Does OO sync with the way we think?
No full textGiven that corrective-maintenance costs already dominate the software life cycle and look set to increase significantly, reliability in the form of reducing such costs should be the most important software improvement goal. Yet the results are not promising when we review recent corrective-maintenance data for big systems in general and for OO in particular-possibly because of mismatches between the OO paradigm and how we think

SayMore: Language documentation productivity
No full textLanguage Documenters quickly amass a large number of original recordings and artifacts based on them. We need to manage recordings, document informed consent, transcribe, translate, enter metadata, convert file formats, and, finally, submit to a digital archive. Along the way, we need to keep all these files well-organized and labeled. And we must keep track of the goals of the project in order to emerge with the desired coverage in areas such as genre, spontaneity, and the social roles of the speaker. We have powerful software for parts of this workflow, including Arbil, Elan, and EXMARaLDA. However, many of these tools appear best-suited for rather computer-savvy linguists, or those who can attend training courses. Recent linguistic software including WeSay (Albright and Author 2007) and FOLKER (Schmidt and Schütte 2010) have demonstrated that we can involve a wider spectrum of participants by using software with a task-focused interface that prioritizes clarity and efficiency over flexibility. In compensation, such software needs to emit data files that can be opened in more complex/powerful applications for further work. This paper presents SayMore (http://saymore.palaso.org), a new software tool that streamlines the collection and annotations of recordings. Currently, SayMore eases the collecting of media files from a recording device, the addition of metadata, transcription, and, perhaps uniquely, oral annotation (respeaking and translation). All time-aligned data is stored in ELAN XML format, so that projects needing to go beyond SayMore’s built-in annotation capability can do so easily. For interlinearization, SayMore can export to FLEx, Toolbox, and other formats. For sharing with the community, SayMore produces subtitled videos. For archiving, it has built-in capability to convert file formats to those appropriate for long-term accessibility. Finally, the paper describes how SayMore helps researchers monitor progress towards project goals along several axes, including genre, spontaneity, and which workflow steps have been completed

The Age of Mass Migration: Causes and Economic Impact
No full textAbout 55 million Europeans migrated to the New World between 1850 and 1914, landing in
North and South America and in Australia. This movement, which marked a profound and permanent
shift in global population and economic activity, is described in vivid detail by Timothy J. Hatton
and Jeffrey G. Williamson, and the causes and effects relative to this great relocation are soundly
analysed. The Age of Mass Migration offers a thorough treatment of a period of vital development
in the economic history of the modern world and, moreover, devotes much objective consideration to
certain economic questions that still baffle us today: Why does a nation's emigration rate
typically rise with early industrialization? How do immigrants choose their destinations? Are
international labour markets segmented? Do immigrants truly "rob" jobs from locals? What impact do
immigrants have on wage rates and living standards in the host country? In addressing these issues,
and many of others, this book takes a new and comprehensive view of mass migration. Although
somewhat controversial in terms of method--it assigns to a social phenomenon an economic
explanation and interpretation-- The Age of Mass Migration will be useful to all students of
migration, historical or contemporary, and to anyone interested in international economic
activities
