University of Pennsylvania computer scientists put social network theory to the test
Ever since 1969, when psychologists Jeffery Travers and Stanley Milgram first explained that everyone was separated by only six connections from anyone else, researchers have created theoretical models of the networks that societies create. view more (2006-08-11)
Parents stricter with older kids to set example: game theory study
Parents are more likely to punish their teen's risky behavior when there are younger kids in the family, driven by a desire to set a strict example for these siblings, says new game theory research from the University of Maryland, Duke University and The Johns Hopkins University. view more (2008-04-18)
First Personalised UMTS Services Tested
The first prototype of personalised UMTS Services was tested on the TU Delft campus. A number of congress visitors and a group of students were able to use UMTS and GPS to find their way to a lecture or restaurant, contact other visitors, get a tour of the campus, play a game together or watch a movie clip on internet. Both groups reacted... view more... (2004-01-15)

Listen out for bugs that sing
A Northumbria University lecturer has helped devise a scheme to use music to catch computer bugs. Dr Paul Vickers from Northumbria and Professor James Alty from Loughborough University's Department of Computer Science have come up with an idea that would see features of computer programming languages being given short, musical themes. All similar... view more... (2002-11-21)
Computer use at home and at school
The researchers interviewed 80 children aged seven to 11 years from five schools in the East Midlands.
