of Prof. Yau's lecture, Monday, April 2 [with additional references and remarks] (for people who missed the lecture) A geometric structure on a manifold is a cover by coordinate systems [a " sub-atlas " ] in which the transition functions from one coordinate system to another are not arbitrary mappings but rather belong to some specific set of mappings from (open subsets of) Euclidean space to ...

propose: the stratification of iranian knowledge and information science academic member in viewpoint of presence and effectiveness and scientific and professional performance are the main aims of this article. methodology: in this applied research, descriptive survey and webometrics methods were implemented. the research population included the iranian knowledge and information science academi...

Almost all of his students were older than him! Through intellect and hard work, he made rapid academic progress, and was appointed as Professor of Psychology in 1988. While at Birkbeck, he was appointed the Ronald Tress Prize for advancements in his field, the first of many such awards. During his time in Birkbeck an equally important step in his life was made by meeting his wife Jane. Both of...

My research is primarily concerned with problems related to the theoretical aspects of the analysis and design of algorithms. Although I have studied many classical problems including those that can be found in standard textbook in algorithms (for example, string matching [16, 25, 34, 35], k-connectivity problems in graphs [9, 18, 20], and the problem of finding an optimum order of multiplying ...

Lawrence C. Paulson is Professor of Computational Logic at the University of Cambridge, where he has held established posts since 1983. One of his main activities is developing proof tools. His early work made fundamental contributions to Prof. M. J. C. Gordon’s proof assistant, HOL. In 1986, Paulson introduced Isabelle, a generic proof assistant. Isabelle supports higher-order logic (HOL), Zer...

Failure can be defined, in general, as an event that does not accomplish its intended purpose. Failure of a material component is the loss of ability to function normally. Components of a system can fail one of many ways, for example excessive deformation, fracture, corrosion, burning-out, degradation of specific properties (thermal, electrical, or magnetic), etc. Failure of components, especia...

Predictability is of paramount concern for hard real-time systems. In one approach to predictability, every aspect of a real-time system and every primitive provided by the underlying operating system must be bounded and predictable in order to achieve overall predictability. In this paper, we describe several concurrency control synchronization mechanisms developed for a next generation multip...
