Friday, March 20th, 2009

There many particles, elementary and not so, force carriers and matter ones. Some of them are fermions and some bosons. All this classification confused me when I started reading various popular and semi-popular books about modern physics.

Revisions will come and some object diagrams of Standard Model too.

Software Accommodation

Wednesday, March 4th, 2009

This is a software meta-process when systems, subsystems, objects, components and interfaces adapt to: 1) differences in software entities and its users; 2) software tension and software conflict arising inside software; 3) tension and conflict between software, hardware and its users. At the same time underlying causes are not resolved and software inequality is not eliminated or not changed. Software accommodation process changes the structure and behaviour of software entities to fit the demands of software and hardware environments and their users.
