), and preferences of stakeholders. Noting these requirements, it is widely believed that new models and frameworks are needed to design self-adaptive software. This survey article presents a taxonomy, based on concerns of adaptation, i.e., how, what, when and where, towards providing a unified view of this emerging

Concern for Y2K compliance emphasizes the need for understanding and improved management of software maintenance activities. Relatively little empirical research has examined the type and extent of activities taking place during software maintenance. Our research represents a first attempt

is highly plastic in the adult animal. Moreover, the induction and maintenance of plasticity in primary sensory cortical fields do not require damage to a sensory system with subsequent recovery or reorganization. Rather, relatively simple moment-tomoment learning experiences involve substantial, highly

that the animal was worth, and their ongoing score, ostensibly to corroborate with the computer program. Additionally, participants categorized the animal as either a farm animal or sea creature on the computer. Finally, participants completed a number of LDTs during the animal categorization task, supposedly

and Maintenance Conditions for the Establishment of a New Intron. Although the specific mechanisms by which introns arise are not entirely understood, plausible mechanisms can lead to the birth of an intron fully endowed with the necessary features for excision during mRNA processing (5, 10). We will start

This paper analyses the cognitive difficulty of six courses that may be taken as credit towards an IT degree offered by a regional Australian University. The assessment requirements of these six courses are evaluated using Bloom’s taxonomy and from this a difficulty metric, called here a Bloom
