Research into digitally mediated networks is important as these are becoming increasingly intertwined with other aspects of our everyday lives as we invest as much effort in the relationships developed there as elsewhere. Over the past few years we have witnessed the rise of digital media usage (at least in the developed world) as exemplified by such Web 2.0 enabled networks as Facebook, YouTube and the like. It appears that Wittel's (2001) hypothesis that ‘network sociality’ will become ever more important has come to fruition. Socialization for many has become deeply embedded in technology and is characterised by an assimilation of work and play (Wittel 2001). As Judith Donath states: “information that was once local is becoming global. The dramas of high school friends, blind date traumas, and mundane job irritations, once hot gossip only to be the immediate circle of the people involved, are now published for worldwide consumption on blogs and network sites.” (Donath 2007).

Learning Management System (LMS) is an application that provides a comprehensive set of tools for educators to manage teaching and learning. Considering that the number of students is growing and education is expanding in various dimensions and modes of delivery, institutions or individual instructors are seeking for additional LMS tools and services. The aim of this paper is to present an experience of adding a new testing tool to an existing LMS. The evolution of the LMS solution at SEE University is provided, together with the initial set of LMS modules, the benefits of modular approach as well as specific details for the testing module itself.

This study houses the idea of open dominant potential to advance the clinical care and public e-medical services in Macedonia. This can be done by facilitating health professional practice and communication and reducing health gaps through the use of mobile technology for delivering medical services. This potential has to be achieved in a appropriate way taking into a consideration all the concerns related to it. Based on world best practices, this paper will cover the crucial concerns and propose strategies for implementation of mobile health in Macedonia. It will incorporate the evidence-based results of the most recent research advances in e-medicine, mhealth, and health care delivery.

Summary form only given. Nonlinearity and chaos are ubiquitous and fascinating. Chaotic systems, in particular, are exquisitely sensitive to small perturbations, but their behavior has a fixed and highly characteristic pattern. Understanding this somewhat counterintuitive combination of effects is important to one's ability to model the physical world. I will begin this talk by reviewing of some of the basic ideas of the field of nonlinear dynamics and describe how those ideas can be leveraged to analyze time-series data. Most of these nonlinear time-series analysis techniques were developed for low-dimensional systems, however, and many of them require perfect models — situations that are rare in the geosciences. For practitioners in these fields, then, it is important to understand how and when to use nonlinear time-series analysis, how to interpret the results, and how to recognize when and why these methods fail. I will demonstrate all of this in the context of a specific problem: understanding and predicting processor and memory loads in

Historically over the years, IBM has supported a wide array of university relations programs, at the corporate, business unit/product division and local (geographical) levels. These programs have been used to support a variety of objectives that include: product innovation, testing, proof-of-concepts and showcases; talent development and recruiting; sales opportunities; corporate citizenship and visibility; and others. An effective application of these university relations resources and programs occurs within the Chief Technology Offices (CTOs) of several IBM Software Group (SWG) product divisions. A notable example is WebSphere CTO, and specifically its Emerging Technology Institute (ETI), which defines the new products, new features, new technologies etc. for the IBM WebSphere product portfolio. It maintains a pair of regional university relations centers, the Centers for Advanced Studies (CAS), located in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina (US) and Toronto (Canada), which are also co-located at two of WebSphere's largest product development sites. These centers work directly with the local universities in support of product innovation and (student) talent development and recruitment, and are part of a larger network of some 26 such centers located around the world. This talk will provide an overview of the various IBM corporate university relations programs that are managed by the Global University Programs (GUP) team. These include the IBM Shared University Relations (SUR) program, the IBM Faculty Awards and Innovation Awards programs, the IBM PhD Fellowship program, the Open Collaborative Research (OCR) program and many others. It will also provide an overview of other special programs within IBM that support educational and research institutions, including the Academic Initiative, the Systems and Technology Group (STG) University Alliances, Corporate Citizen and Corporate Affairs (CCCA) and many others. An overview of the CAS program, together with the structure of IBM university relations world wide from country to country, will be provided. It will presented in a context that demonstrates how the 26 CAS programs and numerous local country university relations teams leverage these programs to maintain a strong partnership with local academia, while driving innovation within IBM products and services development. This talk will conclude with an outstanding example of how RTP CAS, IBM university relations and IBM hardware development partnered with a local university to develop a revolutionary cloud computing solution, the Virtual Computing Lab (VCL) developed at NC State University in Raleigh NC.

Summary form only given. Charge pumping (CP) is a well-known technique for electrical characterization of semiconductor-insulator interface traps. It has been proposed more than four decades ago and applies primarily to MOSFETs as it requires the switching of the device between inversion and accumulation. Until now, it has therefore been mainly used to study the Si-SiO 2 system and accompanied MOSFET scaling.

Sharing of health data should improve patient safety and improve health services efficiency. These data can also be used for research. The shared data are usually “coded” using a coding system classification or nomenclature. However, “coding” is not a neutral action and is part of the complex social interaction between doctor and patient To derive meaning from data it is essential to understand the context in which it is recorded and to infer whether data recorded for one purpose is usable in another. Most of the existing models to raise data quality (DQ) are descriptive and don't necessarily inform why lessons from one health system might be applied in anther.

Our ability to record increasingly larger and more complex sets of data is accompanied by a decline in our capacity to interpret and understand these data in the fullest sense. Multivariate analysis partially assists us in our quest by reducing the dimensionality in optimal ways, but our view is stuck in two dimensions because of the planar nature of the graphical medium, be it the printed page or the computer screen.

The roots of business intelligence date back to the early 1970s when decision support systems first emerged. Over the years, a variety of applications — executive information systems, online analytical processing, and dashboards — have been added to the family of decision support applications. In the early 1990s, “business intelligence” was coined as an umbrella term to describe these analytical applications.
