Feb 3 2012     Privacy online: perspectives on privacy and self-disclosure in the social Web Trepte S., Reinecke L.,  Springer Publishing Company, Incorporated, Berlin, Germany, 2011. 280 pp. Type: Book (978-3-642215-20-9) Although individuals know that online postings are widely accessible, posters act as though this information is private. This is the privacy paradox. Divided into three sections--“Approaches,” “Applications,” and... Feb 3 2012     Necessary and neglected?: An empirical study of internal documentation in agile software development teams Stettina C., Heijstek W.  SIGDOC 2011 (Proc. of the 29th ACM International Conference on Design of Communication, Pisa, Italy,  Oct 3-5, 2011) 159-166, 2011. Type: Proceedings Agile programming is not known for favoring internal software documentation. Since internal documentation does not directly contribute to making clients happy, agile programmers exhibit little enthusiasm for drafting ideas in plain text.... Feb 3 2012     Social aspects of music and interactive technologies in facilitating face-to-face interactions in third places Karnik M.  DESIRE 2011 (Proc. of the 2nd Conference on Creativity and Innovation in Design, Eindhoven, the Netherlands,  Oct 19-21, 2011) 431-432, 2011. Type: Proceedings This short research paper concisely presents two studies aimed at understanding social factors related to music. More precisely, it explores the way people perceive experiences and engage in relationships in public spaces.... Feb 3 2012     Designing mLearning: tapping into the mobile revolution for organizational performance Quinn C.,  Pfeiffer & Company, San Francisco, CA, 2011. 256 pp. Type: Book Mobile learning (mLearning) is finding application in a wide range of technological innovations, including geolocation; near field communication (NFC), which may help contextualize learning at a specific location or assist in the bidirectional... Feb 2 2012     Basic electronics for scientists and engineers Eggleston D.,  Cambridge University Press, New York, NY, 2011. 266 pp. Type: Book (978-0-521154-30-7) Eggleston argues that scientists and engineers often deal with measurement and experimental data in the form of electric signals obtained from some sort of electronic circuitry. In many cases, the circuitry is self-made because the desired... Feb 2 2012     Designing and implementing a measurement program for Scrum teams: What do agile developers really need and want? Ktata O., Lévesque G.  C3S2E 2010 (Proceedings of the Third C* Conference on Computer Science and Software Engineering, Montréal, QC, Canada,  May 19-20, 2010) 101-107, 2010. Type: Proceedings Agile software development relies on burn-down charts to track progress. Traditional process control, however, demands substantial measurement programs. So what are the needs and wants of agile developers regarding such programs? To answer this...

Software, which makes all of this data processing possible, must be robust, dependable, and easy to use. Accordingly, people who develop software should ... Feb 1 2012     A majorization-minimization approach to the sparse generalized eigenvalue problem Sriperumbudur B., Torres D., Lanckriet G.  Machine Learning 85(1-2): 3-39, 2011. Type: Article The topic of eigenvalue problems--and, more broadly, generalized eigenvalue (GEV) problems--is an important area of study that is used in a wide range of application areas (for example, structural mechanics and fluid flow). This paper,... Jan 27 2012         Display 510152550100 per page
