Open source in biblioteca: how to?
No full textOpen source applications become more and more widespread against proprietary systems in every field. It is important to avoid mistakes that can compromise services and increase costs. This short contribution points to some elements that need attention when a cost-benefit analysis is undertaken before the choice of open source applications for libraries or e-publishing services.Sempre maggiore interesse destano in tutti i settori, anche in Italia, le possibili applicazioni informatiche open source, in alternativa ai software proprietari. È importante, dunque, far chiarezza per evitare errori che possono seriamente compromettere le funzionalità del servizio e generare spese impreviste. Questo breve articolo si pone l'unico obiettivo di individuare alcuni elementi ai quali prestare attenzione nel momento in cui si voglia intraprendere un'analisi costi-benefici riguardo all'adozione di uno o più applicativi open source per le biblioteche e i servizi di editoria elettronica
Una BOA per i prodotti della ricerca in Bicocca
No full textBOA is the Milano-Bicocca University repository carried out in the context of the SURplus project in June 2008 in order to place in archives the whole scientific production of the University. With BOA the University aims at creating a complete and inter-workable database of all its scientific publications, a database from which it is possible to feed the remaining SURplus modules, to get consultation and bibliographic citations statistics, to extract information to insert into other databases.BOA (Bicocca Open Archive) è il repository dell'Università di Milano-Bicocca per l'archiviazione della produzione scientifica di Ateneo, creato nell'ambito del progetto SURplus nel giugno 2008. Con BOA l'Università si propone di creare una banca dati omnicomprensiva e interoperabile di tutte le pubblicazioni dell'Università di Milano-Bicocca, dalla quale sia possibile alimentare gli altri moduli di SURplus, ricavare statistiche di consultazione e citazioni bibliografiche ed estrarre informazioni da caricare su altre banche dati

Le potenzialità dell'Import UNIMARC nell'esperienza del Polo MIL
No full textThe application SBN Unix C/S handles the feature Import UNIMARC, allowing to obtain information on the data of pole and library from a database, without conversation with SBN. In 2008, CILEA gained a remarkable expe-rience on the usage of this procedure, importing data for some libraries belonging to the MIL pole. The chances offered by the procedure and the successful imports render Import UNIMARC a useful activity both for libraries belonging to SBN and for libraries wanting to join it.L’applicativo SBN Unix C/S dispone della funzionalità Import UNIMARC che permette di acquisire sulle basi dati di polo e biblio informazioni derivanti da un data base gestito senza colloquio con SBN. Nel corso del 2008 il CILEA ha maturato una notevole esperienza sull’uso di questa procedura, eseguendo una serie di importazioni per biblioteche afferenti al polo MIL. Le possibilità offerte dalla procedura e l’esito positivo dell’importazioni effettuate rendono l’Import UNIMARC un’attività utile sia per le Biblioteche già afferenti a SBN, che per quelle che desiderino aderirvi
Conferenza MRSC 2008
No full textOn April the first MRSC conference outside Manchester took place in Belfast. FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) and GP-GPU (General-Purpose Graphics Processing Unit) accelerators are going to become an important piece of high performance clusters, in spite of the technical difficulties. This fact is helping to turn actual the forecasting vision of clusters with heterogeneous nodes, in which are interested the most important research computing centres.Si è svolta a Belfast lo scorso aprile l’edizione 2008 delle conferenze MRSC. Si è parlato soprattutto di acceleratori FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) e GP-GPU (General-Purpose Graphics Processing Unit), che nonostante le difficoltà stanno per diventare parte indispensabile dei cluster dedicati al calcolo intensivo, rendendo realtà la visione di cluster a nodi eterogenei di cui si cominciava a parlare nei centri di calcolo più importanti
Supercomputing 2008: nuovi protagonisti e solide certezze
No full textSupercomputing is the premier international conference on high performance computing, networking, storage, and analysis. Attendees become immersed in the latest state-of-the-field developments in technology, applications, vendor products, research results, national policy and national/ international initiatives. Supercomputing is the one place attendees can see tomorrow’s technology being used to solve world-class challenge problems today. CILEA participated actively to the Supercomputing 2008 conference presenting its resources and services.Supercomputing è la principale conferenza internazionale per quanto riguarda il calcolo, le reti, lo storage e l'analisi ad alte prestazioni. I visitatori sono immersi negli ultimi sviluppi di tecnologie, prodotti, ricerche, politiche e iniziative nazionali e internazionali. Supercomputing può essere definito l'unico posto al mondo dove si può vedere la tecnologia del domani mentre viene usata per risolvere i grandi problemi dell'oggi. CILEA ha partecipato attivamente all'edizione di quest'anno presentando risorse e servizi del Consorzio
Un software integrato per il sistema di scanning 3D IVVS dell'ENEA
No full textITER is a joint international research and development project that aims to demonstratethe scientific and technical feasibility of fusion power. The partners in the project arethe European Union (represented by EURATOM), Japan, the People´s Republic of China,India, the Republic of Korea, the Russian Federation and the USA. ITER will be constructedin Europe, at Cadarache in the South of France.A prototype of a laser In Vessel Viewing System was developed at ENEA laboratoriesin Frascati, which uses the amplitude modulated laser radar concept and it is conceivedto withstand the severe ITER conditions. The IVVS (In Vessel Viewing System) probe hasbeen designed and built to perform sub-millimetric three-dimensional images insideITER during maintenance procedure and it is based on an intrinsically radiation resistantconcept and architecture.CASPUR has developed the control/visualization software of the inspection system,which drives all the operations needed to perform an inspection: it is a graphical applicationthat starts an acquisition, performs the necessary data conversion to speedup theanalysis, archives and manages previous acquisitions, displays the reconstructed 3dscene, possibly comparing it with CAD data, while providing a range of image analysisand filtering tools
Il progetto EUPHORIC
No full textThe EUPHORIC project (EUropean Public Health Outcome Research and Indicators Collection)was funded by the European Commission, Directorate General for Health andConsumers, under the Program of Community Action in the Field of Public Health (2003–2008). The project focused on the strand of action “to improve information and knowledgefor the development of public health”.The EUPHORIC project aimed to define a common set of outcome indicators in someclinically relevant areas and to validate them among the participating European countries.The development of health indicators, as well as the collection and exchange of informationwithin and among Member States are relevant activities necessary for theimplementation of a public health monitoring system. Monitoring the efficiency andefficacy of different health systems at Community level enables the Commission andMember States to set appropriate strategies, policies and actions in order to guaranteethe quality of public healthcare.• The project was divided into three phases:• Survey: to make an inventory of outcome indicators in participating countries;• Pilot: to test selected indicators in participating countries;• Dissemination: to make results available on a web site.The project was guided by a network of 15 institutions from 10 European countriesand Israel. The network played a crucial role in the development of a joint effort toprovide a valuable source of information. The Istituto Superiore di Sanità acted as coordinationcentre and CASPUR as technological partner providing technical consultancyand support for both the design and the implementation of the website together withthe deployment and the housing of the site itself
