CILA: Librarians on a Mission

ACL members have long been involved in serving international libraries, both by going overseas to work in libraries there, and by providing resources and advice from home. The Commission for International Library Assistance (CILA) was formed in order to develop a strategic plan to accomplish this mission more effectively, through publications, training, consultation, and other assistance. This brief history shows that over the years, changing technology and circumstances have changed some of CILA’s strategies, but the mission remains the same

Study of random process theory aids digital data processing

Study of techniques for all random process technology, including stationary, nonstationary, and Gaussian bivariate, aids digital data processing. It presents material on digital filtering, correlation function, optimal spectral smoothing, deterministic data processing, and nonstationary spectrum and correlation analyses

Commuting Charges of the Quantum Korteweg-deVries and Boussinesq Theories from the Reduction of W(infinity) and W(1+infinity) Algebras

Integrability of the quantum Boussinesq equation for c=-2 is demonstrated by giving a recursive algorithm for generating explicit expressions for the infinite number of commuting charges based on a reduction of the W(infinity) algebra. These charges exist for all spins $s \geq 2$. Likewise, reductions of the W(infinity/2) and W((1+infinity)/2) algebras yield the commuting quantum charges for the quantum KdV equation at c=-2 and c=1/2, respectively.Comment: 11 pages, RevTe

Algebraic Linearization of Dynamics of Calogero Type for any Coxeter Group

Calogero-Moser systems can be generalized for any root system (including the non-crystallographic cases). The algebraic linearization of the generalized Calogero-Moser systems and of their quadratic (resp. quartic) perturbations are discussed.Comment: LaTeX2e, 13 pages, no figure
