To speculate or not to speculate

Bulletin of Alloy Phase Diagrams, 1981
It is suggested that critical assessments of alloy phase diagram data should include speculative interpretation of phase equilibria. Examples of speculative data for the Cr−Ni−W and Al−Fe−Ni systems are given to illustrate this point of view.

Speculative design: crafting the speculation

Digital Creativity, 2013
The article positions the author's work as speculative design but—like the term design fictions—is open to several interpretations. How is the fictional character of such work conceptualised and produced? What kinds of speculation are involved? The article considers the value of one particular approach and argues that speculative design serves two ...

Speculation Spillovers

Management Science, 2015
This paper demonstrates that speculative activities can be contagious and spill over across markets. Specifically, we test the hypothesis that during China's warrants bubble period, speculative activities in the warrants market grabbed investors' attention and caused them to trade more speculatively in the underlying stocks.

Speculation on Speculation

1997
Whereas in science theory is lauded, speculation is ridiculed. A biologist accused in print of “speculation” is branded for the tenure of her career. This biologist finds herself like a ballet dancer imitating a pigeon-toed hunchback: All of the intellectual training to keep my toes turned out emotionally backfires with a request to speculate freely.

A Speculative Strategy

1999
In this contribution we propose a strategy which focuses on the game as well as on the opponent. Preference is given to the thoughts of the opponent, so that the strategy might be speculative. We describe a generalization of OM search, called (D, d)-OM search, where D stands for the depth of search by the player and d for the opponent's depth of search.

Speculative reprogramming

Proceedings of the 22nd ACM SIGSOFT International Symposium on Foundations of Software Engineering, 2014
Although software development involves making numerous decisions amongst alternatives, the design and implementation choices made typically become invisible; what a developer sees in the project's artifacts are the end result of all of the decisions.

A Cappadocian Speculation

Nature, 1971
IN 1925, F. Hrozny discovered the source of the “Cappadocian” tablets near the village of Kultepe (38° 44′ N, 35° 34′ E). These cuneiform tablets provide a foundation for study of the pre-Hittite (circa 1940 BC to 1740 BC) network of Assyrian merchant colonies in Bronze Age Anatolia1. Bilgic2 has published the names of 119 towns active in this exchange,

Speculative Securities [PDF]

open access: possibleSSRN Electronic Journal, 1997
The paper deals with the problem of security design in an asset market with asymmetrically informed traders when some agents have private information and can trade to exploit their superior information. Under certain conditions it is shown that a sunspot-dependent speculative security can lead to a better allocation of risk than a nonspeculative ...

SPECC and SPECULATION

Colorectal Disease, 2016
We read with interest the article on SPECC and SPECULATION by Moran and Dattani [1] and would like to congratulate them and the Pelican faculty on their foresight in organising such an important training programme. There are a few points that need focussing on to solidify their effort and we hope they will meet with their philosophy.

Speculative Computing

ICGA Journal, 1987
Conventional parallelizations of the alpha-beta (α-β) algorithm have met with limited success. With current algorithms, beyond 10 processors additional ones are of little benefit. This paper introduces speculative computing as a means of extending the effective number of processors that can be used.
