When and how java developers give up static type safety

Mastrangelo, Luis ; Hauswirth, Matthias (Dir.) ; Nystrom, Nathaniel (Dir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Università della Svizzera italiana, 2019 ; 2019INFO008.

The main goal of a static type system is to prevent certain kinds of errors from happening at run time. A type system is formulated as a set of constraints that gives any expression or term in a program a well-defined type. Besides detecting these kinds of errors, a static type system can be an invaluable maintenance tool, can be useful for documentation purposes, and can aid in generating ...

Web usability : enhancing effectiveness of methodologies and improving their communication features

Triacca, Luca ; Paolini, Paolo (Dir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Università della Svizzera italiana, 2005.

The quality of web sites (or more in general interactive applications) may be improved taking into account the activity of usability evaluation, in which the quality for the endusers is defined and established. One of the most serious problems related to usability field is that usability evaluation methods often were not defined to be effectively reused by the people who did not invent them. The...

The weather derivatives market : modelling and pricing temperature

Bellini, Francesca ; Barone-Adesi, Giovanni (Dir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Università della Svizzera italiana, 2005 ; 2005ECO001.

The main objective of the thesis is to find a pricing model for weather derivatives based on temperature. A general Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process with seasonal mean and volatility is proposed to model the time-dynamics of daily average temperatures. The model is fitted to almost 54 years of daily observations recorded in Chicago, Philadelphia, Portland and Tucson. The unequivocal evidence of fat...

Weak-coupling instabilities of two-dimensional lattice electrons

Binz, Benedikt ; Baeriswyl, Dionys (Dir.) ; Douçot, Benoit (Codir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Université de Fribourg : 2002 ; 1374.

Les systèmes électroniques bidimensionnels sont d’une grande actualité tout particulièrement depuis la découverte de la supraconductivité à haute température. Ici, on se restreint à l’étude d’un modèle de Hubbard étendu, à la limite d’un couplage faible. En général, le gaz électronique subit une instabilité supraconductrice même sans phonons. Cependant, dans le cas...
