F2: An Evolution Oriented Database System

The features of a database system specifically designed to support evolution are presented. The design of the F2 system has been deliberately directed toward integration of evolution features and the flexibility of structures at every level. This has leaded to an architecture where the meta-circular organization of the objects management is not an aesthetic facet but a concrete...

CHASSIS - Une Plate-forme pour la Construction de Systèmes d'Information Ouverts

Les systèmes d'information d'aujourd'hui ont de plus en plus la nécessité d'être ouverts. Ceci implique qu'ils doivent répondre aux besoins de réseaux ouverts, de logiciel et de matériel hétérogènes et “interopérables,” et, surtout, à des besoins évolutifs et changeants. Le projet CHASSIS vise le développement d'un cadre informatique et méthodologique...

CHASSIS - A Platform for Constructing Open Information Systems

Present-day computer-based information systems are increasingly required to be open systems. This means that they must cope with open networks, heterogeneous interoperable hardware and software systems, and, above all, evolving and changing requirements. The CHASSIS project aims to develop a software and methodology framework for (i) the security- and reliability-oriented systematic...

Robust Estimation of Personal Income Distribution Models

Statistical problems in modelling personal income distributions include estimation procedures, testing, and model choice. Typically, the parameters of a given model are estimated by classical procedures such as maximum likelihood and leastsquares estimators. Unfortunately, the classical methods are very sensitive to model deviations such as gross errors in the data, grouping effects...

Robust methods for personal income distribution models

In the present thesis, robust statistical techniques are applied and developed for the economic problem of the analysis of personal income distributions and inequality measures. We follow the approach based on influence functions in order to develop robust estimators for the parametric models describing personal income distributions when the data are censored and when they are...

Robustness Properties of Inequality Measures: The Influence Function and the Principle of Transfers

Inequality measures are often used fot summarise information about empirical income distributions. However, the resulting picture of the distribution and of changes in the distribution can be severely distorted if the data are contaminated. The nature of this distortion will in general depend upon the underlying properties of the inequality measure. We investigate this issue...

Offre de sport et théorie du capital humain. Une application aux pays de l'Europe de l'Est

Cet article analyse l'incidence de la transition des pays de l'Europe de l'Est d'un système d'économie planifiée vers une économie de marché sur leurs performances sportives. Dans la première partie, un modèle, basé sur la théorie du capital humain, est développé afin d'expliquer les choix des individus en matière de pratiques sportives. Cette approche...

New social movements and political opportunities in Western Europe

We present a number of concepts and hypotheses concerning the impact of the political opportunity structure on the mobilisation pattern of new social movements in Western Europe. The hypotheses refer to the general level of mobilisation in a given country, the general forms and strategies of action employed, the system level at which mobilisation is typically oriented and the...
