 Sakai CLE - Free Open Source Collaboration and Learning System http://www.sakaiproject.org/ The Sakai CLE is a free and open source Courseware Management System. It features a set of software tools designed to help instructors, researchers and students collaborate online in support of their work--whether it be course instruction, research or general project collaboration. For coursework, Sakai provides features to supplement and enhance teaching and learning. For collaboration, Sakai has tools to help organize communication and collaborative work on campus and around the world. Using a web browser, users choose from Sakai's tools to create a site that meets their needs. To use Sakai, no knowledge of HTML is necessary. But the product vision reaches beyond teaching and learning applications. Many Sakai deployments include as many or more project and research collaboration sites. In addition, the Open Source Portfolio e-Portfolio system is a core part of the Sakai software. Finally, the Sakaibrary project links library resources to Sakai. Sakai is distributed as free and open source software under the Educational Community License. Access to this code is extremely valuable to those who want to customize their on-campus instance or wish to develop innovative new tools. But open source code is important to the entire Sakai community. The ability to make that one change to the code for your campus can be crucially important and that change can be added to the Sakai code base, removing the need for customization as you upgrade. And the source code serves as the ultimate insurance policy, ensuring that you aren’t locked into a single vendor. Learn more by reading Sakai Profiles or Case Studies.

Economic behaviour needs to be understood in many dimensions and at many levels. QASS aims to strike a balance between analytical rigour and practical relevance with the view that economic analysis is a means to an end rather than an end in itself. The journal invites submissions of original articles in all fields of economics. Specific research areas covered include: financial economics; international economics; macroeconomics; microeconomics; political economy. QASS publishes high quality research in all areas of finance, striving to establish an interface between theory and practice and promote debate. Contributions that deal with issues and policies of the real financial world are particularly welcomed. Topic areas include: accounting; capital and security markets; corporate finance and corporate governance; financial engineering; mathematical finance; risk management. The journal welcomes creative contributions across a wide range of issues concerned with all aspects of econometrics and statistics. The following research areas, although not exhaustive, are representative of the coverage in this journal: applied probability; econometric theory; financial econometrics; statistical mathematics; time series analysis. posted by Marcus Zillman | 4:34 AM  ITDatabase - Precise Tech Media Research http://itdatabase.com/index13.html ITDatabase is the only research tool focused specifically on tech media.

Having too many choices, marketers face the challenge of determining which international markets to enter and the appropriate marketing strategies for those countries. The focus of this study is ranking the market potential of countries identified as "Emerging Markets" by The Economist magazine. These emerging economies comprise more than half of the world's population, account for a large share of world output, and have very high growth rates; all indicators of enormous market potential. This indexing study is conducted by MSU-CIBER to help companies compare the Emerging Markets with each other on several dimensions. Eight dimensions are chosen to represent the market potential of a country over a scale of 1 to 100. Each dimension is measured using various indicators, and are weighted in determining their contribution to the Overall Market Potential Index.

Thier initial research and development of the search engine dates back to October 2004, with the help of a number of supportive individuals. Lexxe is based in Sydney, Australia. "Lexxe", /leksI/ or pronounced 'leksi', our company name, is derived from a linguistic term "Lexical", which means "related to words". It emphasises the processing of language from the level of words and the meanings associated with them, which is a core issue for Lexxe. Lexxe has been exploring more intelligent ways to find information for users in a more meaningful way. They believe this method will eventually bring far more accurate and relevant search results than the current search technology.
