that this dilemma has no technical solution. If the great powers continue to look for solutions in the area of science and technology only, the result will be to worsen the situation.” I would like to focus your attention not on the subject of the article (national secu-rity in a nuclear world) but on the kind

The architecture of complexity
- Proceedings of the American Philosophical Society
, 1962
"... A number of proposals have been advanced in recent years for the development of “general systems theory ” that, abstracting from properties peculiar to physical, biological, or social systems, would be applicable to all of them. 1 We might well feel that, while the goal is laudable, systems of such ..."

of such diverse kinds could hardly be expected to have any nontrivial properties in common. Metaphor and analogy can be helpful, or they can be misleading. All depends on whether the similarities the metaphor captures are significant or superficial. It may not be entirely vain, however, to search for common

On the Plurality of Worlds
, 1986
"... David Lewis is one of the most influential philosophers of our age, and On the Plurality of Worlds is his magnum opus. OPW1 offers an extended development and defense of the hypothesis that there are many universes, things of the same kind as the universe in which we all live, move, and have our bei ..."

Ecology of the family as a context for human development: Research perspectives.
- Developmental Psychology,
, 1986
"... This review collates and examines critically a theoretically convergent but widely dispersed body of research on the influence of external environments on the functioning of families as contexts of human development. Investigations falling within this expanding domain include studies of the interac ..."

, it is but one of several settings in which developmental process can and do occur. Moreover, the processes operating in different settings are not independent of each other. To cite a common example, events at home can affect the child's progress in school, and vice versa. Despite the obviousness
Ontologies are us: A unified model of social networks and semantics
- In International Semantic Web Conference
, 2005
"... Abstract. On the Semantic Web ontologies are most commonly treated as artifacts created by knowledge engineers for a particular community. The task of the engineers is to forge a common understanding within the community and to formalize the agreements, prerequisites of reusing domain knowledge in i ..."

]. The idea of emergent semantics is to define the ontology as an emergent feature of a system of autonomous agents acting in dynamic, open environments. Besides an agreement over the kind of environment in which emergence could be observed, there is little common ground in what emergence would constitute. We
A Data Structure for Dynamic Trees
, 1983
"... A data structure is proposed to maintain a collection of vertex-disjoint trees under a sequence of two kinds of operations: a link operation that combines two trees into one by adding an edge, and a cut operation that divides one tree into two by deleting an edge. Each operation requires O(log n) ti ..."

(2) Solving various network flow problems including finding maximum flows, blocking flows, and acyclic flows. (3) Computing certain kinds of constrained minimum spanning
Fast Multiresolution Image Querying
, 1995
"... We present a method for searching in an image database using a query image that is similar to the intended target. The query image may be a hand-drawn sketch or a (potentially low-quality) scan of the image to be retrieved. Our searching algorithm makes use of multiresolution wavelet decompositions ..."
