Indecisive Generality
نویسنده
چکیده
When a project fails to clarify important issues, to complete the analysis, or to make clear statements where the system is meant to be extensible and where it needs to be stable, architects tend to answer the indecisiveness in a technical way: general and complex solutions. This diagnosis pattern is about the balance between making decisions and introducing variability and configurability. It shows why unmanaged complexity is a major risk to the project's success, how it creeps into a project and how to detect it. Furthermore it gives techniques how to enforce decisions and limit the generality. A note to the workshop participants Primarily I seek feedback on the completeness of the symptoms, the correctness of the causes, and the applicability and completeness of the therapies.

Geometric Computations on Indecisive and Uncertain Points
We study computing geometric problems on uncertain points. An uncertain point is a point that does not have a fixed location, but rather is described by a probability distribution. When these probability distributions are restricted to a finite number of locations, the points are called indecisive points. In particular, we focus on geometric shape-fitting problems and on building compact distri...
متن کاملApproximate Minimum Diameter
We study the minimum diameter problem for a set of inexact points. By inexact, we mean that the precise location of the points is not known. Instead, the location of each point is restricted to a continues region (Imprecise model) or a finite set of points (Indecisive model). Given a set of inexact points in one of Imprecise or Indecisive models, we wish to provide a lower-bound on the diameter...
متن کاملGeometric Computations on Indecisive Points
We study computing with indecisive point sets. Such points have spatial uncertainty where the true location is one of a finite number of possible locations. This data arises from probing distributions a few times or when the location is one of a few locations from a known database. In particular, we study computing distributions of geometric functions such as the radius of the smallest enclosin...
متن کاملIndecisiveness and response to risk in deciding when to decide
When making decisions, people must determine not only what to choose but also when to choose. Do individuals modulate behavior in response to potential risks associated with delay in determining when to choose? The present work provides evidence that at least one group of people—indecisive individuals—do not. Two process-tracing studies simulated a 5-day college-course selection period in which...
متن کاملIndecisive Condition Classification Using SVM
In this research, we exploit the regularize framework and proposed an associative classification algorithm for uncertain data. The major recompense of SVM(support vector machine) are: recurrent item sets capture every dominant associations between items in a dataset. These classifiers naturally handle missing values and outliers as they only deal with statistically significant associations whic...
