The Fables: Gustave Moreau
No full textOccasional mention of Gustave Moreau and sample offerings of specific work of his did not prepare me for this revelation of the extent of his work on fables. Moreau created some 64 watercolor illustrations of La Fontaine's fables, first exhibited in 1886 and last exhibited in 1906. This present book is the catalogue of a recent exhibit at the Rothschilds' Waddesdon Manor. The book's author, Juliet Carey, was curator of that exhibit. The book, large format (9¾" x 12") and 168 pages long, gives accounts of Moreau's life, including the fable watercolors; of La Fontaine and the fables; and of animal studies by Moreau that prepared for this work. The bulk of the book is then an impressive catalogue featuring a large colored illustration of each of the 35 fables in the exhibit, starting with "Allegory of Fable," in which fable rides on a chimaera. Among the best, for me, are WS; "The Monkey and the Dolphin"; "Death and the Woodcutter," in which death is a seductive woman; and FK. The book's last pictorial section is a brief account of Felix Bracquemond's black and white etchings based on Moreau's fables. Of the many critical comments included here, the most helpful for me is that Moreau "explored states of consciousness." Moreau achieved early fame with popular works exploring mythology, e.g., "Oedipus and the Sphinx." This book is a new treasure in the collection!Juliet Care
Standardisation of Provenance Systems in Service Oriented Architectures --- White Paper
No full textThis White Paper presents provenance in computer systems as a mechanism by which business and e-science can undertake compliance validation and analysis of their past processes. We discuss an open approach that can bring benefits to application owners, IT providers, auditors and reviewers. In order to capitalise on such benefits, we make specific recommendations to move forward a standardisation activity in this domain
Prometeo, Casal y Moreau
No full text"Este trabajo presenta el mito de Prometeo en Casal y Moreau, así como la relación entre ellos y la traslación del cuadro al poema. Por otro lado, se muestra como el común paradigma entre ellos explica las coincidencias existentes entre ambos, así como el interés del poeta por la obra del pintor.
Prometeo, Casal y Moreau
No full textThis article introduces the myth of Prometheus in Casal and Moreau´s work, the relationship between both artist and the representation of the picture in a poetic form. This article proves a common paradigm between the artist and how this paradigm explains the existing simila- rities for both artist. Furthermore, it reveals the interest of the poet in Moreau’s paintings.Este trabajo presenta el mito de Prometeo en Casal y Moreau, así como la relación entre ellos y la traslación del cuadro al poema.

Scalability and Robustness of a Network Resource Allocation System Using Market-Based Agents
No full textIn this paper, we consider issues associated with scalability and robustness in designing a market-based multi-agent system that allocates bandwidth in a communications network. Specifically, an empirical evaluation is carried out to assess the system performance under a variety of design configurations in order to provide an insight into network deployment issues. This extends our previous work in which we developed an application that makes use of market-based software agents that compete in decentralised marketplaces to buy and sell bandwidth resources in a network that is partitioned into regions, each with a separate market server. We investigate the average call success rate and average message load per market server, as the number of markets are scaled up in a fixed size network. The same investigations are performed in the presence of single market failures. Finally, for both the failure and non-failure cases, a trade-off is found between their average call success rates and message load per server in order to find an optimum number of regions to deploy in the network
A Canonical Form for PROV Documents: Dataset Underpinning Evaluation
No full textDataset supporting:
Luc Moreau (2017) A Canonical Form for PROV Documents and its Application to Equality, Signature, and Validation. ACM Transactions on Internet Technology.
We present a canonical form for PROV that is a normalized way of representing PROV documents as mathematical expressions. As opposed to the normal form specified by the PROV-CONSTRAINTS recommendation, the canonical form we present is defined for all PROV documents, irrespective of their validity, and it can be serialized in a unique way. The paper makes the case for a canonical form for PROV and its potential uses, namely: comparison of PROV documents in different formats, validation, and signature of PROV documents. A signature of a PROV document allows the integrity and the author of provenance to be ascertained; since the signature is based on the canonical form, these checks are not tied to a particular encoding, but can be performed on any representation of PROV.</span
Scalability and robustness of a market-based network resource allocation system
No full textIn this paper, we consider issues related to scalability and robustness in designing a market-based multi-agent system that allocates bandwidth in a communications network. Specifically, an empirical evaluation is carried out to assess the system performance under a variety of design configurations in order to provide an insight into network deployment issues. This extends our previous work in which we developed an application that makes use of market-based software agents that compete in decentralised marketplaces to buy and sell bandwidth resources. Our new results show that given a light to moderate network traffic load, partitioning the network into a few regions, each with a separate market server, gives a higher call success rate than by using a single market. Moreover, a trade-off in the number of regions was also noted between the average call success rate and the number of messages received per market server. Finally, given the possibility of market failures, we observe that the average call success rates increase with an increasing number of markets until a maximum is reached
Provenance-based reproducibility in the Semantic Web
No full textReproducibility is a crucial property of data since it allows users to understand and verify how data was derived, and therefore allows them to put their trust in such data. Reproducibility is essential for science, because the reproducibility of experimental results is a tenet of the scientific method, but reproducibility is also beneficial in many other fields, including automated decision making, visualization, and automated data feeds. To achieve the vision of reproducibility, the workflow-based community has strongly advocated the use of provenance as an underpinning mechanism for reproducibility, since a rich representation of provenance allows steps to be reproduced and all intermediary and final results checked and validated. Concurrently, multiple ontology-based representations of provenance have been devised, to be able to describe past computations, uniformly across a variety of technologies. However, such Semantic Web representations of provenance do not have any formal link with execution. Even assuming a faithful and non-malicious environment, how can we claim that an ontology-based representation of provenance enables reproducibility, since it has not been given any execution semantics, and therefore has no formal way of expressing the reproduction of computations? This is the problem that this paper tackles by defining a denotational semantics for the Open Provenance Model, which is referred to as the reproducibility semantics. This semantics is used to implement a reproducibility service, leveraging multiple Semantic Web technologies, and offering a variety of reproducibility approaches, found in the literature. A series of empirical experiments were designed to exhibit the range of reproducibility capabilities of our approach; in particular, we demonstrate the ability to reproduce computations involving multiple technologies, as is commonly found on the Web
Security Issues in a SOA-based Provenance System
No full textRecent work has begun exploring the characterization and utilization of provenance in systems based on the Service Oriented Architecture (such as Web Services and Grid based environments). One of the salient issues related to provenance use within any given system is its security. Provenance presents some unique security requirements of its own, which are additionally dependent on the architectural and environmental context that a provenance system operates in. We discuss the security considerations pertaining to a Service Oriented Architecture based provenance system. Concurrently, we outline possible approaches to address them
Alicia Moreau de Justo reclama elecciones sin presos políticos : Durante el año 1966, época de la proscripción del peronismo
No full textLa dirigente socialista reclama la libertad de los más de 300 presos políticos, entre ellos mujeres, ante las elecciones de 1966, cuando se reprimía tanto a peronistas como a comunistas u otros militantes de izquierda.
Moreau de Justo asegura que esos ciudadanos no cambiarán con su voto los resultados y que, en cambio, su libertad fortalecerá la democracia y la fe popular en este sistema de gobierno.
