We describe the history and results of our study of early-type disk galaxies with the Multi-Pupil Spectrograph of the 6m telescope (MPFS). With the new data we confirm the discovery of chemically distinct nuclei reported in 1992; now such nuclei are found in two dozens galaxies. The structure of chemically distinct features formed probably in secondary nuclear star-formation bursts seems to be ...

They are rapidly emerging as a practical and important software development paradigm. A product line succeeds because companies can exploit their software products’ commonalities to achieve economies of production. The Software Engineering Institute’s ...

Software product lines have received increasing amounts of attention within the software engineering community, especially from industry. Most authors focus on the technical and process aspects and assume an organizational model consisting of a domain engineering unit and several application engineering units. In our cooperation with several software development organizations applying software ...

Dear Reader, This is the second issue of the MoVES newsletter. MoVES stands for “Modelling, Verification and Evolution of Software” and addresses these fundamental issues in software engineering. The project is sponsored by the Belgian government (belspo IAP programme). Each issue of the newsletter presents a partner and a work package. This issue presents results and ongoing research ofWork Pa...
