Self-Adaptive Software: Landscape and Research Challenges
- ACM Transactions on Autonomous and Adaptive Systems
, 2009
"... Software systems dealing with distributed applications in changing environments normally require human supervision to continue operation in all conditions. These (re-)configuring, troubleshooting, and in general maintenance tasks lead to costly and time-consuming procedures during the operating phas ..."

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
Toward a Detailed Classification Scheme for Software Maintenance Activities
- in Proceedings of the 1999 Americas Conference
, 1999
"... 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 in develo ..."

Receptive field plasticity in the auditory cortex during frequency discrimination training: selective retuning independent of task difficulty. Behav Neurosci 107:82–103
, 1993
"... Primary sensory cortex in the adult is modified by learning. The primary auditory cortex is retuned when a tone is paired with a behaviorally relevant reinforcer. Frequency receptive fields are shifted toward or to the frequency of the signal stimulus, yielding enhanced processing and representatio ..."

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
See What You Want to See: Motivational Influences on Visual Perception,”
- Journal of Personality and Social Psychology,
, 2006
"... People's motivational states-their wishes and preferences-influence their processing of visual stimuli. In 5 studies, participants shown an ambiguous figure (e.g., one that could be seen either as the letter B or the number 13) tended to report seeing the interpretation that assigned them to o ..."

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
Towards Integration of Service Life and Asset

The reasons for the difficulties relate directly to the lack of usable data, information and knowledge related to service life prediction, and the lack of tools to assist the asset manager in making a proper repair choice. The Building Envelope Life Cycle Asset Management (BELCAM) project add ..."

Intron evolution as a population-genetic process.
- Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA.
, 2002
"... Debate over the mechanisms responsible for the phylogenetic and genomic distribution of introns has proceeded largely without consideration of the population-genetic forces influencing the establishment and retention of novel genetic elements. However, a simple model incorporating random genetic dr ..."

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).

Towards a Scientific Model Management System

A side effect of their success unfortunately exists and is observed as an increasing difficulty in managing data, ..."

WORKING TOWARDS A MODEL OF NORMATIVE BEHAVIOR FOR LONG-TERM COMMITTED RELATIONSHIPS

Abstract We propose that one area of great importance, which has remained virtually unexamined by evolutionary psychologists, is how individuals maintain their long-term romantic relationships during difficult times. Of those Canadians who marry, the majority remain so until their 30 th anniversary ..."
