University Ucinf was a Chilean private university specializing in informatics. The UCINF had 7 faculties and 3 Technological Institutes dedicated to the teaching of technical careers.The UCINF was recognized as the 48th Chilean university according to the classification of the Superior Council of Scientific Research or CSIC, in July 2011, and 25th according to the ranking of El Mercurio.
We consider the governance of federated systems (interacting autonomous platforms) associated with social media. A salient feature is that the individual platforms (or “servers”) may operate under different “acceptable use” principles (moderation, content types, and user match with these are parameters of interest). These principles may be articulated in advance for each server and are enforced through content moderation. We analyze these through the lens of Ostromian notions of polycentrism as well as with the GKC framework. Toward this analysis we use data from Mastodon and an agent-based simulation of platforms using NetLogo. The data analysis shows that the number of instances or servers has plateaued in Mastodon despite the backlash against Twitter. Our agent-based model provides us with the observation that there is little churn in users once they settle on a platform. We discuss several ways to extend our model of federated systems as well as lay a groundwork for comparisons of federated and centralized social media systems.
Abstract: When it comes to deciding on significant matters pertaining to their businesses, a large number of businesses and organizations rely on what are known as decision support systems (DSS). Both the theory and practice of decision support systems are continuing to advance, and they are occasionally converging with other significant advancements in information technology (IT), such as organizational computing, e-commerce and business, and pervasive computing. A well-designed decision support system is an interactive software-based system that assists decision-makers in identifying problems, finding solutions to those problems, and making decisions. This assistance might come in the form of raw data, documentation, personal expertise, or business models. Building decision support systems around the concept of providing the people who will use them with the tools that will assist them in analyzing data, applying models and databases, and finding viable answers to the problems they face is the primary focus of the development of these systems. Bringing attention to recent developments in decision-making assistance systems is the primary objective of this research. In addition, we discuss both the positive and bad sides of utilizing a decision support system, all of which are essential concepts to know in order to avoid repeating the same errors twice. In the very last step, but certainly not the least, we discuss the scenarios and the many forms of decision aids. This was accomplished by providing an in-depth summary of more than fifteen separate investigations.
Arab countries paid early attention to intellectual property issues, so that we find some of them have contributed to the international effort to protect intellectual property in the 19th century, as is the case of the Republic of Tunisia. And that a large number of major Arab countries were members of many international intellectual property agreements. And through the legislative survey on the scope of protection established in the Arab countries for intellectual property works, we find that all Arab countries have laws in the field of copyright protection, patents, design and trademarks
Spectrum management is typically analyzed by comparing licensed from unlicensed regimes. The former is typically assumed to be a market regime and the latter analyzed through a lens of commons governance. We introduce the idea of unassigned spectrum as a general category of spectrum management that nests within it both licensed and unlicensed uses. The primary shared characteristic of unassigned spectrum is that a formal regulatory authority does not grant exclusive rights to users within a specific electrospace. We illustrate through case studies that spectrum management with unassigned spectrum may not require the establishment and enforcement of rights within a particular frequency/time/location and that governing unassigned spectrum may involve non-market approaches to tackling resource congestion. Through case analyses, we suggest a way to analyze spectrum management that goes beyond the licensed-or-unlicensed spectrum dichotomy. From a policy perspective, we argue that unassigned spectrum may contribute to more effective spectrum policies that address the diverse needs of users. We outline a strategy to differentiate spectrum allocation from assignment, discuss how several well-known spectrum bands can be interpreted as unassigned spectrum, and conclude with a preliminary discussion of implications for policy.
