  • Conventional Wisdom: Putting National Party Convention Ratings in Context
    Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly, 2009
    Co-Authors: Miglena Daradanova
    Abstract:

    This paper places broadcast major party Convention ratings in the broader context of the changing media environment from 1976 until 2008 in order to explore the decline in audience for the Convention. Broadcast Convention ratings are contrasted with Convention ratings for cable news networks, ratings for broadcast entertainment Programming, and ratings for "event" Programming. Relative to audiences for other kinds of Programming, Convention audiences remain large, suggesting that profit-making criteria may have distorted representations of the Convention audience and views of whether airing the Convention remains worthwhile. Over 80 percent of households watched the Conventions in 1952 and 1960. ...During the last two Conventions, ratings fell to below 33 percent. The ratings reflect declining involvement in traditional politics.1 Oh, come on. At neither Convention is any news to be found. The primaries were effectively over several months ago. The public has tuned out the election campaign for a long time now.... Ra tings for Convention coverage are abysmal. Yet Shales thinks the networks should cover them in the name of good citizenship?2 It has become one of the rituals of presidential election years to lament the declining television audience for the major party Conventions. Scholars like Thomas Patterson have documented year-on-year declines in Convention ratings and linked them to declining participation and rising cynicism among citizens, asking what this means for the future of mass democracy.3 Journalists, looking at Conventions in much the same way, complain that Conventions are little more than four-night political infomercials, devoid of news content and therefore boring to audiences and reporters alike.4 Some have suggested that they are no longer worth airing. In contrast, some scholars have argued for the importance of political Conventions as a unique opportunity for nominees to present themselves to a large audience.5 Despite the debate over these important issues, no published scholarship in media and politics or mass political behavior has examined declining Convention ratings in any detail. The Conventional wisdom that attributes declining Convention viewership to declining participation, rising cynicism, or boring Conventions looks sound enough at first glance. Yet the explanations seem reductionist when reconsidered in light of the dramatic changes in the American media system since the mid-1970s. Even as the modern primary system was emerging and voter turnout declining, cable television technology and Programming were growing exponentially. In 1985, not quite 43% of American households received on average about nineteen channels with cable. In 2004, 68% of households received on average 100 channels, a figure that does not take into account direct broadcast satellite. In this environment of expanded consumer choice, virtually no television Programming draws an audience as large as those of the three-network era. This paper places Convention ratings in the broader context of the changing media environment from 1976 until 2008 in order to present a more nuanced view of the decline in audience for the Convention. Broadcast Convention ratings are considered in the context of Convention ratings for cable news networks, ratings for broadcast entertainment Programming, and ratings for "event" Programming. These data do not allow a test of alternative explanations for audience decline, but they do offer some important correctives to the assumptions made by journalists and scholars about the Convention audience. They show that, relative to audiences for other kinds of television Programming, Convention audiences remain quite large and suggest that profit-making criteria may have distorted representations of the Convention audience and thus democratic discourse about whether the Convention is "worth" airing. Conventional Wisdom Many people ascribe the emergence of modern political Conventions to the Democrats' experience in Chicago in 1968. …

  • Object-oriented analysis and design (OOAD): High-impact Strategies - What You Need to Know Definitions, Adoptions, Impact, Benefits, Maturity, Vendors
    2011
    Co-Authors: Kevin Roebuck
    Abstract:

    Object-oriented analysis and design (OOAD) is a software engineering approach that models a system as a group of interacting objects. Each object represents some entity of interest in the system being modeled, and is characterised by its class, its state (data elements), and its behavior. Various models can be created to show the static structure, dynamic behavior, and run-time deployment of these collaborating objects. There are a number of different notations for representing these models, such as the Unified Modeling Language (UML). Object-oriented analysis (OOA) applies object-modeling techniques to analyze the functional requirements for a system. Object-oriented design (OOD) elaborates the analysis models to produce implementation specifications. OOA focuses on what the system does, OOD on how the system does it. This book is your ultimate resource for Object-oriented analysis and design (OOAD). Here you will find the most up-to-date information, analysis, background and everything you need to know. In easy to read chapters, with extensive references and links to get you to know all there is to know about Object-oriented analysis and design (OOAD) right away, covering: Object-oriented analysis and design, Data access layer, List of object-oriented Programming terms, Object-oriented Programming, Allocation site, The Art of the Metaobject Protocol, ASCEND, Booch method, Bound property, Bounded quantification, C3 linearization, Call super, Circle-ellipse problem, Class (computer Programming), Class browser, Class hierarchy, Class implementation file, Class variable, Class-based Programming, Climate Data Exchange (CDX), Cloning (Programming), Command-query separation, Common Lisp Object System, Common Object Request Broker Architecture, Comparison of JavaScript-based source code editors, Comparison of Programming languages (object-oriented Programming), Complex data structure, Component Object Model, Component-based software engineering, Conceptual model (computer science), Consultation (object-oriented Programming), Container (data structure), Containment (computer Programming), Convention over Code, Convention over configuration, Coupling (computer Programming), Covariance and contravariance (computer science), DataFlex, Delegation (Programming), Diamond problem, Differential inheritance, DIIOP, Dispatch table, Dispose pattern, Distributed Objects Everywhere, Dominance (C++), Double dispatch, Downcasting, Duck typing, Eiffel (Programming language), EiffelStudio, Encapsulation (object-oriented Programming), Filter object, Finalizer, Fragile base class, Friend class, Friend function, Function object, Has-a, Helper class, IDEF4, Identity (object-oriented Programming), IDispatch, Immutable interface, Immutable object, Information hiding, Inheritance (object-oriented Programming), Instance (computer science), Instance variable, Interchangeability (computer science), Interface (computing), Interface inheritance, Interface segregation principle, Is-a, Iterator, IUnknown, Jeroo, JOT: Journal of Object Technology, Law of Demeter, Layer (object-oriented design), Leaf class, Leonardi Framework, LePUS3, Lipog, Liskov substitution principle, List of object-oriented Programming languages, Live distributed object, LYMB, MathModelica, Member variable, Metaclass, Metaobject, Method overriding, Microsoft Interface Definition Language, Mock object, Mockito, Modelica, Monkey patch, Multicast delegate, Multiple inheritance, Nullary constructor, Object (computer science), Object composition, Object Data Management Group, Object Definition Language, Object lifetime, Object manager..and much more This book explains in-depth the real drivers and workings of Object-oriented analysis and design (OOAD).

  • PADL - Modeling HTML in Haskell
    Practical Aspects of Declarative Languages, 2000
    Co-Authors: Peter Thiemann
    Abstract:

    We define HTML as an embedded domain specific language in Haskell. To this end, we have designed and implemented a combinator library which provides the means to create and modify HTML elements. Haskell's type classes are employed to enforce well-formed HTML to a large degree. Haskell can then be used as a meta language to map structured documents to HTML, to define conditional content, to extract information from the documents, or to define entire web sites. We introduce container-passing style as a Programming Convention for the library. We also pinpoint some shortcomings of Haskell's type system that make the task of this library's implementor tedious.
