Historical evolution and current state of robotic liver surgery

We present a review of the historical evolution of software engineering, intertwining it with the history of knowledge engineering because “those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” This retrospective represents a further step forward to understanding the current state of both types of engineerings; history has also positive experiences; some of them we would like to remember and to repeat. Two types of engineerings had parallel and divergent evolutions but following a similar pattern. We also define a set of milestones that represent a convergence or divergence of the software development methodologies. These milestones do not appear at the same time in software engineering and knowledge engineering, so lessons learned in one discipline can help in the evolution of the other one.

Key Players

Over the past three decades, Sovereign Wealth Funds (SWF) have grown to become key players in the global investment landscape. At the top of this list is the Norwegian SWF, with a volume of assets under management surpassing 1 billion US$1, of which 70% is invested in more than 9,000 listed companies worldwide. This paper offers a global and descriptive vision of the evolution of the distribution of investment in shares, taking into account criteria such as the economic sector to which it belongs, the region where the investment is made or the number of companies that attract this investment. It is concluded that the fund has chosen to consolidate a highly diversified investment strategy both geographically and by industry.
