description: Context. Evolution of massive stars is affected by a significant loss of mass either via (nearly) spherically symmetric stellar winds or by aspherical mass-loss mechanisms, namely the outflowing equatorial disks. However, the scenario that leads to the formation of a disk or rings of gas and dust around massive stars is still under debate. Aims. We study the hydrodynamic and thermal structure of optically thick, dense parts of outflowing circumstellar disks that may be formed around various types of critically rotating massive stars, for example, Be stars, B[e] supergiant (sgB[e]) stars or Pop III stars. Methods. We specify the optical depth of the disk along the line-of-sight from stellar poles. Within the optically thick dense region we calculate the vertical disk thermal structure using the diffusion approximation while for the optically thin outer layers we assume a local thermodynamic equilibrium with the impinging stellar irradiation. We use two of our own types of hydrodynamic codes: two-dimensional operator-split numerical code and unsplit code based on the Roe's method. Results. Our models show the geometric distribution and contribution of viscous heating that begins to dominate in the central part of the disk. In the models of dense viscous disks the viscosity increases the central temperature up to several tens of thousands of Kelvins. The high mass-loss rates and high viscosity lead to instabilities with significant waves or bumps in density and temperature in the very inner disk region. Conclusions. The two-dimensional radial-vertical models of dense outflowing disks including the full Navier-Stokes viscosity terms show very high temperatures that are however limited to only the central disk cores inside the optically thick area, while near the edge of the optically thick region the temperature may be low enough for the existence of neutral hydrogen.

description: Although architecture-based self-adaptation has been widely used, there is still little understanding about the validity and tradeoffs of incorporating it into real-world software-intensive systems which already feature built-in adaptation mechanisms. In this paper, we report on our experience in integrating Rainbow, a platform for architecture-based self-adaptation, and an industrial middleware employed to monitor and manage highly populated networks of devices. Specifically, we reflect on aspects such as the effort required for framework customization and legacy code refactoring, performance improvement, and the impact of architecture-based self-adaptation on system evolution.

description: Dynamic equations for quantum fields far from equilibrium are derived by use of functional renormalisation group techniques. The obtained equations are non-perturbative and lead substantially beyond mean-field and quantum Boltzmann type approximations. The approach is based on a regularised version of the generating functional for correlation functions where times greater than a chosen cutoff time are suppressed. As a central result, a time evolution equation for the non-equilibrium effective action is derived, and the time-evolution of the Green functions is computed within a vertex expansion. It is shown that this agrees with the dynamics derived from the 1/N-expansion of the two-particle irreducible effective action.

description: We propose a new approach to calculate van der Waals forces between nanoparticles where the van der Waals energy can be reduced to the energy of elementary surface plasmon oscillations in nanoparticles. The general theory is applied to describe the interaction between 2 metallic nanoparticles and between a nanoparticle and a perfectly conducting plane. Our results could be used to prove experimentally the existence of plasmonic molecules and to elaborate new control mechanisms for the adherence of nanoparticles between each other or onto surfaces.

Spatial Lattice Modulation for MIMO Systems

description: This paper proposes spatial lattice modulation (SLM), a spatial modulation method for multipleinput-multiple-output (MIMO) systems. The key idea of SLM is to jointly exploit spatial, in-phase, and quadrature dimensions to modulate information bits into a multi-dimensional signal set that consists oflattice points. One major finding is that SLM achieves a higher spectral efficiency than the existing spatial modulation and spatial multiplexing methods for the MIMO channel under the constraint ofM-ary pulseamplitude-modulation (PAM) input signaling per dimension. In particular, it is shown that when the SLM signal set is constructed by using dense lattices, a significant signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) gain, i.e., a nominal coding gain, is attainable compared to the existing methods. In addition, closed-form expressions for both the average mutual information and average symbol-vector-error-probability (ASVEP) of generic SLM are derived under Rayleigh-fading environments. To reduce detection complexity, a low-complexity detection method for SLM, which is referred to as lattice sphere decoding, is developed by exploiting lattice theory. Simulation results verify the accuracy of the conducted analysis and demonstrate that the proposed SLM techniques achieve higher average mutual information and lower ASVEP than do existing methods.

description: Declarative modeling uses symbolic expressions to represent models. With such expressions one can formalize high-level mathematical computations on models that would be difficult or impossible to perform directly on a lower-level simulation program, in a general-purpose programming language. Examples of such computations on models include model analysis, relatively general-purpose model-reduction maps, and the initial phases of model implementation, all of which should preserve or approximate the mathematical semantics of a complex biological model. The potential advantages are particularly relevant in the case of developmental modeling, wherein complex spatial structures exhibit dynamics at molecular, cellular, and organogenic levels to relate genotype to multicellular phenotype. Multiscale modeling can benefit from both the expressive power of declarative modeling languages and the application of model reduction methods to link models across scale. Based on previous work, here we define declarative modeling of complex biological systems by defining the operator algebra semantics of an increasingly powerful series of declarative modeling languages including reaction-like dynamics of parameterized and extended objects; we define semantics-preserving implementation and semantics-approximating model reduction transformations; and we outline a "meta-hierarchy" for organizing declarative models and the mathematical methods that can fruitfully manipulate them.

description: We study the conjectured exact S-matrix for the scattering of BPS magnon boundstates in the spin-chain description of planar N=4 SUSY Yang-Mills. The conjectured S-matrix exhibits both simple and double poles at complex momenta. Some of these poles lie parametrically close to the real axis in momentum space on the branch where particle energies are positive. We show that all such poles are precisely accounted for by physical processes involving one or more on-shell intermediate particles belonging to the known BPS spectrum.

description: As new market opportunities, technologies, platforms, and frameworks become available, systems require large-scale and systematic architectural restructuring to accommodate them. Today’s architects have few techniques to help them plan this architecture evolution. In particular, they have little assistance in planning alternative evolution paths, trading off various aspects of the different paths, or knowing best practices for particular domains. In this paper, we describe an approach for planning and reasoning about architecture evolution. Our approach focuses on providing architects with the means to model prospective evolution paths and supporting analysis to select among these candidate paths. To demonstrate the usefulness of our approach, we show how it can be applied to an actual architecture evolution. In addition, we present some theoretical results about our evolution path constraint specification language.
Everyday Dependability for Everyday Needs

description: Everyday software must be dependable for the needs of everyday people. Everyday people can usually intervene when software misbehaves, and problems with their software are usually irritating but not catastrophic. Everyday software must thus provide cost-effective service with reasonable amounts of human attention. Dependability for these everyday needs arises from matching dependability levels to actual needs, achieving reasonably low failure rates at reasonable cost, providing understandable mechanisms to recognize and deal with failure, and enabling creation of individually-tailored systems and configurations from available resources. This leads to different challenges from mission-critical systems that operate autonomously and risk catastrophic failure.

Much everyday software depends on inexpensive or free information resources available dynamically over the Internet or through retail channels. Much of this software runs on mobile devices with limited power. Increasingly, it is composed by its users rather than by professionals, and the resulting software uses information resources in ways that the resources" creators could not anticipate. In the near future user-managed configurations will have to interact acceptably with configurations managed by other users. Software development in this setting requires methods that tolerate incomplete knowledge, pursue value rather than simply capability, and base reasoning on aggregate rather than fully-detailed information. We will identify research challenges that arise from the need for everyday dependability and give examples of current Carnegie Mellon research that addresses these challenges.

description: Current algorithms for bounded model checking use SAT methods for checking satisfiability of Boolean formulae. These methods suffer from the potential memory explosion problem. Methods based on the validity of Quantified Boolean Formulae (QBF) allow an exponentially more succinct representation of formulae to be checked, because no "unrolling" of the transition relation is required. These methods have not been widely used, because of the lack of an efficient decision procedure for QBF. We evaluate the usage of QBF in bounded model checking (BMC), using general-purpose SAT and QBF solvers. We develop a special-purpose decision procedure for QBF used in BMC, and compare our technique with the methods using general-purpose SAT and QBF solvers on real-life industrial benchmarks.

description: The property of Positive Equality [2] dramatically speeds up validity checking of formulas in the logic of Equality with Uninterpreted Functions and Memories (EUFM) [4]. The logic expresses correctness of high-level microprocessors. We present EVC (Equality Validity Checker)—a tool that exploits Positive Equality and other optimizations when translating a formula in EUFM to a propositional formula, which can then be evaluated by any Boolean satisfiability (SAT) procedure. EVC has been used for the automatic formal verification of pipeli ned,superscalar, and VLIW microprocessors.

Using this enhancement at supergravity level we can identify the global supergroup of the near horizon geometry. In particular we show how this supergroup distinguishes between small and large black holes in N=2 case.

description: This paper presents a method to automatically generate compact symbolic performance models of analog circuits with no prior specification of an equation template. The approach takes SPICE simulation data as input, which enables modeling of any nonlinear circuits and circuit characteristics. Genetic programming is applied as a means of traversing the space of possible symbolic expressions. A grammar is specially designed to constrain the search to a canonical form for functions. Novel evolutionary search operators are designed to exploit the structure of the grammar. The approach generates a set of symbolic models which collectively provide a tradeoff between error and model complexity. Experimental results show that the symbolic models generated are compact and easy to understand, making this an effective method for aiding understanding in analog design. The models also demonstrate better prediction quality than posynomials.

description: This paper describes and evaluates a modification to the segmentation model used in the unsupervised morphology induction system, ParaMor. Our improved segmentation model permits multiple morpheme boundaries in a single word. To prepare ParaMor to effectively apply the new agglutinative segmentation model, two heuristics improve ParaMor’s precision. These precision-enhancing heuristics are adaptations of those used in other unsupervised morphology induction systems, including work by Hafer and Weiss (1974) and Goldsmith (2006). By reformulating the segmentation model used in ParaMor, we significantly improve ParaMor’s performance in all language tracks and in both the linguistic evaluation as well as in the task based information retrieval (IR) evaluation of the peer operated competition Morpho Challenge 2007. ParaMor’s improved morpheme recall in the linguistic evaluations of German, Finnish, and Turkish is higher than that of any system which competed in the Challenge. In the three languages of the IR evaluation, our enhanced ParaMor significantly outperforms, at average precision over newswire queries, a morphologically naïve baseline; scoring just behind the leading system from Morpho Challenge 2007 in English and ahead of the first place system in German.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: To assess treatment patterns and initial and maintenance dosing of biologics over 3 years in pediatric patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn’s disease (CD), utilizing data from the ImproveCareNow registry. Pediatric patients diagnosed with UC or CD and aged 2–17 years were included in the study. Descriptive statistics were employed to summarize baseline demographics. The proportion of patients on medication for UC or CD were analyzed at the baseline visit, 1-year, and 3-year time points (Cohort 1). Biologic maintenance dosage was calculated only for patients who had data for dose and weight at all-time points (Cohort 2). In Cohort 1 (UC = 1784; CD = 4720), baseline treatment in UC included corticosteroid, 5-ASA, and 6-MP/AZA; at 1-year and 3-year time points, treatment with 5-ASA and corticosteroid decreased, whereas 6-MP/AZA and anti-TNFs increased. In CD, baseline treatment included corticosteroid, anti-TNF, 6-MP/AZA, and methotrexate; use of corticosteroids decreased, whereas the use of methotrexate and anti-TNFs increased over 3 years. In Cohort 2 (UC = 350; CD = 1537), at first maintenance dose, UC patients on infliximab received a mean dose of 10.5 mg/kg/8 wk, adalimumab (weight < 40 kg and ≥40 kg) 1.3 mg/kg/2 wk and 0.8 mg/kg/2 wk, and vedolizumab 6.9 mg/kg/8 wks. At the first maintenance dose, CD patients on infliximab received a mean dose of 8.1 mg/kg/8 wk, adalimumab (weight < 40 kg) 1.1 mg/kg/2 wk, adalimumab (weight ≥ 40 kg) 0.8 mg/kg/2 wk, and vedolizumab 10.5 mg/kg/8 wks. The use of corticosteroids was common at the initial visit in patients. Anti-TNFs remain the most used class of biologics, however, reported doses in our study were substantially higher than the standard dosing guidelines.

subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: This paper presents an algorithm for estimating the dynamics parameters of an N degrees-of-freedom robotic manipulator. In our previous work [8] it was shown that the Newton-Euler model model which is nonlinear in the dynamic parameters can be transformed into an equivalent modified model which is linear in dynamic parameters. To introduce our identification algorithm, we cast this modified Newton-Euler model in a form wherein the joint torques/forces are expressed as a product of a matrix and a vector of dynamics parameters. The elements of this matrix are a function of the joint variables and the kinematic parameters only. The dynamics parameters are then estimated from this linear (in dynamics parameters) formulation using the least squares estimation method. We have implemented our algorithm and the results of this experimental implementation to estimate the dynamics parameters of the six degrees-of-freedom CMU DD Arm 11 are presented. The estimated dynamics parameters have also been used to evaluate the effect of dynamics compensation in model-based manipulator control methods.

description: Sharing economy is a transformative socio-economic phenomenon built around the idea of sharing underused resources and services, e.g. transportation and housing, thereby reducing costs and extracting value. Anticipating continued reduction in the cost of electricity storage, we look into the potential opportunity in electrical power system where consumers share storage with each other. We consider two different scenarios. In the first scenario, consumers are assumed to already have individual storage devices and they explore cooperation to minimize the realized electricity consumption cost. In the second scenario, a group of consumers is interested to invest in joint storage capacity and operate it cooperatively. The resulting system problems are modeled using cooperative game theory. In both cases, the cooperative games are shown to have non-empty cores and we develop efficient cost allocations in the core with analytical expressions. Thus, sharing of storage in cooperative manner is shown to be very effective for the electric power system.

description: Ice hockey, as a sport, has received praise for its efforts to promote the inclusion of gay and bisexual men, and more recently, lesbian and bisexual women and transgender people (Heraux 2019). The sport also pioneered the ‘pride game’ concept (also sometimes called pride nights), which are regularly scheduled, rainbow-themed games held to promote the inclusion of LGBT people in sport. Despite these efforts, the lack of openly gay male professional hockey players and evidence that homophobic language remains common in the sport suggests approaches being used may need to be reconsidered. This paper examines if pride games, which have been adopted globally, are an effective way to drive change to homophobic language. This research responds to the need for pragmatic, evidence-based intervention approaches that can be used to reduce harm to LGBT people from homophobic behaviour in sport.

description: Application materials submitted in answer to the RDA Open Call for cross disciplinary science adoption grants call (provider: EOSC Future).

This call was open from 11 April 2022 to 11 July 2022 and offered a maximum of €50.000 per grant. The call specifically targeted smaller community projects to show cross-disciplinary implementation and take up of Research Data Alliance (RDA) Recommendations and Outputs within the EOSC context. Emphasis was on supporting and encouraging examples of adoption of existing RDA recommendations and other outputs which can benefit the community around EOSC and to promote examples and lessons learnt, especially around open and community-led standards, and cross-domain interoperability.

The REPOPSI team answered this call and was awarded a €50.000 grant for a nine-month project (October 2022 – July 2023) titled TRUST-ification and FAIR-ification of an open repository for research instruments in psychology: REPOPSI's adoption of RDA outputs. The project was led by the University of Belgrade Faculty of Philosophy.

This record contains the completed call form, along with the budget, timeline, and compiled CVs of the members of the team.

REPOPSI is an open digital repository for Open Access psychological scales, tests, and other research instruments translated into Serbian or developed by Serbian scientists. By implementing RDA recommendations and other outputs, this project aimed to improve REPOPSI’s TRUST-worthiness as well as the FAIR-ness of its (meta)data. The project focused on building the repository’s technologies needed to improve its adherence especially to the principles of User Focus, Sustainability, Findability, and Interoperability. Dissemination and community activities were designed to promote further uptake of project outputs. To increase the number of REPOPSI records, three master’s students were trained to search open doctoral theses in psychology and document instruments available in them.

description: The current study examined the influence of contexts’ emotional arousal on prediction and integration of words during sentence comprehension. In sentence context, we manipulated the emotional arousal of verbs and the predictability of their following neutral nouns. At the anticipatory stage of the upcoming nouns, a larger sustained negativity was elicited in the highly constraining than the weakly constraining sentences for the neutral verbs but not for the emotional verbs. The results reflect reduced processing loads in response to the pre-activation of the highly predictable nouns when the emotional verbs automatically captured sufficient attentional resources. At the integration stage of the nouns, we found reduced N400 and LPC amplitudes for the highly versus weakly predictable nouns in both the emotionally arousing and non-arousing conditions. The findings suggest that the emotional arousal of context interacts with the prediction of upcoming words, but not the integration of the bottom-up inputs.

description: The gaps separating two different states widely exist in various physical systems: from the electrons in periodic lattices to the analogs in photonic, phononic, plasmonic systems, and even quasicrystals. Recently, a thermalization gap, an inaccessible range of photon statistics, was proposed for light in disordered structures [Nat. Phys. 11, 930 (2015)], which is intrinsically induced by the disorder-immune chiral symmetry and can be reflected by the photon statistics. The lattice topology was further identified as a decisive role in determining the photon statistics when the chiral symmetry is satisfied. Being very distinct from one-dimensional lattices, the photon statistics in ring lattices are dictated by its parity, i.e, odd or even sited. Here, we for the first time experimentally observe a parity-induced thermalization gap in strongly disordered ring photonic structures. In a limited scale, though the light tends to be localized, we are still able to find clear evidence of the parity-dependent disorder-immune chiral symmetry and the resulting thermalization gap by measuring photon statistics, while strong disorder-induced Anderson localization overwhelms such a phenomenon in larger-scale structures. Our results shed new light on the relation among symmetry, disorder, and localization, and may inspire new resources and artificial devices for information processing and quantum control on a photonic chip.

description: In this paper, the program control unit of an embedded RISC processor is enhanced with a novel zero-overhead loop controller (ZOLC) supporting arbitrary loop structures with multiple-entry/exit nodes. The ZOLC has been incorporated to an open RISC processor core to evaluate the performance of the proposed unit for alternative configurations of the selected processor. It is proven that speed improvements of 8.4% to 48.2% are feasible for the used benchmarks.

description: Social network analysis has been used to understand groups of individuals and how they operate. Most of the literature in social networks has dealt with overt organizations with an easily discernable network structure. This paper examines the possibilities of using the inherent structures observed in social networks to make predictions of networks using limited and missing information. The model is based on empirical network data exhibiting the structural properties of triad closure and adjacency. Triad closure indicates that if person i has a dyad with person j and person j has a dyad with person k, then there is a higher than chance likelihood that person i and person k have a dyad. Adjacency is a corollary of triad closure stating that if person i has a dyad with person j, it is more than likely that person i has a dyad with person k. The model exploits these properties using an inference model to update adjacent dyads given information on a reference dyad. The model is tested against several networks to understand and discern its behavior. The paper illustrates that if the model is built with careful consideration towards the network being predicted, it may assist in making better decisions regarding uncertain organizational phenomenon. However, the model performs relatively poorly if there is a disproportionate amount of information either supporting or not supporting a dyad and/or if dyadic priors are well informed. The method is applied in a covert network example, and has been extended for epidemiological networks and improving performance in organizations operating under stress. The paper opens up new avenues in the development of models

description: We propose a new mechanism by which dark matter (DM) can affect the early universe. The hot interior of a macroscopic DM, or macro, can behave as a heat reservoir so that energetic photons are emitted from its surface. This results in spectral distortions (SDs) of the cosmic microwave background. The SDs depend on the density and the cooling processes of the interior, and the surface composition of the Macros. We use neutron stars as a model for nuclear-density Macros and find that the spectral distortions are mass-independent for fixed density. In our work, we find that, for Macros of this type that constitute 100$\%$ of the dark matter, the $μ$ and $y$ distortions can be above detection threshold for typical proposed next-generation experiments such as PIXIE.

description: Millimeter-wave observations of CO, HCO+, HNCO, and SiO molecular lines toward Sgr A show that the prominent gas condensations in this region differ significantly in their chemical properties, which may be a result of gradients in the physical conditions as a function of location. HNCO and SiO observations suggest that M − 0.13 − 0.08 (the +20 km s−1 cloud) appears to consist of two different components, M − 0.13 − 0.08a and M − 0.13 − 0.08b, with LSR velocities of about +25 and +5 km s−1, respectively. The clump M − 0.13 − 0.08a (the +25 km s−1 cloud) seems to be located very close to Sgr A East and the observed enhancement of HNCO and SiO may result from the interaction with Sgr A East. The molecular gas clump M − 0.02 − 0.07 (the +50 km s−1 cloud) shows the strongest 13CO emission among the identified clouds in this region, and is the most massive condensation (3 × 105 M), but may be located closer to us than other clouds, since it appears to be chemically quiescent and shade the “inter-cloud region” where the HCO+/13CO ratio is enhanced. The −30 km s−1 component shows a similar morphology to the HCO+ enhanced “inter-cloud” region. M + 0.07 − 0.08 and M + 0.11 − 0.08 show strong HCO+ 1–0 emission, and appear to consist of one cloud (the HCO+ cloud) in this observation. The HCO+/13CO abundance ratio is enhanced by a factor of 2–3 toward this HCO+ cloud and the inter-cloud region between l = 0.1° and 0° near to Sgr A East, compared to other clouds observed in this region. This relative enhancement of HCO+ is thought to result from interaction with Sgr A East.

description: Higher-order corrections to the MSSM Higgs-boson masses are desirable for accurate predictions currently testable at the LHC. By comparing the prediction with the measured value of the discovered Higgs signal, viable parameter regions can be inferred. For an improved theory accuracy, we compute all two-loop corrections involving the strong coupling for the Higgs-boson mass spectrum of the MSSM with complex parameters. Apart from the dependence on the strong coupling, these contributions depend on the weak coupling and Yukawa couplings, leading to terms of $\mathcal{O}{\left(αα_s\right)}$ and $\mathcal{O}{\left(\sqrt{α_{q_1}}\sqrt{α_{q_2}}α_s\right)}$, ($q_{1,2}=t,b,c,s,u,d$). The full dependence on the external momentum and all relevant mass scales is taken into account. The calculation is performed in the Feynman-diagrammatic approach which is flexible in the choice of the employed renormalization scheme. For the phenomenological results presented here, a renormalization scheme consistent with higher-order corrections included in the code $\texttt{FeynHiggs}$ is adopted. For the evaluation of the results, a total of $513$ two-loop two-point integrals with up to five different mass scales are computed fully numerically using the program $\texttt{SecDec}$. A comparison with existing results in the limit of real parameters and/or vanishing external momentum is carried out, and the impact on the lightest Higgs-boson mass is discussed, including the dependence on complex phases. The new results will be included in the public code $\texttt{FeynHiggs}$.

description: We propose loading trapped ions into microtraps formed by an optical lattice. For harmonic microtraps, the Coulomb coupling of the spatial motions of neighboring ions can be used to construct a broad class of effective short-range Hamiltonians acting on an internal degree of freedom of the ions. For large anharmonicities, on the other hand, the spatial motion of the ions itself represents a spin-1/2 model with frustrated dipolar XY interactions. We illustrate the latter setup with three systems: the linear chain, the zig-zag ladder, and the triangular lattice. In the frustrated zig-zag ladder with dipolar interactions we find chiral ordering beyond what was predicted previously for a next-nearest-neighbor model. In the frustrated anisotropic triangular lattice with nearest-neighbor interactions we find that the transition from the one-dimensional gapless spin-liquid phase to the two-dimensional spiraling ordered phase passes through a gapped spin-liquid phase, similar to what has been predicted for the same model with Heisenberg interactions. Further, a second gapped spin-liquid phase marks the transition to the two-dimensional Neel-ordered phase.

description: In 1995, Boehm predicted that by 2005, there would be “55 million performers” of “end user programming” in the United States. The original context and method which generated this number had two weaknesses, both of which we address. First, it relies on undocumented, judgment based factors to estimate the number of end user programmers based on the total number of end users; we address this weakness by identifying specific end user sub populations and then estimating their sizes. Second, Boehm's estimate relies on additional undocumented, judgment based factors to adjust for rising computer usage rates; we address this weakness by integrating fresh Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data and projections as well as a richer estimation method. With these improvements to Boehm’s method, we estimate that in 2012 there will be 90 million end users in American workplaces. Of these, we anticipate that over 55 million will use spreadsheets or databases (and therefore may potentially program), while over 13 million will describe themselves as programmers, compared to BLS projections of fewer than 3 million professional programmers. We have validated our improved method by generating estimates for 2001 and 2003, then verifying that our estimates are consistent with existing estimates from other sources.
