IBM's adoption of operating system personalities was one of the most publicized issues in operating systems design. The basic premise of Workplace OS work was: 1) IBM would adopt and improve the CMU Mach 3.0 microkernel for use on PDAs, the desktop, and massively parallel machines, and 2) that several operating system personalities would execute on the micro-kernel platform concurrently. This a...

The design of virtual workplaces that can support virtual work processes has traditionally been either adhoc, or has been influenced by the virtual architecture or requirements engineering disciplines. The problem with these approaches is the difficulty in obtaining, and subsequently retaining and reusing, ready-made configurations of collaborative work processes. Such configurations naturally ...

The Information area has revolutionized the workplace. Douglas Kruse, a professor of human resources and the director of the program for disability research at Rutgers University, states that 7% of employed persons with disabilities work 20 hours or more a week from home. While some modern countries have established “virtual teams”, which are said to be comprised of people who are geographicall...

Anecdotal evidence suggests that trade unions succeed in ameliorating workplace health and safety, but no attempt has been made to link specific workplace injury rates with a respective union presence.

We study the relationship between the political connections of Chinese firms and workplace fatalities. The worker death rate for connected companies is five times that of unconnected firms; this result also holds when we exploit executive turnover to generate within-firm estimates. The connections-mortality relationship is attenuated in provinces where officials’ promotion is contingent on meet...

Teaching mathematics can be a very challenging job. In many situations traditional teaching methods does not work and our efforts seem to be quite unsatisfactory. By using some computer programs we can expand our teaching methods and make the subject more interesting. In this paper I show how, using Scientific Notebook, teachers are able to improve their teaching and assessment of mathematics. ...
