Dress Rehearsal

Estimating Reliability and Bias from Reinterviews with Application to the 1998 Dress Rehearsal Race Question

1. Introduction Reinterview surveys have been used extensively in census evaluations since 1940's. Reinterview surveys are designed with the objective of estimating measurement reliability, measurement bias, or both bias and reliability. For estimating reliability, a test-retest reinterview design is typically used. In a test-retest reinterview survey, a subset of the questions from the origina...

Choreography Rehearsal

We propose a methodology for statically predicting the possible interaction patterns of services within a given choreography. We focus on choreographies exploiting the event notification paradigm to manage service interactions. Control Flow Analysis techniques statically approximate which events can be delivered to match the choreography constraints and how the multicast groups can be optimised...

We have developed an ATM based telepresence environment allowing small groups of musicians that are located in different sites to rehearse as if they were present in the same room and have organized a first distributed mu...
