"Our project (titled xstream)  concentrated on evaluation of XPath over XML streams. This research area contains multiple challenges resulting  from both the richness  of the language and the requirement of having only a single  pass over the data. We modified and extended one of the known algorithms, TurboXPath  [4], a tree-based IBM algorithm. We also  provide extensive comparative analysis between  TurboXPath and XSQ [5], currently the most advanced of  finite automata (FA)-based algorithms."

Assessing the effect of different programming languages and programming styles on programmer productivity is of critical interest. In his paper, Gilles Dubochet, describes how he investigated two aspects of programming style using eye movement tracking. He found that it is, on average, 30% faster to comprehend algorithms that use for-comprehensions and maps, as in Scala, rather than those with the iterative while-loops of Java.

"In Forrester's 40-criteria evaluation of application programming interface (API) management solutions, we identified the 11 most significant software providers in the category - 3scale, Apigee, Axway, CA Technologies, IBM, Informatica, Intel Services, MuleSoft, SOA Software, Tibco Software, and WSO2 - and researched, analyzed, and evaluated them. This report details our findings about how well each vendor's products fulfill our criteria and where they stand in relation to each other. This analysis, combined with three buying guides that highlight key make-or-break decision factors, will help AD&D professionals select the right partner for their API management needs."

Muy buena data!

"Let's Encrypt is a free, automated, and open certificate authority (CA), run for the public's benefit. Let's Encrypt is a service provided by the Internet Security Research Group (ISRG). The key principles behind Let's Encrypt are: Free: Anyone who owns a domain name can use Let's Encrypt to obtain a trusted certificate at zero cost. Automatic: Software running on a web server can interact with Let's Encrypt to painlessly obtain a certificate, securely configure it for use, and automatically take care of renewal. Secure: Let's Encrypt will serve as a platform for advancing TLS security best practices, both on the CA side and by helping site operators properly secure their servers. Transparent: All certificates issued or revoked will be publicly recorded and available for anyone to inspect. Open: The automatic issuance and renewal protocol will be published as an open standard that others can adopt. Cooperative: Much like the underlying Internet protocols themselves, Let's Encrypt is a joint effort to benefit the community, beyond the control of any one organization."

"Government agencies using Julia include the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration), Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY), Brazilian National Bank for Economic and Social Development (BNDES), National Aeronautics and Space Administration Jet Propulsion Laboratory (NASA JPL), Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), Ames Laboratory, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC), Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL)."

"ImageTerrier is an open-source, scalable, high-performance search engine platform for content-based image retrieval applications. The ImageTerrier platform provides a comprehensive test-bed for experimenting with image retrieval techniques. The platform incorporates a state-of-the-art implementation of the single-pass indexing technique for constructing inverted indexes and is capable of producing highly compressed index data structures. ImageTerrier is written as an extension to the open-source Terrier test-bed platform for textual information retrieval research."

...investigadores de la Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) han desarrollado el algoritmo SoSACO, que acelera la búsqueda de caminos entre dos nodos pertenecientes al grafo que representa a una red social... Habría que analizar si es aplicable a los datos de navrel este algoritmo.

Chan! Esto cambiaría el juego!
