the reading we take of our own competence is arguably as important in many realworld contexts as is our actual competence. For example, in settings where on-the-job learning can be disastrous from a personal or societal standpoint, such as air traffic control, police or military actions, and nuclear plant operation, it can be imperative that we possess the skills and knowledge we think we posse...

With my research, I want to simplify the development of complex systems through the use of programming language technologies. Most of my work has focused on distributed stream processing [2, 3, 6, 7, 8], but I have also explored distributed storage systems [1], and security in peer-to-peer content distribution networks [4]. My methodology is to start by developing a formal model, and then to us...

HE Co-operative Movement was in its early days described by William Hazlitt as “a slip of Owenism grafted upon a stock of common sense”. This metaphor is not merely more apt, but also more accurate, than to call Owen the “father” of Co-operation.
