In Quantum Mechanics in Phase Space, by Zachos, Fairlie and Curtright, the bulk of the book (of 551 pages) consists of reprints of a selection of 23 papers dealing with the phase space formalism. In addition, there is a very useful overview, consisting of an introduction of 30 pages with an emphasis on the Wigner quasi-probability classical-like distribution function (27 pages), followed by a b...

After a short period of being not much more than a curiosity, the World-Wide Web quickly became an important medium for discussion, commerce, and business. Instead of holding just information that the entire world could see, web pages also became used to access email, financial records, and other personal or proprietary data that was meant to be viewed only by particular individuals or groups. ...

Scikit-HEP has grown rapidly over the last few years, not just to serve needs of High Energy Physics (HEP) community, but in many ways, Python ecosystem at large. AwkwardArray, boost-histogram/hist, and iminuit are examples libraries that used beyond original HEP focus. In this paper we will look key packages ecosystem, how collection 30+ was developed maintained. Also some software contributio...

This paper presents preliminary results of using authorship attribution methods for the detection of sockpuppeteering in Wikipedia. Sockpuppets are fake accounts created by malicious users to bypass Wikipedia’s regulations. Our dataset is composed of the comments made by the editors on the talk pages. To overcome the limitations of the short lengths of these comments, we use an voting scheme to...

We consider online algorithms for pull-based broadcast scheduling. In this setting there are n pages of information at a server and requests for pages arrive online. When the server serves (broadcasts) a page p, all outstanding requests for that page are satisfied. We study two related metrics, namely maximum response time (waiting time) and maximum delay-factor and their weighted versions. We ...

World Wide Web offer a rich mix of new challenges and opportunities to information computing researchers. The conventional search engine always returns a set of web pages in answer to a user query. Millions of web pages from organizations, institutions and personnel are made public electronically. With the web explosion and never ending raise of digital data, an added effect is the difficulty t...

There is a growing demand for the development of multi-device, adaptive user interfaces – interfaces that will run on and adapt to the characteristics of multiple display devices and networks as well as multiple users and user tasks. We describe a design and implementation environment for the development of such interfaces. This tool allows developers to specify their desired interfaces using a...
