L'accés als recursos web des de les biblioteques

L’objecte central del present informe és descriure l’estat de la qüestió –tant a Catalunya com a altres països– de l’accés als recursos web des de les biblioteques. De fet, l’objectiu últim és presentar i analitzar la situació a l’estranger per tal d’adaptar les estratègies i els models de tractament i organització de recursos web a la realitat i les necessitats de les biblioteques catalanes.

In search of mathematical primitives for deriving universal projective hash families

We provide some guidelines for deriving new projective hash families of cryptographic interest. Our main building blocks are so called group action systems; we explore what properties of this mathematical primitives may lead to the construction of cryptographically useful projective hash families. We point out different directions towards new constructions, deviating from known proposals arising from Cramer and Shoup's seminal work.

The provision of quality in a bilateral search market

We accomplish two goals. First, we provide a non-cooperative foundation for the use of the Nash bargaining solution in search markets. This finding should help to close the rift between the search and the matching-and-bargaining literature. Second, we establish that the diversity of quality offered (at an increasing price-quality ratio) in a decentralized market is an equilibrium phenomenon - even in the limit as search frictions disappear.

Search and bargaining in large markets with homogeneous traders

We study pair-wise decentralized trade in dynamic markets with homogeneous, non-atomic, buyers and sellers that wish to exchange one unit. Pairs of traders are randomly matched and bargaining a price under rules that offer the freedom to quit the match at any time. Market equilbria, prices and trades over time, are characterized. The asymptotic behavior of prices and trades as frictions (search costs and impatience) vanish, and the conditions for (non) convergence to walrasian prices are explored. As a side product of independent interest, we present a self-contained theory of non-cooperative bargaining with two-sided, time-varying, outside options.

Catalan Policies and Experiences on Cooperative Repositories

The Centre de Supercomputació de Catalunya (CESCA) together with the Consorci de Biblioteques Universitàries de Catalunya (CBUC) started in 1999 a cooperative repository, named TDR, to file in digital format the full-text of the read thesis at the universities of our country to spread them worldwide in open access preserving the intellectual copyright of the authors. This became operational in 2001 and today it is a service fully consolidated not only among the Catalan universities, but also used by other Spanish universities. Since then, there are four additional cooperative repositories which have been created: RECERCAT, for research papers; RACO, for scientific, cultural and erudite Catalan magazines; PADICAT, for archiving Catalan web sites; and MDC, for Catalan digital collections of pictures, maps, posters, old magazines... These five repositories have some common characteristics: they are open access, that is, they are accessible on the internet for free; they mostly comply with the Open Archive Initiative interoperability protocol for facilitating the efficient dissemination of content; and they have been built in a cooperative manner so that it is easy to adopt common procedures and to share the repository developing and managing costs, it permits more visibility of the indexed documents throughout the search engines, and a better provision for long-term preservation can be made. In this paper we present the common policy established for the Catalan cooperative repositories, we describe the five of them briefly, and we comment on the results obtained of our 6-year experience since the first one became operational.

Portal web per a l'IES Pla d'en Boet de Mataró

Aquesta memòria tracta sobre el procediment de creació software que s’ha dut a terme per a implementar el portal web de l’IES Pla d’En Boet de Mataró, un institut públic subvencionat per la Generalitat de Catalunya. Aquest portal s’ha desenvolupat des de zero i s’ha hagut d’enllaçar amb altres aplicacions que han sigut requerides. El document conté l’anàlisi, disseny i l’implementació del portal web, i de tota la funcionalitat que l’envolta, que s’ha realitzat per satisfer els requeriments inicials. Conté, a més, les diferents anàlisis que s’han necessitat per tal d’integrar-lo amb una aplicació pròpia del centre i amb un sistema d’intercanvi de missatges, i com s’ha decidit fer-ho. S’intenta explicar alguna de les problemàtiques més importants que han aparegut al llarg del procés i que han afectat al seu desenvolupament. Les decisions preses per a resoldre-les també apareixen per avalar l’estudi realitzat. Finalment hi ha una valoració personal i una altra dels objectius aconseguits per veure que s’ha arribat a la solució final amb èxit.
