Fast ein Viertel aller EuropäerInnen über 15 Jahren übt ein freiwilliges Engagement aus. In Deutschland ist es sogar mehr als ein Drittel. Das Thema ist in den letzten Jahren verstärkt in der Öffentlichkeit präsent: sei es in Print-, Radio- und TV-Beiträgen oder anlässlich von Preisverleihungen an Ehrenamtliche. Vor diesem Hintergrund ernannte der Rat der Europäischen Union das Jahr 2011 zum „Europäischen Jahr der Freiwilligentätigkeit“. Lisa Katrin Schürmann analysiert drei Kampagnen anlässlich dieses Schwerpunktjahres aus Deutschland, Schweden und der Schweiz. Aus den Ergebnissen entwickelt sie einen Praxisleitfaden für Non-Profit-Organisationen. Mit diesem kann eine Öffentlichkeitsarbeit in net und Social internet gelingen, die Engagierten Anerkennung zollt und zum Engagement bereite Menschen zu einer freiwilligen Tätigkeit motiviert.

Der große Einfluss des Internets auf die Politik ist mittlerweile unbestritten. Dieser Band versammelt ausgewählte und überarbeitete Beiträge der Konferenz "Digitale Demokratie wagen - web verändert die Politik", die im Juni 2002 in Berlin stattfand. Nach einem einleitenden Beitrag zum Stand der politikwissenschaftlichen Beschäftigung mit dem Thema "Internet und Politik" folgen in zwei Abschnitten zunächst praxisorientierte Beiträge (u.a. "Internetnutzung durch Landtagsabgeordnete", "Parlamentarier im web - Erste Ergebnisse von Befragungen in Deutschland und Europa") dann Beiträge mit demokratietheoretischem Schwerpunkt (u.a. "Macht, Virtualität und differente Konzepte von Herrschaft", "Parteiinterner Einsatz neuer Medien und die Macht der Eliten").

How to run large-scale, data-intensive workloads with Compute Engine, Google’s cloud platform. Written by means of Google engineers, this educational walks you thru the main points of this Infrastructure as a carrier by means of displaying you ways to enhance a venture with it from starting to finish. You’ll research top practices for utilizing Compute Engine, with a spotlight on fixing sensible problems.

With programming examples written in Python and JavaScript, you’ll additionally methods to use Compute Engine with Docker packing containers and different structures, frameworks, instruments, and prone. detect how this IaaS is helping you achieve unheard of functionality and scalability with Google’s complicated garage and computing technologies.

- entry and deal with Compute Engine assets with an internet UI, command-line interface, or RESTful interface
- Configure, customise, and paintings with Linux VM instances
- discover garage strategies: continual disk, Cloud garage, Cloud SQL (MySQL within the cloud), or Cloud Datastore NoSQL service
- Use a number of deepest networks, and a number of circumstances on each one network
- construct, set up, and attempt an easy yet entire cloud computing program step-by-step

The papers during this publication current a number of viewpoints at the layout and - plementation of recommendations for QoS engineering for net services.They have been chosen from greater than 70 submissions to the first foreign workshop on “Quality of destiny web prone” (QofIS) geared up via price motion 263. the focus of the papers is at the construction, con?guration and deployment of end-to-end providers over a QoS guaranteed net utilizing the IntServ (Integrated prone) and Di?Serv (Di?erentiated prone) types. the most technical p- gramme used to be accomplished by way of keynote talks: IETF Chair Fred Baker opened the workshop with a dialogue on significant net improvement instructions and Andrew M. Odlyzko of AT&T Labs learn gave the last speak on web charging concerns. The presentation of papers was once organised in nine classes. The emphasis of consultation 1 is on an evaluation of the fundamental construction blocks for a QoS guaranteed net, i.e., queueing and scheduling, which essentially de?nes the gap for end-to-end providers. The papers of this consultation talk about the boundaries we may perhaps anticipate from those development blocks, the problems of queueing and scheduling administration, and the parameters we have to song in a dynamic implementation. move regulate and congestion keep an eye on can't be thought of with out regard to the dominating influence of TCP. The key-phrase of consultation 2 is, as a result, Intern- pleasant version. 4 papers during this consultation are complementary and jointly current an rising figuring out of a simple optimum zone for such adaptation.

This synthesis lecture offers a survey of labor on privateness in on-line social networks (OSNs). This paintings encompasses issues of clients in addition to carrier prone and 3rd events. Our objective is to procedure such issues from a computer-science viewpoint, and development upon current paintings on privateness, safety, statistical modeling and databases to supply an summary of the technical and algorithmic matters relating to privateness in OSNs. we commence our survey through introducing an easy OSN info version and describe universal statistical-inference innovations that may be used to deduce possibly delicate info. subsequent, we describe a few privateness definitions and privateness mechanisms for facts publishing. ultimately, we describe a collection of modern ideas for modeling, comparing, and handling person users' privateness hazard in the context of OSNs.

As soon as upon a time Linus Torvalds was once a thin unknown, simply one other nerdy Helsinki techie who were being silly with desktops considering that youth. Then he wrote a groundbreaking working approach and dispensed it through the web -- at no cost. this present day Torvalds is a world people hero. And his production LINUX is utilized by over 12 million humans in addition to via businesses comparable to IBM.

Now, in a story that zips in addition to the rate of electronic mail, Torvalds provides a historical past of his renegade software program whereas candidly revealing the quirky brain of a genius. the result's an engrossing portrayal of a guy with a progressive imaginative and prescient, who demanding situations our values and should switch our global.
