Dropping out: Is college worth the cost?

(CBS News) One of the wealthiest, best-educated American entrepreneurs, Peter Thiel, isn't convinced college is worth the cost. With only half of recent U.S. college graduates in full-time jobs, and student loans now at $1 trillion, Thiel has come up with his own small-scale solution: pay a couple dozen of the nation's most promising students $100,000 to walk away from college and pursue their passions.
http://www.casos.cs.cmu.edu/ CASOS brings together computer science, dynamic network analysis and the empirical study of complex socio-technical systems. Computational and social network techniques are combined to develop a better understanding of the fundamental principles of organizing, coordinating, managing and destabilizing systems of intelligent adaptive agents (human and artificial) engaged in real tasks at the team, organizational or social level. Whether the research involves the development of metrics, theories, computer simulations, toolkits, or new data analysis techniques advances in computer science are combined with a deep understanding of the underlying cognitive, social, political, business and policy issues. CASOS is a university wide center drawing on a group of world class faculty , students and research and administrative staff in multiple departments at Carnegie Mellon .

http://www.lpss.unict.it// Il Laboratorio di Progettazione Sperimentazione ed Analisi di Politiche Pubbliche e Servizi alle Persone (Laposs) è un Centro di ricerca dell’Università di Catania istituito nel 2002 presso la sede di Scienze Politiche in via Card. Dusmet 163. Nasce dalle attività e dalle esperienze che la Facoltà aveva realizzato nel triennio precedente, nella prospettiva tracciata dalla riforma universitaria, nell’ambito di un Progetto URBAN, di un Progetto EQUAL e di un Progetto CampusOne. L’idea guida è stata creare un luogo interistituzionale per la progettazione, la sperimentazione e la valutazione di politiche pubbliche, di azioni istituzionali e di servizi alle persone.

The news consumption style has changed dramatically with the proliferation of modern always-connected computing devices, such as smart phones, tablets, portable computers, and smart TVs. Compared to the old, somewhat romantic, view of the morning paper sitting on the breakfast table, readers today want to cherry-pick their news many times a day on various devices. Digital footprints are left behind any such access on very detailed digital logs. Such data logs provide a rich repository for socially relevant analysis and optimization algorithms.
C'est avec une grande tristesse et une profonde émotion que nous avons appris la disparition de Marc Barbut dans la nuit du 11 au 12 décembre 2011. Avec lui s'éteint une figure historique qui a marqué le CAMS depuis sa création. Le CAMS rendra hommage à sa mémoire par un numéro spécial de la revue Mathématiques et Sciences humaines, en commun avec le Journal Electronique d'Histoire des Probabilités et de la Statistique, l'organisation en 2012 d'une journée scientifique, et par une page web spécifique. Le CAMS participe à la recherche mathématique internationale dans les domaines de compétence où il a acquis une notoriété à savoir la combinatoire et son algorithmique, la théorie des ordres partiels, les graphes, les représentations spatiales, et les systèmes dynamiques.
