Our case-based reasoning (CBI~) integration with the constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) formalism has undergone several transformations on its journey from initial research idea to product-intent design. Both unexpected research results as well as interesting insights into the real-world applicability of the integrated methodology emerged as the integration was explored from alternative view...

During the twentieth century, Catholic theology moved to reject misuse of imaginaries afterlife. By insisting on a de-cosmologization “last things”, theologians endorsed Christocentric eschatology. However, physical material view remains dominant in popular perception afterworld. Recently, some authors have engaged reevaluation role imagination. In eschatology as well, several assert need for m...

This paper will compare two of the most prominent mystics of Islam and Hinduism on what may be called the “end of the mystical journey,” or mokśa in Hindu spirituality and fanā in Islamic mysticism. The interpretations of these two mystics are naturally developed according to their own epistemological and ontological bases. Thus, referring to their most significant principles ...

muslim mystics have turned to political issues relying on both unity and plurality criteria.  they have explained the characteristics of a mystic politician emphasizing the necessity of mysticism for politicians and even the necessity of politics for mystics. taking a social viewpoint, the early sufis, paid a particular attention to this important matter in their speech and behavior, and invite...

This paper demonstrates an application of Conceptual Graphs (CGs) in the area of software engineering. We employ CGs as a meta-representation language to enhance consistency checking within a multiperspective development environment, i.e. one which employs and utilises a number of ViewPoints. We have built a ViewPoint-based prototype called the √iewer+CG to show such application of CGs. A ViewP...

In this paper, we propose a robust and efficient method to integrate the multi-view panoramic range data using the global features acquired from panorama range data. In our approach, the planes with similar normal vectors are handled as one group, and multiple plane groups are extracted from the multi-view panoramic range data. Next, the transformation ( r e tation and translation) parameters b...

Exacerbated consumerist lifestyles damage the social and environmental fabric. In times of crisis, socio-cultural phenomena such as reality show “Keeping Up with Kardashians” have potential to numb socio-environmental awareness feed “consumerist culture” global North “throwaway South. Television other media could build bridges between opposing realities. However, suffering is made invisible in ...

Viewpoints concept could be considered one of the major concepts introduced in the software engineering domain in order to enhance the architectural organization of complex systems by separating its concerns. Despite his ultimate importance, this concept must be evolved and hierarchized in order to allow the jump of software architectures field from its current range of complexity coverage and ...
