Abstract:

Modèles de développement, capitalisme et industrialisme sont de grandes dynamiques du risque par leur capacité à transformer le social. Au niveau des firmes, l’innovation continue et la concurrence obligent à l’ajustement permanent. Soumises aux propriétaires, les firmes se focalisent sur le risque financier. Les autres risques lui sont subordonnés. Les dynamiques internes du risque évoluent au rythme d’impératifs externes. La compétition justifie réductions de coûts et réorganisations déstabilisantes. La sécurité a pour objectif la limitation des conditions de réalisation des risques. Constru

Abstract:

Complexity theory helps us predict and control resources, usually time and space, consumed by programs. Static analysis on specific syntactic criterion allows us to categorize some programs. A common approach is to observe the program’s data’s behavior. For instance, the detection of non-size-increasing programs is based on a simple principle : counting memory allocation and deallocation, particularly in loops. This way, we can detect programs which compute within a constant amount of space. This method can easily be expressed as property on control flow graphs. Because analyses on data’s beha

Abstract:

If it is assumed that leadership matters—that it has a legitimate effect on the outcome of a crisis, then leaders have a duty to respond to that adaptation with modifications of their own. Using literature sources, the research explores crisis complexity, crisis leadership, and alternative leadership strategies. Specifically, the research evaluates the applicability of complexity science to current crises. Having identified the manner in which crises have c

Abstract:

This thesis studies logics which express properties on programs. These logics were originally intended for the formal verification of programs with pointers. Overall, no automated verification method will be proved tractable here- rather, we give a new insight on separation logic. The complexity and decidability of some essential fragments of this logic for Hoare triples were not known before this work. Also, its combination with some other verification methods was little studied. Firstly, in this work we isolate the operator of separation logic which makes it undecidable. We describe the expr

Cooperation have in previous research been seen as a negative impact on competition and vice versa. This thesis is building on a concept called coopetition in which cooperation and competition is studied simultaneously. Coopetition have been studied in terms of the level of cooperation and competition. However, we found a possible link between coopetition and complexity in previous literature. Thus, the purpose of this study is to explore whether complexity can develop an understanding for what organizations within a company group cooperate and compete about as well what they want to coo

Abstract:

This article unpacks the notion of institutional complexity and highlights the distinct sets of challenges confronting hybrid structural arrangements. The framework identifies three factors that contribute to the experience of complexity - namely, the extent to which the prescriptive demands of logics are incompatible, whether there is a settled or widely accepted prioritization of logics within the field, and the degree to which the jurisdictions of the logics overlap. The central thesis is that these "components" of complexity variously combine to produce four distinct institutional landscap

We list various results linking parameters of basis graphs to parameters of their associated matroids. For small values of k we determine which matroids have the clique number, chromatic number, or maximum degree of their basis graphs bounded above by k. If P is a class of graphs that

Quantified Boolean Formulas (QBF) and their proof complexity are not as well understood as propositional formulas, yet remain an area of interest due to their relation to QBF solving. Proof systems for QBF provide a theoretical underpinning for the performance of these solvers. We define a novel calculus IR-calc, which enables unification of the principal existing resolution-based QBF calculi and applies to the more powerful Dependency QBF (DQBF). We completely reveal the relative power of important QBF resolution systems, settling in particular the relationship between the two different types

This thesis provides a theoretical basis for applying complexity theory to classroom learning. Existing accounts of complexity in social systems fail to adequately situate human understanding within those systems. Human understanding and action is embedded within the complex systems that we inhabit. As such, we cannot achieve a full and accurate representation of those systems. This challenges epistemological positions which characterise learning as a simple mechanistic process, those which see it as approaching a view of the world 'as it is' and also positions which see learning as a purely s

A connection is established with Moggi's categorical semantics of computations, and this connection is exploited to study complexity as a monad constructor. A formal system, the λcom-calculus, for reasoning the resource requirements of programs is developed. Operational and denotational semantics are defined for this system, and we prove

Abstract:

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 27-30, 1997 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada<br>How difficult is it to develop a pulse code modulation (PCM) stream data format? Specifically, given a size, in bits, and a set of parameter sample rates, how hard is it to find a mapping of the sample rates that fits into the frame size -- if one even exists? Using telemetry trees this paper will show that the number of possible mappings for a given set of parameters and sample rates grows exponentially in terms of the number of parameters. The problem can thus b
