Source: newagecreators.blogspot.com, Posted on: Oct 27, 2011 10:10 PM by vamsiachyuth The data breach disclosed in March by security firm RSA received worldwide attention because it highlighted the challenges that organizations face in detecting and blocking intrusions from targeted cyber attacks. The subtext of the story was that if this could happen to one of the largest and most integral security firms, what hope was there for organizations that aren’t focused on security? Security experts have said that RSA wasn’t the only corporation victimized in the attack, and that dozens of other multinational companies were infiltrated using many of the same tools and Internet infrastructure. But so far, no one has been willing to talk publicly about which other companies may have been hit. Today’s post features a never-before-published list of those victim organizations. The information suggests that more than 760 other organizations had networks that were compromised with some of the same resources used to hit RSA. Almost 20 percent of the current Fortune 100 companies are on this list. Since the RSA incident was disclosed, lawmakers in the U.S. Congress have taken a renewed interest in so-called “advanced persistent threat” or APT attacks. Some of the industry’s top security experts have been summoned to Capitol Hill to brief lawmakers and staff about the extent of the damage. The information below was shared with congressional staff. Below is a list of companies whose networks were shown to have been phoning home to some of the same control infrastructure that was used in the attack on RSA. The first victims appear to have begun communicating with the attacker’s control networks as early as November 2010. A few caveats are in order here. First, many of the network owners listed are Internet service providers, and are likely included because some of their subscribers were hit. Second, it is not clear how many systems in each of these companies or networks were compromised, for how long those intrusions persisted, or whether the attackers successfully stole sensitive information from all of the victims. Finally, some of these organizations (there are several antivirus firms mentioned below) may be represented because they intentionally compromised internal systems in an effort to reverse engineer malware used in these attacks. Among the more interesting names on the list are Abbott Labs, the Alabama Supercomputer Network, Charles Schwabb & Co., Cisco Systems, eBay, the European Space Agency, Facebook, Freddie Mac, Google, the General Services Administration, the Inter-American Development Bank, IBM, Intel Corp., the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Motorola Inc., Northrop Grumman, Novell, Perot Systems, PriceWaterhouseCoopers LLP, Research in Motion (RIM) Ltd., Seagate Technology, Thomson Financial, Unisys Corp., USAA, Verisign, VMWare, Wachovia Corp., and Wells Fargo & Co. At the end of the victim list is a pie chart that shows the geographic distribution of the command and control networks used to coordinate the attacks. The chart indicates that the overwhelming majority of the C&Cs are located in or around Beijing, China. 302-DIRECT-MEDIA-ASN 8e6 Technologies, Inc.

L'impiego della molibdenite permetterà forse in futuro di realizzare celle solari flessibili più efficienti, dispositivi elettronici e microprocessori capaci di elevate prestazioni a fronte di un ridotto consumo energetico. La molibdenite è un minerale le cui applicazioni sono state ben lontane dall'elettronica, almeno fino ad oggi, infatti i ricercatori dell'École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) hanno pubblicato uno studio sulla rivista Nature Nanotechnology in cui vengono riportate le straordinarie proprietà del minerale quando viene impiegato in strati bidimensionali dello spessore di un atomo. I ricercatori del Laboratory of Nanoscale Electronics and Structures (LANES) hanno dimostrato che gli strati bidimensionali di molibdenite hanno proprietà elettriche e ottiche decisamente migliori rispetto a quelle offerte dal minerale nelle sue forme tridimensionali. Il silicio viene impiegato in forma tridimensionale mentre la molibdenite in strati bidimensionali, meno voluminosi. In stanby i transistors in molibdenite consumano 100 mila volte meno energia rispetto a quelli in silicio. Dispositivi più piccoli e più efficienti dal punto di vista energetico è questa l'idea dei ricercatori svizzeri che hanno usato la molibdenite per mettere a punto transistors con un approccio simile a quello impiegato nei primi stadi della ricerca sul grafene. Gli scienziati hanno ottenuto sottilissimi fogli che hanno poi adagiato su un substrato e coperto con uno strato isolante. Con questa base hanno realizzato transistors che mostrano una mobilità elettrica comparabile a quella dei transistors realizzati con il grafene. La mobilità elettrica è la capacità delle particelle cariche di muoversi in un solvente in risposta ad un campo elettrico. Dopo l'introduzione dei dispositivi a grafene nel 2004 da parte di Andre Geim e Kostya Novoselov che hanno vinto per questo il Premio Nobel per la fisica nel 2010, la ricerca su nuovi materiali capaci di elevate prestazioni in elettronica è decisamente aumentata. Tra i numerosi test effettuati impiegando materiali in forma bidimensionale è risultata promettente la molibdenite. Prima di poter pensare alle applicazioni del nuovo materiale serviranno certamente ulteriori studi per capire nel dettaglio le reali potenzialità di questo minerale, ad esempio gli scienziati devono ancora dimostrare la capacità di amplificare i segnali elettrici, ma i ricercatori ripongono molta fiducia nella molibdenite per rivoluzionare i dispositivi elettronici nel prossimo futuro. Se il grafene, individuato come materiale capace di sostituire il silicio all'interno dei microprocessori, non risulta adatto a causa delle grandi difficoltà che si incontrano per farlo diventare un semiconduttore e quindi è più probabile che venga impiegato in altri tipi di circuiti come ad esempio quelli usati nel campo delle telecomunicazioni, la molibdenite potrà forse rivelarsi il materiale adatto per ottenere microprocessori ad elevate prestazioni. Gli scienziati iniziano a progettare altri possibili usi per la molibdenite come celle solari flessibili e dispositivi elettronici flessibili che ad oggi usano polimeri meno stabili di quanto promette di essere la molibdenite. La molibdenite è un semiconduttore dotato di band gap (gap di 1.8 elettron-volt), si tratta di una caratteristica importante per un materiale impiegato nei transistors digitali. Il grafene ad esempio non ha una band gap pertanto i ricercatori devono realizzare e usare nastri di questo materiale, ma il procedimento risulta complesso e può portare all'alterazione di altre importanti proprietà del materiale. La band gap è un intervallo di energia interdetto agli elettroni. Nei semiconduttori gli elettroni si trovano in bande di energia, la band gap è un range di energia in cui non sono presenti elettroni e si riferisce alla differenza di energia compresa tra il limite superiore della banda di valenza e il limite inferiore della banda di con...

Il gruppo PLR in seno al Legislativo ha infatti proposto un emendamento proponente l’abbassamento al 59% del moltiplicatore per l’anno 2011. L’emendamento PLR è stato presentato al Consiglio Comunale immediatamente prima della seduta stessa, quando il messaggio in questione (2011-26 per la fissazione del moltiplicatore per l’anno 2011) era già stato oggetto di un rapporto da parte della designata Commissione della Gestione, che approvava la proposta del Municipio (moltiplicatore 62.5%). La Commissione stessa, vista la delicatezza del tema (in ballo vi è l’ammontare di raccolta per mezzo imposta del nostro Comune…), ha preferito riunirsi brevemente e lo stesso a fatto l’Esecutivo comunale. Perciò, dopo pochi minuti di seduta, la Presidente ha decretato un’interruzione volta proprio a permttere ai due consessi di riunirsi. Per il moltiplicatore, infine, fumata nera da parte del Municipio che ritira il messaggio per ulteriori approfondimenti in seguito alle motivazioni addotte dal gruppo PLR in CC. La seduta del Legislativo è poi continuata senza grandi intoppi, concludendosi con le risposte del Municipio ad alcune interessanti interpellanze di cui una presentata dal CC USI Ivan Fior (vedi qui: Interpellanza Fior) inerente allo sviluppo dello scalo luganese “Lugano Airport” ed alle sue presunte mire di estensione verso il territorio del Comune di Bioggio. Un’altra, del CC PPD Marco Poretti, riguardava invece l’annoso problema dei rifiuti, che pare il Municipio voglia risolvere entro la fine dell’attuale Legislatura.

Source: xakepy.cc, Posted on: Oct 24, 2011 01:54 PM by INC. Утечка данных, публично признанная в марте компанией RSA, привлекла к себе столь широкое внимание потому, что она ярко проиллюстрировала масштаб проблем, с которыми сталкиваются организации, имеющие дело с обнаружением и блокированием направленных на них кибер-атак. Подтекст этой истории заключается в следующем: если это случилось с одной из крупнейших фирм, специализирующих на безопасности, то на что могут рассчитывать обычные компании? Эксперты по безопасности говорят, что RSA была не единственной корпорацией, пострадавшей от этой атаки, и что несколько дюжин других международных компаний подверглись инфильтрации с использованием, во многом, того же самого инструментария и той же сетевой инфраструктуры. Но пока что никто не выразил желания публично говорить о том, какие еще компании могли быть затронуты. В сегодняшнем посте содержится никогда ранее не публиковавшийся список организаций, ставших жертвами атаки. Эта информация позволяет предположить, что сети более 760 других организаций были скомпрометированы с использованием те же ресурсов, которые применялись в атаке на RSA. В этот список попали 20 процентов компаний из списка «Fortune 100». Поскольку инцидент с RSA был публично раскрыт, законодатели Конгресса США вновь проявили интерес к так называемым APTатакам (APT - Advanced Persistent Threat - «постоянная угроза повышенной сложности»). Несколько крупнейших в отрасли экспертов были вызваны на Капитолийский холм для дачи разъяснений по этому поводу. Информация, приведенная ниже, была передана сотрудникам Конгресса. Ниже приведен список компаний, чьи сети вышли на связь с той же самой командной инфраструктурой, которая использовалась в атаке на RSA. Самые первые жертвы начали связываться к командными сетями атакующей стороны, по видимому, еще в ноябре 2010 года. Тут необходимо сделать несколько оговорок. Во-первых, многие из перечисленных здесь сетей являются Internet-провайдерами и попали в список потому, что атакован был кто-то из их клиентов. Во-вторых, из списка не явствует, сколько конкретно систем было скомпрометировано в каждой из этих компаний или сетей, как долго продолжается вторжение, и удалось ли атакующей стороне украсть важную информацию в каждом конкретном случае. Наконец, некоторые из перечисленных организаций (в списке есть несколько антивирусных фирм) могут быть представлены в списке потому, что намеренно подвергли компрометации свои внутренние тестовые системы с целью произвести обратный инжиниринг используемого в атаке вредоносного ПО. Среди наиболее интересных названий в списке можно отметить Abbott Labs, Alabama Supercomputer Network, Charles Schwabb & Co., Cisco Systems, eBay, Европейское космическое агентство, Facebook, Freddie Mac, Google, General Services Administration, InterAmerican Development Bank, IBM, Intel Corp., the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Массачусетский Технологический, Motorola Inc., Northrop Grumman, Novell, Perot Systems, PriceWaterhouseCoopers LLP, Research in Motion (RIM) Ltd., Seagate Technology, Thomson Financial, Unisys Corp., USAA, Verisign, VMWare, Wachovia Corp., и Wells Fargo & Co. В конце списка жертв приведена диаграмма, показывающая географическое распределение командных сетей, использованных в этих атаках. Диаграмма показывает, что подавляющее большинство командных серверов расположено в районе Пекина (Китай). Код: 302-DIRECT-MEDIA-ASN 8e6 Technologies, Inc.

Security experts have said that RSA wasn’t the only corporation victimized in the attack, and that dozens of other multinational companies were infiltrated using many of the same tools and Internet infrastructure. But so far, no one has been willing to talk publicly about which other companies may have been hit. Today’s post features a never-before-published list of those victim organizations. The information suggests that more than 760 other organizations had networks that were compromised with some of the same resources used to hit RSA. Almost 20 percent of the current Fortune 100 companies are on this list. Since the RSA incident was disclosed, lawmakers in the U.S. Congress have taken a renewed interest in so-called “advanced persistent threat” or APT attacks. Some of the industry’s top security experts have been summoned to Capitol Hill to brief lawmakers and staff about the extent of the damage. The information below was shared with congressional staff. Below is a list of companies whose networks were shown to have been phoning home to some of the same control infrastructure that was used in the attack on RSA. The first victims appear to have begun communicating with the attacker’s control networks as early as November 2010. A few caveats are in order here. First, many of the network owners listed are Internet service providers, and are likely included because some of their subscribers were hit. Second, it is not clear how many systems in each of these companies or networks were compromised, for how long those intrusions persisted, or whether the attackers successfully stole sensitive information from all of the victims. Finally, some of these organizations (there are several antivirus firms mentioned below) may be represented because they intentionally compromised internal systems in an effort to reverse engineer malware used in these attacks. Among the more interesting names on the list are Abbott Labs, the Alabama Supercomputer Network, Charles Schwabb & Co., Cisco Systems, eBay, the European Space Agency, Facebook, Freddie Mac, Google, the General Services Administration, the Inter-American Development Bank, IBM, Intel Corp., the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Motorola Inc., Northrop Grumman, Novell, Perot Systems, PriceWaterhouseCoopers LLP, Research in Motion (RIM) Ltd., Seagate Technology, Thomson Financial, Unisys Corp., USAA, Verisign, VMWare, Wachovia Corp., and Wells Fargo & Co. At the end of the victim list is a pie chart that shows the geographic distribution of the command and control networks used to coordinate the attacks. The chart indicates that the overwhelming majority of the C&Cs are located in or around Beijing, China. 302-DIRECT-MEDIA-ASN 8e6 Technologies, Inc.

(nothing) IS IMPOSSIBLE difficulty of this task, for the last few decades the majority of AI researchers have focused on what has been called “narrow AI” – the production of AI systems displaying intelligence regarding specific, highly constrained tasks. In recent years, however, more and more researchers have recognized the necessity – and feasibility – of returning to the original goals of the field. Increasingly, there is a call for a transition back to confronting the more difficult issues of “human level intelligence” and more broadly artificial general intelligence (AGI). The AGI conferences are the only major conference series devoted wholly and specifically to the creation of AI systems possessing general intelligence at the human level and ultimately beyond. Continuing the mission of the first three AGI conferences (most recently AGI- 10, held at the University of Lugano, Switzerland), in August 2011, AGI-11 was held at the Google headquarters in Mountain View, California. AGI-11 gathered an international group of leading academic and industry researchers involved in scientific and engineering work aimed directly toward the goal of artificial general intelligence. Keynote speeches were delivered by Ernst Dickmanns, the pioneer of selfdriving Shi, and Aaron Sloman. The special session on neuroscience and AGI included a keynote speech delivered by Ed Boyden, a co-founder of optogenetics. Of the 103 submissions, 28 were accepted as full papers for this volume (27%), and 26 as short papers. Enjoy!

Brand risk is a key threat to a company's license to do business, as Nike, Toyota, BP and Domino's Pizza have learned to their cost in recent years. How well they have been able to protect and detoxify their brands has in large part depended on the way senior managers have fought back. The importance of the role of the chief executive in repairing brand damage is growing. Robert Phillips, head of Europe, the Middle East and Africa for Edelman, the public-relations firm, says: "Senior executives need to understand there has been a fundamental shift from accountability to shareholders towards accountability to stakeholders. CEOs have to understand their stakeholder universe." If a company's brand is its license to do business, it is its stakeholders who grant it that license to trade. These days a company's stakeholders are more than just its shareholders, investors and customers. The power of the internet and social media channels such as Facebook and Twitter mean employees, non-governmental organizations, trade unions and regulators have far more power to damage a brand if they want to. Determinedly Contrite When things go wrong it is to these stakeholders that communications have to be targeted, starting with an unreserved apology. That apology is crucial, and must balance contrition with a determination to get to the root of the problem and make it right. It must also be delivered in a tone that will be appreciated by those affected by what has gone wrong. Enlarge Image Close Reuters Ex-BP chief Tony Hayward. BP's handling of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is often cited as a public-relations disaster from start to finish. Downplaying the seriousness of the spill as events spiralled meant BP was always chasing the story as ever worse details emerged. To cap it all, when former BP CEO Tony Hayward told journalists "I would like my life back," his apparent lack of empathy left the U.S. public in disbelief. Tony Langham, chief executive of Lansons Communications, a London-based public-relations firm says: "BP simply didn't sound sorry enough early enough. And then with BP already being called 'British Petroleum,' fronting their campaign in Louisiana with a Brit certainly didn't help." Hayward's apparent lack of empathy with the victims of the BP disaster demonstrates the importance of getting the tone of crisis communications right, says Sally Costerton, chairman and CEO of Europe Hill & Knowlton. Ms. Costerton says: "Hypocrisy is a danger when delivering sensitive messages, as was shown when the heads of U.S. motor companies flew to Washington by private jet at the height of the financial crisis to ask for public cash to prop up their companies." -9us.cision.com But when they get it right, senior management can make a positive impact in brand damage limitation. Domino's Pizza president Patrick Doyle didn't wait for the media to call him when a prank video was posted on YouTube showing staff seemingly distastefully tampering with food apparently destined for public consumption. Instead he posted a video of his own, apologizing for what had happened and pledging to get to the bottom of the matter, before the story hit national media. Enlarge Image Close None Domino's Pizza boss Patrick Doyle on YouTube Mr. Doyle's actions, believed to be a YouTube first for a senior blue-chip executive, catapulted the story into mainstream news. That probably led to more people hearing about the food tampering video, but Tim McIntyre, vice president, communications at Domino's Pizza, says the strategy moved the enduring story from the food tampering to the senior executive's response.

The schedule for the SHOW (Share/Open Access/Worldwide) is now ready and you can read it below. Will you join our effort to raise awareness about open access among Croatian students? Wednesday, October 26 12:00 - 12:30 Opening Speech @ Atrium 12:30 - 13:30 Tomislav Medak : Creative Commons Licensing @ Atrium Staircase Tomislav Medak is a philosopher with interests in constellations, contemporary political philosophy, media theory and aesthetics. He is co-ordinating theory program and publishing activities of the Multimedia Institute/MAMA (Zagreb, Croatia). He’s a free software and free culture advocate. He’s project lead of Croatian Creative Commons team and board member of international commons organization iCommons. He’s member of urban activist initiative Right to the City. He is a member of the Zagreb based theatre company BADco. 14:00 - 16:00 Round Table: Intellectual Property in a Digital Age @ Atrium Staircase Both scientific and artistic achievements do not occur in a vacuum, they built on their contexts, "sampling" the intellectual environment of the time to create something new. Our digital culture has fractured information and the shards float freely in and out of attribution. Shouldn't our creative practices reflect this reality? Manifestos abound on the Web declare that ideas "are not owned by an individual or corporation" and should therefore "be freely available as seeds for more ideas, and not bound and haggled over by lawyers and politicians." In many ways, intellectual property laws are fighting a losing battle with new modes of creation and expression eroding the copyright model. Speakers: Tomislav Medak, Nebojša Zelic, Neven Petrovic, Ivana Kunda, Debating Club , Moderator: Andrej Kljun 16:30 - 17:30 Aleksandar Blagojevic: We are Open Source Beings - Let's Live That Way @ Atrium Staircase “You are an open source being. Your parents did not need a prestigious university degree in order to learn and understand how to have you. They also did not purchase the special “top USA company” licence to make you. They were in love - that was more than enough to bring you to life.” Aleksandar Blagojevic is the leader and the founder of the Pirate Party of Serbia. 18:00-19:30 Right to Research Coalition Webcast: Open Access and the Impact of Open on Research @ Hall no. 6 Webcast will feature John Wilbanks, a Senior Fellow at the Kauffman Foundation and the former Vice President for Science at Creative Commons, who will discuss Open Access and how open has the power to transform research. This webcast will also feature Goldis Chami who will describe the student role as a catalyst for creating change on campus, using her personal experience at the University of British Columbia. 20:00 - 21:30 Movie: Rip Remix! Manifesto @ Hall no. 6 Web activist Brett Gaylor and musician Greg Gillis, better known as Girl Talk, serve as your digital tour guides on a probing investigation into how culture builds upon culture in the information age. Girl Talk repositions popular music to create a wild and edgy dialogue between artists from all genres and eras. But are his practices legal? Do his methods of frenetic appropriation embrace collaboration in its purest sense? Or are they infractions of creative integrity and violations of copyright?

These complex computer systems are regularly required to accomplish more, faster and on a broader scale, to adapt dynamically to changing workloads, scenarios and objectives, and to achieve guaranteed levels of performance and dependability. Satisfying such demanding requirements in the presence of the variability, heterogeneity and non-linear behaviour that characterise complex computer systems poses numerous challenges to both their developers and their users. The aim of the conference is to bring together researchers, practitioners and leading experts from academia and industry, to advance the state of the art in the specification, development, validation and verification, and management of complex computer systems. Scope and topics: ================ Authors are invited to submit papers describing original, unpublished research results, case studies and tools. Additionally, submissions of poster papers are sought for two separate poster sessions: an "ongoing research" poster session, and a "PhD research" poster session. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following aspects of complex computer systems: - Requirement specification and analysis - Verification and validation - Model-driven development - Reverse engineering and refactoring - Achitecture software - Big Data Management - Sensor Networks and Ubiquitous Computing - Design by contract - Agile methods - Safety-critical & fault-tolerant architectures - Adaptive, self-managing and multi-agent systems - Real-time, hybrid and embedded systems - Systems of systems - Tools and tool integration - Industrial case studies Different kinds of contributions are sought, including novel research, lessons learned, experience reports, and discussions of practical problems faced by industry and user domains. The ultimate goal is to build a rich and comprehensive conference program that can fit the interests and needs of different classes of attendees: professionals, researchers, managers, and students. A program goal is to organize several sessions that include both academic and industrial papers on a given topic, and culminate with panels to discuss relationships between industrial and academic research. Full papers are divided into two categories: Technical Papers and Experience Reports. The papers submitted to both categories will be reviewed by program committee members, and papers accepted in either category will be published in the conference proceedings. Technical papers should describe original research, and experience reports should present practical projects carried out in industry, and reflect on the lessons learnt from them. Poster paper submissions should specify in their abstract whether they describe ongoing or PhD research. Both types of poster papers will be reviewed by program committee members, and accepted posters will be published in the conference proceedings Submission of Papers: ==================== Submitted manuscripts should be in English and formatted in the style of the IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Format. Papers should not exceed 10 pages for full papers and 2 pages for poster papers, including figures, - 13 us.cision.com references, and appendices. All submissions should be in PDF format. Submissions not adhering to the specified format and length may be rejected immediately, without review. ...

Source: intelligentheritage.wordpress.com, Posted on: Oct 13, 2011 01:34 AM by Sarah Kenderdine Peter SamisWith great pleasure we welcome of the greatest museum educators and technologists of our times! Creating Dramas of Context, Communities of Interest: Using New Media for Interpretation at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art Abstract: Art museums are magnetic destinations for tourists, locals, art lovers and laymen. Yet often once people are inside the museum, they are bewildered by what they see, and feel unprepared for their experience. How can new technologies help bridge the gap between the artist’s world and their own, making the values of a distant era, remote location, or unique sensibility co-present with the viewer’s gaze? Selected strategies developed by SFMOMA’s Interactive Educational Technologies team will be presented. Bio: Peter Samis is Associate Curator of Interpretative Media at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA). In the early 1990s, he served as art historian/content expert for the first CD-ROM on modern art, and then spearheaded development of multimedia programs for SFMOMA’s new building. Points of Departure, the Museum’s 2001 exhibition that experimented with the integration of new technologies directly alongside the art in the SFMOMA galleries, introduced mobile multimedia devices into the galleries for the first time; it was awarded AAM’s Gold Muse Award for best use of new technologies in an art museum setting. In 2006, SFMOMA won three more Muse Awards–one of them for the Museum’s podcast series, “SFMOMA Artcasts,” which also won “Best of the Web” in Museums & the Web’s Innovative and Experimental category. Since that time, SFMOMA’s IET team has partnered with NOUSguide and Earprint to develop and deploy Making Sense of Modern Art Mobile, a multimedia guide to the permanent collection offered free to museum visitors on the iPod Touch. Samis holds a BA in Religion from Columbia College in New York, and an MA in the History of Art from the University of California, Berkeley. He has served as Adjunct Professor in the graduate program for Technology-Enhanced Communication for Cultural Heritage (TEC-CH) at - 14 us.cision.com Switzerland’s University of Lugano, as well as on the steering committee for the open source/collaborative projects Pachyderm, ArtBabble and Steve—the art museum social tagging initiative. Together with his team, he continues to produce innovative content for SFMOMA’s galleries, Koret Visitor Education Center, website, podcasts, YouTube and the app space.

Software is pervasive, it works, it is invisible, it just seems to run things well and stay out of the way. This is not by accident. Over time, software engineers have developed techniques for creating functioning software that is efficient and dependable. Software is so smoothly woven into our machines and services that despite its pervasiveness, most people do not even realize its presence in the devices and services they use. Software engineering is about understanding problems and implementing solutions that will work now and forever, economically, reliably, and efficiently. Software engineers have developed an approach and a way of thinking to tackle problems and look for near-perfect solutions. Unfortunately, this attitude does not make them popular with managers, who would prefer a less perfect solution that is delivered on time and at less cost. The approach does not make them popular with other computer scientists (eg computational scientists) who just want to get the software running and get the results out, never mind … Video Rating: 5 / 5 Comment Count: 0 | Unique Commenters: 0 | Engagement: 0 | Likes and Votes: 0 | Inbound Links: 0 | Sentiment: Neutral Connecting the dots Source: cristinariesen.com, Posted on: Oct 10, 2011 04:09 AM by Cristina Riesen I have started to work as radio editor in 1996 at Pro Fm, the first private Romanian radio station.

It is the only Italian-speaking university in Switzerland and comprises four Faculties: Architecture on the Mendrisio campus and Communication Sciences, Economics and Informatics, on the Lugano campus. All the faculties follow the European study plan which awards a Bachelor degree after the first three years of study and a Master degree after the following two years. Its geographical, political and cultural background has enabled USI to grow into a multilingual academic institution with great international openness. More than half of the students and professors come from abroad and the majority of the Master programmes offered are taught in English, thus creating a cosmopolitan and multicultural environment. Its small size, close relationships between students and professors, the integration of different disciplines, the generous space and the topquality technical infrastructure allows USI to offer ideal conditions for study and research.

Cape Town school teachers who took part in the project were acknowledged for their achievements made during the whole process. For the occasion, Prof. Lorenzo Cantoni from the Università della Svizzera italiana (University of Lugano, Switzerland) was visiting the country and shared his depth on the meanings, importance and benefits of eLearning for individuals, their communities, educational institutions and teachers. In addition, Madame Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, eLearning researcher and former deputy president of the Republic of South Africa attended the event and shared with the audience her experience - 16 us.cision.com conducting empirical research in various places including Kwazulu Natal and Eastern Cape.

Source: www.ticinolive.ch, Posted on: Oct 09, 2011 04:58 AM Home > Democrazia attiva > Lugano dovrà pagare 5 milioni in più all’anno per i sussidi di cassa malati? Lugano dovrà pagare 5 milioni in più all’anno per i sussidi di cassa malati? In data 3 ottobre il Consiglio di Stato ha indirizzato alle Associazioni dei Comuni ed ai sindaci dei Comuni urbani una richiesta di incontro sul tema Preventivo cantonale 2012. Incontro previsto per l’11 ottobre, ovvero la settimana successiva (!). Nell’ambito del Preventivo cantonale 2012 è infatti intenzione del CdS accollare maggiori oneri ai Comuni. Questo avverrebbe in alcuni campi, tra i quali quello del finanziamento dei sussidi per il pagamento dei premi di cassa malati. Nelle intenzioni governative, a quanto pare la legge relativa al calcolo del contributo verrebbe modificata a danno dei Comuni, ponendo ancor più l’accento sul gettito. Per quel che riguarda Lugano si ipotizza un costo supplementare, a seguito della proposta governativa, di 5 milioni di franchi annui in più: un onere che non può certamente essere considerato irrilevante. Va da sé che, come di consueto, anche questa volta i costi di centralità affrontati dal polo urbano, diversamente da quel che accade in altri Cantoni, non vengono tenuti nella minima considerazione. Chiedo pertanto al lodevole Consiglio di Stato: 1. Come si giustifica la proposta di accollare ai Comuni ulteriori ingenti costi relativi ai sussidi di Cassa malati? Per Lugano si tratterebbe di 5 milioni annui in più – a fronte del non eclatante attivismo del CdS nell’intervenire a livello federale al fine di ottenere, per il Ticino, i doverosi sconti per i premi 2012 (sconti che come noto non si sono concretizzati)? E’ infatti ovvio che a premi più bassi avrebbe fatto riscontro anche una minore spesa dell’ente pubblico per i sussidi. 2. Per quanto ancora intende il CdS non affrontare, diversamente da quel che accade in altri Cantoni (ad esempio Zurigo) la questione dei costi di centralità supportati dai Comuni polo, che irrorano (pagandoli) servizi anche a beneficio del territorio circostanze? 3. I tempi di “consultazione” (richiesta di incontro il 3 ottobre con convocazione per la settimana successiva) sono chiaramente inadeguati, non consentendo ai Comuni di prepararsi in maniera appropriata all’incontro con il Governo. E’ intenzione del CdS continuare a gestire i rapporti con i Comuni con le insoddisfacenti modalità attuali?

La conferenza, – organizzata dal NOMES, il Nuovo movimento europeo svizzero – avrà inizio alle 18h30 e si terrà nella sala conferenze “auditorium” dell’Università. L’ambasciatore Reiterer, che lascerà la sua funzione a fine anno, parlerà dell’esperienza quale ambasciatore. Al suo intervento farà seguito un dibattito su “II Ticino nei rapporti fra Svizzera ed Europa” con candidati al Consiglio degli Stati e al Consiglio Nazionale. Il Nuovo movimento europeo svizzera è favorevole all’adesione della Svizzera all’Unione europea. Per questo sostiene e si fa promotore dei processi di avvicinamento. Notevole è stato – ad esempio – il suo impegno a favore degli accordi bilaterali I (1999) e II (2004) tra la Svizzera e l’Union europea.

Awards will be granted to the best productions and most brilliant careers in the video game industry, both for games developed for fun and those fulfilling cultural, educational, healthcare, or corporate purposes. The Festival Awards Gala will be held at the Campos Elíseos Theatre in Bilbao on November 8, 2011. On November 8 and 9, Serious Games professionals will get together at the 1st International Professional Conference on Serious Games, to be held in Bilbao, in the context of the Fun & Serious Game Festival. In its first edition, the event aims at consolidating the video game industry in Spain and the European continent. The conference will take place at the Euskalduna Conference Centre, next to the Guggenheim Bilbao Museum. One of the highlights of the Fun & Serious Game Festival is the emphasis on Serious Games and the future prospects of video games developed for purposes other than entertainment. “Serious games are converging in the virtual world and social networks, and immersive technologies will be used in the recruitment of professionals, evaluation, and continuous learning.” This is the future of the Serious Game industry in the words of the president of the Serious Game Jury, David Wortley, founding partner at Immersive Technology Strategies and Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts (FRSA). Those who attend the 1st International Professional Conference on Serious Games on November 8 and 9 will be able to listen to keynote speakers like Wortley himself, Samir Abou-Samra (CTO of DigiPen Corporation USA who has led simulation projects for Boeing and Renault F1), Jurriaan van Rijswijk (director of Serious Games for Health Europe and founding director of Games Factory Online), or Julián Álvarez (ICT consultant specializing in Serious Games at the French consulting firm Ludoscience and regular contributor to the annual report on the Serious Game Market produced by IDATE). They will describe the contemporary scene of Serious Games and show the most successful applications with users and developers in the fields of health, education, worker training, and the promotion of culture. Other keynote speakers at the Euskalduna Convention Centre and Concert Hall in Bilbao include the health psychologist Pamela M. Kato, who, after founding HopeLab and being a clinical instructor in Paediatrics at Stanford Hospital in the United States, is currently developing and testing a clinically validated serious game to train medical residents in patient safety; Gareth Mills, who, as head of Futures, Innovation, and Elearning at the QCA, has led major developments in the curriculum in England; Maurizio Forte, professor of World Heritage at the University of California, Merced, and of Virtual Environments for Cultural Heritage at the University of Lugano; and Tim Luft, who at Coventry University has supported the development of economic regeneration programs and has delivered projects in partnership with the European Union and UK Trade & Investment.

Warum gibt es keine Schweizer SAP oder Microsoft? Ja, warum eigentlich - dies fragt sich auch der Avaloq-Gründer, -Besitzer und Chef Francisco Fernandez (Foto links), der mit der Übernahme der Mehrheit des Tessiner Bankendienstleisters B-Source eben einen grossen Schritt in neue Geschäftsfelder gemacht hat. Zusammen mit B-Source-Chef Markus Gröninger (rechts) erläutert Fernandez im Gespräch mit inside-it.ch seine Strategie, die er mit B-Source, im internationalen Geschäft aber auch mit dem Insurance-Spezialisten Adcubum verfolgt und sagt, welche Gefahr dem Schweizer Software-Werkplatz droht. Der Schweizer Markt für Core-Banking-Systeme ist verteilt und es gibt nicht mehr viel zu gewinnen. Ist das der heimliche Grund für den Kauf von B-Source? Francisco Fernandez: Das sehe ich anders. Es gibt noch einige grosse Banken, die mehr denn je Handlungsbedarf haben. 2008, vor der Krise, war der Bedarf noch nicht so akut. Jetzt sieht die Situation anders aus. Zudem gibt es rund 200 kleine Finanzinstitute - nicht nur Banken, sondern auch Effektenhändler oder unabhängige Asset Managers, die wir mit unserem Flaggschiff, dem Avaloq Banking System, nicht optimal erreichen konnten. Solche Institute sind nicht in der Lage, Avaloq selbst zu betreiben. Mit der parametrisierten Standard-Lösung "B-Source Master powered by Avaloq" haben wir nun auch für sehr kleine Institute ein kostengünstiges Angebot. Das ist ein zusätzliches Marktsegment für Avaloq. Auch die Marktentwicklung spricht für uns. Die Assets der Banken schrumpfen und die Schweiz steht als Steueroase in Frage. Das Schweizer Offshore-Modell im Banking gibt es in dieser Form nicht mehr. Das setzt die Ertragslage der kleinen Institute enorm unter Druck, während gleichzeitig Kosten und Komplexität explodieren. Denken Sie nur schon an das Dutzend Abgeltungsabkommen, die implementiert werden müssen, und an die kommenden Regulierungen wie etwa FATCA. Schliesslich steigen auch die Ansprüche des Kunden. Er will Mobile-Banking, Rund-um-die-Uhr-Betreuung, internationale Dienstleistungen, einen Banking-Client für seinen Tablet-PC und vieles mehr. Kleine Institute kommen in einen nicht mehr zu bewältigenden Clinch zwischen Kosten und Erträgen. Dass diese Institute nun einen grossen Teil der Komplexität an B-Source übergeben können, bietet ihnen eine Überlebenschance. Wir haben schon heute bei B-Source das kritische Volumen, das es braucht, um ein kostengünstiges Angebot machen zu können. Markus Gröninger: Wir können kleineren Banken mit dem B-Source Master nicht nur kostengünstig ein System anbieten, sondern auch sehr schnell - innert sechs Monaten von Projektstart bis zum Going-Live - einführen. Während Avaloq mit B-Source nun kleinere Banken ansprechen kann, können wir umgekehrt jetzt auch grössere Banken adressieren. Für eine grössere Bank war es bisher undenkbar, ihre Kundendaten und ihre Wertschöpfungskette zu einer Tochterfirma der Konkurrenz auszulagern. Welche Strategie verfolgen Sie im internationalen Geschäft? Wie wollen sie mit B-Source in der gleichen Liga wie eine IBM, Accenture oder Tata Consultancy Services spielen? Francisco Fernandez: B-Source ist bereits heute international tätig, denn unser Kunde BSI ist in 12 Ländern präsent. Wie bei Avaloq haben wir mit B-Source die Strategie, zuerst die Hausaufgaben im Heimmarkt zu machen. Wenn wir die Dienstleistungen von B-Source im Schweizer Markt gut erbringen, so werden sie zu einem exportierbaren Gut. Warum soll der Erfolg mit der Internationalisierung der Software beim Lizenzgeschäft aufhören? Seit 2007 sind wir mit Avaloq international tätig. Heute haben wir Auslandniederlassungen in Luxemburg, Singapur, Hongkong, Wien, Paris, Frankfurt und London. Die Niederlassungen in Luxemburg und Asien haben die Profitabilität bereits erreicht.

The idea is to raise awareness among Croatian students about the importance of free flow of information and open access to research literature, which is not a familiar term, by raising questions about what students are already well familiar with, i.e., intellectual property. The students will be introduced to Copyleft movement, Creative Commons licensing, Open Projects, Open Content movement, Open Access movement and the Right to Research Coalition action and they will be invited to join the debate about the chances for the world of open values. More information about the SHOW and the landing page will be presented soon! Some of the activities (with possible alterations) are listed below and more are to be announced. Hopefully, you will join our effort to push the OA movement forward! - 20 us.cision.com Wednesday, October 26 1.

Il dispositivo vincolato alla legge cantonale universitaria prevede all’articolo 3 che il Consiglio di Stato presenti annualmente un messaggio al Gran Consiglio affinché si possano verificare la politica universitaria condotta, l’utilizzo del montante globale nonché il raggiungimento degli obiettivi fissati dal Contratto di prestazione. Per l’anno 2010 risulta che l’utilizzo del montante globale cantonale da parte degli istituti è stato coerente con gli obiettivi dei Contratti di prestazione.

It also aims at developing African capacities for peace operations. The Course will also demonstrate the opportunities and challenges of these new ICTs and social media tools and provide some reality based simulation exercises. The Swiss Government financially supports the contribution of ICT4Peace. Efficient and timely provision of shared situational awareness (SSA) and professional crisis information management are essential to enable decision-making in Multi-dimensional Peace Operations and are a prerequisite for effective action and integrated approach, founding principles of the United Nations and African Union integrated missions. Ultimately, successful integration and coordination requires a high degree of sensitivity to the interest and operating cultures of a broad set of actors, and efficient and appropriate Information Management (IM). For this purpose, for instance, the UN has established Joint Mission Analysis Centres (JMAC) in peace missions that are staffed by civilian, military and police peacekeeping personnel. JMAC’s role is the provision of reliable information to decision-makers to make accurate and appropriate decisions in crisis situations – whether humanitarian or conflict based – using openly collected information from a variety of uniformed and civilian sources. These include modern Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) using social media, crisis mapping, and crowd sourcing as essential tools already used by the international community in crises. The Folke Bernadotte Academy has carried out the Information and Intelligence Cooperation in Multifunctional International Operations Course, and contributed to the Development of the Nordcaps United Nations Joint Mission Analysis Centres Course. The Cairo Regional Center for Training on Conflict Resolution and Peacekeeping in Africa (CCCPA) and the ICT4Peace Foundation have cooperated in the past, in organizing Training Programs for Multidisciplinary Integrated Missions in Africa and a Training Programme for Integrated Missions to Overcome the Lack of Shared Situational Awareness in Peacekeeping Operations. ICT4Peace has supported the Kofi Annan International Peace-keeping Training Center (KAIPTC) in Ghana to develop a Crisis Information Management Course and carried out a Crisis Information Management Training Course at the Master Programme on Humanitarian Logistics and Management of the University of Lugano USI), together with OCHA. At the Conference of the International Association od Peacekeeping Training Centers, IAPTC 2010 in Dhaka, ICT4Peace organized a workshop on a potential JMACCiM course, which was well received. Following that conference, FBA, CMC, ZIF, CCCPA and ICT4Peace agreed to jointly develop a Senior - 23 us.cision.com JMAC-CiM training course, building on the experiences of the above-mentioned courses and organisations, and in coordination with UN and the African Union. Subsequently ICT4Peace and its partners organized a one day workshop – kindly hosted at and by ZIF in Berlin, to discuss and develop the content of a new training course, under the leadership of Jacques Baud, Director of the course in Cairo, a former Head of the JMAC in Sudan and a Senior Advisor of the ICT4Peace Foundation.

È lo stesso Santarsiero a comunicarlo durante l’ultima seduta del consiglio comunale: il Governo centrale avrebbe deciso di dirottare al nord il finanziamento di 11 milioni di euro previsto per Potenza. POTENZA - Chissà, forse qualcuno a Roma avrà captato l’eco della polemica potentina: la metropolitana costa 200mila euro all’anno e viene sottoutilizzata. È il caso di risparmiare questi soldi? Se il sindaco Vito Santarsiero tergiversa, il Governo centrale non ci pensa su due volte e taglia. Taglia tutto. Santarsiero, sulla Gazzetta, nei giorni scorsi ha ammesso che il servizio oggi non è utilizzato in massa dai cittadini, ma ha invitato a pazientare, spiegando che con il progetto di potenziamento della metropolitana, già finanziato dal Ministero delle Infrastrutture, il capoluogo potrà presto contare su collegamenti migliori. Tre giorni dopo l’appello all’ottimismo arriva la doccia fredda. È lo stesso Santarsiero a comunicarlo durante l’ultima seduta del consiglio comunale: il Governo centrale avrebbe deciso di dirottare al nord il finanziamento di 11 milioni di euro previsto per Potenza. Il Comune lucano, lo ricordiamo, è risultato terzo (dopo Milano e Bologna) nella graduatoria degli enti ammessi al finanziamento dal ministero delle Infrastrutture per i progetti sulla mobilità: all’amministrazione potentina sono stati assegnati, per l’esattezza, 10,9 milioni di euro per il «Servizio ferroviario metropolitano hinterland potentino». Soldi che, come dicevamo, il Governo, alle prese con tagli, ritagli e frattaglie, vuole spedire al nord, magari spalmandoli sugli altri due progetti finanziati, quelli di Milano e Bologna. L’intero progetto di Potenza ha un valore complessivo di 18 milioni di euro, di cui il 40 per cento a carico del Comune (su fondi Pisus) e il 60 per cento a carico del Ministero. È previsto lo sdoppiamento del binario Rfi-Fal tra le stazioni di Potenza, Santa Maria e Macchia Romana, per «rendere la linea Fal il più possibile indipendente da quella Rfi», la realizzazione di due nodi di interscambio, di sottopassi per eliminare i passaggi a livello di via Angilla Vecchia e via Campania, la ristrutturazione delle stazioni e la realizzazione di tre nuove fermate (Parc...
