The effective usages of computational resources are a primary concern of up-to-date distributed applications. In this paper, we present a methodology to reason about resource usages (acquisition, release, revision, ...), and therefore the proposed approach enables to predict bad usages of resources. Keeping in mind the interplay between local and global information occurring in the application-...

there is a quotation in the holy quran (21:105) from the book of psalms: “the righteous shall inherit the earth”. a similar sentence can be found in psalm (37:29). a comparison between these verses would illustrate that “salih” is the quranic equivalent of the hebrew word “saddiq”. this equivalence would allow us to compare usages of “salih” in quran and “saddiq” in the book of psalms. this com...

Basic color terms were originally defined by Berlin and Kay based on linguistic definitions and refer to a subset of color expressions that are universal across languages. In this paper, we investigate and report that basic color terms demonstrate much stronger statistical characteristics that differentiate them from other color words. We introduce a probabilistic interpretation of color naming...

The Modelica language is currently gaining increased interest, both in industry and in academia. Modelica is an object-oriented, general purpose modeling language, targeted at modeling of complex physical systems. While the main usage of models developed in Modelica is simulation, several other usages emerge. Examples of such usages are dynamic optimization, model reduction, calibration, verifi...

We study the annotation of the Prague Dependency Treebank 2.0 (PDT 2.0) and assemble a list of requirements on a query language that would allow searching for and studying all linguistic phenomena annotated in the treebank. We propose an extension to the query language of an existing search tool Netgraph 1.0 and show that the extended query language satisfies the list of requirements. We demons...

The analysis of uses of the nonconventional interactivity, suggested by the netart, / allows to seize a destabilized desire to act. Actually, the netsurfers assert an interactive posture according to hypermediatic standards. However, they are not restricted to react to the online proposals, they grope, looking for reference marks and engage in interpretations, criticisms, as well of technologie...
