-oriented Programming. In this model, programs can be partitioned into layers that can be dynamically activated and deactivated depending on their execution context. Layers are sets of partial program definitions that can be composed in any order. Context-oriented Programming encourages rich, dynamic modifications

Abstract-This paper presents Random Early Detection (RED) gateways for congestion avoidance in packet-switched networks. The gateway detects incipient congestion by computing the average queue size. The gateway could notify connections of congestion either by dropping packets arriving

or to contexts. The neural correlates of behavioral associations with explicit stimuli may not only involve the phasic responses to CSs described above but also activations at other task epochs. Further neural correlates of Pavlovian conditioning may consist of the sustained activations that occur during

of the execution environment where they occur and to the needs of the application to which the coordinating agents belong. This paper introduces the concept of context-dependent coordination based on programmable interaction spaces. On the one hand, interaction spaces associated to different execution environments

and coordinate 2 alternating task sets in working memory instead of 1 is more negatively affected by advancing age than the ability to execute the task switch itself. Cognitive control processes are generally seen as responsible for the regulation and organization of behavioral activity (Baddeley, 1986; Norman

Context-dependent behavior is becoming increasingly important for a wide range of application domains, from pervasive computing to common business applications. Unfortunately, mainstream programming languages do not provide mechanisms that enable software entities to adapt their behavior

the polarity of their divergent responses. Taken together these results redefine the function of the OB as a transiently modifiable (active) filter, shaping early odor representations in behaviorally meaningful ways.

, the partial definitions become part of the program until this layer is deactivated. This has the effect that the behavior of a program can be modified according to the context of its use without the need to mention such context dependencies in the affected base program. We illustrate these ideas by providing

In this mode, transient activation of Delta is also capable of inducing prolonged high expression of Hes1, mimicking the ‘‘ON’ ’ state depending on the intensity

the value of the rm ultimately depends on its valuation in the stock market, the unit of capital accumulation (the rm) itself becomes a node in a global network of nancial ows. In this economy, the dominant layer is the global nancial market, where all earnings from all activities and countries end up being
