Software productivity has been steadily increasing over the last 30 years, but not enough to close the gap between the demands placed on the software industry and what the state of the practice can deliver [22,39]; nothing short of an order of magnitude increase in productivity will extricate

With power dissipation becoming an increasingly vexing problem across many classes of computer systems, measuring power dissipation of real, running systems has become crucial for hardware and software system research and design. Live power measurements are imperative for studies requiring

Abstract A classification system for natural rivers is presented in which a morphological arrangement of stream characteristics is organized into relatively homogeneous stream types. This paper describes morphologically similar stream reaches that are divided into 7 major stream type categories

, preheat the oven, mix the ingredients, pour the mixture into the pan, and put it in the oven for 45 minutes. Traditional AI planning systems like STRIPS [22], NOAH [63], and SIPE [71], were designed to construct just this kind of plan---except usually the goal was something like a tower o...

Summary: This paper presents the model of Intelligence Information System (IIS) based on a Service-Oriented Architecture. In this paper we propose the new service’s model, based on the Intelligence cycle and other systems which are necessary for gathering intelligence information and data

Abstract: It is considered that the reference to the irrational problematic is provoked in the era of social crises, when people give up their hope to organize the society on the basis of common sense. There is a widespread opinion that irrationalism and mysticism present themselves as a sort of capitulation of the reason to the complicated issues that life puts before them. In this sense, irrationalism is often estimated as a reflection of the deep pessimism, as a certain philosophical depression, for which it is typical not to search for the answers to the questions, but to avoid them. We are speaking out exactly against this position, proving that irrational ideas not only carry a constructive, creative meaning, but also are capable of expanding the worldview horizons of man by enriching his inner world with a whole range of mechanisms of comprehension and understanding of reality.
