Abstract Presented idea provides geometric interpretation of particles within a geometric theory of fields. This could include the interactions in the models of Quantum mechanics.

This paper factors out the common denominator underlying these variants: full decoupling of the communicating entities in time, space, and synchronization. We use these three decoupling dimensions to better identify commonalities and divergences with traditional interaction paradigms. The many

vital interface between global policies in the economic, social and environmental spheres and national action. The Department works in three main interlinked areas: (i) it compiles, generates and analyses a wide range of economic, social and environmental data and information on which Member States

the administrative and technical knowledge to create information needed for decision-making. Software which mediates is common today, but the structure, the interfaces, and implementations vary greatly, so that automation of integration is awkward. By formalizing and implementing mediation we establish a partitioned

The TRANSFAC database on transcription factors, their binding sites, nucleotide distribution matrices and regulated genes as well as the complementing database TRANSCompel on composite elements have been further enhanced on various levels. A new web interface with different search options

We present the current status of the NLOLIB framework which provides an interface to various higher order perturbative calculations, thus allowing for simple comparisons of these calculations with each other and with measured

can be evaluated at different granularity. However, existing simulators suffer from a lack of interoperability and portability making the comparison of research results extremely difficult. To overcome this problem, we present an approach for a generic application interface for discrete-event P2P

Automatic performance tools must of course be tested as to whether they perform their task correctly. Because performance tools are meta-programs, tool testing is more complex than ordinary program testing, and comprises at least three aspects. First, it must be ensured that the tools do neither alter the semantics nor distort the runtime behavior of the application under investigation. Next, it must be verified that the tools collect the correct performance data as required by their specification. Finally, it must be checked that the tools indeed perform their intended tasks: For badly performing applications, relevant performance problems must be detected and reported, and, on the other hand, tools should not diagnose performance problems for well-tuned programs without such problems. In short, performance tools should be semantics-preserving, complete and correct. Focusing on the correctness aspect, testing can be done by using synthetic test functions with controllable performance properties, and/or real world applications with known performance behavior. A systematic test suite can be built from such functions and other components, possibly with the help of tools to assist the user in putting the pieces together into executable test programs. Clearly, such a test suite can be highly useful to builders of performance analysis tools, such as the members of the APART working group, who currently pursue a variety of tool development projects. It is surprising that
