Building on previous research figure self-translator, issues power monolingual paradigm, analyzes Luigi Pirandello’s Tutto per bene from Italian into Sicilian. The case study begins with an outline sociolinguistic c...

Linear programming and constraint propagation are complementary techniques with the potential for in tegration to bene t the solution of combinatorial op timization problems Attempts to combine them have mainly focused on incorporating either technique into the framework of the other traditional models have been left intact We argue that a rethinking of our modeling traditions is necessary to a...

This paper addresses the problem of bandwidth allocation in ATM networks. Users are assumed to place a bene t on the bandwidth they are assigned by the network. The network constraints are used to derive prices for the bandwidths which induce users to share the limited network resources according to their bene t functions. This formulation leads to a distributed pricing algorithm, which is inte...

Software pipelining is a compile-time scheduling technique that overlaps successive loop iterations to expose operation-level parallelism. An important problem with the development of e ective software pipelining algorithms is how to handle loops with conditional branches. Conditional branches increase the complexity and decrease the e ectiveness of software pipelining algorithms by introducing...

Empirically, managers bene…t from their …rm’s good fortune through their compensation package, and by trading their …rm’s securities.

This paper integrates the distributive politics literature with the literature on decentralization by incorporating inter-regional project externalities into a standard model of distributive policy. A key ...nding is that the degree of uniformity (or “universalism”) of the provision of regional projects is endogenous, and depends on the strength of the externality. The welfare bene...ts of dece...

The rapid evolution of Design Patterns has hampered the beneets gained from using Design Patterns. The increase in the number of Design Patterns makes a common vocabulary unmanageable, and the tracing problem obscures the documentation that should be enhanced by using Design Patterns. We present an analysis of Design Patterns that will strongly reduce the number of Fundamental Design Patterns a...
