A metamodeling approach for pattern specification and management

The formal specification of design patterns is central to pattern research and is the foundation of solving various pattern-related problems.In this paper,we propose a metamodeling approach for pattern specification,in which a pattern is modeled as a meta-level class and its participants are meta-level references.Instead of defining a new metamodel,we reuse the Unified Modeling Language(UML)metamodel and incorporate the concepts of Variable and Set into our approach,which are unavailable in the UML but essential for pattern specification.Our approach provides straightforward solutions for pattern-related problems,such as pattern instantiation,evolution,and implementation.By integrating the solutions into a single framework,we can construct a pattern management system,in which patterns can be instantiated,evolved,and implemented in a correct and manageable way.

Digital‐to‐analog converter with gamma correction on glass substrate for TFT‐panel applications

Abstract— Low‐temperature polysilicon (LTPS) technology has a tendency towards integrating all circuits on glass substrate. However, the poly‐Si TFTs suffered poor uniformity with large variations in the device characteristics due to a narrow laser process window for producing large‐grained poly‐Si TFTs. The device variation is a serious problem for circuit realization on the LCD panel, so how to design reliable on‐panel circuits is a challenge for system‐on‐panel (SOP) applications. In this work, a 6‐bit R‐string digital‐to‐analog converter (DAC) with gamma correction on glass substrate for TFT‐panel applications is proposed. The proposed circuit, which is composed of a folded R‐string circuit, a segmented digital decoder, and reordering of the decoding circuit, has been designed and fabricated in a 3‐μm LTPS technology. The area of the new proposed DAC circuit is effectively reduced to about one‐sixth compared to that of the conventional circuit for the same LTPS process.     

Field cross correlator for analysis of ultrafast signals

The cross-correlation function between two light fields is recorded with the help of a new device. The proposed correlator exhibits ultrashort time resolution. The optical path difference between the two interfering beams does not have to be known with interferometric precision. The experimental dynamic range proved to be as large as 10(5). The device features imaging capabilities that could be applied to the analysis of two-dimensional images with ultrashort time resolution.     

On the significance of data bases keywords for alarge scale bibliometric investigation in fundamental physics

We present an automatized bibliometric investigation applied to the field of fundamental research in physics. We briefly describe the scientific context motivating this study and the statistical method used for analyzing the data. We discuss in more detail how we adapted our investigation to the questions motivating this study, namely the identification of relevant groups working in a well defined subfield of physics. We next present the results of our investigation. We particularly focus on an analysis of Index and Free terms, as obtained from the INSPEC data base we used for performing the bibliometric investigation. We discuss the relevance of Index and Free terms by means of a separation between Noise, Interesting and Trivial entries. We show that Index and Free terms exhibit somewhat different behaviors when considered as distributions in terms of frequencies of occurrence in the references. We show the particular relevance of Free terms in this analysis. This may be connected to the emerging nature of the subfield of physics under consideration. This shed an interesting light on the respective importance of Index and Free terms, as entries of data bases, in particular in the case of rapidly evolving scientific domains.     

Adaptive fuzzy leader-follower consensus control using sliding mode mechanism for a class of high-order unknown nonlinear dynamic multi-agent systems

In this article, a distributed leader-follower consensus approach is developed for a class of high-order unknown nonlinear dynamic multi-agent systems (MASs). Because every agent of the MAS contains multiple state variables, the existing consensus methods are not completely applicable for it. In order to find the qualified consensus protocol for this high-order MAS, sliding mode mechanism can be naturally considered for designing the consensus control because it can manage multiple state variables with the help of a constructed hyperplane. To this consensus control design, the sliding mode term is composed of all tracking error variables. Since the method does not require the switching control term around sliding surface, it can avoid the chattering phenomenon, which exits in most of the published sliding mode controls (SMCs). Furthermore, to handle the unknown nonlinear dynamic problem, the adaptive approximation strategy is implemented by employing fuzzy logic system (FLS). In the light of Lyapunov stability analysis, it is demonstrated that the proposed control approach can accomplish the consensus tasks. Finally, a numerical example is implemented to further show the desired results.

One-side value-added service investment and pricing strategies for a two-sided platform

To widen user participation and increase profit, two-sided platforms may invest on value-added services (VASs) for users. Due to the cross-market network externality, the investment for one side would affect the utility of users on two sides, thus affect the demand and profit of the platform. In this paper, we investigate one-side VAS investment and pricing strategies for a two-sided platform. It is revealed that it is optimal to invest at the maximum level for any marginal investing cost below a certain threshold, and to decrease the investment when the marginal investing cost increases above the threshold. We find that compared with the case of no investment, the invested user side will always be priced higher, while the uninvested user side may either be priced higher or lower, depending on the relative magnitude of mutual cross-market network externalities. If both sides are priced higher after the investment, the price increment for uninvested user side could be larger than that for invested user side.
