L'auteur tente de démontrer l'ambivalence fondamentale du christianisme dans sa manière d'envisager les conflits et de les résoudre. Si la tonalité du message du Christ est en gros susceptible d'être qualifiée de pacifiste, ce n'est de loin pas le cas du christianisme constantinien.

Designing a terminological knowledge base consists in collecting terms and associating them to their definition. Our objective is to define a process model to support this design task in a collaborative work environment. The proposed concept model is based on terminological logic and the issue-based model IBIS. The terminological logic part is intended to formally express definitions...

The DVP project investigated the Quality of Service (QoS) requirements of broadcasters for several forms of distributed video production and run a series of trials of distributed virtual studios (studio on demand), distributed virtual reality, distributed musical rehearsals and distributed video editing and retrieval. The CUI of the University of Geneva participated in the DVP...

This report defines synchronised Petri nets with inhibitor arcs and an extension of these nets that integrates real-time constraints. The semantics of these nets is given by a transition system built using Structured Operational Semantics (SOS) rules. This report is part of a larger framework that attempts to attach real-time constraints to the CO-OPN/2 language.

Income distribution embeds a large field of research subjects in economics. It is important to study how incomes are distributed among the members of a population in order for example to determine tax policies for redistribution to decrease inequality, or to implement social policies to reduce poverty. The available data come mostly from surveys (and not censuses as it is often...

With income distributions it is common to encounter the problem of missing data. When a parametric model is fitted to the data, the problem can be overcome by specifying the marginal distribution of the observed data. With classical methods of estimation such as the maximum likelihood (ML) an estimator of the parameters can be obtained in a straightforward manner. Unfortunately, it...
