Autonomic computing (AC) is an intelligent computing approach that autonomously carries out robotic and interactive applications based on goaland inference-driven mechanisms. This chapter attempts to explore the theoretical foundations and technical paradigms of AC. It reviews the historical development that leads to the transition from imperative computing to AC. It surveys transdisciplinary t...

Over the last three decades the program transformation methodology has been proved to be a powerful technique for deriving programs from specifications, verifying program properties, specializing programs w.r.t. their context of use, and deriving more efficient program versions from less efficient ones. The transformation methodology has been first proposed in the area of functional programming...

decentralisation continues to re-appear in health system reform across the world. evaluation of these reforms reveals how research on decentralisation continues to evolve. in this paper, we examine the theoretical foundations and empirical references which underpin current approaches to studying decentralisation in health systems.

the aim of this study is to analysis and identify the methodological, conceptual and structural approaches to the fundamental transformative documents of iranian general education system. to achieve this goal, a thematic method with a qualitative analysis approach was used, in order to gather the data and identify themes, theoretical foundations of transformation document, fundamental document ...

In our previous research we have constructed theoretical foundations for automated approach that can determine information system subsystems execution and development order according to data class interactions. In this paper, we will, from those theoretical foundations, develop C# algorithm through which we can see its real time behavior and calculate complexity. Finally, after algorithm analys...

the capitalism free market system is a system that has gone beyond the ideal level and has realized in all over the world. although it has some achievement for mankind, it has lost its function due to its role in destruction of environment. the theoretical bases of this system are lead to this negative operation. the islam universal system is an ideal system that its theoretical bases, that are...
