LOTOS (Language Of Temporal Ordering Specification) became an international standard in 1989, although application of preliminary versions of the language to communication services and protocols of the ISO/OSI family dates back to 1984. This history of the use of LOTOS made it apparent that more advantages than the pure production of standard reference documents were to be expected from the use of such formal description techniques. LOTOSphere: Software Development with LOTOS describes in depth a five year project that moved LOTOS out of the ISO tower into software engineering practice. LOTOS became a vehicle for efficient, yet formally based industrial software specification, design, verifi...
The SEDOS (Software Environment for the Design of Open Distributed Systems) project was supported by the Commission of the European Communities under the ESPRIT Programme. It was divided into two main tasks, related respectively to the two ISO formal description techniques Estelle and LOTOS, which became international standards in September 1988. This book presents the work related to LOTOS. It includes a tutorial on LOTOS, a number of specifications, in particular a specification of the OSI session layer. Results in verification theory and descriptions of supporting software tools are given.

Anna Morandi Manzolini (1714-74), a woman artist and scientist, surmounted meager origins and limited formal education to become one of the most acclaimed anatomical sculptors of the Enlightenment. The Lady Anatomist tells the story of her arresting life and times, in light of the intertwined histories of science, gender, and art that complicated her rise to fame in the eighteenth century. Examining the details of Morandi’s remarkable life, Rebecca Messbarger traces her intellectual trajectory from provincial artist to internationally renowned anatomical wax modeler for the University of Bologna’s famous medical school. Placing Morandi’s work within its cultural and historical context, as well as in line with the Italian tradition of anatomical studies and design, Messbarger uncovers the messages contained within Morandi’s wax inscriptions, part complex theories of the body and part poetry. Widely appealing to those with an interest in the tangled histories of art and the body, and including lavish, full-color reproductions of Morandi’s work, The Lady Anatomist is a sophisticated biography of a true visionary.

Non è vero che i criceti sono poco intelligenti. Il loro problema è un altro: hanno una pessima memoria. Se uno stimolo non viene ripetuto moltissime volte, se ne dimenticano. Ma non sono i soli: questo problema lo hanno anche interi Paesi. Paesi come l’Italia. Da più di un secolo diciamo di voler combattere la corruzione, ma non riconosciamo le sue radici e creiamo leggi che la incentivano. Per non parlare delle grandi opere: dalle Autostrade alla Tav, ci lamentiamo che non si riescono a costruire o a completare. Però facciamo di tutto perché finisca sempre così. O della guerra ai privilegi del Palazzo: un ritornello che ci accompagna da decenni. Senza che la guerra si riesca mai a ...
