Common conceptual metaphors are used in poetry, as part of the metaphor theory, that enables poets to express their poetic images and depict world through a mixture language cultural codes. This study is an attempt show how illustrated Kurdish poems by analysing source target domains. According domain which emerges from domain, generally our common knowledge world. leads speakers listeners easi...

a hierarchy of information processing is proposed, with the provisionally highest level being the symbolic reasoning that distinguishes humans from animals. This level is based on an abstract language of thought or “code”, consisting of concepts represented by symbols and a syntactical mechanism for combining these concepts into new expressions. The main shortcoming of this conceptual-symbolic ...

GQM+Strategies is an approach that aligns the business goals at each level of an organization to strategies to achieve overall business goals and assesses the achievement of such goals. Strategies are extracted from business goals based on rationales (contexts and assumptions). Using the proposed approach, which refines the GQM+Strategies model by extracting rationales based on the analysis of ...

The isomorphism problem is neither known to be NP-complete nor polynomial. Yet it is crucial for managing large conceptual graph sets. In order to speed up the conceptual graph isomorphism test, we associate to graphs a textual code that is invariant under isomorphism: a structural or ltering code. The structural code of a given graph is based on the computation by a structural function of an i...

This report details the actual concrete architecture of Firefox; specifically the JavaScript interpreter, the XML parser and display backend components. The architecture extracted from the code did not follow the rigid boundaries of the conceptual architecture. After some investigation code modules were grouped together to try and recreate the conceptual layers. This was a difficult task becaus...

To achieve overall business goals, GQM+Strategies® is an approach that aligns the business goals at each level of an organization to strategies and assesses the achievement of goals. Strategies derived from business goals are based on rationales (context factors and assumptions). Because extracting all rationales is an important process in the GQM+Strategies approach, we propose Context-Assumpt...
