Abstract

Im August 2000 jährte sich die Errichtung des "Augsburger Hohen Friedensfestes" zum 350. Mal. Die Beiträge des hier vorgestellten Bandes - sie gehen auf einen Kongreß im Jahr 1999 zurück - diskutieren Herkunft, Funktion, Wandlungen und Formen des Festes unter den spezifischen Bedingungen der Augsburger Parität und vor dem Hintergrund des Aufbaus eines erneuerten Normensystems in der Frühen Neuzeit, dessen Brennpunkte Verrechtlichung, Toleranz und Friedensbereitschaft darstellen. Gefragt wird nach der Konstanz und dem Wandel in der Erinnerungskultur sowie nach der politischen und konfessionellen Instrumentalisierung eines zentralen kommunalen, regionalen, nationalen und europäischen lieu de mémoire. Mit der Analyse des deutschen Notendrucks, der Druckgraphik und der Gebrauchskunst des 17. und 18. Jahrhunderts wird in einem interdisziplinären Zugriff außerdem die musikgeschichtliche und ikonologische Bedeutung des Feiertypus Friedensfest besonders beachtet. Neben ausgewiesenen Experten zur frühneuzeitlichen Geschichte Augsburgs enthält der Band u.a. Beiträge von Martin Brecht, Heinz Duchhardt, Etienne François, Paul Münch, Bernd Roeck, Winfried Schulze und Gunther Wenz.

Abstract

system is a complex object containing a significant percentage of elec­ A tronics that interacts with the Real World (physical environments, humans, etc. ) through sensing and actuating devices. A system is heterogeneous, i. e. , is characterized by the co-existence of a large number of components of disparate type and function (for example, programmable components such as micro­ processors and Digital Signal Processors (DSPs), analog components such as AID and D/A converters, sensors, transmitters and receivers). Any approach to system design today must include software concerns to be viable. In fact, it is now common knowledge that more than 70% of the development cost for complex systems such as automotive electronics and communication systems are due to software development. In addition, this percentage is increasing constantly. It has been my take for years that the so-called hardware-software co-design problem is formulated at a too low level to yield significant results in shorten­ ing design time to the point needed for next generation electronic devices and systems. The level of abstraction has to be raised to the Architecture-Function co-design problem, where Function refers to the operations that the system is supposed to carry out and Architecture is the set of supporting components for that functionality. The supporting components as we said above are heteroge­ neous and contain almost always programmable components.

Abstract

This innovative work of historical sociology locates the origins of modern democratic discourse in the emergent culture of printing in early modern England. For David Zaret, the key to the rise of a democratic public sphere was the impact of this culture of printing on the secrecy and privilege that shrouded political decisions in seventeenth-century England. Zaret explores the unanticipated liberating effects of printing and printed communication in transforming the world of political secrecy into a culture of open discourse and eventually a politics of public opinion. Contrary to those who locate the origins of the public sphere in the philosophical tracts of the French Enlightenment, Zaret claims that it originated as a practical accomplishment, propelled by economic and technical aspects of printing--in particular heightened commercialism and increased capacity to produce texts. Zaret writes that this accomplishment gained impetus when competing elites--Royalists and Parliamentarians, Presbyterians and Independents--used printed material to reach the masses, whose leaders in turn invoked the authority of public opinion to lobby those elites. Zaret further shows how the earlier traditions of communication in England, from ballads and broadsides to inn and alehouse conversation, merged with the new culture of print to upset prevailing norms of secrecy and privilege. He points as well to the paradox for today's critics, who attribute the impoverishment of the public sphere to the very technological and economic forces that brought about the means of democratic discourse in the first place.

Abstract

Real-time computing plays a crucial role in our society since an increasing num­ ber of complex systems rely, in part or completely, on processor control. Ex­ amples of applications that require real-time computing include nuclear power plants, railway switching systems, automotive electronics, air traffic control, telecommunications, robotics, and military systems. In spite of this large application domain, most of the current real-time systems are still designed and implemented using low-level programming and empirical techniques, without the support of a scientific methodology. This approach results in a lack of reliability, which in critical applications may cause serious environmental damage or even loss of life. This book is a basic treatise on real-time computing, with particular emphasis on predictable scheduling algorithms. The main objectives of the book are to introduce the basic concepts of real-time computing, illustrate the most sig­ nificant results in the field, and provide the basic methodologies for designing predictable computing systems useful in supporting critical control applica­ tions. The book is written for instructional use and is organized to enable readers without a strong knowledge of the subject matter to quickly grasp the material. Technical concepts are clearly defined at the beginning of each chapter, and algorithm descriptions are reinforced through concrete examples, illustrations, and tables.
