Model checking and abstraction

by Peter J. Clarke, Djuradj Babich, Tariq M. King, B. M. Golam Kibria - ACM Transactions on Programming Languages and Systems , 1994
"... software developers are using the Java language as the language of choice on many applications. This is due to the effective use of the object-oriented (OO) paradigm to develop large software projects and the ability of the Java language to support the increasing use of web technologies in business ..."

Illusion and well-being: A social psychological perspective on mental health.

by Shelley E Taylor , Jonathon D Brown , Nancy Cantor , Edward Emery , Susan Fiske , Tony Green-Wald , Connie Hammen , Darrin Lehman , Chuck Mcclintock , Dick Nisbett , Lee Ross , Bill Swann , Joanne - Psychological Bulletin, , 1988
"... Many prominent theorists have argued that accurate perceptions of the self, the world, and the future are essential for mental health. Yet considerable research evidence suggests that overly positive selfevaluations, exaggerated perceptions of control or mastery, and unrealistic optimism are charac ..."

Culture in action: Symbols and strategies

by Ann Swidler - American Sociological Review , 1986
"... Culture influences action not by providing the ultimate values toward which action is oriented, but by shaping a repertoire or "tool kit " of habits, skills, and styles from which people construct "strategies of action. " Two models of cultural influence are developed, for settle ..."

Emerging Frameworks for Tangible User Interfaces

by Brygg Ullmer, Hiroshi Ishii , 2001
"... For more than thirty years, people have relied primarily on screen-based text and graphics to interact with computers. Whether the screen is placed on a desk, held in one's hand, worn on one's head, or embedded in the physical environment, the screen has cultivated a predominantly visual p ..."

paradigm of human-computer interaction. In this chapter, we discuss a growing space of interfaces in which physical objects play a central role as both physical representations and controls for digital information. We present an interaction model and key characteristics for such "tangible user

Object-Oriented Modeling with Roles

by Bent Bruun Kristensen - Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Object-Oriented Information Systems , 1995
"... Objects relate to each other in different ways --- serving, using, and communicating with each other. From the way in which they treat one another, objects have different perspectives of each other. These perspectives define the role that an object may play towards another. The perspectives are form ..."

are formed as a restricted set of methods of the object, --- exactly the methods that are relevant for the relations between the objects. Different roles exist for different purposes, and the roles played by an object may change over time. The role is a powerful modeling concept in object-oriented analysis

What We Talk About When We Talk About Context

by Paul Dourish - Personal and Ubiquitous Computing , 2004
"... The emergence of ubiquitous computing as a new design paradigm poses significant challenges for HCI and interaction design. Traditionally, human-computer interaction has taken place within a constrained and well-understood domain of experience – single users sitting at desks and interacting with con ..."

Object-Oriented Modeling of Programming Paradigms

by M. H. Van Emden, S. C. Somosan , 2006
"... For the right application, the use of programming paradigms such as functional or logic programming can enormously increase productivity in software development. But these powerful paradigms are tied to exotic programming languages, while the management of software development dictates standardizati ..."
Abstract - Add to MetaCart
standardization on a single language. This dilemma can be resolved by using object-oriented programming in a new way. It is conventional to analyze an application by object-oriented modeling. In the new approach, the analysis identifies the paradigm that is ideal for the application; development starts

Towards an Object-Oriented Curriculum

by Bertrand Meyer, Raimund Ege, Madhu Singh, B. Meyer , 1993
"... This proposal suggests a redesign of the teaching of programming and other software topics in universities on the basis of object-oriented principles. It argues that the new "inverted curriculum" should give a central place to libraries, and make students from the reuse consumer's rol ..."

Time varying structural vector autoregressions and monetary policy

by Giorgio E. Primiceri - REVIEW OF ECONOMIC STUDIES , 2005
"... Monetary policy and the private sector behavior of the US economy are modeled as a time varying structural vector autoregression, where the sources of time variation are both the co-efficients and the variance covariance matrix of the innovations. The paper develops a new, simple modeling strategy f ..."

Object-Oriented Modeling Of Hybrid Systems

by Hilding Elmqvist , Francois E. Cellier, Martin Otter , 1993
"... A new methodology for the object--oriented description of models consisting of a mixture of continuous and discrete components is presented. The object--oriented paradigm enables the user to describe such models in a modular fashion that permits the reuse of these models independently of the environ ..."
