Asian open source continues marching ahead

Whenever the continuing FUD over licenses, standards and spin get me down I let my fingers do the Googling and check out what's happening in Asia. The calculus is simpler when you're starting from nothing. Ideas like sharing, saving and hope seem to have more meaning. (I found this...

A Graphical Representation for Biological Processes in the Stochastic Pi-Calculus

This paper presents a graphical representation for the stochastic calculus, which is formalised by defining a corresponding graphical calculus. The graphical calculus is shown to be reduction equivalent to stochastic, ensuring that the two calculi have the same expressive power. The graphical representation is used to model a couple of...

A Mobile Agent Service-Oriented Scripting Language Encoded on a Process Calculus

The paper presents a service-oriented scripting language for programming mobile agents in distributed systems. The main novelty of the language the authors call Mob, is the integration of the service-oriented and mobile agent paradigms. Mob is also encoded onto a process calculus with a well studied semantics. The encoding provides...

In lean times, a tale of two IT contractors

In lean times, a tale of two IT contractorsCognitive dissonanceContractors are both hurt and helped by a slowdown; companies both get rid of contractors and hire them. What to make of this?Perhaps calculus would help - do companies increase or decrease the rate of this churn during a slowdown? What...

Physics - getting a raw deal in schools?

A British study, as reported by the BBC has found that physics is not only being taught less and less by those who specialize in the subject, but also not emphasized outside of a general science curriculum. While the research is focused on the UK, it brings up some...

MIT students making solar power realistic

While most solar power installations involving standard photovoltaic cells are simply too expensive to be practical for most installations, a group of MIT graduate students just completed the first "parabolic" solar energy collector. Our algebra and pre-calculus students will remember that beams of light reflected from a parabola will...

Verizon FiOS goes 50 Mbps across U.S.: Should I upgrade?

Verizon on Tuesday said it will roll out 50 megabits per second Mbps broadband service with upload speeds of up to 20 Mbps. Needless, to say this national rollout--the 50 Mbps down 20 Mbps up (50/20) service was tested in select areas--got my attention. I'm a Verizon...

Has math instruction actually changed in the last 40 years?

I started my last two master's classes last night (!!). Since the classes consist largely of teachers, we usually end up having some pretty interesting discussions about teaching approaches to translating the master's-level content to secondary education. The first professor of the evening (analytic geometry, although...
