The GeomLib project addresses the important objective of developing an easy to use, reliable , and open library of robust and eecient geometric algorithms. This paper is a preliminary report on the project. We present here the criteria that have inspired the preliminary design of GeomLib, and discuss the guidelines that we have followed in the initial implementation. We exemplify the innovative...

Abstract: It is shown that quantization and superintegrability are not concepts that are inherent to classical Physics alone. Indeed, one may quantize and also detect superintegrability of biological models by means of Noether symmetries. We exemplify the method by using a mathematical model that was proposed by Basener and Ross (2005), and that describes the dynamics of growth and sudden decre...

This paper clarifies the basic concepts and theoretical perspectives by and from which quantitative “weighting” of lexical elements are defined, and then draws, quantitative portraits of a few lexical elements in order to exemplify the relevance of the concepts and perspectives examined.

Taking as a point of departure recent theoretical advances in Interaction Design and HumanComputer Interaction (Löwgren 2009), we discuss a body of knowledge gathered in Ubiquitous Music practices (Keller et al. 2011a) during the last six years. New concepts and methods have been proposed to describe aspects of the ideation and materialisation of experiences with technology. Pliability (Löwgren...

In this article, we introduce and exemplify existing legislation that regulates the end-of-life processing of used products and discuss potential implications of such legislation on closed-loop supply chains (CLSCs). Using a generic CLSC model, we provide our perspective on how such legislation in general influences different stakeholders in closed-loop supply chains.

Smart specialization (SS) is a policy concept that has gained significant momentum in Europe despite a frail theoretical background and implementation difficulties. These challenges become critical in the case of less-developed economies that often lack regional autonomy, a strong STI base, and local capabilities to identify and sustain such SS strategies. Combining elements from evolutionary e...

Security incidents targeting information systems have become more complex and sophisticated, and intruders might evade responsibility due to the lack of evidence to convict them. In this paper, we develop a system for Digital Forensic in Networking, called DigForNet, which is useful to analyze security incidents and explain the steps taken by the attackers. DigForNet combines intrusion response...

This paper discusses issues that arise when considering what is meant by the expression ‘research quality’ in universities. Popular measures of research quality are often based on determining the quality of a published journal paper, or of using these to publish journal league tables based on the assumption that the journal quality represents the quality of the papers published by the journal. ...
