“We will spare no effort to free our fellow men, women and children from the abject and dehumanizing conditions of extreme poverty, to which more of a billion of them are currently subjected. We are committed to making the right to development a reality for everyone and to freeing the entire human race from wantÆ We resolve therefore to create an environment- at the national and global levels alike –which is conducive to development and to the elimination of poverty. We are determined to establish a just and lasting peace all over the world in accordance with the purposes and principles of the Charter We request the General Assembly to review on a regular basis the progress made in implementing the provision of this Declaration, and ask the Secretary General to issue periodic Reports for consideration by the General Assembly and as a basis for further action”.

Recession in the US now appears to be bottoming out, but speed and strength of recovery is uncertain Even though recession will eventually end, several daunting challenges remain, particularly for the poorest countries and vulnerable social groups Domestic policy is critical, but generating a sustained recovery requires new forms of multilateral collaboration Source: World Bank, Global Economic Prospects, 2009 Crash of Lehman in September...precipitated financial panic that swept through global markets MSCI equity price indexes, January 2005=100 Emerging markets So… • 30 % of household wealth wiped out • $4 trillion of equity worldwide • Pension funds obliterated • Unprecidented contraction in consumption USA Euro Area Sept-2008 Contracting consumption in rich countries transmits recession to poor countries – as world trade collapses Percentage change Annual growth of global trade volumes Source: World Bank, Global Economic Prospects, 2009…and and diminished capital flows have deepened recession in the developing world Net private capital flows / GDP in developing countries

To support the sharing and reuse of formally represented knowledge among AI systems, it is useful to define the common vocabulary in which shared knowledge is represented. A specification of a representational vocabulary for a shared domain of discourse — definitions of classes, relations

in arti#cial intelligence and psychology, dating back to the spreading activation approach of Quillian #1968# and Collins and Loftus #1975#. Semantic similarity represents a special case of semantic relatedness: for example, cars and gasoline would seem to be more closely related than, say, cars

programs by including classical negation, in addition to negation-as-failure. The semantics of such extended programs is based on the method of stable models. The concept of a disjunctive database can be extended in a similar way. We show that some facts of commonsense knowledge can be represented by logic

Data flow is a natural paradigm for describing DSP applications for concurrent implementation on parallel hardware. Data flow programs for signal processing are directed graphs where each node represents a function and each arc represents a signal path. Synchronous data flow (SDF) is a special case

In this paper we present an intermediate program representation, called the program dependence graph (PDG), that makes explicit both the data and control dependence5 for each operation in a program. Data dependences have been used to represent only the relevant data flow relationships of a program

We present nesC, a programming language for networked embedded systems that represent a new design space for application developers. An example of a networked embedded system is a sensor network, which consists of (potentially) thousands of tiny, lowpower “motes, ” each of which execute concurrent
