The IMS technology is a framework architecture for delivering IP multimedia services, which allows voice and multimedia applications to communicate from multi-access scenarios (Wireless, PacketCable, DSL, etc.), thus allowing the convergence of fixed and mobile networks. The authors carry out an investigation into the current state of the art of this technology, focusing on its architecture, operating principles, and especially on the current state of development in Argentina. They make a forecast of what will happen in the next three years and their vision of what today are the best practices for its implementation.


This chapter presents the state of the art in research on the practice of information technology (IT) governance. The authors have chosen to present this state of the art by means of a frame of reference inspired by the four “worlds” framework that was initially introduced to characterize IT engineering problems. This framework, complemented by facets, provides a structure for characterizing governance approaches that facilitate their comparison. Each facet corresponds to an essential characteristic of IS governance. A facet is associated with a set of values that allow a finer comparison of approaches with each other. This chapter will provide a comprehensive understanding of the current state of IT governance standards and best practices.

RESUMO: Este breve texto pretende refletir sobre o atual estado da arte no que concerne a efetiva promo��o e prote��o dos direitos humanos dos direitos fundamentais, com destaque para os direitos sociais, no contexto das boas pr�ticas da Responsabilidade Social, bem como sobre o desafio posto pela efic�cia de tais direitos na esfera das rela��es entre particulares. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Direitos Humanos. Direitos Fundamentais Sociais. Efic�cia nas rela��es privadas. Responsabilidade Social. ISO 26000 ABSTRACT: This brief paper intends to think about the current state of the art regarding the active promotion and protection of human rights and fundamental rights, focusing the case of social rights, in the context of best practices of social responsibility, as well as the challenge posed by the efficacy of such rights in the domain of the relations among private actors.

This article presents a proposal for a guide to best practices to support Information Technology [IT] areas in the planning and implementation of the transition of their infrastructure and technology services to IPv6 protocol. For this purpose an analysis of references was done to identify the problem, comprehend the state of the art; the current state of advance in the migration to IPv6 and its implementation worldwide; the state of the art of technology in the regions where it is a key factor and the process that these regions have developed to explore and implement the transition from IPv4 to IPv6, and as an analysis of the manner in which their governments assumed this transition; the identification of how the processes of the model of best practices for IT, ITIL v.3 can support the transition; and the existing mechanisms of technological transition from IPv4 to IPv6 according to two scenarios: with and without IPv4 and IPv6 coexisting.

This paper is an introduction to behavioral genetics for researchers and practioners in language development and disorders. The specific aims are to illustrate some essential concepts and to show how behavioral genetic research can be applied to the language sciences. Past genetic research on language-related traits has tended to focus on simple etiology (i.e., the heritability or familiality of language skills). The current state of the art, however, suggests that great promise lies in addressing more complex questions through behavioral genetic paradigms. In terms of future goals it is suggested that: (a) more behavioral genetic work of all types should be done—including replications and expansions of preliminary studies already in print; (b) work should focus on fine-grained, theory-based phenotypes with research designs that can address complex questions in language development; and (c) work in this area should utilize a variety of samples and methods (e.g., twin and family samples, heritability and segregation analyses, linkage and association tests, etc.).

The article discusses the current state of professional training of engineers, in particular, electronics engineers in Ukrainian higher education institutions (HEIs) and explores best practices from US HEIs. The research outlines the features of professional training of electronics engineers and recent changes in Ukrainian HEIs. Such challenges for Ukrainian HEIs as lack of collaboration between higher education and science with industry, R&D cost reduction for HEIs, and downsizing the research and academic staff, the disparity between the available quality of human capital training and the demanded are addressed. The study attempts to identify successful practices of US HEIs professional training of engineers in order to suggest potential improvements in education, research, and innovation for training electronics engineers in Ukraine.

We survey the mathematical literature on umbral calculus (otherwise known as the calculus of finite differences) from its roots in the 19th century (and earlier) as a set of “magic rules” for lowering and raising indices, through its rebirth in the 1970’s as Rota’s school set it on a firm logical foundation using operator methods, to the current state of the art with numerous generalizations and applications. The survey itself is complemented by a fairly complete bibliography (over 500 references) which we expect to update regularly.
