Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than three decades, author, speaker, and entrepreneur Merrick Rosenberg has taught America’s leading corporations how to embrace the power of personality. By replacing the alphabet soup found in personality assessments with four birds – the Eagle, Parrot, Dove, and Owl – Rosenberg has helped people understand themselves and transform their relationships with colleagues, friends, and family members. Parents and teachers have long asked: Can you teach the birds to our children? From the author of Personality Wins, The Chameleon, and Taking Flight! comes the long-awaited book for children: Which Bird Are You? Young readers join 5th graders of Galen Elementary School at Camp Discovery for adventures (and misadventures) under the guidance of their teachers, Ms. Allport and Mr. Marston. By day, the students try to overcome their personality differences to complete Ms. Allport’s team building challenges. By night, Mr. Marston tells The Bird Tale, a fantasy adventure that follows four emissaries from the Eagle, Parrot, Dove, and Owl kingdoms of Aviara. Their world faces disaster, but they are unsure of how to work together against their collective threats. The emissaries seek out the wise Chameleon Ambassador in hopes that she can teach them how to unite and save their people. Through a wild ride in Aviara and Camp Discovery, Which Bird Are You? prepares children for the lifelong journey of interacting with different personalities. Young readers learn to understand their bird style, its strengths and challenges, and the risks of overusing their personality. They also discover how to identify the bird styles of others and treat people the way they want to be treated. Will the emissaries save Aviara? Will the students learn to work together? If they can master the four questions of the Chameleon Code, they might just save the day and win it all.

Download or read book Run time Models for Self managing Systems and Applications written by Danilo Ardagna and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-11-15 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The complexity of Information Technology (IT) systems has been steadily incre- ing in the past decades. In October 2001, IBM released the “Autonomic Computing Manifesto” observing that current applications have reached the size of millions of lines of code, while physical infrastructures include thousands of heterogeneous servers requiring skilled IT professionals to install, con?gure, tune, and maintain. System complexity has been recognized as the main obstacle to the further advan- ment of IT technology. The basic idea of Autonomic Computing is to develop IT systems that are able to manage themselves, as the human autonomic nervous system governs basic body functions such as heart rate or body temperature, thus freeing the conscious brain— IT administrators—from the burden of dealing with low-level vital functions. Autonomic Computing systems can be implemented by introducing autonomic controllers which continuously monitor, analyze, plan, and execute (the famous MAPE cycle) recon?guration actions on the system components. Monitoring acti- ties are deployed to measure the workload and performance metrics of each running component so as to identify system faults. The goal of the analysis activities is to determine the status of components from the monitoring data, and to forecast - ture conditions based on historical observations. Finally, plan and execute activities aim at deciding and actuating the next system con?guration, for example, deciding whether to accept or reject new requests, determining the best application to servers assignment, in order to the achieve the self-optimization goals.

Download or read book Code Based Secret Sharing Schemes Applied Combinatorial Coding Theory written by Patrick Sole and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2022-04-11 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Secret sharing schemes form one of the most important topic in Cryptography. These protocols are used in many areas, applied mathematics, computer science, electrical engineering. A secret is divided into several pieces called shares. Each share is given to a user of the system. Each user has no information about the secret, but the secret can be retrieved by certain authorized coalition of users.This book is devoted to such schemes inspired by Coding Theory. The classical schemes of Shamir, Blakley, Massey are recalled. Survey is made of research in Combinatorial Coding Theory they triggered, mostly self-dual codes, and minimal codes. Applications to engineering like image processing, and key management of MANETs are highlighted.

Download or read book Compiler Construction written by Reinhard Wilhelm and published by Springer. This book was released on 2003-06-29 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ETAPS 2001 was the fourth instance of the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software. ETAPS is an annual federated conference that was established in 1998 by combining a number of existing and new conferences. This year it comprised ve conferences (FOSSACS, FASE, ESOP, CC, TACAS), ten satellite workshops (CMCS, ETI Day, JOSES, LDTA, MMAABS, PFM, RelMiS, UNIGRA, WADT, WTUML), seven invited lectures, a debate, and ten tutorials. The events that comprise ETAPS address various aspects of the system de- lopment process, including speci cation, design, implementation, analysis, and improvement. The languages, methodologies, and tools which support these - tivities are all well within its scope. Di erent blends of theory and practice are represented, with an inclination towards theory with a practical motivation on one hand and soundly-based practice on the other. Many of the issues involved in software design apply to systems in general, including hardware systems, and the emphasis on software is not intended to be exclusive.

Book excerpt: For fifty years, Pamela Kirrage longed to unlock the secrets of her husband’s encrypted war diary. She was on the verge of giving up when she at last found a mathematician who became as obsessed with learning the secrets of the diary as she was. After months of painstaking investigation, he was finally able to crack the code, and in the process uncover the ending to an extraordinary World War II romance. Pamela fell in love with RAF pilot Donald Hill in the summer of 1939, just a few months before he was sent to fight in Pacific. Although they planned to marry soon, Donald was captured after siege of Hong Kong and spent the next four years in a Japanese POW camp. Donald ultimately returned to Pamela, but he was never able to tell her about those lost years–and Pamela became convinced that the key to their happiness lay within the mysterious diary he brought back from the war. In The Code of Love Andro Linklater uses the decoded diary as well as extensive research and interviews to paint a vivid portrait of the World War II era, turning this dramatic love story into an inspiring, unconventional epic.

Download or read book Mindshaping written by Tadeusz Wieslaw Zawidzki and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2013-05-10 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A proposal that human social cognition would not have evolved without mechanisms and practices that shape minds in ways that make them easier to interpret. In this novel account of distinctively human social cognition, Tadeusz Zawidzki argues that the key distinction between human and nonhuman social cognition consists in our complex, diverse, and flexible capacities to shape each other's minds in ways that make them easier to interpret. Zawidzki proposes that such "mindshaping"—which takes the form of capacities and practices such as sophisticated imitation, pedagogy, conformity to norms, and narrative self-constitution—is the most important component of human social cognition. Without it, he argues, none of the other components of what he terms the "human sociocognitive syndrome," including sophisticated language, cooperation, and sophisticated "mindreading," would be possible. Challenging the dominant view that sophisticated mindreading—especially propositional attitude attribution—is the key evolutionary innovation behind distinctively human social cognition, Zawidzki contends that the capacity to attribute such mental states depends on the evolution of mindshaping practices. Propositional attitude attribution, he argues, is likely to be unreliable unless most of us are shaped to have similar kinds of propositional attitudes in similar circumstances. Motivations to mindshape, selected to make sophisticated cooperation possible, combine with low-level mindreading abilities that we share with nonhuman species to make it easier for humans to interpret and anticipate each other's behavior. Eventually, this led, in human prehistory, to the capacity to attribute full-blown propositional attitudes accurately—a capacity that is parasitic, in phylogeny and today, on prior capacities to shape minds. Bringing together findings from developmental psychology, comparative psychology, evolutionary psychology, and philosophy of psychology, Zawidzki offers a strikingly original framework for understanding human social cognition.
