Silicon: the promising material for phontonic integrated circuits platform

The development of optical network demands integrated arid multiple functionality modules to lowing cost and acquire highly reliability. Among the various contender materials to be photonic integrated circuits platform, silicon exhibits dominant characteristics and is the most promising platform materials. The paper compares the characteristics of some candidate materials with silicon and reviews recent progress in silicon based photonic integration technology. Tile challenges to silicon for optical integration for optical networking application arc also indicated.

基于最大不动点模型的描述逻辑系统FL��的有穷基

研究了描述逻辑的有穷基问题,分析了有穷基在描述逻辑中的重要意义及其研究现状,并研究了形式概念分析中的属性蕴含和Duguenne-Guigues基问题.利用形式概念分析中Duguenne-Guigues基存在的证明结果,在F.Baader工作基础上设置了描述逻辑的描述背景,重新定义了描述背景下的属性蕴含,证明了带循环术语的描述逻辑系统FLε存在最大不动点语义(greatest fixed-points,gfp)模型,给出了带循环术语的描述逻辑系统FLε在最大不动点模型下的有穷基的存在性定理,并证明有穷基的可靠性和完备性.描述逻辑有穷基可以帮助知识工程师构建一个更适用于推理的描述逻辑知识库.
