A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF PAULINE MISSIOLOGY, ASSEMBLIES OF GOD MISSIOLOGY, AND CONCLUSIONS FOR TODAY

The following work researches the Missiology of the Apostle Paul, displayed in his mission’s practices in the book of Acts. This work also researches the mission practices of the Assemblies of God in order to discover their unique missiology. The key principles from these two parties are then compared in order to discover the similarities and differences. Since the argument is made that the recordings in the book of Acts of the working of the Apostle Paul are inspired by the Holy Spirit, the similarities between Paul’s practices and Assemblies of God practices are seen as strengths which need to be replicated. However, the disparities are seen as weakness which need to be assessed. This paper hopes to find these disparities and offer biblical solutions which call for the Kingdom of God to be established through the principles of the Holy Spirit

Standing together for reproducibility in large-scale computing: report on reproducibility@XSEDE

This is the final report on reproducibility@xsede, a one-day workshop held in conjunction with XSEDE14, the annual conference of the Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE). The workshop's discussion-oriented agenda focused on reproducibility in large-scale computational research. Two important themes capture the spirit of the workshop submissions and discussions: (1) organizational stakeholders, especially supercomputer centers, are in a unique position to promote, enable, and support reproducible research; and (2) individual researchers should conduct each experiment as though someone will replicate that experiment. Participants documented numerous issues, questions, technologies, practices, and potentially promising initiatives emerging from the discussion, but also highlighted four areas of particular interest to XSEDE: (1) documentation and training that promotes reproducible research; (2) system-level tools that provide build- and run-time information at the level of the individual job; (3) the need to model best practices in research collaborations involving XSEDE staff; and (4) continued work on gateways and related technologies. In addition, an intriguing question emerged from the day's interactions: would there be value in establishing an annual award for excellence in reproducible research? Overvie

Execution MutionI with Quantitative Temporal Bayesian Networks

The goal ofexec0fiAQ monitoring is to determine whether a system or person is following a plan appropriately. Monitoring information may beunc0AQF0# and the plan being monitored may havec omplex temporalc onstraints. We develop a new framework for reasoning underuncrQ8flI ty with quantitative temporalc onstraints -- Quantitative Temporal Bayesian Networks -- and we disc#2 its applicQF20 to plan-exec02Afl monitoring. QTBNs extend the major previous approac hes to temporal reasoning underuncrQflflI ty: Time Nets (Kanazawa 1991), Dynamic Bayesian Networks and Dynamic Objec Oriented Bayesian Networks (Friedman, Koller, & Pfe#er 1998). We argue that Time Netsct model quantitative temporal relationships butctQ88 easily model thec hanging values of fluents, while DBNs and DOOBNs naturally model fluents, but not quantitative temporal relationships. Both chQICICQFC0 are required forexec#82U monitoring, and are supported by QTBNs
