A cross-cultural study was conducted with managers from the United States and China to investigate differences in influence behavior. Managers rated the effectiveness of different influence tactics for several representative situations. Significant differences were found between American and Chinese managers in a large, multinational company with facilities in both countries. The results were r...

We examine seller tactics in 1177 eBay auctions. The largest volume sellers make rather homogeneous choices; smaller sellers are more heterogeneous. Some tactics, such as starting the auction with a ‘Buy it Now’ offer, appear to increase revenue. Perhaps due to intense competition, however, the overall impact of most tactics appears to be quite small. The main exception is the use of a secret r...

Algorithm synthesis transforms a formal specification into an efficient algorithm to solve a problem. Algorithm synthesis in Specware combines the formal speicifcation of a problem with a highlevel algorithm strategy. To derive an efficient algorithm, a developer must define operators that refine the algorithm by combining the generic operators in the algorithm with the details of the problem s...

We introduce ProverBot9000, a state-of-the-art tool for proof automation and assistance. ProverBot9000 examines partially finished Coq proofs and proposes tactics to make progress on the proof. It generates these tactics using a neural network-based language model of Ltac. ProverBot9000 is trained on human-generated proofs so it suggests tactics that human experts are likely to use in a given p...

We present a comprehensive set of tactics for working with a shallow embedding of a higher-order separation logic for a subset of Java in Coq. The tactics make it possible to reason at a level of abstraction similar to pen-and-paper separation-logic proof outlines. In particular, the tactics allow the user to reason in the embedded logic rather than in the concrete model, where the stacks and h...

This paper discusses the relationship between transformational programming and theorem proving. It illustrates the use of the theorem proving environment as a basis for a program construction tool DEBATE 1 (Deduction Based Transformational Environment) which is under construction in University College Dublin. Using a theorem proving framework directly would require the user to be familiar with ...

This study aims to produce a product development model for football attack tactics training at an early age and increase the effectiveness of ability during competitions. research is carried out by adapting steps. method begins with needs analysis developing characteristics that match results test conducted SSB Mahardika. Data were analyzed descriptive quantitative on rating scale. The number-b...
