Real-time simultaneous translation is a demanding task. The translator must translate partial sentences before knowing how the sentence will end. Computational approaches to do this difficult, important task are limited because we lack a quantitative understanding of the tactics simultaneous translators use. We study characteristics of interpreted text and translated text through an automatic, ...

This essay examines the results of a pilot study undertaken at George Mason University as a joint effort between the Psychology Department and the Institute for Conflict Analysis and Resolution. The authors discuss the task of behavioralizing tactics commonly used in conflict situations, defining particular conflict styles often used by participants in conflicts, and the ability of the particip...

Experience has shown that poor strategy or bad tactics adopted when planning a software project influence the final quality of that product, even when the whole development process is undertaken with a quality approach. This paper addresses the quality attributes of the strategy and tactics of the software project plan that should be in place in order to deliver a good software product. It pres...

Epaminondas is a two-person, zero-sum strategy game that combines long-term strategic play with highly tactical move sequences. The game has two unique features that make it stand out from other games. The first feature is the creation of phalanxes, which are groups of pieces that can move as a whole unit. As the number of pieces in a phalanx increases, the mobility and capturing power of the p...

Systemic change is universally desirable and poorly defined. This article seeks to refine a practitioner-developed framework – Adopt-Adapt-Expand-Respond (AAER) for conceptualising systemic change, offers case studies demonstrate its utility in planning measuring such change. To do so, the firstly define nature of system components within that system. It also discusses relevance behaviour among...

This presentation reviews the results of an investigation into a process for developing asymmetric tactics in support for small unit training. Some have argued that asymmetric tactics are something outside of our normal understanding. This work disagrees with that assertion. We postulated that any force would prefer to achieve their strategic objectives through quick, decisive operations. Force...

In various cases of using talents, the tactics in using talents win special attentions and stresses of politicians, thinkers, militarists, strategists, scholars and even common people in generations. This paper has put forward the system of tactics in using talents, and generalized the core content to nine aspects, namely self-using, observation, selection and recommendation, integrated using, ...

An experiment is a test that involves manipulating some factor in a system in order to see how that affects the outcome. Ideally, experiments also involve controlling as many other factors as possible in order to isolate the cause of the experimental results. Experiments can be quite simple tests set up in a lab—like rolling a ball down different inclines to see how the angle affects the rollin...

This article is devoted to the tactical game theoretical interpretation of dialectics. Dialectical games are considered as abstractly as well as models of the internal dialogue and reflection. The models related to the representation theory (representative dynamics) are specially investigated in detail, they correlate with the hypothesis on the dialectical features of human thinking in general ...
