Implementation intentions. Strong effects of simple plans

by Peter M. Gollwitzer - AMERICAN PSYCHOLOGIST , 1999
"... When people encounter problems in translating their goals into action (e.g., failing to get started, becoming distracted, or falling into bad habits), they may strategically call on automatic processes in an attempt to secure goal attain-ment. This can be achieved by plans in the form of imple-menta ..."

The ensemble Kalman Filter: Theoretical formulation and practical implementation.

by Geir Evensen - Ocean Dynamics, , 2003
"... Abstract The purpose of this paper is to provide a comprehensive presentation and interpretation of the Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF) and its numerical implementation. The EnKF has a large user group and numerous publications have discussed applications and theoretical aspects of it. This paper rev ..."

Surround-screen projection-based virtual reality: The design and implementation of the CAVE

by Carolina Cruz-neira, Daniel J. Sandin, Thomas A. Defanti , 1993
"... Abstract Several common systems satisfy some but not all of the VR This paper describes the CAVE (CAVE Automatic Virtual Environment) virtual reality/scientific visualization system in detail and demonstrates that projection technology applied to virtual-reality goals achieves a system that matches ..."

the quality of workstation screens in terms of resolution, color, and flicker-free stereo. In addition, this format helps reduce the effect of common tracking and system latency errors. The off-axis perspective projection techniques we use are shown to be simple and straightforward. Our techniques for doing

Software pipelining: An effective scheduling technique for VLIW machines

by Monica Lam , 1988
"... This paper shows that software pipelining is an effective and viable scheduling technique for VLIW processors. In software pipelining, iterations of a loop in the source program are continuously initiated at constant intervals, before the preceding iterations complete. The advantage of software pipe ..."

On the Criteria To Be Used in Decomposing Systems into Modules

by D. L. Parnas - Communications of the ACM , 1972
"... This paper discusses modularization as a mechanism for improving the flexibility and comprehensibility of a system while allowing the shortening of its development time. The effectiveness of a “modularization ” is dependent upon the criteria used in dividing the system into modules. A system design ..."
Abstract - Cited by 1585 (16 self) - Add to MetaCart
, if implemented with the conventional assumption that a module consists of one or more subroutines, will be less efficient in most cases. An alternative approach to implementation which does not have this effect is sketched.

Separation of ownership and control

by Eugene F. Fama, Michael C. Jensen - JOURNAL OF LAW AND ECONOMICS , 1983
"... This paper analyzes the survival of organizations in which decision agents do not bear a major share of the wealth effects of their decisions. This is what the literature on large corporations calls separation of “ownership” and “control.” Such separation of decision and risk bearing functio ..."
Abstract - Cited by 1661 (8 self) - Add to MetaCart
because of an effective common approach to controlling the implied agency problems. In particular, the contract structures of all these organizations separate the ratification and monitoring of decisions from the initiation and implementation of the decisions.

GOLOG: A Logic Programming Language for Dynamic Domains

by Hector J. Levesque, Raymond Reiter, Yves Lespérance, Fangzhen Lin, Richard B. Scherl , 1994
"... This paper proposes a new logic programming language called GOLOG whose interpreter automatically maintains an explicit representation of the dynamic world being modeled, on the basis of user supplied axioms about the preconditions and effects of actions and the initial state of the world. This allo ..."

MULTILISP: a language for concurrent symbolic computation

by Robert H. Halstead - ACM Transactions on Programming Languages and Systems , 1985
"... Multilisp is a version of the Lisp dialect Scheme extended with constructs for parallel execution. Like Scheme, Multilisp is oriented toward symbolic computation. Unlike some parallel programming languages, Multilisp incorporates constructs for causing side effects and for explicitly introducing par ..."

The Runge-Kutta discontinuous Galerkin method for conservation laws V: multidimensional systems

by Bernardo Cockburn , Chi-Wang Shu , 1997
"... This is the fifth paper in a series in which we construct and study the so-called Runge-Kutta Discontinuous Galerkin method for numerically solving hyperbolic conservation laws. In this paper, we extend the method to multidimensional nonlinear systems of conservation laws. The algorithms are describ ..."

Agile Application-Aware Adaptation for Mobility

by Brian D. Noble, M. Satyanarayanan, Dushyanth Narayanan, James Eric Tilton, Jason Flinn, Kevin R. Walker - SOSP-16 , 1997
"... In this paper we show that application-aware adaptation, a collaborative partnership between the operating system and applications, offers the most general and effective approach to mobile information access. We describe the design of Odyssey, a prototype implementing this approach, and show how it ..."
