Patterns in scholarly publications online: Erdős and beyondJonathan Bowen
Developing and monitoring communities has become increasingly easy on the web as the number of interactive facilities and amount of data available about communities increases. It is possible to view connections and patterns on social and professional networks in the form of mathematical graphs. It is also possible to visualise connections between authors of academic papers. For example, Google Scholar, Microsoft Academic Search, and Academia.edu, etc., now have large corpuses of freely available information on publications, together with author and citation details, that can be accessed and presented in a number of ways. In mathematical circles, the concept of the Erdős number has been introduced in honour of the Hungarian mathematician Paul Erdős, measuring the "collaborative distance" of a person away from Erdős through links by co-author. Similar metrics have been proposed in other fields. The possibility of exploring and improving the presentation of such links online in computer science and other fields will be presented as a means of improving the outreach and impact of academic publications. Some practical guidance on what is worthwhile in presenting publication information online will be given.
Communities and Ancestors Associated with Egon Börger and ASMJonathan Bowen
In this presentation, I discuss the community associated with Abstract State Machines (ASM), especially in the context of a Community of Practice (CoP), a social science concept, considering the development of ASM by its community of researchers and practitioners over time. I also consider the long-term historical context of the advisor tree of Egon Börger, the main promulgator of the ASM approach, which can be
considered as multiple interrelated CoPs, distributed over several centuries. This includes notable mathematicians and philosophers among its number with some interesting links between the people involved. Despite most being active well before the inception of computer science, a number have been influential on the field.

A Bag of Words. Social Perspectives on Scholarly Editing - paper @ Social, Di...Edward Vanhoutte
The text has long been the nucleus of scholarly editing which, in their print or digital products, serves two goals: establishing the best possible text for transmission and making sure it reaches as many people as possible. This transmissional and communcative function of the scholarly edition is joined by a third one when digital and social editing is applied: engaging. Not the authoritative fixed text of the scholary edition, but the social proces of textual interaction by its participants becomes the centre of social digital editing. This social function challenges the activities of experimental modelling, and reshapes the edition in a multifunctional and multidisciplinary bag of words to be explored by students and scholars.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

The contents should:
A. include logically selected, manageable textual content -- e.g., an edition of
a single work, a group of works generically or chronologically grouped;
B. include, when appropriate, authorial documents in addition to basic
text(s), such as adaptations, working notes, contracts, tables of contents,
prefaces, abstracts;
C. present appropriate second-party textual materials -- e.g., letters from
respondents may be desirable in an edition of letters;
D. include the editorial materials required by the kind of edition envisaged --
e.g., [1] prefaces and acknowledgements; [2] lists of sigla, symbols, and
abbreviations; [3] textual essay; [4] textual apparatus (or the functional
equivalent, e.g., hypertext links) and/or notes; [5] historical/interpretive
essay(s); [6] illustrations or charts, diagrams, maps; [7] historical/explanatory
notes; [8] appendices; [9] bibliography; [10] glossary; [11] index(es);
E. be logically arranged and easy to use;
F. include appropriate analytical and text retrieval tools, either as part of the
edition itself or as part of the access package for which the edition is
designed (e.g., network browsers).
9. with the tools of social media at its centre, the social
edition is process-driven, privileging interpretative
changes based on the input of many readers; text is
fluid, agency is collective, and many readers/editors,
rather than single editor, shape what is important and,
thus, broaden the editorial lens as well as the breadth,
depth, and scope of any edition produced in this way.

27. Knowledge site
The space and shape I will try to describe is one where textual
archives serve as a base for scholarly editions which serve in
tandem with every other sort of literary scholarship to create
knowledge sites of current and developing scholarship that
can also serve as pedagogical tools in an environment where
each user can choose an entry way, select a congenial set of
enabling contextual materials, and emerge with a personalized
interactive form of the work (serving the place of the well-
marked and dog-eared book), always able to plug back in for
more information or different perspectives.

modernized and at a minimum price) as is consistent with
information that may be procurable through normal
