We present a method to incorporate target-language syntax in the form of Combinatory Categorial Grammar in the Hierarchical Phrase-Based MT system. We adopt the approach followed by Syntax Augmented Machine Translation (SAMT) to attach syntactic categories to nonterminals in hierarchical rules, but instead of using constituent grammar, we take advantage of the rich syntactic information and fle...

Halpern and Moses [Halpern & Moses, 84] define and characterize what a minimal epistemic state associated to a set of premises is, using the notions of stable set and S5Kripke models. Based on such epistemic states, Halpern and Moses define an entailment relation with which one can infer what is known and, more importantly, what is unknown by an agent. In this paper we formulate an extension of...

Architecting software systems according to the service-oriented paradigm, and designing runtime self-adaptable systems are two relevant research areas in today’s software engineering. In this chapter we present MOSES, a software platform supporting QoS-driven adaptation of service-oriented systems. It has been conceived for service-oriented systems architected as composite services that receive...

The Asian International Input-Output (IO) Table that is compiled by Institute of Developing Economies –JETRO (IDE), was constructed in Isard type form. Thus, it required a lot of time to publish. In order to avoid this time-lag problem and establish a more simple compilation technique, this paper concentrates on verifying the possibility of using the Chenery-Moses type estimation technique. If ...

We investigate phrase-based statistical machine translation between English and Urdu, two Indo-European languages that differ significantly in their word-order preferences. Reordering of words and phrases is thus a necessary part of the translation process. While local reordering is modeled nicely by phrase-based systems, long-distance reordering is known to be a hard problem. We perform experi...

The order in which user stories are implemented can have a significant influence on the overall development cost. The total cost of developing a system is non commutative because of dependencies between user stories. This paper presents a systematic and lightweight method to identify dependencies between user stories, aiding in the reduction of their impact on the overall project cost. Initial ...

In this paper, necessary and sufficient conditions are stated for the Craig-Sakamoto equation det(I − sA − tB) = det(I − sA)det(I − tB) to hold for all scalars s, t ∈ C. Moreover, spectral properties for matrices A and B that satisfy this equation are investigated.

The concept of development as freedom can be seen as an expansion process of real freedoms people enjoy, associated with their freedom of choices in social, political and economical spheres. Certain international agencies propose that Information and Communication Technology (ICT) allow this development to be reached more efficiently and quickly. While there are success stories galore, there is...
