2. 1. On the Road to a Software Profession : Students’ Experiences of Concepts and Thresholds

   Author : Jonas Boustedt; Michael Thuné; Roy Nilsson; Erkki Sutinen; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Biographies; class diagram; computer science education; computer science education research; computing concepts; concept map; content analysis; higher education; java interface; learning; object orientation; phenomenography; programming; role-play; software development; software profession; threshold concepts; variation theory; Datavetenskap med inriktning mot datavetenskapens didaktik; Computer Science with specialization in Computer Science Education Research;

   Abstract : Research has shown that there are gaps in knowledge between newly hired and experienced professionals and that some of these gaps are related to concepts, such as the concepts of object orientation. This problem, and the fact that most computer science majors want to work in the software industry, leads to questions regarding why these gaps exist and how students can be better prepared for their future careers.

4. 2. Shadows of Cavernous Shades: Charting the Chiaroscuro of Realistic Computing

   Author : Erik Persson; Data Vetenskap; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; history of computing; philosophy of technology; philosophy of computing; realistic computing; virtual reality; object-orientation; business objects; software components; client server database access architectures; Computer science; numerical analysis; systems; control; Datalogi; numerisk analys; system; kontroll;

   Abstract : During the early 1990s, a novel style of programming often referred to as component-oriented programming quickly grew popular as the state-of-the-art in graphical user interface and client/server development on Windows-based personal computers, largely in competition with object-oriented programming, a partly similar, partly different programming paradigm, with which component-orientation is often compared, combined, and confused. Also during the 1990s, the world-wide web spread its arachnoid gossamer over the globe with deep-ranging ramifications for software component technology. READ MORE

5. 3. Unwrapping Cobol : Lessons in Crisis Computing

   Author : Linda Hilfling Ritasdatter; Susan Kozel; Maria Hellström Reimer; Florian Cramer; Nishant Shah; Malmö universitet; []
   Keywords : Crisis; Execution; Maintenance; Cobol; Automation; Global Flows; Y2K; Human Factor; Outsourcing; Development; Legacy Systems; Programming Languages; History of Computing; HCI; Software Wrapping; Postcolonial Studies; Diffraction; Broken world thinking; Grace Hopper; Media Archaeology; Debugging; Zombie Media; Obsolescence; Technological Development; Unsettling Ontologies; Fourth Industrial Revolution; Artificial Intelligence; Interaktionsdesign; Interaktionsdesign;

   Abstract : By engaging with COBOL, a detested and would-be obsolete programming language, the dark sides of automation are examined in this thesis: hidden workforces and computational infrastructures that are, in reality, central to the execution and maintenance of global economic and informational flows. Frictions within these flows are made more visible in moments of crisis when asymmetrical power structures are surfaced, as demonstrated in an analysis of the infamous Y2K Bug, its connection to the outsourcing boom in India and the legacy of COBOL.

6. 4. From Conceptual Links to Causal Relations — Physical-Virtual Artefacts in Mixed-Reality Space

   Author : Thomas Pederson; Lars-Erik Janlert; William Buxton; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Människa-dator-interaktion; Human-Computer Interaction; Mixed Reality; Augmented Reality; Ubiquitous Computing; Pervasive Computing; Graspable User Interfaces; Tangible User Interfaces; Wearable Computing; Context Awareness; User Modelling; Interaction Design; Systems Design; Människa-dator-interaktion; Information technology; Informationsteknologi; business data processing; administrativ databehandling;

   Abstract : This thesis presents a set of concepts and a general design approach for designing Mixed Reality environments based on the idea that the physical (real) world and the virtual (digital) world are equally important and share many properties. Focus is on the design of a technology infrastructure intended to relieve people from some of the extra efforts currently needed when performing activities that make heavy use of both worlds.

7. 5. Quantum Holonomies : Concepts and Applications to Quantum Computing and Interferometry

   Author : David Kult; Erik Sjöqvist; Gunnar Björk; Barry Sanders; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Physics; Quantum Holonomy; Geometric Phase; Quantum Computation; Completely Positive Map; Mixed State; Interferometry; Fysik;

   Abstract : Quantum holonomies are investigated in different contexts.A geometric phase is proposed for decomposition dependent evolution, where each component of a given decomposition of a mixed state evolves independently. It is shown that this geometric phase only depends on the path traversed in the space of decompositions. READ MORE
