Scenario Synthesis from Imprecise Requirements
No full textDiscovering faults in requirements specifications for distributed reactive systems is a challenging problem since many issues that need to be uncovered are a result of subtle component interactions that are implied by the requirements, but not explicitly described by them. A further difficulty is caused by the imprecise nature of industrial requirements specifications. This makes it difficult to construct valid models of the possible compositions between the requirements, which would be a valuable aid in uncovering such interactions. The paper defines a formal semantics that characterizes a particular type of imprecise compositional semantics derived from industrial case studies, and a process algebra that describes the valid requirements compositions for that formal semantics

Belonging: natural histories of place, identity and home
No full textCanongate's synopsis:
"Reflecting on family, identity and nature, Belonging is a personal memoir about what it is to have and make a home. It is a love letter to nature, especially the northern landscapes of Scotland and the Scots pinewoods of Abernethy – home to standing dead trees known as snags, which support the overall health of the forest.
Belonging is a book about how we are held in thrall to elements of our past. It speaks to the importance of attention and reflection, and will encourage us all to look and observe and ask questions of ourselves.
Beautifully written and featuring Amanda Thomson’s artwork and photography throughout, it explores how place, language and family shape us and make us who we are."

Outstanding - ROBERT MACFARLANE
Amanda Thomson’s new book manages to carve out a distinctive niche for itself . . . This is a passionate book and infused with a sense of rootedness - STUART KELLY, The Scotsman
In recent years rural landscapes have turned into battlegrounds, and nature writing has become increasingly polemical. Belonging is a quiet book of questions in a genre full of answers, but it is all the more powerful and beautiful for this - PATRICK GALBRAITH, TLS
One of the best things I have read in ages . . . Quiet and beautiful and powerful - ALYS FOWLER
Thomson writes of the natural in a way I have yet to encounter before. There is no real hoo-haa, no flowery description of which to speak yet somehow, I came away with that ache inside me — that renewed obsession with the world that is only borne of a very particular kind of writing — poetic, loving, raw . . . Like no other - KERRI Ní DOCHARTAIGH, Caught by the River
In strikingly original takes on Scottish history, environmentalism, Black feminist theory, artmaking, list-making, memory, and memoir, Thomson crafts a cadence that is as wise as it is vitally alive. - MARGOT DOUAIHY, author of Scorched Grac
The Ghost of Patrick Geddes: Civics As Applied Sociology
No full textIn 1904 and 1905 Patrick Geddes (1905, 1906) read his famed, but today little-read, two-part paper, \'Civics: as Applied Sociology\', to the first meetings of the British Sociological Society. Geddes is often thought of as a \'pioneer of sociology\' (Mairet, 1957; Meller, 1990) and for some (eg Devine, 1999: 296) as \'a seminal influence on sociology\'. However, little of substance has been written to critically assess Geddes\'s intellectual legacy as a sociologist. His work is largely forgotten by sociologists in Britain (Abrams, 1968; Halliday, 1968; Evans, 1986). Few have been prepared to follow Geddes\'s ambition to bridge the chasm between nature and culture, environment and society, geography, biology and sociology. His conception of \'sociology\', oriented towards social action from a standpoint explicitly informed by evolutionary theory. A re-appraisal of the contemporary relevance of Geddes\'s thinking on civics as applied sociology has to venture into the knotted problem of evolutionary sociology. It also requires giving some cogency to Geddes\'s often fragmentary and inconsistent mode of address. Although part of a post-positivist, \'larger modernism\' Geddes remained mired in nineteenth century evolutionary thought and fought shy of dealing with larger issues of social class or the breakthrough work of early twentieth century sociology of Simmel, Weber and Durkheim. His apolitical notion of \'civics\' limits its relevance to academic sociology today.History of Sociology, Civics, Patrick Geddes, Scottish Generalism, Urban Sociology
