Option Pricing: A Simplified Approach

by John C. Cox, Stephen A. Ross, Mark Rubinstein - Journal of Financial Economics , 1979
"... This paper presents a simple discrete-time model for valumg optlons. The fundamental econonuc principles of option pricing by arbitrage methods are particularly clear In this setting. Its development requires only elementary mathematics, yet it contains as a special limiting case the celebrated Blac ..."

Discovery of Grounded Theory

by Barney G. Glaser, Judith Holton , 1967
"... Abstract: This paper outlines my concerns with Qualitative Data Analysis ’ (QDA) numerous remodelings of Grounded Theory (GT) and the subsequent eroding impact. I cite several examples of the erosion and summarize essential elements of classic GT methodology. It is hoped that the article will clarif ..."

will clarify my concerns with the continuing enthusiasm but misunderstood embrace of GT by QDA methodologists and serve as a preliminary guide to novice researchers who wish to explore the fundamental principles of GT. Key words: grounded theory, qualitative data analysis, constant comparative method

Beyond pleasure and pain

by E. Tory Higgins - American Psychologist , 1997
"... People approach pleasure and avoid pain. To discover the true nature of approach-avoidance motivation, psychologists need to move beyond this hedonic principle to the principles that underlie the different ways that it operates. One such principle is regulatory focus, which distinguishes self-regula ..."

-regulation with a promotion focus (accomplishments and aspirations)from self-regulation with a prevention focus (safety and responsibilities). This principle is used to reconsider the fundamental nature of approach-avoidance, expectancy-value relations, and emotional and evaluative sensitivities. Both types

A Comparative Analysis of Methodologies for Database Schema Integration

by C. Batini, M. Lenzerini, S. B. Navathe - ACM COMPUTING SURVEYS , 1986
"... One of the fundamental principles of the database approach is that a database allows a nonredundant, unified representation of all data managed in an organization. This is achieved only when methodologies are available to support integration across organizational and application boundaries. Metho ..."

Intelligence Without Representation

by Rodney Brooks - Artificial Intelligence , 1991
"... Artificial intelligence research has foundered on the issue of representation. When intelligence is approached in an incremental manner, with strict reliance on interfacing to the real world through perception and action, reliance on representation disappears. In this paper we outline our approach t ..."

to incrementally building complete intelligent Creatures. The fundamental decomposition of the intelligent system is not into independent information processing units which must interface with each other via representations. Instead, the intelligent system is decomposed into independent and parallel activity

Recognition-by-components: A theory of human image understanding

by Irving Biederman - Psychological Review , 1987
"... The perceptual recognition of objects is conceptualized to be a process in which the image of the input is segmented at regions of deep concavity into an arrangement of simple geometric components, such as blocks, cylinders, wedges, and cones. The fundamental assumption of the proposed theory, recog ..."

Tabu Search -- Part I

by Fred Glover , 1989
"... This paper presents the fundamental principles underlying tabu search as a strategy for combinatorial optimization problems. Tabu search has achieved impressive practical successes in applications ranging from scheduling and computer channel balancing to cluster analysis and space planning, and more ..."

The Small-World Phenomenon: An Algorithmic Perspective

by Jon Kleinberg - in Proceedings of the 32nd ACM Symposium on Theory of Computing , 2000
"... Long a matter of folklore, the “small-world phenomenon ” — the principle that we are all linked by short chains of acquaintances — was inaugurated as an area of experimental study in the social sciences through the pioneering work of Stanley Milgram in the 1960’s. This work was among the first to m ..."

Features of similarity.

by Amos Tversky - Psychological Review , 1977
"... Similarity plays a fundamental role in theories of knowledge and behavior. It serves as an organizing principle by which individuals classify objects, form concepts, and make generalizations. Indeed, the concept of similarity is ubiquitous in psychological theory. It underlies the accounts of stimu ..."

The Data Grid: Towards an Architecture for the Distributed Management and Analysis of Large Scientific Datasets

by Ann Chervenak , Ian Foster, Carl Kesselman, Charles Salisbury, Steven Tuecke - JOURNAL OF NETWORK AND COMPUTER APPLICATIONS , 1999
"... In an increasing number of scientific disciplines, large data collections are emerging as important community resources. In this paper, we introduce design principles for a data management architecture called the Data Grid. We describe two basic services that we believe are fundamental to the des ..."
