Universität DuisburgEssen im Jahr 2011 geschrieben wurde. Ich veröffentliche diese Ausarbeitung, damit interessierte Studierende oder generell an Softwareentwicklung Interessierte sich einen ersten Eindruck über den Rational Unified Process ...

Professionelle Softwareentwicklung ist heute ohne den Einsatz eines Vorgehensmodells nicht mehr vorstellbar. Die Firma Rational Software hat mit dem Rational Unified Process (RUP) [KRU98] ein Prozessmodell entwickelt, das zahlreiche Entwicklungstätigkeiten, Ergebnisse und Abhängigkeiten der Softwareentwicklung im Detail beschreibt. Der RUP wird von Rational Software als Produkt vertrieben und w...

Editor's Note: The IBM Rational Unified Process,® or RUP,® offers software development organizations a framework for streamlining all activities related to the development lifecycle. Since its formal debut in 1996, RUP has evolved to support a variety of development requirements, including "systems engineering," or SE. In 2001, the first RUP Plug-In to support systems engineering was proposed b...

product innovation success has very much to do with the development of models ormetaphors that are able to guide actors. one can observe two traditions in thisregard: rational and non-rational models. apparently in the former the model, suchas “development funnel”, is regarded as a mechanism and rigid applicable, picturinginnovation as an orderly, goal-oriented, value-neutral, and systematic pr...

Current employment strategies usually rely on some rational compromise between hiring people with skills that are needed immediately and hiring people with skills that will likely be needed in the future. A more open approach to innovation promises access to “smart people” that are outside of your organization. But most strategies fall far short of effectively tapping that external crowd. A new...
