These qualities should serve her well in her next job, as director of the National Science Foundation (NSF) — for which she awaits confirmation by the US Sen...
متن کاملSystem Development at Run Time
Models are essential for defining and developing systems that support run-time decision-making and reconfiguration, and for implementing autonomous and adaptive systems for remote, hazardous, and largely unknown external environments. We show that they can also be used as the operational code throughout the development process, including deployment. Our ability to build systems with this proper...

You would not be surprised if you opened tomorrow’s newspaper to read: ‘Nurses in plea for action over £115m hospital superbugs.’ But that headline has been published before, in a 1996 edition of the Daily Mail. It accompanied a story about a resolution at RCN congress calling for a nationwide surveillance scheme to monitor antibiotic-resistant infections. Now, with an election looming, the pol...
متن کاملReprogramming Embedded Systems at Run-Time
The dynamic re-programming of embedded systems is a long-standing problem in the field. With the advent of wireless sensor networks and the ‘Internet of Things’ it has now become necessary to be able to reprogram at run-time due to the difficulty of gaining access to such systems once deployed. The issues of power consumption, flexibility, and operating system protections are examined for a ran...
متن کاملImproving Efficiency by Weaving at Run-time
Since the appearance of Java several tools have been developed to allow making dynamic changes in Java programs. In general, these tools trades the flexibility for the efficiency of the program. In this paper I present RtJAC, an aspect-oriented framework for Java based on JAC [3], which makes possible to create aspects, specify their join points and weave them into an application, all at run-ti...
