This document discusses the emergence of engineering as a profession and contrasts the engineering model with an alternative approach called bricolage. The engineering model emphasizes reductionism, specialization, and the separation of creation and use. In contrast, bricolage is characterized by making use of whatever resources are at hand, an emphasis on relationships and interconnected systems over isolated parts, and blending creation and use. The document suggests that while both approaches have merits, a mixed approach integrating aspects of engineering and bricolage may be most effective.

Role of sme’s in the socio-economic stability of KPK & FATAWaqar Noor
This document discusses the role of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the socioeconomic stability of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and FATA regions of Pakistan. It finds that SMEs make substantial contributions to GDP, employment, taxes, and standards of living. However, SMEs in these regions struggle with lack of access to financing, high interest rates, and other barriers. The document recommends solutions like Islamic financing models, collateral-free leasing, entrepreneurship training, and capacity building to strengthen SME development.
Pakistan has emerged as the second rapidly growing economy in Asia after China. Even though the large scale manufacturing registered 15.4% growth but small and medium enterprises (SMEs) is the core issue in the country’s progress and especially for the prosperity of masses that are surviving with low scale income due to which Pakistan ranks 135th out of 174 countries oh Human Development Index. The assessment of the role of SMEs in Pakistan is of vital importance.SME produces the income stream for masses located in the countryside and the capitalists associated with this activity that is generally medium or small as the name suggests. SMEs will be the main source of poverty reduction in Pakistan that will create the value and innovation for the country in the days to come. The thing that really needs serious attention is to remove the unnecessary bureaucratic procedures.

bChannels buying behaviour of micro businessesbChannels
Nine out of ten small businesses in Europe have fewer than ten employees (micro businesses). Micro businesses represent over 90% of all businesses and employ around 30% of the workforce. They generate approximately 20% of economic value. While many micro business owners want to remain small, trends show they are well-structured to withstand economic downturns and adopt new technologies like social media and online tools. Micro businesses tend to choose technology based on price and recommendations from colleagues over marketing. They will increasingly buy services and use business-oriented vendors and resellers as they grow beyond sole proprietorships.

It concludes that while certain theories are present, COBIT may have benefited from a clearer theoretical starting point in its development.
This document summarizes challenges with IT projects and proposes new paradigms for managing them more effectively. It notes that 30-40% of IT projects run over budget, over schedule, or fail to meet specifications. Common types of system failures include failing to capture business requirements or provide organizational benefits. The document then discusses traditional project management approaches and their limitations. It proposes new paradigms like real options pricing models, prioritizing high reliability through collective mindfulness, and considering the sociomateriality of information systems. Overall, it argues for a more critical perspective on projects that focuses on values, ethics, meaning, and trust in addition to traditional efficiency and control measures.
The document presents a perspective on IT governance in small and medium enterprises (SMEs). It discusses how existing IT governance principles are better suited for large organizations rather than SMEs due to SMEs having less separation between ownership and control, and being more influenced by the CEO's personal beliefs. New findings from research on IT governance in SMEs in 22 countries show that while IT is important for innovation, benefits are hard to measure and strategic thinking on IT follows a bottom-up rather than top-down approach. The conclusions suggest existing IT governance models may be too mechanistic and formal for SMEs, and that an approach focusing more on people would be better suited.
The document summarizes Dr. Jan Devos' presentation on using bricolage to facilitate emergent collectives in small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs). It discusses emergent collectives and bricolage, presents Devos' research question on how bricolage can help adopt emergent collectives, and outlines the action research methodology used in a case study of a drop shipping company.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
