Until the middle of the last century, London's social calendar was dominated by 'the Season', a round of social events and parties during which the daughters of the upper classes made their 'debuts'. Debutantes and their families descended on the capital from all over Britain to take part in this elaborate process that in its blend of glamour, great privilege and archaic and sometimes comic ritual is emblematic of a world now lost. From the preparations and formalities of court presentation to the exhausting round of parties that followed, Debutantes and the London Season is a detailed look at a phenomenon that was central to the lives of generations of privileged young ladies.

This fourth volume of the Iconicity series is like its predecessors devoted to the study of iconicity in language and literature in all its forms. Many of the papers turn the notion of iconicity ‘inside-out’, some suggesting that ‘less-is-more’; others focus on the cognitive factors ‘inside’ the brain that are important for the iconic phenomena that are produced in the ‘outside’ world. In addition this volume includes a paper related to iconicity in music and its interaction with language. Other papers range from the theoretical issues involved in the evolution of language, to those that offer many ‘inside-out’ claims, such as claiming that nouns are derived from pronouns, and as such should more properly be called ‘pro-pronouns’. Also, this volume includes perhaps the first English-language analysis of the iconic aspects of sound symbolism in a prayer from the Koran. This is a truly interdisciplinary collection that should turn some of the notions of iconicity in language and literature ‘outside-in’ and ‘inside-out’.

Les projets informatiques sont désormais développés dans le cadre d’un système existant. Ils doivent, in fine, s’intégrer en interaction avec d’autres projets, sur les infrastructures communes de l’entreprise et sans interrompre le service : c’est la notion d’usine logicielle. Estimation des projets de l’entreprise numérique s’intéresse particulièrement à l’analyse des coûts d’intégration. Un modèle original d’estimation de ces coûts est proposé assurant l’équilibrage des quatre grandeurs fondamentales : coût, qualité, fonctionnalité et délai. Cet ouvrage bénéficie des travaux effectués par le groupe de travail Intégration & Complexité de l’association CESAMES, en relation avec la chaire X-ParisTech, ce qui a permis de valider le modèle avec les industriels participants. Il présente en détail le modèle COCOMO et dresse les grandes lignes de la méthode de comptage par points de fonctions. Une étude de cas basée sur les systèmes C4ISTAR illustre l’utilisation de ces méthodes dans un contexte de systèmes réels de grande complexité.
