MaRMI-III: a methodology for component-based development
This study, supported by the Korea Ministry of Information and Communication, contributed to advancing the paradigm of software component-based development by developing a detailed process, techniques, and guidelines for making the most of component technologies. The outcome was a new CBD methodology named Magic and Robust Methodology Integrated III (MaRMI-III). MaRMI-III is now considered as a standard development methodology for using component technologies in Korea.
To date, more than 100 Korean software development companies have adopted the methodology developed in this study
Green Function of the Sutherland Model with SU(2) internal symmetry
We obtain the hole propagator of the Sutherland model with SU(2) internal
symmetry for coupling parameter , which is the simplest nontrivial
case. One created hole with spin down breaks into two quasiholes with spin down
and one quasihole with spin up. While these elementary excitations are
energetically free, the form factor reflects their anyonic character. The
expression for arbitrary integer is conjectured.Comment: 13pages, Revtex, one ps figur
Finite Size Polyelectrolyte Bundles at Thermodynamic Equilibrium
We present the results of extensive computer simulations performed on
solutions of monodisperse charged rod-like polyelectrolytes in the presence of
trivalent counterions. To overcome energy barriers we used a combination of
parallel tempering and hybrid Monte Carlo techniques. Our results show that for
small values of the electrostatic interaction the solution mostly consists of
dispersed single rods. The potential of mean force between the polyelectrolyte
monomers yields an attractive interaction at short distances. For a range of
larger values of the Bjerrum length, we find finite size polyelectrolyte
bundles at thermodynamic equilibrium. Further increase of the Bjerrum length
eventually leads to phase separation and precipitation. We discuss the origin
of the observed thermodynamic stability of the finite size aggregates
Cosmology in a brane-universe
This contribution presents the cosmological models with extra dimensions that
have been recently elaborated, which assume that ordinary matter is confined on
a surface, called brane, embedded in a higher dimensional spacetime.Comment: 12 pages; Invited review talk at the JENAM 2002 workshop on "The

Diffusion-limited loop formation of semiflexible polymers: Kramers theory and the intertwined time scales of chain relaxation and closing
We show that Kramers rate theory gives a straightforward, accurate estimate
of the closing time of a semiflexible polymer that is valid in cases
of physical interest. The calculation also reveals how the time scales of chain
relaxation and closing are intertwined, illuminating an apparent conflict
between two ways of calculating in the flexible limit.Comment: Europhys. Lett., 2003 (in press). 8 pages, 3 figures. See also,

Sustainability performance measurement : a preliminary classification framework of models and indicators
In this position paper we focus on the diversity of sustainability measurements. Based on existing research on performance measurement, we propose a preliminary classification framework summarizing sustainability models and indicators. By describing illustrative examples, we claim that several models and indicators can be distinguished with their own peculiarities. Having such a framework is interesting for both academia and business to structure the range of models and indicators and to ultimately select the appropriate sustainability measurement approach. The proposed framework should be validated by further research
Spin-Charge Separation at Finite Temperature in the Supersymmetric t-J Model with Long-Range Interactions
Thermodynamics is derived rigorously for the 1D supersymmetric {\it t-J}
model and its SU() generalization with inverse-square exchange. The system
at low temperature is described in terms of spinons, antispinons, holons and
antiholons obeying fractional statistics. They are all free and make the spin
susceptibility independent of electron density, and the charge susceptibility
independent of magnetization. Thermal spin excitations responsible for the
entropy of the SU() model are ascribed to free para-fermions of order
.Comment: 10 pages, REVTE
Single-particle Green's functions of the Calogero-Sutherland model at couplings \lambda = 1/2, 1, and 2
At coupling strengths lambda = 1/2, 1, or 2, the Calogero-Sutherland model
(CSM) is related to Brownian motion in a Wigner-Dyson random matrix ensemble
with orthogonal, unitary, or symplectic symmetry. Using this relation in
conjunction with superanalytic techniques developed in mesoscopic conductor
physics, we derive an exact integral representation for the CSM two-particle
Green's function in the thermodynamic limit. Simple closed expressions for the
single-particle Green's functions are extracted by separation of points. For
the advanced part, where a particle is added to the ground state and later
removed, a sum of two contributions is found: the expected one with just one
particle excitation present, plus an extra term arising from fractionalization
of the single particle into a number of elementary particle and hole
excitations.Comment: 19 REVTeX page
