Data collected through interviews indicate that international students' struggles with digital text are much more complex than the average student because they have …

How To Organize Conferences: Systems Approach, Olga Kosheleva, Vladik Kreinovich

Departmental Technical Reports (CS)

Research conferences are often organized by volunteers, namely, by people who are specialists in research but not in conference organization. As a result, some conferences are very successful, while some are not very successful. It is therefore desirable to provide newbie conference organizers with helpful recommendations.
