Programming in Haskell by Graham Hutton, Cambridge University Press, 2007, 184 pp., ISBN 0-521-69269-5

The proposed solution runs entirely against the orthodoxy that compositionality is necessary for modularity, but it is persausive. Much to their credit, the authors have robustly defended this view and others in several online forums, and have shown they are prepared to accept and develop viewpoints distinct from their own. In closing, I must ask the inevitable rhetorical questions: would CTM h...

0 Statistical Physics of Traffic Flow 1

The modelling of traffic flow using methods and models from physics has a long history. In recent years especially cellular automata models have allowed for large-scale simulations of large traffic networks faster than real time. On the other hand, these systems are interesting for physicists since they allow to observe genuine nonequilibrium effects. Here the current status of cellular automat...

Ours seems to be the age of decentralized organization. There was a time when hierarchies were dominant structures and everything, from social structures to transfer of information, had to obey their strong constraints. The explosive and widespread use of the Internet and the world wide web, has taught us that it may be worthy to change this paradigm towards a more democratic one where informat...
