Computerspiele transportieren Geschichtsbilder und regen zur Diskussion über Geschichte an – allerdings nur dann, wenn Geschichte Teil der Spielmechaniken ist, und nicht allein die Kulisse, vor der die Handlung spielt.

This chapter is based on the work of the Open Graves, Open Minds: Vampires and the Undead in Modern Culture Research Project at the University of Hertfordshire. The project relates the undead in literature, art, and other ...

Stream-based Coordination is a promising approach to execute programs on parallel hardware such as multi-core systems. It allows to reuse sequential code at component level and to extend such code with concurrency-handling ...

Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are typically sys- tems with services of mixed criticality. For different criticali- ties of systems, different progress models and communication types have been developed, depending whether ...

The paper develops a Petri net model of a negative feedback oscillator, Case 2a from Tyson et al. (Curr. Opin. Cell Biol. 15, 221–231, 2003), in order to be able to perform the holonomy decomposition of the automaton derived ...

The paper addresses the computation of the information-theoretic empowerment measure for a simplified vertical plane dynamic model of an eFolaga autonomous underwater vehicle. Empowerment can be used to measure how much ...

If iconicity is about being recognizable, then Philippe Starck’s Juicy Salif lemon squeezer is a quintessentially iconic design. Its unique shape has not been seen before or since, even though it is imbued with multiple ...

I argue from the an identity theory of the mind (with the brain) plus the irreducibility of qualia to a neutral monist position about matter throughout the universe.

The comparison between observational abundance features and those obtained from nucleosynthesis predictions of stellar evolution and/or explosion simulations can scrutinize two aspects: (a) the conditions in the astrophysical ...
