A firm which is financed by outside shareholders but run by managers has the prospect of a process innovation which arrives stochastically. Adopting the innovation requires firing old management and hiring new with skills appropriate for the new technique. We show...

Collateral and short squeezing of liquidity in fixed rate tenders

The paper models fixed rate tenders, where a central bank offers to lend central bank funds to financial institutions. Bidders are constrained by the amount of collateral they have. We focus on the strategic interaction between bidding in the tender and trading in the interbank market after the tender, where short squeezes could occur. We examine how the design of the tender affects...

Content and Interface Models for Multi Point of View Scientific Hyperbooks

We present a model for creating, managing, and viewing the contents of scientific hyperbooks. The model we propose is based on reusable information fragments and on terminological fragments that contain concept definitions. The definition of concepts, which plays an essential role in scientific writings, are represented in a formal language. These formal definitions can then be...

Learning by Creating Multipoint of View Scientific Hyperbooks

Learning by collaboratively writing scientific hyperbooks requires specific software tools. We present a model for creating, managing, and viewing the contents of the hyperbook. The model we propose includes the representation of information fragments and their relationships; a specific representation of concepts (terminological fragments) and a language for the creation of hypertext...

Design and Analysis of Virtual Museums

Using the same data, which could come from local databases or external sources such as the Web, virtual museum designers can build different hyperspaces. It is possible that visitors would find some of them more useful than others. Therefore, virtual museums designers should be equipped with a tool by which various hyperspaces for virtual museums can be easily designed and examined....

Navigation hypertexte dans une ontologie multi-points de vue

Une ontologie multi-points de vue est une ontologie dans laquelle chaque concept peut avoir plusieurs définitions différentes, chacune d'entre elles représentant un point de vue différent (selon le point de vue un concept peut également être situé à plusieurs emplacements différents dans la hiérarchie). Si beaucoup de travaux ont porté sur l'utilisation d'ontologies...

A Formal Development and Validation Methodology Applied to Agent-Based Systems

This paper presents first a formal development methodology that enables a specifier to add complexity progressively into the system design, and to formally validate each step wrt client's requirements. Second, the paper describes the application of this methodology to agent-based systems, as well as development guidelines that help the specifier during the development of such...

The first hour following the trauma is of crucial importance in trauma care. The sooner treatment begins, the better the ultimate outcome for the patient. Generally the initial treatment is handled by paramedical personnel arriving at the site of the accident with an ambulance. There is evidence to show that if the expertise of the on-site paramedic team can be supported by immediate...

Sobolev spaces on non-smooth domains and Dirichlet forms related to subordinate reflecting diffusions

Let Ω be a bounded domain with fractal boundary, for instance von Koch's snowflake domain. First we determine the range and the kernel of the trace on ∂Ω of Sobolev spaces of fractional order defined on Ω. This extends some earlier results of H. Wallin and J. Marschall Secondly we apply these results in studying Dirichlet forms related to subordinate reflecting diffusions in non...
