Financial Dependence and Growth
- American Economic Review
, 1998
"... This paper examines whether nancial development facilitates economic growth by scrutinizing one rationale for such a relationship; that nancial development reduces the costs of external nance to rms. Speci cally, we ask whether industrial sectors that are relatively more in need of external nance de ..."

develop disproportionately faster in countries with more developed nancial markets. We nd this to be true in a large sample of countries over the 1980s. We show this result is unlikely to be driven by omitted variables, outliers, or reverse causality. (JEL O4, F3, G1) A large literature, dating at least
The nesC language: A holistic approach to networked embedded systems
- In Proceedings of Programming Language Design and Implementation (PLDI
, 2003
"... We present nesC, a programming language for networked embedded systems that represent a new design space for application developers. An example of a networked embedded system is a sensor network, which consists of (potentially) thousands of tiny, lowpower “motes, ” each of which execute concurrent, ..."

Tropos: An Agent-Oriented Software Development Methodology
, 2003
"... Our goal in this paper is to introduce and motivate a methodology, called Tropos, for building agent oriented software systems. Tropos is based on two key ideas. First, the notion of agent and all related mentalistic notions (for instance goals and plans) are used in all phases of software develop ..."

and human agents. The methodology is illustrated with the help of a case study. The Tropos language for conceptual modeling is formalized in a metamodel described with a set of UML class diagrams.
Enhanced hypertext categorization using hyperlinks
, 1998
"... A major challenge in indexing unstructured hypertext databases is to automatically extract meta-data that enables structured search using topic taxonomies, circumvents keyword ambiguity, and improves the quality of search and profile-based routing and filtering. Therefore, an accurate classifier is ..."

Information-Driven Dynamic Sensor Collaboration for Tracking Applications
- SIGNAL PROCESSING MAGAZINE
, 2002
"... This article overviews the information-driven approach to sensor collaboration in ad hoc sensor networks. The main idea is for a network to determine participants in a “sensor collaboration ” by dynamically optimizing the information utility of data for a given cost of communication and computation. ..."

. A definition of information utility is introduced, and several approximate measures of the information utility are developed for reasons of computational tractability. We illustrate the use of this approach using examples drawn from tracking applications.
Inductive Programming – Example-driven construction of functional programs
"... We developed an efficient, analytical approach for learning recursive functional programs from examples. Igor2 is a realization of this approach as constructor term rewriting system. We can show that our approach compares very well to other systems of inductive programming and we will discuss applic ..."

Metaanalysis of theory-of-mind development. The truth about false belief.
- Child Development,
, 2001
"... Research on theory of mind increasingly encompasses apparently contradictory findings. In particular, in initial studies, older preschoolers consistently passed false-belief tasks-a so-called "definitive" test of mentalstate understanding-whereas younger children systematically erred. Mor ..."

. More recent studies, however, have found evidence of false-belief understanding in 3-year-olds or have demonstrated conditions that improve children's performance. A meta-analysis was conducted ( N ϭ 178 separate studies) to address the empirical inconsistencies and theoretical controversies. When
Redux: ExampleDriven Diagrammatic Tools for Rapid Knowledge Acquisition
- In Conference on Behavior Representation in Modeling and Simulation
, 2004
"... The last ten years has seen a revolution in the complexity and realism of human behavior models (HBMs). However, the cost of developing realistic HBMs continues to increase as much of the detailed and complex knowledge must be manually encoded to produce realistic behavior. The focus of this project ..."

Combining a Formal with an Example-driven Approach for Data Integration
"... Integrating data sources is a general problem in many scenarios. The main problem is the heterogeneity between data sources which were created and developed separately. In the literature there exist many different approaches to solve that problem. Schema integration approaches derive an integrate ..."
Abstract
- Add to MetaCart
integration approach GIM and the example-driven approach VIBE basing on FRAQL can be combined for a new combined approach. The combined approach benefits from the powerful mapping language FRAQL and the verification feature by using example databases and from the extensional analysis of the GIM approach
DataPlay: Interactive Tweaking and Example-driven Correction of Graphical Database Queries
