Programming languages for distributed computing systems
- ACM Computing Surveys
, 1989
"... When distributed systems first appeared, they were programmed in traditional sequential languages, usually with the addition of a few library procedures for sending and receiving messages. As distributed applications became more commonplace and more sophisticated, this ad hoc approach became less sa ..."

distributed system is, illustrating with examples to avoid confusion on this important and controversial point. We then describe the three main characteristics that distinguish distributed programming languages from traditional sequential languages, namely, how they deal with parallelism, communication
Controversies: Historicising the Computer Game
"... Games which involve historical topics have always been a staple of digital games, but at the same time they have often caused controversy and debate. This paper traces some of the pitfalls inherent to the creation of historical games, as well as trying to reach an understanding of how a history game ..."

Language evolution: Consensus and controversies
- Trends in Cognitive Sciences
, 2003
"... Why is language the way it is? How did language come to be this way? And why is our species alone in having complex language? These are old unsolved questions that have seen a renaissance in the dramatic recent growth in research being published on the origins and evolution of human language. This r ..."

. This review provides a broad overview of some of the important current work in this area. We highlight new methodologies (such as computational modeling), emerging points of consensus (such as the importance of pre-adaptation), and the major remaining controversies (such as gestural origins of language). We
Controversy in Detection
"... Abstract: In many countries, the work of mining, quarrying, construction of tunnels and galleries, abrasive jet cleaning and smelting continue to present significant risks of silica exposure and silicosis epidemics still occur, even in developed countries. Patients with silicosis are particularly su ..."

Transcending the Individual Human Mind -- Creating Shared Understanding through Collaborative Design
- ACM TRANSACTIONS ON COMPUTER HUMAN-INTERACTION
, 2000
"... Complex design problems require more knowledge than any single person possesses because the knowledge relevant to a problem is usually distributed among stakeholders. Bringing different and often controversial points of view together to create a shared understanding among these stakeholders can lead ..."

Controversial users demand local trust metrics: An experimental study on epinions.com community
- In Manuela M. Veloso and Subbarao
, 2005
"... In today's connected world it is possible and very com-mon to interact with unknown people, whose reliabil-ity is unknown. Trust Metrics are a recently proposed technique for answering questions such as \Should I trust this user?". However, most of the current re-search assumes that every ..."

Controversies surrounding evolutionary psychology. In
, 2005
"... Galileo thought sunspots, recently discovered by him and others, might be clouds of some sort near the sun’s surface. This clever idea was wrong, but it contained a deeper, radical truth: The physical laws governing the earth and the heavens are the same. Unifying seemingly incommensurable realms—he ..."

—heaven and earth, man and animal, space and time—within a single explanatory framework, as Galileo, Newton, Darwin, and Einstein did, often sparks revolutions that utterly transform science. The invention of the computer by Von Neumann, Turing, and others was such a revolution. By showing that a physical system
Controversies in Diagnosis of Pulmonary Embolism
"... The approach to the diagnosis of acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is under constant revision with advances in technology, noninvasive approaches, and increasing awareness of the risks of ionizing radiation. Optimal approaches in some categories of patients are controversial. Data are insufficient for e ..."

THE CONTROVERSIAL STATUS OF SIMULATIONS
"... It is claimed that simulations maintain an independent status in knowledge production – they combine traits both of experiment and theory. In particular, simulation procedures differ fundamentally from numerical calculations in the strict sense, rather they can be seen as imitations of complex dynam ..."
