integrate the repulsion force from the initial separation to infinity and you will get a finite energy change. Set that equal to the final maximum kinetic energy.
integrate with lower bound is 7.1 E-10
and upper bound is infinity.
Then use lim as Rmax approaches infinity, replace upper bound.
Then find velocity by:
Work = (1/2) * m * v^2
v^2 = 2 * Work / m
v = sqrt( 2 * Work / m ).

Infinite Dreams is an old corporation that after some issues disbanded and is now reforming. The original Infinite Dreams was founded by four RL friends. We grew the corporation over a 2 month period from 4 to about 35 active pilots at it's peak. We where recruited into an alliance and quickly took a lead role in the alliance.
Infighting however and power politics within the alliance eventually lead to Infinite Dreams leaving but the damage was done and the corporation was closed. However not forgotten.
When I returned to EVE one of the corps original members joined with me. As the two primary founders we have reopened Infinite Dreams for business. We have learned from the mistakes of the past and are planning for a future.
Currently Infinite Dreams is a mining/refining corporation. We have plans to build our production division once we have stabilzed the companies assets. The corporation is new pilot friendly, we enjoy helping others find the fun in EVE we have found. However we also welcome veteran pilots that want a change.
We have a website in place; http://guildportal.com/Guild.aspx?GuildID=106637&TabID=911936 and welcome people to drop by and chat or want to get more information about us.

Planning a road trip, need EXPEDITION STYLE trail help!!!
Hey guys, living in a big city, I'm starting to go crazy and need to get away for a couple of days. I know this isn't the exact section for this type of post, but I think I can get the most help here. I'm looking for an EXPEDITION type trail, NOT rockcrawling and mudding (basically a dirt road or minor offroading trails to a nice location, ie, mountain top, base of a lake, whatever) somewhere in the North East. Now, I know there is nothing in the immediate vicinity of NYC, but I don't mind driving to get there. Was looking at VT or NH, but I can't find what I am looking for, but I'm sure these roads are there. Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions and can point me in the right direction!!! Open to any/all suggestions anywhere in the NE/WV. Prefer near/on mountains to keep the temps in check in June. Another thing to consider, I am going ONLY with the wife, and I don't think she has enough power to drag the Jeep out of trouble, so that is something to consider. Probably going to camp out, so camping friendly locations would be great as well.
Looking for roads like these, keeping me safe and out of major trouble, while still having some fun.
Thanks a million!

The Chocolate Bayou Festival, Featuring Angie Stone
This two-day fest serves up one of the best buffets of music styles in the city. Among the locals, you've got your top-shelf zydeco in Step Rideau, your red-hot blues in fiery guitarist Sherman Robertson, your sizzling R&B/funk in former Prince/Mavis Staples sideman Rick Marcel, your mellow-cool smooth jazz in saxman Kyle Turner and your soul-saving gospel in Bridgette Taylor. All that, and the Latin orchestra Caliente, plus a renowned national headliner on each day.
The R&B career of Saturday headliner Angie Stone is now heading toward its third full decade. She has showcased her powerful voice in nearly every venue you can think of, from tiny clubs to arenas to Broadway (she did a stint as Matron "Mama" Morton in Chicago). This summer, she's playing a few scattered dates to help promote a forthcoming Greatest Hits Live release, which will feature the best of her three albums for J Records. That trio of discs -- 1999's Black Diamond, 2001's Mahogany Soul and last year's Stone Love -- established the South Carolina native as one of neo-soul's leading ladies.
Sunday headliner Lalah Hathaway was born a soul royal -- Daddy was the incomparable and tragic Donny, and Mama was the classically trained singer Eulaulah -- and the smoky-voiced chanteuse seemed poised to be one of the biggest R&B stars of the last decade when she signed with Virgin in 1990 and released a critically acclaimed debut. But she didn't follow up that album until four years later, and after that waited five years more to team up with Houstonian Joe Sample for 1999's smooth jazz foray The Song Lives On. And then it was another half-decade before last year's Outrun the Sky emerged on Sanctuary. Hathaway's no slacker, though -- between her own albums she was offering up her singing, arranging and piano talents to friends such as Me'Shell N'DegéOcello, Mary J. Blige, Grover Washington and Wayman Tisdale. And despite her sporadic releases, she has lots of rabid fans. Her Web site (www.lalahhathaway.com) has a thriving message board, and Hathaway also ladles out a delicious blog. (Click on "Gumbo" for her trenchant observations on various reality shows and gems like this: "I'm thinking of changing my name to iLalah. 'i' is the new black."

Giorgio de Chirico (Italian pronunciation: July 10, 1888 – November 20, 1978) was a pre-Surrealist and then Surrealist Greek-Italian painter born in Volos, Greece, to a Genovese mother and a Sicilian father. He founded the scuola metafisica art movement. His surname is traditionally written De Chirico (capitalized De) when it stands alone.
Life and works
Love Song 1914After studying art in Athens and Florence, De Chirico moved to Germany in 1906 and entered the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich, where he read the writings of the philosophers Nietzsche and Arthur Schopenhauer, and studied the works of Arnold Böcklin and Max Klinger.
He returned to Italy in the summer of 1909 and spent six months in Milan. At the beginning of 1910, he moved to Florence where he painted the first of his 'Metaphysical Town Square' series, The Enigma of an Autumn Afternoon, after the revelation he felt in Piazza Santa Croce. He also painted The Enigma of the Oracle while in Florence. In July 1911 he spent a few days in Turin on his way to Paris. De Chirico was profoundly moved by what he called the 'metaphysical aspect' of Turin: the architecture of its archways and piazzas. It was the city of Nietzsche. De Chirico moved to Paris in July 1911, where he joined his brother Andrea. Through his brother he met Pierre Laprade, a member of the jury at the Salon d'Automne, where he exhibited three of his works Enigma of the Oracle, Enigma of an Afternoon and Self-Portrait. During 1913 he exhibited his work at the Salon des Indépendants and Salon d'Automne, his work was noticed by Pablo Picasso and Guillaume Apollinaire, he also sold his first painting, The Red Tower. In 1914 through Guillaume Apollinaire, he met the art dealer Paul Guillaume, with whom he signed a contract for his artistic output.
At the outbreak of the First World War, he returned to Italy. Upon his arrival in May 1915 he enlisted in the Italian army, but he was considered unfit for work and assigned to the hospital at Ferrara. He continued to paint, and in 1918, he transferred to Rome. From 1918 his work was exhibited extensively in Europe.
De Chirico is best known for the paintings he produced between 1909 and 1919, his metaphysical period, which are memorable for the haunted, brooding moods evoked by their images. At the start of this period, his subjects were still cityscapes inspired by the bright daylight of Mediterranean cities, but gradually he turned his attention to studies of cluttered storerooms, sometimes inhabited by mannequin-like hybrid figures.
In autumn 1919 De Chirico published an article in Valori Plastici entitled "The Return of Craftsmanship", in which he advocated a return to traditional methods and iconography. This article heralded an abrupt change in his artistic orientation, as he adopted a classicizing manner inspired by such old masters as Raphael and Signorelli, and became an outspoken opponent of modern art.
De Chirico met and married his first wife, the Russian Ballerina Raissa Gurievich in 1924, and together they moved to Paris. In 1928 he held his first exhibition in New York City and shortly afterwards, London. He wrote essays on art and other subjects, and in 1929 published a novel entitled Hebdomeros, the Metaphysician.
In 1930 De Chirico met his second wife, Isabella Pakszwer Far, a Russian, with whom he would remain for the rest of his life. Together they moved to Italy in 1932, finally settling in Rome in 1944.
In 1939 he adopted a neo-Baroque style influenced by Rubens. De Chirico's later paintings never received the same critical praise as did those from his metaphysical period. He resented this, as he thought his later work was better and more mature. He produced backdated "self-forgeries" both to profit from his earlier success, and as an act of revenge—retribution for the critical preference for his early work. He also denounced authentic paintings from his early period, and even his own later self-forgeries, as anonymous forgeries.
He remained extremely prolific even as he approached his 90th year. In 1974 he was elected to the French Académie des Beaux-Arts. He died in Rome on November 20, 1978.
His brother, Andrea de Chirico, who became famous as Alberto Savinio, was also a writer and a painter.
De Chirico won praise for his work almost immediately from writer Guillaume Apollinaire, who helped to introduce his work to the later Surrealists.
Yves Tanguy wrote how one day in 1922 he saw one of De Chirico's paintings in an art dealer's window, and was so impressed by it he resolved on the spot to become an artist — although he had never even held a brush. Other artists who acknowledged De Chirico's influence include Max Ernst, Salvador Dalí, Giorgio Morandi, Carlo Carrà, René Magritte, and Philip Guston. De Chirico strongly influenced the Surrealist movement.
'That de Chirico was a poet, and a great one, is not in dispute. He could condense voluminous feeling through metaphor and association. One can try to dissect these magical nodes of experience, yet not find what makes them cohere... Early de Chiricos are full of such effects. Et quid amabo nisi quod aenigma est? ("What shall I love if not the enigma?")—this question, inscribed by the young artist on his self-portrait in 1911, is their subtext.' (In this, he resembles his more representational American contemporary, Edward Hopper: their pictures' low sunlight, their deep and often irrational shadows, their empty walkways and portentous silences creating an enigmatic visual poetry.)
The visual style of Valerio Zurlini's film The Desert of the Tartars (1976) was influenced by De Chirico's work. Michelangelo Antonioni, the Italian film director, also claimed to be influenced by De Chirico. Some comparison can be made to the long takes in Antonioni's films from the 1960s, in which the camera continues to linger on desolate cityscapes populated by a few distant figures, or none at all, in the absence of the film's protagonists.
Modern photographer Duane Michals was also influenced by De Chirico.
Writers who have apreciated De Chirico include John Ashbery, who has called Hebdomeros "probably...the finest." Several of Sylvia Plath's poems are influenced by De Chirico.
Fumito Ueda's critically acclaimed PlayStation 2 game Ico (and also its sequel, Shadow of the Colossus, in a less direct way) was strongly influenced by De Chirico. Ico features children wandering though huge, ancient and otherwise uninhabited buildings, are predominately yellow and green in colour and use music only for cut-scenes, enhancing the feeling of space and sparseness. The box art for Ico used in Japan and Europe is particularly imitative of De Chirico's Melancholy and Mystery of a Street and The Nostalgia of the Infinite (both 1914).

Do Heavy Drinkers Really Outlive Non-Drinkers?
TIME recently reported on a new study that suggests heavy drinkers outlive non-drinkers. However, as usual with these studies, it's not as cut and dry as the title suggests.
This latest study is a bit very misleading, especially for women. First, it had less than 2,000 participants. Second, only 37% of the participants were women (that's just a few hundred women). Considering the fact that there have been other studies on the harmful effects of alcohol on women, and that these studies have had over a million women participants, I'm not inclined to take this latest study very seriously. It certainly wouldn't be advised that a woman start drinking or increase her drinking based on this study.
Here are a few facts about the dangerous effects that alcohol (even in small amounts) can have on women:
From About.com -- Alcohol Effects and Women
Women have higher risk than men for certain serious medical consequences of alcohol use, including liver, brain and heart damage, according to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism.
From WebMD -- Alcohol Linked to Cancer in Women
Women who drink as little as one alcoholic beverage a day -- be it beer, wine, or hard liquor -- have an increased cancer risk, a study shows. Researchers followed more than 1.2 million middle-aged women for an average of seven years. The women were participants in the ongoing Million Women Study in the U.K.
Those who drank alcohol consumed on average one drink a day. These women had an increased cancer risk with increasing alcohol intake, especially for cancers of the breast, liver, rectum, mouth, throat, and esophagus.
There was one aspect of this TIME article that I found to be somewhat plausible:
But why would abstaining from alcohol lead to a shorter life? It's true that those who abstain from alcohol tend to be from lower socioeconomic classes, since drinking can be expensive. And people of lower socioeconomic status have more life stressors — job and child-care worries that might not only keep them from the bottle but also cause stress-related illnesses over long periods.
Now that actually makes some sense. In addition, this lower income group would also have less access to healthcare and costly medications. However, it still doesn't prove that adding alcohol to the mix would have any benefit at all, and I imagine it would be quite the opposite.
I do think that there is something to be said about the "social" aspect of drinking. I don't believe the benefits are coming from the actual alcohol as much as the physical and mental health benefits of being socially active.
It's also important to point out that many people who are non-drinkers are abstaining from alcohol for medical reasons (and/or medication contraindications). I know this from personal experience. I don't drink because I don't like the way it makes me feel. But what I usually don't mention is that the unpleasant way alcohol makes me feel is directly related to a medical condition of mine. I'm sure that I'm not the only one out there sugar-coating the reasons they choose not to drink (and I don't believe any participants in this recent study were even asked why they choose not to drink). Knowing the reasons non-drinkers don't drink could help explain the strange results of this study.
Obviously, I'm not a researcher, but I am inclined to believe that heavy drinking is NOT the key to a longer life. And I especially hope that women will avoid giving this study any credence at all. There are a million things we can do to improve our overall health and well-being (that don't involve drinking more alcohol and putting ourselves at an increased risk for serious medical conditions).
What do you think about this latest study on drinking and mortality? Did it put a smile on your face thinking you now had an excuse to drink even more? Or were you worried the study was sending the wrong message? You know what I think, I would love to know what you think in comments.

RUSSIAVILLE, Ind. (AP) — Russiaville Deputy Marshal Randy VanNatter woke up Friday morning and went to his back door to greet his K-9 partner named Kayos – a daily ritual he's done since he adopted the Belgian Malinois more than seven years ago.
Then VanNatter remembered Kayos wouldn't be greeting him ever again.
On Thursday, the long-time police dog of the Russiaville Police Department was euthanized after a three-week battle with lymphoma.
"It's hard to look and he's not there," VanNatter said. "It's tough. People that have had to put down a dog know how tough it is."
Kayos was diagnosed with cancer last month. VanNatter took him last Wednesday to a veterinarian for his first chemotherapy treatment, which went well. The canine responded positively to treatment and seemed to be on the rebound.
"He seemed like he was himself and he was being active," he said.
But on Monday, Kayos stopped eating. VanNatter took him back to the vet on Tuesday, where a blood draw revealed a dangerous spike in the number of his white-blood cells. The dog's lymph nodes had swollen to the size of golf balls, he said.
Vets also discovered Kayos was bleeding internally and carrying a pocket of fluid in his stomach. Doctors drained the fluid and were able to temporarily stop the bleeding, but the diagnosis wasn't good.
VanNatter took the dog home. On Thursday morning, his wife called and said Kayos was laying by his kennel unresponsive.
"It was bad," he said. "I knew it was time."
VanNatter said taking his K-9 partner and friend to be euthanized was one of the most difficult decisions he has had to make, but the dog's condition left him little choice.
"A bond that a police officer has with a working police dog is hard to imagine," he said. "When you go through cases where your dog will lay his life down for you, it creates a bond that you can't express."
Kayos died at around 2:45 p.m. Thursday. His body was cremated, and his ashes were given a short procession through Russiaville.
VanNatter said he is having an urn made for Kayos, and he plans to keep his ashes at home.
"I'm sad and I cry, but I'm happy because he's not suffering anymore," he said. "I tell people not to cry tears of sadness for him. It's a joy, because he's not suffering."
Kayos' death wasn't only a blow to VanNatter. It was also a blow to the Russiaville Police Department.
The K-9 was a certified patrol dog with multiple specialties, including tracking, drug detection and bite work. On the last day Kayos served in the department, he helped deputies locate around 40 grams of marijuana, which led to the arrest of six people.
"We just don't know right now what we're going to do, but I'm not going to worry about it for a while," VanNatter said. "I'm just going to miss my buddy for a while and then get back on the ground to find another dog to bring on."
A Go Fund Me page set up for Kayos has raised over $4,000. VanNatter said the money will help pay for all the medical expenses incurred since the dog's diagnosis.
"It's nice knowing we have this extra money and we were able to take care of him like we needed to without worrying where the money came from," he said.
VanNatter said although his K-9's death has been tough, Russiaville residents and those in the law-enforcement community have rallied around him and the police department.
"We appreciate all the thoughts and the prayers and the cards," he said "For a small town, I can't be any more proud of Russiaville."

Software engineering is an capital conduct if designing and implementing top achievement abstracts enterprises. Although software engineers are not certified or accustomed by any standards body, use of software engineers with acquaintance in the Intelligence Community increases affairs of success.
Software Engineering Defined
Software engineering is the appliance of a systematic, disciplined, assessable access to the development, operation, and aliment of software, and the abstraction of these approaches; that is, the appliance of engineering to software. (Source Wikipedia)
Knowledge of programming is the capital pre-requisite to acceptable a software engineer, but it is not sufficient. Abounding software engineers accept degrees in Computer Science or mathematics and physics due to the abridgement of software engineering programs in college education. An organized apperception and an absorption in botheration analytic are aswell prerequisites.
However, as abstracts networks become added circuitous and basal in ample organizations college apprenticeship has started to change with the accession of new software engineering degrees, abnormally in post-graduate education.
Software Engineering as a Discipline
Software engineering contains a amount of abstracted yet commutual disciplines.
* Software requirements
* Software design
* Software development
* Software testing
* Software maintenance
* Software agreement management
* Software engineering management, see aswell activity management
* Software development process
* Software engineering accoutrement and Computer Aided Software Engineering
* Software quality
* Social Software Engineering
Each sub conduct has its own achievement requirements and processes for success.
Jobs in Software Engineering – A Strong Market
Because the acreage of software engineering is ample and growing added circuitous because of the accession of new technologies and applications, the abeyant for job advance is cogent even in a down economy.
According to the Federal Government studies, the appeal for able software engineers is cogent and will abide to grow,
- Computer software engineers are one of the occupations projected to abound the fastest and add the a lot of new jobs over the 2006-16 decade.
- Excellent job affairs are accepted for applicants with at atomic bachelor's amount in computer engineering or computer science and with applied plan experience.
- Computer software engineers accept to always strive to access new abilities in affiliation with the accelerated changes that action in computer technology.
Because computer networks and accretion accouterments and software are growing in ability and complexity, the appeal for able Software engineers is high. As the United States continues to be an advice apprenticed association new, top paying jobs with superior account bales are accessible in the economy.
This is decidedly accurate as the abridgement emerges from its depressed state.
Employment of computer software engineers is projected to access by 38 percent over the 2006 to 2016 period, which is abundant faster than the boilerplate for all occupations. This activity will accomplish about 324,000 new jobs, over the projections decade, one of the better application increases of any occupation.
Significant drivers of advance in the appeal for software engineers cover acceptance of new technologies for advice ability in a aggressive environment. This is decidedly accurate as advice networks abound in composure and interconnect.
In addition, advice aegis apropos and cyber threats accept accustomed acceleration to new software requirements.
Concerns over "cyber security" will aftereffect in businesses and government continuing to advance heavily in software that protects their networks and basic cyberbanking basement from attack. Cyber Aegis has become a above breadth of affair for the U,S, Department of Defense and the Intelligence Community.
Very few organizations are accommodating to assurance the aegis of their networks to low cost, adopted software engineering firms.
Finally, in bread-and-butter and aggressive agreement low amount adopted outsourcing is not a absolute blackmail because software engineering requires accession and acute analysis and development expenditures. (Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics)
One breadth with a amazing appetence for software engineers is the Federal Government. The Federal Government continues to abound and, with the present trend in Government spending, greater appeal for IT and Cyber Aegis engineering specialists will aswell accomplish job demand..
Ensuring Superior Standards – A Problem
While there is amazing appeal for engineering professionals, the systems and networks advised and implemented by software engineers are generally the affection of any ample business of government enterprise. Superior and ability cannot be sacrificed by abominable performance.
Many who alarm themselves "Software Engineer" are not absolutely able and generally aftermath low superior plan output.
Many professions accomplish superior standards through able acceptance boards but able acceptance of software engineers is ambagious and, while abounding appearance it as a apparatus to advance able practice, others accede it as an accidental encumbrance.
In the United States, a lot of acceptance programs in the IT industry are aggressive against specific technologies, and are managed by the vendors of these technologies.
No amount which way the agitation goes, abounding accreditation will not serve as a superior accepted backstop for software engineers in the accountable approaching so other, on the job standards, accept to be acclimated to ensure engineering quality.
Documented accomplished achievement that is favorable or a history of software development in a ambitious industry has now become a above bureau to actuate approaching success.
Software Engineering and the Intelligence Community – Absolute Time Certification
With the absence of any accepted acceptance programs, administration and government account contractors accept to exercise abundant affliction if utilizing software engineers.to architectonics or restore analytical arrangement or action software.
Because networks and the software that run them are acceptable added analytical to business operations and added complex, the affairs of an amateur or amateur software architect assuredly damaging all or allotment of the arrangement has increased.
One above absurdity by an amateur architect could ruin an absolute networking action and accompany down an organization. This is decidedly accurate for ample government.agencies tasked with the accumulating and processing of acute data.
Of all Federal Government agencies, a case can be fabricated that the Intelligence Community [http://www.intelligence.gov/1-members.shtml] is the a lot of ambitious and acute if it comes to software engineering. This akin of arete claim is because of the admeasurement of the abstracts networks complex and the mission requirements to ensure civic security.
In accession to the mission analytical demands of anniversary bureau and its audience for absolute time data, continuous, massive amounts of acute abstracts are calm on a 24×7 basis.
This abstracts accept to be processed, analyzed, adequate and broadcast in an able way that protects civic aegis interests. Abstracts aegis and cyber aegis are new challenges to the software architect and abode added achievement demands..
A architectonics blemish in the architectonics of a arrangement could be baleful for the absolute accumulating arrangement and and the accession of a virus or added cyber aperture could blast the absolute system.
Because of the classified/sensitive attributes of the abstracts calm in the Intelligence Community top akin aegis clearances are aswell appropriate and this places added burdens on the candor of the individual.
Servicing the needs of the Intelligence Community is a ambitious assignment but the acquaintance will analysis the skills, plan belief and acumen of even the a lot of acclimatized software engineer. Thus engineers with IC acquaintance command a exceptional allowance and allowances based aloft proving themselves capable,
When a academic acceptance is not available, ample and all-encompassing software engineering acquaintance in the Intelligence Community on a job candidate's resume is generally a admired absolute time substitute.

The shark has finally surfaced – the 2012 BMW 6 Series coupe has officially arrived. Its lines are tighter, its bite is more potent and it's heading to your local BMW dealership sometime this fall. Under the hood sits the same 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 that our man Chris Paukert sampled in the convertible. It produces 400 horsepower between 5,500 rpm and 6,400 rpm, and a stout 450 pound-feet of torque from 1,750 rpm up through 4,500 rpm.
That power is managed by an eight-speed automatic transmission, which can be controlled manually via a pair of paddle-shifters. Should you prefer to row your own gears in the more traditional manner, a six-speed manual gearbox will also be offered. The engine and both transmission options help propel the car from 0-60 miles per hour in just 4.8 seconds and on to an electronically-limited top speed of 155 mph.
In the cabin, the 2012 6 Series Coupe is filled with BMW's latest gadgetry. A 10.2-inch high-definition screen serves as the nexus of visual information. This modern Sixer boasts available Lane Departure Warning, Active Blind Spot detection, Rear and Top View Cameras, a Parking Assistant and a three-dimensional heads-up display.
This is all just the tip of the iceberg for the 2012 BMW 6 Series Coupe. Don't break out the checkbook just yet, because pricing hasn't been announced. For now, check out the updated two-door in the gallery below. Also, be sure to click past the jump to dive into the full press release.

3rd International Workshop on
The Globalization of Modeling Languages
September 28, 2015, Ottawa, Canada
co-located with MODELS 2015
GEMOC 2015 is now over! You can checkout the slides, and the workshop proceedings published on CEUR.
About | Program | Call | Dates | Committees
About the Workshop
To cope with complexity, modern software-intensive systems are often split in different concerns, which serve diverse stakeholders and must address a variety of concerns. These different concerns are often associated with specialized description languages and technologies, which are based on concern-specific problems and solution concepts. Software developers are thus faced with the challenging task of integrating the different languages and associated technologies used to produce software artifacts in the different concern spaces.
Part of an ongoing series, the proposed GEMOC 2015 will be a full-day workshop that brings together researchers and practitioners in the modeling languages community to discuss the challenges associated with integrating multiple, heterogeneous modeling languages. The languages of interest range from requirements, to design and runtime languages, and include both general-purpose and domain-specific languages. Challenges related to engineering composable languages, well-formed semantic composition of languages and reasoning about systems described using heterogeneous languages are of particular interest.
GEMOC 2015 will provide an open forum for sharing experiences, problems and solutions on the conjoint use of multiple modeling languages. This workshop will be the place where concrete artifacts, ideas and opinions are exchanged in order to reap constructive feedback. Following the two first editions, a major objective is to continue collaborations and to expand a community that is focused on solving the problems arising from the globalization of modeling languages; i.e., the use of multiple DSLs to support coordinated development of diverse aspects of a system.
09:00-09:15: Workshop opening (B. Combemale)
09:15-10:15: Keynote (chair: J. Gray)
Keynote by Bran Selic: "Seeking Meaningful Relationships: A Challenge"
This is not a talk about dating or web sites for the lovelorn. Instead, we consider the somewhat neglected concept of relationship as encountered in computer science and software engineering. In these domains, relationships are encountered in many different forms: as associations and dependencies in modeling languages, as relationships in ER models,In their reputation for science it is usually asserted the best breakthroughs originated from analysts who wanted to know their own self the most appropriate questions. In my opinion, not only because of this, many of these individuals were fortunate and were in the right time and place thanks to their perseverance write my essay This series will be the most crucial element of coming up with a learning. The time spent, time, strategy or even the affect associated with the report while in the controlled area be determined by this period really being administered in the right manner. On the flip side, also, it is most likely the most tedious stage to organize. There are thousands of factors that vary depending wholly on you and your rapport with the elected subject.
as pointers and references in programming languages, and so on. In most of these cases, the concept of a relationship is defined primarily in syntactic terms, devoid of meaningful contextual information such as the specific semantics of the entities that are being related or the significance and exact nature of the connection between them. Even the so-called "semantic Web", which is purported to focus semantics, reduces relationships to generic syntactic categories (e.g., subject-predicate-object). This seems like a wasted opportunity, since available meaningful information about the nature of a relationship is being discarded. As a result, responsibility for supporting the semantics of relationships is shifted to custom program code. The consequence of this is that we have to write new code for each specific type of relationship, leading to a needless profusion of complex and problematic software.
In this talk, we pose a challenge to the modeling community: how can we enrich the concept of relationships with useful context-specific (i.e., semantic) information. One of the most obvious potential benefits of this wold be simpler and more generic software. In a way, this appears to be merely an evolution of the key idea behind the object paradigm, where the semantics of an object are the responsibility of the object itself.

01:30-05:00: Session 2: Looking at the past and the future of the globalization of modeling languages
This session is an open forum for the workshop participants to discuss their past contributions and future research focus. The goal is to cross-fertilize ideas and to act as an incubator for short and long term collaborations. The afternoon session is split into discussion periods that each look at the past and future concerns of the globalization of modeling languages.
Looking at the Past: This is a flexible session that aims to provide a big picture of the activities realized, by the community, during the previous year through short, informal and interruptible presentations (whiteboard, few slides, pictures, poster, demo, or whatever can help). The presentations last from 1 to 20 minutes, including a substantial discussion portion. The program of this session will include, but not restricted to:
- BCOOL: A Behavioral Coordination Operator Language
- MoccML: A Meta-Language for the Concurrency Concern in DSLs
- Melange: Modular and Reusable DSL Design and Implementation
- Omniscient Debugging within the GEMOC Studio
- On the usefulness of Model Tying for Enterprise Architecture
- Traceability Between Requirements, Design, and Implementation
- etc.
Looking toward the Future: This second session offers additional flexibility with a focus on new and emerging ideas that the community is working on. Participants will be encouraged to think about the globalization of modeling languages from "outside of the box." The goal is to help define the future challenge problems and research focus of the community (e.g., definition and prioritization of new threads of work, new collaborations or even new themes). Presentations related to the globalization of modeling languages are open to everyone and will be informal/interactive. The maximum presentation time is 20 minutes including a substantial portion of discussions.The program of this session will include, but not restricted to:
- FMI for the GEMOC Studio
The format of the workshop reflects the goals of the workshop: constructive feedback on submitted papers and models on the conjoint use of different modeling languages, collaboration, and community building. The format of the workshop is that of a working meeting. Hence, there is less of a focus on presentations and more focus on producing and documenting a research roadmap that identifies challenges, different forms of language integration, and relates existing solutions.
The workshop will consist of a morning session in which a keynote and short presentations of the accepted papers will be given. A significant amount of time will be reserved for discussion of each paper and their relations to each other. The afternoon will be devoted to a working session dedicated to open discussions of the presented contributions and other topics suggested by the participants. We will lead the discussion towards a classification of existing and proposed forms of language integration, as well as a description of the language interfaces required in the context of the globalization of modeling languages. We will close with a working session to develop a plan to publish the results of the discussion in a final workshop report.
Call for Papers / Models
Context and Motivation
This proposed 2015 edition of the GEMOC workshop will follow the successful previous two editions: GEMOC at MODELS 2013 in Miami, FL, USA, and GEMOC at MODELS 2014 in Valencia, Spain. This new edition will complete the state of the art and practice initiated last year. This edition will also investigate the language interfaces required in the context of the globalization of modeling languages, and the possible relationships with the viewpoint engineering. It will also strengthen the community that broadens the current DSML research focus beyond the development of independent DSMLs to a research focus that provides support for globalized DSMLs.
GEMOC 2015 is supported by the GEMOC initiative, which promotes research seeking to develop the necessary breakthroughs in software languages to support global software engineering, i.e., breakthroughs that lead to effective technologies supporting different forms of language integration, including language collaboration, interoperability and composability.
The topics of interest for GEMOC 2015 include:
- Composability and interoperability of heterogeneous modeling languages
- Language integration challenges, from requirement to design, for analysis and simulation, during runtime, etc.
- Model and metamodel composition
- Language interface, viewpoint
- Heterogeneous modeling and simulation
- Language-based socio-technical coordination
Submissions describing practical and industrial experience related to the use of heterogeneous modeling languages are also encouraged, particularly in the following application domains:
- Cyber-Physical Systems, System of Systems
- Internet of Services, Internet of Things
- Complex Adaptive Systems
- Smart City, Smart Building, Home automation
Types of Contributions
As contributions, we expect descriptions of case studies on the coordinated use of multiple modeling languages, and/or descriptions of practical experience, opinions and related approaches. Authors will be invited to submit short papers describing (i) their language integration experience, or (ii) novel approaches for integrating modeling languages. Authors will also be invited to provide archived full versions of models used to illustrate their novel approach or experience on the Repository for Model-Driven Development (ReMoDD). This will allow participants to share their models with each other and the wider modeling community before and after the workshop.
Each contribution must be described in a short paper not exceeding 6 pages in the LNCS format (to be confirmed according to the requirements from the main conference). Each paper should describe problems, case studies, or solutions related to the topics of interest. Each paper is expected to highlight the relationships between modeling languages, as well as their management.
Papers that describe use cases, or novel integration approaches can be accompanied by concrete artifacts, such as models (requirements, design, analysis, transformation, composition, etc.), stored in ReMoDD. Artifacts should illustrate any experience on the conjoint use of different modeling languages.
Submitted articles must not have been previously published or currently submitted for publication elsewhere. The program chairs will apply the principles of the ACM Plagiarism Policy throughout the submission and review process. All contributions will be reviewed and selected by the program committee members.
Each contribution must not exceed 6 pages in the LNCS format and must be submitted electronically in pdf format via Easychair.
In addition, the concrete models referenced in a contribution should be submitted to ReMoDD.
The accepted papers will be published by CEUR in the workshop proceedings, which is indexed by DBLP. Moreover, the models will be published on ReMoDD. Also, participants will be strongly encouraged to participate in preparing the workshop report.

Beautiful set.
We just received this set a few days ago, and we're very pleased. It looks just like the pictures and is of good quality.Read More
Brandon/LaCrosse Living Room Set
After 35 days waiting, because of "lost" shipment via MXD and Delaney Shipping (Syracuse NY) and hours on the phone with useless "customer service" people, the furniture finally arrived. The wait and frustration has disappeared. Only have had it for 3 days but we are very pleased with the quality of this set. Absolutely beautiful and so comfortable although a little stiff, which is expected with quality leather and construction. It is beginning to soften up and gets more comfortable by the day. We were hesitant to spend this kind of money sight unseen but are pleased that we did. Only thing we regret is having to deal with pretty much useless support from Overstock, MXD, and Delaney. Only the threat of NYS Attorney General brought much needed help from MXD and Delaney, Overstock help was also very poor.Read More
Nice furniture
This had some scuffs that were incurred along the way from Canada to New Mexico, but Overstock handled very well. I like the furniture a lot!Read More
Love, love, love!
I had looked for actual "leather" furniture for several years. Many pieces at our local furniture stores are bonded leather. This set is 100% genuine leather. Absolutely beautiful! I had never orders furniture without actually seeing it in person but this set had so many positive reviews, I decided to give it a chance. So glad I did. It looks and feels wonderful. Very happy with my purchase.Read More

Brandon leather furniture
We have owned this leather sofa, loveseat and chair for several months now and waited to write a review until we could use it for a while. I am happy to report that we are extremely pleased withe furniture. It is very comfortable the quality is superb. The furniture is better than expected and was substantially less that what stores in our area were changing for similar leather furniture. The leather is a beautiful distress leather and is very soft. It has held up well with our young kids and it easy to keep to keep clean. The furniture heavy and solid and the quality is evident. Delivery was quick (about 3 weeks) and easy and they delivery guys were prompt and courteous. They even took away all the packaging. Overall we are thrilled with our new leather furniture and would recommend to anyone considering buying it.Read More
Brandon Leather sofa set outstanding!!!!
Today we received our new Brandon Distressed Whiskey Italian Leather Sofa set. It is amazing the quality of this sofa for the price. I researched and found sets that appealed to my liking in the neighborhood of $6500-$6900 for a 3 - piece set. I read the reviews on line and then researched the manufacturer in canada that makes this unit and decided to pull the trigger. In addition the set was on a incredible sale from overstock it well worth the gamble. The one concern that I had about it but found confirmation through the reviews was would this set be able to fit through a 36" front door. Two reviewers said this would be no problem if the handlers know what they doing. There were some other reviewers that said that it cannot fit through a 36" doorway. LET ME BE THE ONE TO CONFIRM. THIS SET HAS NO PROBLEM FITTING THROUGH A 36 INCH DOORWAY. The next impressive thing is that the window for shipping and delivery was estimated to be 1-4 weeks from confirmation of the order. From the time of my order to today (delivery day) is 1 week and 2 days. Outstanding. Communication from the shippers was complete and accurate. Once the sofa set arrived in Irving Texas from Canada I was contacted for delivery and even set up for saturday delivery so that I would not have to worry about having someone on site during a week day. I received a confirmation call two days before the delivery day and the day before delivery with a 2-hour window frame for delivery. In addition on the day of delivery the handlers called me when they were 10 minutes from my house. Next when the sofa set arrived at the house I was immediately pleased to see how well wrapped they were in blankets and shrink wrap. The senior handler Moses introduced himself and said show me where you want the set and evaluated the path to the room and then he said no problem I been doing this since 1994, your set is safe with us. Sounds impressive but he was correct they moved the whole entire set in place within 20 minutes. I noticed that they really did have great experience because they knew just how to turn the sofa set to enter the front door. It looked like a breeze with the way they handled it. As they set each piece down and unwrapped the blankets and shrink wrap Moses said: please have a look over each unit and make sure that it is to you approval. Everything was in tact and no marring or scratches were noted. It was truly a white glove experience. Then at the close Moses explained the satisfaction policy, had me sign and they were on their way. All this and the Sofa Set is even better looking than the pictures depict. This is definitely a high quality set and the price was incredible. I am so glad that I purchased this set when I did. This is the first large purchase that I have made with overstock.com and one that gives me great confidence with odering large ticket items from them in the future. Great job Overstock.com and great choice of sofa vendor manufacturer (Sofaweb). Again the quality of the sofa set is outstandingRead More
Nice furniture, but the studs ARE NOT BRASS!
I like the furniture for itself, but I am very disappointed as the studs, advertised as brass, are a strange greeny-grey color. This means the set does not work in my living room. I'm not sure whether I'm going to keep it--I find this very distressing and wish manufacturers/sellers wouldn't say things in their descriptions that aren't true.Read More
Very good quality
I just received my 3 pieces...I must say they are very nice. However, it appears they were stacked on top of each other and sat in the warehouse 3 weeks. There are two indentations on the arms the size of the foot. Overstock is handling this issue with the warehouse and I'm sure all will be taken care of. The only other thing I can say is that they are actually darker than in the picture. I was expecting a caramel color somewhat. The pieces are actually dark brown with an undertone of a slight red.Read More
Questions & Answers
The seat cushions are made of foam with fiber wrap.
"are the cushions attached or can they be turned over?"
The cushions are removable but they are not reversible.
"can i get a matching ottoman and do they also make a reclining rocker to match"
Please check out, the Alligator-embossed Foot Stool Ottoman, item 14877875 and the International Caravan Faux Leather Half-Moon Ottoman, item 14040242 or the Faux Leather Upholstered Ottomans (set of 3), item 17669127, this is unusual and has great texture, the Imax Pacino Animal Hide Ottoman, item 16841536. We have the 'Nobility' Cedar and Leather Rocking Chair (Peru), item 10866892 and the Sunny Designs Sedona Oak Hardwood T-Cushion Seat and Back Rocker, item 17181306. A matching ottoman and rocker are unavailable. So, we found other options that would work well with this set.
"Can this set be returned if we don't like it? And if so, how does return shipping work?"
You can return most items in new or unused condition for a full refund minus the return shipping. For any return that is our fault we will cover the return shipping back to our warehouse. You can view the full return policy at the following url: https://help.overstock.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1 Please let us know if you have any questions.
"Hi I have two questions pertaining to this sofa set. Do the legs come off to make delivery into a home easier? What is the warranty on this unit from the manufacturer? Thanks"
Hello jayson, the legs do come off, this does not include a warranty; however, you do have the option to purchase a 5 year accidental damage plan. Thanks for shopping with us!
"We are interested in purchasing this leather set. For those of you that have owned for an extended amount of time now, can you please tell us how the furniture is holding up please? Thank you for your time!"
Hello christie71, we can appreciate the fact you want a firsthand account of the product. You will receive an email notification every time you get a response. Thank you for shopping with us.
We've had this set for a year. We have 2 and 4 year old boys. They have done well. The leather is easy to clean. The initial sofa had a problem with one of the panels on the armrest and we had to fight with overstock for a month to get it replaced. But we LOVE this furniture. The chair is by a south facing window and the leather is definitely fading from sun exposure (we aren't as diligent as we should be with treating the leather). But the furniture is holding up well. Obviously, places we sit more, the cushions are a bit flatter, but this is by far the best furniture we've owned. We really like it. ZERO regrets about purchasing it.
"Why did you choose this product?"
Good reviews, plus I love the look and it has no seams on the arms or seating area.
It is 100% leather on all surfaces, has white glove delivery, and is the perfect color. Hopefully it is as good as everything else I have ordered from Overstock.
Reviews of quality and presence of this sofa set are rated high. In addition customers indicated that this unit can fit through 36" doorways.
Built a new lake home and this is perfect!!
"Hello, could you please tell me how true the color is compared to your photos? Thank you"
Hello Patrick, we try to represent the colors of our products accurately. Unfortunately, due to the difference in monitor colors we cannot guarantee that the color will match exactly what you see on your screen. Thank you for shopping with us.
"When the manufacturer references "hardwood" construction, what type of wood is used? Also what "grade" of leather are they using? Thanks!"
Hello eschwab21, The species of hardwood depends on what's available from the mill. The leather grade is 100-percent distressed top grain, aniline-dyed, Italian leather. Have a great day!
"Is the frame put together with screws"
Hello pennpete, the frame is assembled with screws, staples, dowels, glue, brackets and corner blocks. Thank you for shopping with us!
"It is listed that these pieces are manufactured in Canada, but when this question was asked of the sofa and loveseat the answer was China. Could you tell me which is correct. Thank you."
Thank you for contacting us pennpete. We apologize for the confusion we might have caused. I can comfirm that this is made in Canada. Please let us know if you have any further questions.
"Where is this manufactured?"
Hello conray, we appreciate you inquiry. This item was manufactured in Canada. We hope you have found this information helpful. Thank you for shopping with us. Have great day!
"Do you know what grade leather this is? The manufacturer offers several different grades."
Thank you for your question and I sincerely apologize for the delayed response. Unfortunately, we weren't able to obtain the exact leather grade. This is however, the highest grade of leather this manufacturer offers on Overstock.com.
"Can I purchase two chairs and a loveseat rather than the spfa, loveseat, chair combination?"
I am very sorry but at this time this is the only combination we have for this beautiful set. Have a great day!
"Is it possible to obtain a swatch?"
Unfortunately, we do not have the option to send swatches.
"who is manufacturer?"
The sofa is manufactured by Sofaweb.
