GENESYS : a candidate for an Artemis cross-domain architecture for embedded systems. Eds. Roman Obermaisser, Herman Kopetz., 99 - 133 ; It is the objective of this book to give an overview of the cross-domain architecture for embedded systems that has been developed in the context of the European FP 7 research project GENESYS (GENeric Embedded SYStem FP7-213322) from January 2008 to June 2009. GENESYS is a candidate for the ARTEMIS European Reference Architecture for embedded systems. ARTEMIS is a European joint technology initiative (JTI) that bundles the efforts of European players from industry, academia and governments in the domain of embedded systems in order to develop a cross-domain approach to Embedded System Design. Such a cross-domain approach is needed to support the coming Internet of Things, to take full advantage of the economies of scale of the semiconductor industry and to improve the productivity of the human resources. GENESYS is a platform architecture that provides a minimal set of core services at the waist and a plurality of optional service that are predominantly implemented as self-contained system components. Choosing a suitable set of these system components that implement optional services, augmented by application specific components, can generate domain-specific instantiations of the architectures.

Mellado Durán (Eds.), EURO-MEDITERRANEAN INTEGRATION THROUGH LIFELONG LEARNING (EU-MILL): A memory of cooperation and dialogue on Education in the Mediterranean basin (pp. 49-78). (Divulgación Científica). Universidad de Sevilla. https://doi.org/10.12795/9788447221042 ; On the following pages, it will be analyzed the situation of LLL on all partner countries, the integration of LLL policies within their legal frameworks, as well as some examples of good practices in LLL on the partner countries, identified and learnt after the study visit to HEI in the European shore. We have performed a comparative policy analysis extracted from the country reports on LLL delivered in the begining of project in the four southern Mediterranean partner countries (Morocco, Tunisia, Lebanon and Algeria) and in the European Union. The expected aim was to compare the different policies of these countries for implementing Lifelong Learning, in order to provide basis for a further development of Lifelong Learning policies in the four countries. The analysis provides the necessary base for introducing a framework and guidelines on behalf of establishing, assessing, accrediting and running LLL study programmes in higher education (HE), conducting projects and providing a firm and stable infrastructure for LLL. ; publishersversion ; published

This paper reviews non-computerised and computerised land evaluation methods or methodologies, and realises the difficulties to incorporate biophysical and socioeconomic factors from different levels. Therefore, this paper theorises an alternative land evaluation approach, which is tested and elaborated in an agricultural community in the North of Chile. The basis of the approach relies on holistic thinking and attempts to evaluate the potential for improving assumed unsustainable goat management practices. The concept of "potential for development methodology" (PDM) summarises this specific evaluation approach, of which, the soft systems methodology (SSM) is a crucial part. The purpose of SSM is to enhance the under-standing of complex human situations that are perceived as problematic by stakeholders. Final results of PDM are potential classes, which indicate the ability of stake-holders to improve the actual situation. Comparing PDM with the land evaluation approach promoted by FAO, shows complementarity and possibilities to incorporate socio-economic issues within the terminology of the agroeco-logical zoning (AEZ) concept. Thus, this paper suggests a land evaluation approach that may facilitate the incorporation of socioeconomic characteristics from higher (e.g. governmental institutions) and local (e.g. NGOs and farmers) levels.

This research leveraged existing UN-Habitat instances of community profiling surveys (such as the survey being used in Fiji and partly deployed in Koa Hill), which were then refined for use in the Honiara context. The goal was to design a survey that is both quick and effective, elicits information on critical issues of vulnerability to climate change and natural hazards, is fit for local purpose, and can be considered together with other sources of socio-economic information (e.g. collected by the national Census). It also attempted to leverage / integrate with existing Government geospatial datasets. The RMIT team also supported the implementation and analysis of the survey. It achieved this through identifying suitable enumerators (in consultation with SI Ministries and Honiara City Council) and sourcing appropriate technology platforms to collect and process the data, with a view toward interoperability with other datasets. The analysis of the data was conducted in Melbourne, providing a broad profile of the community that can be used as input into other components of the Climate Resilient Honiara project, as well as other climate-related decision-making.

Leftover: the residual, the adjunct, the tenacious, dismissed from the 'Whole', a demarcation, a rejection, an excess, a stain, a trace, to be re-decorated, re-moved, re-cycled, re-turned to a primordial condition. Only it won't. Unwanted as they might be, leftovers linger, escape, insist, and demand our attention; they are a constant distraction, intensity, and transgression. As objects, environments, actions, and intentions, leftovers incite affects. Although not essentially antagonistic or the product of agential action and intention, leftovers are helpful in mapping the political, not only by drawing the coordinates of the respectable, responsible, reasonable, essential, and the aesthetic, but concurrently as the rejected yet lingering remnant of knowledge production. Using 'Leftover' as an invitation for theorization across disciplines and research paradigms, this event reflected on what we might mean when we use affective vocabularies in order to position ourselves in theoretical and methodological terms, and what is being left-over in theory, action, and passion.

Having reached a critical mass of participants, performances and the study of Shakespeare in different cultural contexts are changing how we think about globalization. The idea of global Shakespeares has caught on because of site-specific imaginations involving early modern and modern Globe theatres that aspired to perform the globe. Seeing global Shakespeares as a methodology rather than as appendages of colonialism, as political rhetorics, or as centerpieces in a display of exotic cultures situates us in a postnational space that is defined by fluid cultural locations rather than by nation-states. This framework helps us confront archival silences in the record of globalization, understand the spectral quality of citations of Shakespeare and mobile artworks, and reframe the debate about cultural exchange. Global Shakespeares as a field registers the shifting locus of anxiety between cultural particularity and universality. This article explores the promise and perils of political articulations of cultural difference and suggests new approaches to performances in marginalized or polyglot spaces.

In this article, I suggest that it is plausible to argue that Skinner's methodology is inseparable from his intention to retrieve republicanism. This makes itself evident in the way he structures his critique of John Rawls. In line with Hobbes, this British historian interprets Rawls's A Theory of Justice as another example of theory being politically neutralized. I will present the main aspects of Skinner's analysis of Rawlsian liberalism from a neo-Machiavellian perspective, and discuss to what degree this analysis is or is not conclusive vis-à-vis the relationship between Rawls and republicanism. Finally, I will assess to what extent it is ideology that motivates the British historian to put his methodology in line with republicanism. ; En este artículo, sugiero que es plausible argumentar que la metodología de Skinner es inseparable de su intención de rescatar el republicanismo. Esto se hace evidente en la forma en que estructura su crítica de John Rawls. El historiador británico interpreta la teoría de la justicia de Rawls, desde su diseño metodológico, como un ejemplo de un momento hobbesiano que busca neutralizar 'lo político' en la teoría. Presentaré los aspectos principales del análisis crítico de Skinner del liberalismo rawlsiano, especial atención existirá a la contraposición realizada por él entre una concepción neomaquiaveliana de la política versus una hobbesiana. Finalmente, se evaluará el papel conceptual que juega "histórical" en su metodología respecto de su mismo rescate del republicanismo.

A number of authors have identified Chomsky's work as belonging within the critical realist tradition (Wilkin 1997; Edgley 2000; Laffey 2003). In chapter five, Alison Edgley explores some of the epistemological assumptions of critical realism, in order to highlight his distinctive and nuanced approach to social scientific study and examine the ways in which Chomsky could be said to be operationalizing this approach. She identifies three methods typically employed by Chomsky that, when employed rigorously, enable the alert social scientist to the possibility and nature of contradictions between policy rhetoric and policy outcomes. Chomsky, as is typical of a critical realist in action, seeks to identify both necessity and possibility or potential in the world by asking what things must go together, and what could happen, given the nature of those objects. His writings show how critical realist analysis can successfully be deployed across the publications, pronouncements and actions of policy-makers, academics, civil servants, journalists and opinion-formers to produce an exemplar of robust and revealing foreign policy analysis, For these reasons, it can be argued that critical realism provides a compelling philosophical underpinning for doing social science research in general, and for Chomsky's research on American foreign policy in particular.

Top experts in Living Lab research and practice from the European Network of Living Labs (ENoLL) have contributed to the Living Lab Methodology Handbook by sharing their knowledge on the most recent findings on the topic. This handbook introduces research background and serves as a practical guidance for researchers and practitioners on Living Lab methodologies, co-creation and user engagement. It also aims to inspire the reader with the lessons learned from thorough research together with practical experiences from real-life cases. The handbook is specifically focusing on the topical area of Internet of Things, and explains how the Living Lab approach can greatly support the research and development activities in that area. This handbook was initiated under the coordination and support action "User Engagement for Large Scale Pilots in the Internet of Things" (U4IoT) that provides online and offline toolkits, workshops and other forms of support to actively engage end-users and citizens in the pilot projects of European IoT Large-scale pilots programme. This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme and the Swiss State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation under grant agreement No 732078.

This open access book explores the use of visual methods in migration studies through a combination of theoretical analyses and empirical studies. The first section looks at how various visual methods, including photography, film, and mental maps, may be used to analyse the spatial presence of migrants. The second section addresses the processual building of narratives around migration, thereby using formats such as film and visual essay, and reflecting upon the ways they become carriers and mediators of both story and theory within the subject of migration. Section three focuses on vulnerable communities and discusses how visual methods can empower these communities, thereby also focusing on the theoretical and ethical implications of migration. The fourth section addresses the issue of migrant representation in visual discourses. The fifth and concluding section comprises of a single methodological chapter which systematizes the use of visual methods in migration studies across disciplines, with regard to their empirical, theoretical, and ethical implications. Multidisciplinary in character, this book is an interesting read for students and migration scholars who engage with visual methods, as well as practitioners, journalists, filmmakers, photographers, curators of exhibitions who engage with a topic of migration visually. ; info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion

The introduction sets out a standard concern that space ethics may be unduly constrain- ing upon state and private sector activities in space. As a counter-picture, Section 2 sets up a distinction between 'standard space ethics' and 'special space ethics' which will allow us to explore ways in which space ethics enables as well as constrains. A case is then made in Section 3 for pragmatic constraints upon space ethics itself. Space eth- ics should be either 'policy apt' (able to directly shape space policy within a liberal democratic social context) or 'precursor apt' (able to contribute productively to broader, precursor discussions which may feed into policy apt deliberations). What makes any ethic satisfy either of these conditions will depend upon a range of factors. The ethic should have stability (dealt with in Section 3.1). It should not merely track transitory voting trends or the ebbs and lows of electoral politics. Secondly, it should have a high degree of political realizability (dealt with in Section 3.2). Finally, the ethic should be psychologically available. Section 4 then shows the usefulness of these basic constraints upon space ethics through a contrast between the emerging US and European agendas in astrobiology.

This handbook was initiated under the coordination and support action "User Engagement for Large Scale Pilots in the Internet of Things" (U4IoT) that provides online and offline toolkits, workshops and other forms of support to actively engage end-users in the Internet of Things (IoT) Large Scale Pilot (LSP) projects of European IoT-LSP programme. This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme and the Swiss State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation under grant agreement No 732078. The handbook describes the Co-Creative Workshop Methodology that is especially produced by Stembert Design for the Internet of Things (IoT) Large Scale Pilot (LSP) projects in the European IoT-LSP programme. The goal of the methodology is to bring together LSP partners, stakeholders and end-users to co-create solutions in a couple of hours. The Co-Creative Workshop Toolkit enables experts to empathise with the needs of end-users, whilst end-users are enabled to communicate on an expert level. Ideally this increases empathy within design and development teams, leading to more meaningful IoT-solutions. Four co-creative phases: Co-analysis, Co-design, Co-evaluation and Co-implementation are explained in this handbook together with practical information on how to organise, facilitate, analyse and document a Co-Creative Workshop. U4IoT supports the LSP projects to implement the Co-Creative Workshop Methodology into their projects and provides LSP partners with support to organise and facilitate Co-Creative Workshops.
