CamIL: Un compilateur Objective Caml vers .NET

We present a first version of our Objective Caml compiler, called OCamIL, for .NET. Our goal is to understand whether this new generation of virtual machines and runtime environment can help us compile ML programs and produce executables of reasonable efficiency. Our main constraint is to be compatible with the original language, and its advanced programming features (functional values, excepti...

Quis Custodiet Ipsos Custodes? Civilian Control over the Military

In The Republic, Plato posed an essential problem of the state. Having suggested that a guardian class be nominated to protect the polity, the key question was “who will guard the guards?”(Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?). Plato’s proposed solution to the problem was based on inculcating values so that the guardians would develop a distaste for power, maintaining the integrity of civilian rule. ...

Efficient Selection of Design Parameters in Multi-Objective Economic-Statistical Model of Attribute C Control Chart

Control chart is the most well-known chart to monitor the number of nonconformities per inspection unit where each sample consists of constant size. Generally, the design of a control chart requires determination of sample size, sampling interval, and control limits width. Optimally selecting these parameters depends on several process parameters, which have been considered from statistical and...

The Control Parametrization Enhancing Technique for Multi-Objective Optimal Control of HIV Dynamic

In this paper‎, ‎a computational approach is adopted for solving a multi-objective optimal control problem (MOOCP) formulation of optimal drug scheduling in human immunodeficiency (HIV) virus infected by individuals‎. ‎The MOOCP‎, ‎which uses a mathematical model of HIV infection‎, ‎has some incompatible objectives‎. ‎The objectives are maximizing the survival time of patients‎, ‎the level of D...
