Memo to : Coneval Memo from : Sabina Alkire
We understand that the Committee may be contemplating a methodology for multidimensional poverty measurement based on the general approach we proposed in a recent paper (Alkire and Foster, 2007). While there is some broad agreement on the aggregation method – in particular, the adjusted headcount M0 is a natural pick since it satisfies dimensional monotonicity and can be decomposed across dimen...
متن کاملResearch for Telecenter Development : Obstacles and Opportunities
Conducting field research in the developing world is, under any circumstances, a complex affair, and the study of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in this context adds yet another series of special challenges. Nevertheless, telecenter research offers tremendous opportunity to understand the role of communication and information in development. More importantly, a participatory ...
متن کاملProviding Haptic ’Hints’ to Automatic Motion Planners
In this paper, we investigate various paradigms for enabling a human operator and an automatic motion planner to cooperatively solve a motion planning query. Our work is motivated by our experience that automatic motion planners sometimes fail due to the difficulty of discovering ‘critical’ configurations of the robot that are often naturally apparent to a human observer. In particular, we stud...
متن کاملMaking GIS Instruction Relevant to Planners
P lanning's " quiet revolution " in information technology (Godschalk and McMahon, 1992) may have finally come of age. Through the decade of the 1990s, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) has evolved from a technological novelty distinguished by its operational complexities into a much easier to use, less expensive, and now seemingly indispensible tool of the planning profession. GIS skills th...
متن کاملHow to Make Reactive Planners Risk-Sensitive*
Probabilistic planners can have various planning objectives: usually they either maximize the probability of goal achievement or minimize the expected execution cost of the plan. Researchers have largely ignored the problem how to incorporate risk-sensitive attitudes into their planning mechanisms. We discuss a risk-sensitive planning approach that is based on utility theory. Our key result is ...
