Dataflow programs analysis and optimization using model predictive control techniques: An example of bounded buffer scheduling

This paper presents a new approach to buffer dimensioning for dynamic dataflow implementations. A novel transformation applied to the execution trace graph of a dataflow program is introduced in order to generate an event driven system. It is shown how model predictive control theory techniques can be applied to such a system to analyse the execution space of a dataflow program and to define and t

The gender mainstreaming strategy was formulated in general terms, thus creating an ‘empty’, yet broadly applicable and acceptable strategy for eliminating multiple kinds of gender gaps. This article constructs a definition of the concept of mainstreaming, and estimates the positive and negative properties of the strategy, concluding that the mainstreaming strategy continually generates a paradox,

CER: A Handy Tool for the Civil Engineer

Because of the dynamic developments in information technology, the role of the libraries is also changing dramatically. Access to electronic resources, as a service, has become more common for all those working in libraries. This paper focuses on the Civil Engineering Resources (CER), an electronic resource service available on the World Wide Web. It was developed within the library of Civil Engin

The Explanatory Value of Cognitive Asymmetries in Policy Controversies

Citing an epistemic or cognitive asymmetry between experts and the public, it is easy to view the relation between scientists and citizens as primarily based on trust, rather than on the content of expert argumentation. In criticism of this claim, four theses are defended: (1) Empirical studies suggest that content matters, while trust(worthiness) boasts persuasiveness. (2) In social policy contro

This thesis is a contribution to the understanding of the life and work of Arnold Schoenberg as well as to musical hermeneutics. The aims are (1) to scrutinize Arnold Schoenberg’s marital crisis of the year 1908, (2) to probe into the meanings of some representative musical works during this very period, and (3) to compare features in Schoenberg’s life and his creative work.
