Musing about acronyms

Part 3 : All About the Acronyms 1 All About the Acronyms : RJ , DJ , DDJ , ISI , DCD , PJ , SJ , ...

Jitter analysis is yet another field of engineering that is pock-marked with acronyms. Each category and type of jitter has its own acronym and every one of them gives insight into problems that limit the bit error ratio of a system. In this paper, we define the categories and types of jitter, their origins and interrelationships, and how they can be used to diagnose and debug system hardware. ...

A (acronyms)

Acronyms are a significant and the most dynamic area of the lexicon of many languages. Building automated acronym systems poses two problems: acquisition and disambiguation. Acronym acquisition is based on the identification of anaphoric or cataphoric expressions which introduce the meaning of an acronym in text; acronym disambiguation is a word sense disambiguation task, with expansions of an ...

A (Cybernetic) Musing: Control, Variety and Addiction

In contrast, I have reported, on several occasions, on cases that originate in the cybernetic literature and with the grand old men (yes, I’m afraid, men) of cybernetics, who have discussed systems that are in essence uncontrollable. And there is, in my opinion, a medical predicament that is best dealt with not by controlling it but by giving up all attempts at control—which is the new element ...

A (Cybernetic) Musing: Design and Cybernetics

In 1969, Gordon Pask published a paper that explicitly proposed a vital connection between cybernetics and architecture. “The Architectural Relevance of Cybernetics” (Pask, 1969) was one outcome of an extraordinary series of debates and presentations centred around the theme of limits to science presented at the Architectural Association School of Architecture (AA) in London. The proceedings we...
