Chefs Today Are Nothing But a Bunch of Punks.

Profile of John Conte, a cook who prepares meals in his eccentric establishment in Rockland, eschewing the terms chef and restaurant. He prefers to think of himself as a fishmonger who purchases fresh fish every day (there is no freezer in the place), and cooks it for whoever finds the unmarked place

ActiveXQBE: A Visual Paradigm for Triggers over XML Data

Abstract. While XQuery is becoming a standard, the W3C is currently discussing the features of an update language for XML, and its requirements. Therefore, time is ripe for designing and defining the language features and extensions that are usually needed when updates are supported: reaction policies to constraint violations, business rules, and more. In the past years, several languages have been proposed for updates as well as for triggers in XML, such as XUpdate and Active XQuery. In this paper, we propose a visual approach to the formulation of active rules building on XQBE, a graphical query language for XML data. Our approach is motivated by the need to provide unskilled users with the ability to express business rules in an intuitive fashion. Visual triggers are then translated into statements that can be interpreted by query engines

Flexible Processes in Project-Centered Learning

Ceri, S., Matera, M., Raffio, A. & Spoelstra, H. (2007). Flexible Processes in Project-Centred Learning. In E. Duval, R. Klamma, and M. Wolpers (Eds.), European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning, Lecture Notes in Computer Science, Vol. 4753, pp. 463-468. Berlin Heidelberg: Springer-VerlagProject-centred learning is increasingly used both in academia and in companies; universities train students to master complex tasks, often suggested by real-life situations, while companies train users to learn about new products, methods, technologies. This paper introduces a model-driven, extensible environ-ent, delivered on the Web, which is able to support long-distance collaboration of teams working on complex projects. The main merit of this proposal is the ability to self-organize processes, by using a simple Web interface and a library of activities and templates which cover most of the needs of this well-defined class of applications. This paradigm for dynamic workflow management is very general and can be applied to other application contexts, after understanding and modelling the relevant collaboration activities and templates
