Searching Optimum Route With Variable Travel Time by Yamauchi Shuki, Tokunaga Junpei, Ebara Hiroyuki, Ueda Naonori

“…The proposed Method 2 facilitates vehicle dispersion by allowing drivers to set arrival times at their destinations in advance. We believe that this will alleviate the total level of congestion on the road by distributing routes according to the arrival time established by the drivers.We are convinced that if more vehicles were to use our proposed methods, energy consumption would be reduced in society as a whole.…”

Responsible innovation is not comfortable: a call for grounded, embodied reflexivity when doing RI by Karly Ann Burch, Susanna Finlay-Smits, Tara Roberson

“…We also highlight how discomfort can open-up or close-down opportunities for practicing RI – depending on how it is handled in practice. We believe such grounded, embodied reflexivity can support research teams to better notice when innovation projects committed to responsibility are perpetuating uneven power relations, and to be more proactive in designing ethical, equitable, and anti-colonial research cultures and technologies.…”

A Measurement Study of the Structured Overlay Network in P2P File-Sharing Systems by Mo Zhou, Yafei Dai, Xiaoming Li

“…The structured overlay network, also known as DHT, has been used in these applications to improve the scalability, and robustness of the system, and to make it free from single-point failure. We believe that the measurement study of the overlay network used in the real file-sharing P2P systems can provide guidance for the designing of such systems, and improve the performance of the system. …”

Tu infinita memoria: el largo camino de la militancia por la vida by Carla  Peñaloza Palma

“…Not all relatives took this tour, however, there were those and especially women, that assumed this task as a new form of participation. We believe that women, who had their own militant experience, reconverted that partisan experience, to join the struggle of human rights organizations - in many cases create the organisations - and deploy their experience in pursuit of this cause for which no one was prepared and could not imagine that he would occupy much of the rest of their lives. …”
