There is nothing in all of American sport quite like baseball's spring training. This annual six-week ritual, whose origins date back nearly a century and a half, fires the hearts and imaginations of fans who flock by the hundreds of thousands to places like Dodgertown to glimpse superstars and living legends in a relaxed moment and watch the |

drama of journeyman veterans and starry-eyed kids in search of that last spot on the bench. In Under the March Sun, Charles Fountain recounts for the first time the full and fascinating history of spring training and its growth from a shoestring-budget ro |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the International Workshop on Graph Transformation with Industrial Relevance, AGTIVE'99, held in Kerkrade, The Netherlands, in June 1999. The 28 revised full papers presented went through an iterated process of reviewing and revision. Also included are three invited papers, 10 tool demonstrations, a summary of a panel discussion, and lists of graph transformation systems and books on graph transformations. The papers are organized in sections on modularization concepts, |

|
distributed systems modeling, software architecture: evolution and reengineering, visual graph transformation languages, visual language modeling and tool development, knowledge modeling, image recognition and constraint solving, process modeling and view integration, and visualization and animation tools. |
