title: Bridging language barriers in statistics for Year-12 Pasifika students: A collaborative study

authors: Sharma, Sashi

abstract: This paper focuses on the use of home languages as a resource for Pasifika students who are learning about statistical methods. It is acknowledged that there are connections between language use and mathematics in mathematics learning and teaching, and the potential challenges this issue can pose have been investigated by researchers. Yet how the challenges of the use of home language versus teaching language might be overcome in statistics classrooms, where language is even more important as a medium of instruction, has received very little scrutiny. This article reports on research carried out in three New Zealand largely Pasifika dominated Year-12 classes. Data was collected from audio recordings of student group discussions and teacher reflections while students were carrying out an investigation of existing datasets. Findings from the teacher reflection aspect of the study indicate that teachers can struggle with how to use home language and real-life contexts to maximise learning in their classroom. Some strategies to incorporate students home language in their learning worked better than others. However, more in-depth research is needed to explore language issues and the barriers they might present in statistics education.

title: Classification and analysis of distributed event filtering algorithms

authors: Bittner, Sven

subjects: computer science

abstract: Publish/subscribe middleware provides efficient support for loosely coupled communication in distributed systems. A number of different distributed message-filtering algorithms have been proposed. So far, a systematic comparison and analysis of these filter algorithms is still missing. 
This paper proposes a classification scheme for distributed filter algorithms that supports the theoretical and practical analysis of these algorithms. We present a first cut theoretical evaluation and a subsequent practical evaluation of promising candidate algorithms. Factors that are considered include the characteristics of the underlying network and application-related constraints.
Based on the findings of these evaluations, we conclude with a summary of the strengths and weaknesses of the algorithms that we have studied.
