How to achieve composability?

In systemsand software architecting, architecture can be viewed as a highlevel design that supports the construction of ICT-systems. Starting from a list of general requirements, the first part of this chapter gives an overview of the dimensions of such a design. In addition, the various, often contradicting, architectural views that are relevant for the various stakeholders are discussed. Spec...

If we are going to teach graduate students how to teach ...

It is increasingly being recognized that the teaching of physiology (actually all of the biomedical disciplines) in graduate and professional programs is being done by individuals with no formal training as teachers (6). While this is certainly not the only, or perhaps even not the major, cause of the current crisis in medical education, improvements in teaching physiology must ultimately come ...

How Should We Teach Simulation ?

This paper deals with the issue of how one can teach simulation in the most time-efficient way. We first distinguish between different types of student as regards their background and future needs. We next look at reasons for studying simulation at a business school. Next we compare animation oriented simulators with simulation languages. We then study a list of desirable criteria for simulatio...

How do climbing fibers teach?

Four decades ago, Marr and Albus suggested that the climbing fiber (CF) pathway from the inferior olive (IO) to the cerebellum instructs the cellular changes necessary for motor learning (Marr, 1969; Albus, 1971). Subsequent work has confirmed that CFs can drive specific forms of associative motor learning (Gilbert and Thach, 1977; Mauk et al., 1986; Raymond et al., 1996; Jirenhed et al., 2007;...
