A few conventions for thinking about and writing quantum pseu-docode are proposed. The conventions can be used for presenting any quantum algorithm down to the lowest level and are consistent with a quantum random access machine (QRAM) model for quantum computing. In principle a formal version of quantum pseudocode could be used in a future extension of a conventional language. Note: This repor...

The mathematical modeling conventions known collectively as the Discrete Event System Specification (DEVS) can be used to specify models of essentially any system that varies in time. But when DEVS is used for implementation, as opposed to specification, practical considerations such as convenience, efficiency, and repeatability motivate various changes to the original conventions. Here we disc...

At the start of Convention (1969) Lewis says that it is "a platitude that language is ruled by convention" and that he proposes to give us "an analysis of convention in its full generality, including tacit convention not created by agreement." Almost no clause, however, of Lewis's analysis has withstood the barrage of counter examples over the years, and a glance at the big dictionary suggests ...
