This paper presents PLATO, an analytical technique to model the performance in all-optical packet-switched networks with various topologies and node architectures. Using this technique, we propose a two-part algorithm, incorporating mathematical analysis and a numeric method, to model the network’s traffic flow and the local packet-loss probability inside each node. The PLATO technique has demo...

Modern web forms interact with the user in real-time by detecting errors and filling-in implied values, which in terms of automated reasoning amounts to SAT solving and theorem proving. This paper presents PLATO, a compiler that automatically generates web forms that detect errors and fill-in implied values from declarative web form descriptions. Instead of writing HTML and JavaScript directly,...

Little about Aristotle's chapter on the voluntariness of character (NE iii 5) is uncontroversial.l Some arguments Aristotle deploys are on their face formally invalid; the position he appears to defend has seemed so absufd that commentators have felt obliged to rescue him from it. Thus we find Susan Sauvd Meyer, Randall Curren, and Jean Roberts, amon&others, arguing that despite appearances Ari...

This document contains the first iteration for a design for recommender systems in the preservation planning tool Plato. The integration of such support systems shall reduce the effort needed to create a preservation plan and enable preservation planning for less experienced users. . Keyword list Recommender Systems, Collaborative Filtering, Content-based Filtering, Preservation Planning, Plato...

Pivotal trials on antithrombotic regimens in coronary artery disease have been performed with huge patient cohorts; in CURE, 12 562 patients were randomized, TRITON-TIMI 38 included 13 608 patients, and PLATO 18 624 patients. Such databases provide an extraordinary opportunity to study a treatment effect in several subgroups of patients which—although subsets—still consist of thousands of patie...

This paper examines preservation planning as it is implemented within the National Library’s preservation repository (Rosetta) and compares it directly to the PLATO tool created as part of the PLANETS project. Preservation planning is both a business precondition and the systematic framework defining any preservation action. At the National Library of New Zealand Te Puna Mātauranga o Aotearoa, ...
