security has been the most important issue in relations between turkey and the european :union:. turkish leaders have always tried to link their own security concerns with those of the :union:, trying to portray their country as net security provider to the eu. the european :union: in its new security strategy has tried to expand its security zone outside the eu, defining issues such as terrori...

in recent years, biotechnology has provided the possibility of creating genetically modified (gm) organisms by transferring genes from sources such as viruses, bacteria, animals, and plants into usually unrelated species. this ability to overcome insurmountable physiological barriers by exchanging genetic materials among all living organisms is a double-edged sword. on the one hand, it allows t...

walking has always been the most natural, the oldest, and the most essential form of transportation and is still major form of moving, hence, it plays a vital rule in urban transportation. in fact, walking is the most important tool for seeing, being seen, observing city wide daily and social activities, discovering the values and hidden attractions in urban environment, and therefore, feeling ...

Separation of concerns is accepted as introducing numerous benefits into software development and maintenance. In this position paper, we argue for a method that introduces separation of concerns into product line software engineering. The method covers the complete product line life cycle and integrates the different concerns expressed at the different product line life cycle stages.

We expect that multiscale simulations will be one of the main high performance computing workloads in the exascale era. We propose multiscale computing patterns as a generic vehicle to realise load balanced, fault tolerant and energy aware high performance multiscale computing. Multiscale computing patterns should lead to a separation of concerns, whereby application developers can compose mult...

Replication and distributed communication are usually tightly coupled. This code tangling forbids their independent reuse and adaptation. In this position paper the problems resulting from coupling replication with distributed communication are discussed. In addition, a solution based on separation of concerns is proposed. The abstractions for each concern are presented as well as their composi...

In Web-based information commerce it is diffcult to disentangle presentation from process logic, and sometimes even data is not separate from the presentation. Consequently, it becomes crucial to define an abstract model for business processes and their mapping into an active user interface presentation, using the principle of separation of concern. We endeavor to extend XSLT to accommodate the...

Abstract programming supports the separation of logical concerns from issues of control in program construction. While this separation of concerns leads to reduced code size and increased reusability of code, its main disadvantage is the computational overhead it incurs. Fusion techniques can be used to combine the reusability of abstract programs with the efficiency of specialized programs.pro...

An approach to software development problems is presented, and illustrated by an example. The approach is based on the ideas of problem frames and structuring speci cations by views. It is claimed that decompositions obtained by this approach result in a more e ective separation of concerns, and that the resulting components are more likely to be reusable than those obtained by more conventiona...

The functional decomposition of a business process breaks it down into progressively less granular activities. Decomposition contributes to the modular design of a system, the reuse of its parts and to its overall comprehensibility. But achieving these qualities requires a business process to be decomposed consistently, which implies it is always split into an identical set of activities accord...
