From RTM-notation to ENP-score-notation

This paper discusses some recent developments within a compositional environment called PWGL. Our focus is to present how score information is represented in PWGL. We give some background information concerning the rhythmic notation that was used in PatchWork (a predecessor of PWGL). After this we show how this notation has been expanded so that it allows to generate very detailed scores that c...

Tree Notation: an antifragile document notation

We discover a new family of programming languages that align source code with abstract syntax trees. With further discoveries from the community, these new languages may lead to order-of-magnitude gains in developer productivity. We make some predictions and introduce a new conjecture on data structures. We end with a joke. Fig. 1. This diagram is the output of an ETN program.

Common Notation

This note summarizes one comfortable notational practice. In most circumstances, this notation has been and still is convenient for me and many people I know. It turned out to be rather intuitive, mostly consistent, and generating relatively little ambiguity. I do not claim that the presented notation is convenient for everyone for every purpose.

Queueing Notation

Queueing theory is concerned with the mathematical analysis of systems that provide service to random demands. This theory has many application areas (e.g., industrial engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, telecommunications, and operations management). Consequently, the terminology and notation, while often intuitively sensible, are not always consistent. The mathematical theo...
