In this presentation at Launch Kids, Jonathan Nowell of Nielsen Book will examine the data his company has developed about the habits and preferences of younger readers and children's book buyers. He will offer insight about the consumption habits of younger readers with some thoughtful speculation about how children's book buying is changing over time (across formats and channels) and why young people today continue to remain attached to the printed book.

At Digital Book World 2016, as part of the Launch Kids pre-conference day, I spoke about what we've seen in children's publishing in the last 5 years and where we could be headed. The evolution of digital, content as a driver, and the development of Put Me In The Story, which is adding significant revenue to author and book brands.
Nielsen regularly tracks the children’s book consumer market through its BookScan data and on-going consumer surveys. In this presentation, they’ll look at trends in book buying behaviors among parents and kids – and help publishers understand what that means for the future of both print and digital children’s book sales.
How ebooks Have Changed the Print Book Marketplace
Jonathan Nowell heads Nielsen Book. Their Bookscan service tracks sales of books and ebooks in the US, the UK, and other markets around the world.
In this presentation, Nowell will look back over a decade or more of Nielsen book sales data to tell us how the print world has changed. It is accepted fact now that ebooks work commercially for narrative books, but not so well for reference and illustrated books. What that means by category is the focus of Nowell's presentation. He will tell us both how the proportion of print and ebook sales break down in various categories, but also will show how the share of printed books has changed across categories as ebooks have taken hold in the marketplace. The data from Nowell will indicate to us what bookstores might look like in the future as the mainstay sales of bestselling authors move increasingly to digital.

Moderator: Kristen McLean, Founder & CEO, Bookigee, Inc. & Project Editor – Bowker® Market Research’s UNDERSTANDING THE CHILDREN’S BOOK”S CONSUMER IN THE DIGITAL AGE
Speakers: Carl Kulo, US Director, Bowker Market Research
Join the children’s experts at Bowker® Market Research as they examine the freshest (Q1-2013) & most up-to-date findings of the Bowker longitudinal “Understanding the Children’s Book Consumer in the Digital Age” study. From shifts in parental attitudes on pricing, to new insights into when and how kids are reading, which key drivers remain stable, what devices are winning out, and how apps and other screen media are interacting with traditional book content for everyone from toddlers to teens. Attendees of this session will emerge with important and actionable insights they can apply to their own businesses and the road ahead. There is no better compass for understanding the evolution of the book market than the children’s category. Device adoption, reading habits, drivers of influence, and key sources of discovery being adopted by today’s children’s book consumers will have profound implications for the entire industry as today’s readers become the customers of tomorrow.

The growth of digital devices, digital reading, and online purchasing is opening up new opportunities for publishers around the world, and this is particularly true in the classroom environment. Shane Armstrong, Executive Vice President of Scholastic Corporation and President of International Growth Markets, will present an overview of Scholastic’s big plans for global educational publishing, especially in the core areas of math and reading. He’ll talk about new opportunities with assessment, how ancillary products support Scholastic’s goals, and how trade pubs can take advantage of an increasingly global (and increasingly digital) education market.
These publishers share details about their newly launched products, partnerships, imprints and ventures. Both relatively new and long established children’s publishers will discuss how they’ve built their companies and retooled their strategies for a more digital future.
Publishers are following their customers into mobile as handheld devices take over, developing new strategies to extend print and digital products into the mobile space. This panel will review the latest data about mobile usage among kids and will discuss the impact of mobile on how children’s book consumers find, buy, and interact with books and book-related content.

How should publishers approach new business partnerships in these markets?
Data-Driven Publishing: Using Big Data and smart analysis to make better decisions across the business -- Presented by Ken Brooks, Senior Vice President, Global Supply Chain Management, McGraw-Hill
At Publishers Launch Frankfurt, Frankfurt Book Fair, 8 October 2013
With more data from more internal and external sources available to publishers than ever before, and with ever-more powerful tools and service providers to crunch them, it is incumbent on C-level executives to build Big Data capabilities into their organizations. The possibilities, and the imperatives, will be the topic for Ken Brooks, who has held senior management positions at Bantam Doubleday Dell, Simon & Schuster, Barnes & Noble, and Cengage, and is both a master of data and experienced with all kinds of publishing.
Although there are service providers to do Big Data crunching, and any publisher might use them for some challenges, Brooks believes that learning to use available tools routinely will become a necessary skill set in most publishing houses. He says the key is to become more “data-driven” in analysis and decision-making, because data-driven decisions are possible in more ways than ever before and because publishing is particularly amenable to improvement through the skilled use of data.
Brooks also points out that routine Big Data analysis will become increasingly accurate and beneficial over time. He believes it is an emerging competitive tool of great importance and that the companies that get it soonest will gain great advantage. In this presentation, he will give publishers ideas about how to use Big Data across their enterprise: marketing, editorial, operations, and finance.
Hachette Book Group has rebuilt their own digital infrastructure in the past several years to leverage the advantages of scale — scale which they believe can be achieved through efficiency as well as through size. Under the leadership of Ken Michaels, President and COO of Hachette and Chair of the Book Industry Study Group, the company is focused on better providing value to authors by investing in services, capabilities, and agility, rather than relying strictly on volume and size.
Benedict Evans of Enders Analysis in London tracks the big companies that manage so much of the environment and ecosystem in which publishers operate. In this presentation, he will review the strategies of Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google, and Microsoft, with a special focus on the aspects of their activities that affect book publishers. Then Evans will talk about how publishers can best take advantage of the opportunities these companies make available while avoiding the pitfalls of dancing with partners who dwarf the publishing industry—let alone any single player—in size.
In several short years, F+W Media has built its thriving ecommerce business to revenues in the tens of millions. Economies of scale have made this possible. David Nussbaum, Chairman & CEO will share how applying a single strategy to its direct-to-consumer ecommerce business has benefitted even the Company’s narrowest communities through increased efficiencies and shared resources. By focusing on creating best practices to serve its largest six communities and by deploying a centralized service model, two dozen of its smaller sub-communities have achieved greater reach and growing revenues. Hear from Nussbaum and learn how economies of scale make ecommerce success possible for publishing companies of any size.
Linda Leonard and Sonia Nash Gupta will present about teen list destination RandomBuzzers.com. They will talk about the importance of creating content that engages readers and draws in new members as well as how they are evolving and amplifying members' interests while promoting RH titles and authors.
Important changes to copyright law are being made by governments and in courtrooms around the world changes that can have a direct impact on the business of publishing and the ways in which content is licensed and used outside the country whose legislature or court took action. Michael Healy, formerly the head of the Book Industry Study and Group and the Book Rights Registry, is now Executive Director at Copyright Clearance Center, the leading global provider of content and licensing solutions.
In this talk, Healy reviews recent copyright developments around the world and some that are pending and explain how business-critical their implications are for publishers and users everywhere.
Rebecca Smart is the CEO of Osprey Group, which began as a military specialist publisher but is rapidly expanding into other verticals. When they bought the fledgling sci-fi imprint Angry Robot from HarperCollins, Smart remarked at the time that military buffs love science fiction. They also own two businesses publishing for the UK heritage market, Shire and Old House. Recently they acquired the UK publisher Duncan Baird, which owns a substantial and long-standing religion imprint called Watkins as well as a list with many mind body spirit books and titles in food and health. That gives Osprey at least two more vertical areas to work in and a start on some others. In this presentation, Smart describes Osprey's vertical strategy and discusses how what Osprey has learned and developed for its original market of military buffs benefits them in other areas far afield from where they started.
Yuvi Kochar, the CTO of the Washington Post holding company, is delivering diverse ERP and SaaS solutions as a streamlined and well-defined set of technology services. The Shared IT Services team is providing services to the different businesses the Washington Post newspaper and Kaplan education, among others, that his holding company owns. He will discuss the service model, organization structure and the technology architecture the Post has developed to ensure success of this new IT services delivery model. His team has to vet the solutions, enable their distribution, and do all that being mindful of how things will look (and work) a level removed from the solution provider.
Handling permissions is one of the most labor-intensive and low-revenue tasks in any publishing house. But new cloud services provide automation and efficiency to make small licensing transactions less onerous and more remunerative. Alfredo Santana, Associate Director of Global Rights Operations at John Wiley & Sons will share how Copyright Clearance Centers RightsLink service has freed up staff time, improved workflow, and increased permissions revenue for the publisher.
Book retailing is in a dynamic period where sales are moving from brick stores to online channels. That's partly driven by the switch of immersive reading to digital; it's also driven by the reduction of shelf space. There is anecdotal evidence suggesting that stores are shifting their attention to books that need to be seen and touched to be purchased: adult illustrated books and children's books. And those books are the very books that have not benefited proportionately from the growth of digital book consumption. In this presentation, Ingram Book Company will share data about recent shifts in online and print sales and insight into how retail outlets are shifting their stock and trade.

Data Centers - Striving Within A Narrow Range - Research Report - MCG - May 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) expects to see demand and the changing evolution of supply, facilitated through institutional investment rotation out of offices and into work from home (“WFH”), while the ever-expanding need for data storage as global internet usage expands, with experts predicting 5.3 billion users by 2023. These market factors will be underpinned by technological changes, such as progressing cloud services and edge sites, allowing the industry to see strong expected annual growth of 13% over the next 4 years.
Whilst competitive headwinds remain, represented through the recent second bankruptcy filing of Sungard, which blames “COVID-19 and other macroeconomic trends including delayed customer spending decisions, insourcing and reductions in IT spending, energy inflation and reduction in demand for certain services”, the industry has seen key adjustments, where MCG believes that engineering cost management and technological innovation will be paramount to success.
MCG reports that the more favorable market conditions expected over the next few years, helped by the winding down of pandemic restrictions and a hybrid working environment will be driving market momentum forward. The continuous injection of capital by alternative investment firms, as well as the growing infrastructural investment from cloud service providers and social media companies, whose revenues are expected to grow over 3.6x larger by value in 2026, will likely help propel center provision and innovation. These factors paint a promising picture for the industry players that offset rising input costs and adapt to new technologies.
According to M Capital Group: “Specifically, the long-term cost-saving opportunities available from the rise of remote managing will likely aid value growth for the industry. Through margin optimization and further availability of capital for reinvestment, strong players will maintain their competitive foothold, while weaker players exit the market to balance supply and demand.”
Levelwise PageRank with Loop-Based Dead End Handling Strategy : SHORT REPORT ...Subhajit Sahu
Abstract — Levelwise PageRank is an alternative method of PageRank computation which decomposes the input graph into a directed acyclic block-graph of strongly connected components, and processes them in topological order, one level at a time. This enables calculation for ranks in a distributed fashion without per-iteration communication, unlike the standard method where all vertices are processed in each iteration. It however comes with a precondition of the absence of dead ends in the input graph. Here, the native non-distributed performance of Levelwise PageRank was compared against Monolithic PageRank on a CPU as well as a GPU. To ensure a fair comparison, Monolithic PageRank was also performed on a graph where vertices were split by components. Results indicate that Levelwise PageRank is about as fast as Monolithic PageRank on the CPU, but quite a bit slower on the GPU. Slowdown on the GPU is likely caused by a large submission of small workloads, and expected to be non-issue when the computation is performed on massive graphs.
