New Knowledge for Old Regions? The Case of the Software Park Hagenberg in the Traditional Industrial Region of Upper Austria
This paper seeks to enhance our understanding about the opportunities and limits of new path creation in traditional regional innovation systems. Due to their inherited historical legacies, such systems are usually thought of being ill-equipped to give rise to high-tech or knowledge intensive activities. Departing from recent insights on research concerned with the transformation of innovation systems and evolutionary economic geography we identify in a conceptual way enabling and constraining factors for the rise of new development paths in traditional regions. Empirically, we focus on the case of the “Software Park Hagenberg†(SPH) located in the old industrial region of Upper Austria. We examine key events triggering the emergence and subsequent evolution of the SPH and explore the role of the RIS in shaping the development trajectory of the SPH. Moreover, applying social network analysis tools, we investigate the pattern of networking between firms, research organisations and educational bodies within the SPH and we provide some evidence on the diffusion of knowledge and innovation generated though these interactions throughout the regional economy.
Towards an ASM thesis for reflective sequential algorithms
Starting from Gurevich's thesis for sequential algorithms (the so-called
"sequential ASM thesis"), we propose a characterization of the behaviour of
sequential algorithms enriched with reflection. That is, we present a set of
postulates which we conjecture capture the fundamental properties of reflective
sequential algorithms (RSAs). Then we look at the plausibility of an ASM thesis
for the class of RSAs, defining a model of abstract state machine (which we
call reflective ASM) that we conjecture captures the class of RSAs as defined
by our postulates
A Survey on Retrieval of Mathematical Knowledge
We present a short survey of the literature on indexing and retrieval of
mathematical knowledge, with pointers to 72 papers and tentative taxonomies of
both retrieval problems and recurring techniques.Comment: CICM 2015, 20 page
MBsums - a Mathematica package for the representation of Mellin-Barnes integrals by multiple sums
Feynman integrals may be represented by the Mathematica packages AMBRE and MB
as multiple Mellin-Barnes integrals. With the Mathematica package MBsums these
Mellin-Barnes integrals are transformed into multiple sums.Comment: Part of a talk presented by J. Gluza at the XXXIX International
