We know it’s present day, sort of, because of the costumes and occasional lapses into song (a drunk Michael leads the other men of the house in a chaotic rendition of Iggy Pop’s Lust for Life). But the strange hinterland in which the characters reside mean that it’s impossible to work out exactly what the stakes are. In the original, we know their tragedy is driven, at least in part, by their place in history, fading landowners in a Russia that is about to change forever.
In such an environment, achieving quiescence is both costly and impossible to guarantee. Additionally, the success of reconfiguration actions cannot be determined with certainty. This paper advocates for a hierarchical, adaptive, graph based approach to supporting reconfiguration.

One of the reasons scientists had to develop Mars Express so quickly arises from the fact that, this summer, Mars and the Earth will be especially close to each other. Although launch opportunities to go to Mars occur every 26 months when the Sun, Earth and Mars form a straight line this year the planets will be at their closest, which happens every 15 to 17 years. On top of that, calculations had shown that the best combination of fuel expenditure and travel time could only be achieved by launching in the period between 23 May and 21 June.
