Challenges for Multi-function SoC Scheduling and Assistive Living Services
Full text linkTasks on assistive living devices and multi-function SoC (MFSoC) have
the requirements to meet certian timing constraint. Examples include
the end-to-end throughput constraint on MFSoC and deadline constraint
on assistive living devices. However, the workload model on the two
application domains are different from conventional real-time workload
models. The new workload model, hence, impose new scheduling
challenges on real-time computing community.
In this short paper, we will discuss the new workload models
and the challenging issues on scheduling such tasks
The political role of the people's liberation army 1949-1973
Full text linkThis thesis is to study the political role of the People's Liberation Army from the approach of structure and function. The framework of the thesis consists of three major parts, first, the influence of Chinese traditional political culture on, and the formation of, the political role of the PL A; second, the influence of domestic political struggles and external military conflicts on the development of the political role of the PLA; and the third, the analysis of the transition of the PLA's political role from the structure and personnel arrangements of the CCPCC Within the above-mentioned three scopes, this thesis make a thorough discussion on the following: (1) The relationship between the structure of the PRC and the formation of the PLA's political role; (2) How has ideology influenced the army's political role; (3) What is Mao's viewpoint and his influence on the development of the army's political role; (4) What is the link between the army and the party, and how has this developed; (6) What accounts for the expansion of the PLA's political functions; (7) What is the influence of political factional struggles on the PLA's political role; (8) Is it political institution or military institution that controls the recruitment of the military elite; (9) What are the disparities between the military elite in handling international conflicts and what are their political considerations; (10) What is the Party's position in the army; (11) How have the Party’s important meetings and personnel arrangements influenced the rise and fall of the PLA's political role

The Structure of the Shih-chi 史記 and the Theory of Five Virtues
No full textThe Shih-chi is written from the viewpoint of the circular theory of history 循環史觀, which reflects the system of cognition that the creation and destruction repeat each other eternally, shared commonly by the people of antiquity. According to the Shih-chi, history began with the Yellow Emperor 黄帝 and then developed into a succession of dynasties, each of which enjoyed the protection of one of the five elements. The fall of a dynasty is due to either cataclysm or tyranny, a notion also common in the folk legends of the time. With the tyranny of the First Emperor of Ch'in 秦始皇, the greatest catastrophe befell and destroyed the civilization continued since the Yellow Emperor. Soon, however, from the chaos emerged Liu Pang 劉邦, who by slaying a serpent realized the cosmos and brought new life to China. What the author of the Shih-chi intended to write was a history of one full cycle, beginning with the Yellow Emperor and coining to Han Wu-ti 漢武帝, the ruler of his time. Both of them, thought he, enjoyed the protection of the element earth ; accordingly, he consciously tried to draw a parallel between the deeds of the two. The theory which tries to explain the succession of dynasties in terms of the five elements is being usually referred to as the wu-hsing hsiang-sheng 五行相勝説. The author of the Shih-chi, however, terms it as the wu-te chung-shih shuo 五徳終始説 or the theory of five virtues. The Shih-chi, it can be said, was written on the basis of this theory and the Taoist philosophy
