We are very pleased to introduce Open Source Development, Communities and Quality. The International Conference on Open Source Systems has come to its fourth edition – OSS 2008. Now, Free, Libre, and Open Source software is by all means now one of the most relevant subjects of study in several disciplines, ranging from information technology to social sciences and including also law, business, and political sciences. There are several conference tracks devoted to open source software with several publications appearing in high quality journals and magazines. OSS 2008 has been organized with the purpose of being the reference venue for those working in this area, being the most prominent conference in this area. For this th reason OSS 2008 has been located within the frameworks of the 20 World Computer Congress, WCC 2008, in Milan, the largest event of IFIP in 2008. We believe that this conference series, and the IFIP working group it represents, can play an important role in meeting these challenges, and hope that this book will become a valuable contribution to the open source body of research.
As human life increasingly relates to and relies upon interactions with computer systems, researchers, designers, managers and users continuously develop desires to understand the current situations and future development of human computer interactions. Human Computer Interactions: Issues and Challenges focuses on the multidisciplinary subject of HCI which impacts areas such as information technology, computer science, psychology, library science, education, business and management. This book, geared toward researchers, designers, analysts and managers, reflects the most current primary issues regarding human-computer interactive systems, by emphasizing effective design, use and evaluation of such systems.
Exploring this theme, Robinson examines Plato's Ion, Philo Judaeus and Augustine on the Septuagint, Paul on inspired interpreters, Joseph Smith on the Book of Mormon, and Schleiermacher, Marx, and Heidegger on translation. He traces the imaginative and historical linkages between twentieth-century conceptions of ideology and ancient conceptions of spirit-channeling, and the performative inversion of power relations by which the "channel" (or translator) comes to wield the source author as his or her tool.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering, CAiSE 2008, held in Montpellier, France, in June 2008. The 35 revised full papers and 9 revised short papers presented together with 1 keynote lecture were carefully reviewed and selected from 273 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on duality and process modelling, interoperability of IS and enterprises, refactoring, information systems in e-government and life-science, knowledge patterns for IS engineering, requirements engineering for IS, conceptual schema modelling, service infrastructure, service evolution, flexible information technologies, metrics and process modelling, information system engineering, and IS development with ubiquitous technologies.
Behind the Screen unveils Nokia's phenomenal success story through people, business initiatives and products. The book explores key moments, key technologies and key managers who contributed to the company's growth to become the world's favorite mobile phone brand. In the 1990s, Nokia outrivaled the traditional telecommunications companies Motorola and Ericsson by introducing innovative products that allowed personalization and gaming, and by exploiting new technologies which created businesses that didn't exist before, such as ringtones. Once the dot-com bubble had burst and 3G licence bidding had driven the industry into a downturn, Nokia faced new competition. Microsoft challenged Nokia i...

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Design Science Research in Information Systems and Technology, DESRIST 2021, held in Kristiansand, Norway, in August 2021.* The 24 revised full research papers, included in the volume together with 6 short contributions and 7 prototype papers, were carefully reviewed and selected from 78 submissions. They are organized in the following topical sections: impactful sociotechnical design; problem and contribution articulation; design knowledge for reuse; emerging methods and frameworks for DSR; DSR and governance; the new boundaries of DSR. *Apart from the planned on-site event, the hybrid conference model was explored due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
This book provides students with an in-depth understanding of the concepts, frameworks and processes used to analyze and present visual data for better decision-making. Expert contributors provide guidance in translating complex concepts from large data sets and how this translation drives management practice. The book’s first part provides a descriptive consideration of state-of-the-art science in visual design. The second part complements the first with a rich set of cases and visual examples, illustrating development and best practice to provide students with real-world context. Through their presentation of modern scientific principles, the editors inspire structured discussions of audience and design, recognizing differences in need, bias and effective processes across contexts and stakeholders. This cutting-edge resource will be of value to students in business analytics, business communication and management science classes, who will learn to be capable managers through the effective and direct visual communication of data. Researchers and practitioners will also find this an engaging and informative book.
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Designing for a Digital and Globalized World, DESRIST 2019, held Worcester, MA, USA, June 2019.
