This volume contains the papers presented at the Third
International Conference on Object Oriented Information Systems
(00lS'96) which was held at South Bank University, London. The
keynote addresses, by Professor Colette Roland and Mr Ian Graham,
are also included. The acceptance rate for papers was around 47%.
The papers for the Industry Day were invited papers. The keynote
paper by Professor Roland analyses the challenges in object
modelling, particularly the impact of requirements engineering for
conceptual modelling. She suggests innovative research perspectives
to enhance and extend object oriented approaches in order to deal
with the emerging area of requirements engineering. The keynote
paper presented by Mr. Graham focuses on the problems and solutions
for adopting use cases. In his paper, Graham illustrates the
theoretical issues and practical problems of use cases, and
highlights them using examples. The papers included in this volume
cover different aspects of object modelling, object oriented
software development, object databases, and interoperability. In
the modelling session, Ram, et al. outline an extended object model
to tackle the problems of capturing complex requirements of office
information systems. Simons' paper concentrates on core object
modelling concepts and presents a mathematical theory of class.
This volume contains the papers presented at the Intemational
Conference on Object Oriented Information Systems 00lS'94, held at
South Bank University, London, December 19 - 21, 1994. In response
to our call for papers, a total 85 papers from 24 different
countries were submitted. Each paper was evaluated by at least two
Program Committee members and an additional reviewer. Together, we
selected 41 papers for presentation at the conference and inclusion
in the Proceedings. Also included are the keynote addresses by
Peter Gray and Michael Jackson. The other submissions were
recommended for presentation in the poster sessions. Peter Gray,
our invited speaker, evaluates the problems of object-oriented
systems and data independence by looking at how object oriented
database applications are failing to perceive its benefits, and
instead rely too much on encapsulation. He suggests alternative
kinds of object storage to preserve data independence. The second
invited speaker, Michael Jackson describes a way of solving
problems, by focusing directly on the problems themselves, their
components and structures and on the relationships between the
problem and the solution method. He discusses a particular view of
the role of object-orientation in software development.
Will Africa be the world's next hub of manufacturing? China is
answering in the affirmative and investing accordingly. This book
dispels the notion that this crucial story is merely about China's
exploitation of Africa's resources, illuminating deep questions
about our own, Western approach to development, and the
implications for the future of manufacturing.Important research on
a crucial global business trend: the shifting of manufacturing to
Africa and its implications.Fascinating story and perspective from
an author with direct experience of how this trend is
happening.Rich, vivid, detailed examples illustrating the changing
landscape, companies' success and failure in Africa.Insights and
lessons highlighting the contrast between China's approach to
business and economic development in Africa versus the West's
aid-oriented approach.Engaging and absorbing writing, with the
author's integral personal story interwoven with the research and
ideas.Audience:C-level executives of companies operating
internationally who have manufacturing (especially offshore
manufacturing) as part of their operations.Senior executives and
managers involved in global supply chain strategy and
operations.Investors.Business readers interested in China, emerging
markets, the global economy, and economic development.Intelligent
general readers interested in economic development, foreign aid
policy and practice.
This book presents policy and oversight issues for Congress arising
from (1) maritime territorial disputes involving China in the South
China Sea (SCS) and East China Sea (ECS) and (2) an additional
dispute over whether China has a right under international law to
regulate U.S. and other foreign military activities in its
200-nautical-mile maritime Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). China is
a party to multiple maritime territorial disputes in the SCS and
ECS, including, in particular, disputes over the Paracel Islands,
Spratly Islands, and Scarborough Shoal in the SCS, and the Senkaku
Islands in the ECS. Maritime territorial disputes involving China
in the SCS and ECS date back many years, and have periodically led
to incidents and periods of increased tension. The disputes have
again intensified in the past few years, leading to numerous
confrontations and incidents, and heightened tensions between China
and other countries in the region, particularly Japan, the
Philippines, and Vietnam.
This book studies the pitfalls of regional climate models in
simulating track and intensity of tropical cyclone over western
North Pacific for the East Asian summer monsoon climate.A number of
sensitivity experiments related to tropical cyclone simulation with
different model configurations and model physical schemes,
including model resolution, model lateral boundary condition,
effect of sea surface temperature, cumulus parameterization scheme
and model microphysics scheme, as well as the features and the
failure of tropical cyclone simulation in regional climate models
were carefully analyzed with model output with high temporal
resolution, to investigate shortcomings of the models, so as to
come up with better models to simulate and study tropical cyclone
track and intensity.The book is suitable for graduate students in
meteorology with focuses in the tropical cyclone simulation, as
well as professionals devoted to model development and study of
tropical cyclone activities.
