Behavior of the delta algorithm of autonomic switch between two component implementations is considered on several examples of a client-server systems involving, in particular, periodic change of intensities of requests for the component. It is shown that in the cases of some specific combinations of elementary requests costs, the number of clients in the system, the number of requests per unit...

This paper presents the analysis of a dataset of publications in economics that makes use of simulations. Data are explored in order to obtain information about diffusion of simulation techniques in time and across sub-disciplines. Moreover, following Robert Axelrod's concerns about the difficulties in sharing simulation models and their outputs, some peculiarities in the communication process ...

We report on the creation of a Modern Greek broadcast-news corpus as a pre-requisite to build a large-vocabulary continuous-speech recognition system. We discuss lexical modelling with respect to pronuciation generation and examine the effects of the lexicon size on word accuracies. Peculiarities of Modern Greek as a highly inflectional language and their challenges for speech recognition are d...
