Free and Open Source Software for Development (Victor van Reijswoud, Arjan de Jager)

Free and Open Source Software for Development (Victor van Reijswoud, Arjan de Jager)

Development organizations and International Non-Governmental Organizations have been emphasizing the high potential of Free and Open Source Software for the Less Developed Countries. Cost reduction, less vendor dependency and increased potential for local capacity development have been their main arguments. In spite of its advantages, Free and Open Source Software is not widely adopted at the African continent. In this book the authors will explore the grounds on with these expectations are based. Where do they come from and is there evidence to support these expectations? Over the past years several projects have been initiated and some good results have been achieved, but at the same time many challenges were encountered...

From Word to Sentence. A Computational Algebraic Approach to Grammar (Joachim Lambek)

From Word to Sentence. A Computational Algebraic Approach to Grammar (Joachim Lambek)




This book deals with applications of algebraic and logical techniques to natural language processing. To every word of the language (here English) one associates a mathematical entity, its type. Even as a sentence is uttered or received, a parallel calculation on these types will produce a grammatical analysis, without exceeding the capacity of the short term memory to store information.

Information Societies and Digital Divides (Bernardo Sorj)

Information Societies and Digital Divides (Bernardo Sorj)

Though the author accepts that new technologies are not a panacea for the problems of inequality, access to them become a condition of full integration of social life...

Representing the Mind. A Collection of Instruments to Assess Naïve Psychological Conceptions (Alessandro Antonietti and Paola Iannello)

Representing the Mind. A Collection of Instruments to Assess Naïve Psychological Conceptions (Alessandro Antonietti and Paola Iannello)

Each one of us is a bit of a "psychologist" since we all naturally tend to build folk theories about the way the mind works. These naïve theories about the mind merit to be investigated both as a piece of our view of the reality and as specific beliefs which influence our perceptions, judgments and behaviours. Thus, both researchers and applied psychologists are interested in assessing people’s conceptions about the mind. In many cases such conceptions emerge from simple talks or interviews; in other cases they emerge from structured instruments such as questionnaires, checklists and tests. This volume includes a collection of instruments aimed at pinpointing what people think about psychological entities, functions and processes...
