Onalytica Blog Subscribe Entries (RSS) Comments (RSS) Measuring Communication in a Virtual World 16th May 2007 by Ryan Williams Social measurement is based around being able to codify behaviors, opinions and descriptors of our reality. Our new social media is presenting a great deal of challenges to the codifying of relevant information. The variety of sources and our ability to define the relevant from irrelevant is subjective and best. My advice would be to remember that all measurement has flaws and our goal is to gather the best evidence available given our resources and the nature of the decisions we need to make. Frank Ovaitt President and CEO Institute for Public Relations reminded us where to start, “Like any communications effort, you need to start with clear objectives to have something to measure.” Recently Katie Paine wrote a paper that reminds us of the fundamentals of communication research and applies this wisdom to social media. Some of the highlights that I thought were of particular value to our communication strategies and measurement plans:

Measurement Even after you've completed your GCSEs, you will need to measure things ! The metric system is internationally recognised, and very simple in use. The sizes of distances and objects are measured in metres, multiples of metres (e.g. km), and fractions of metres (e.g. cm). 1,000 m = 1 km 1 m = 100 cm The k and c letters are prefixes . The k stands for kilo - meaning 1,000 - so a km is a kilometre or 1,000 m. The c stands for centi Maths Menu Go to next page

53. Internet Measurement Conference (IMC) The Internet measurement Conference is an annual conference focusing on Internet measurement and analysis, sponsored by ACM SIGCOMM in cooperation with http://www.imconf.net/

Internet Measurement Conference (IMC) Mission The Internet Measurement Conference is an annual conference focusing on Internet measurement and analysis, sponsored by ACM SIGCOMM in cooperation with USENIX . The aim is that papers presented at the conference contribute to the current understanding of how to collect or analyze Internet measurements, or give insight into how the Internet behaves. IMC was begun as a workshop in 2001 in response to the difficulty at that time finding appropriate publication/presentation venues for high-quality Internet measurement research in general, and frustration with the annual ACM SIGCOMM conference's treatment of measurement submissions in particular. The conference is generally held in late October or early November. In its first two years as a Workshop, attendance was limited, but now as a conference it is open to all interested in attending. Papers are submitted in May with notifications in July and camera-ready papers due in August. The acceptance rate to date has been around 25%. IMC is usually open to both full-length papers and extended abstracts, with the latter being significantly shorter and intended to convey work-in progress and less mature results. Each year, a Best Paper is awarded for the best paper with a student as primary author, and several papers are selected for "fast-track" submission to IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking. In addition, IMC is committed to offering a number of student travel grants to foster the participation of students.

54. NLANR AMP Home page of the Active measurement Project, NLANR AMP. The Active measurement Project (AMP) has a joint research/engineering focus with siteto-site http://amp.nlanr.net/

UPDATE: AMP data collection ceased early September 2006,except for measurements between 16 nodes as part of a demonstration for the PRAGMA project. We expect this measurement to end mid-October 2006. The AMP data collected in approximately the last 3 months of operation of the AMP mesh will be available from this web server ( http://amp.nlanr.net/ ) for the forseeable future. Starting July 2006, CAIDA , a well established networking research organization based at SDSC , took over operational stewardship for all NLANR machines and data. The National Laboratory for Applied Network Research (NLANR) Project has officially ended. The funding for the NLANR project expired June 30, 2006 and the National Science Foundation has no plans to continue support. SDSC believes that a lot of the NLANR data and resources may still offer value to the network research and development community, and might help support other forms of research not envisioned in the original NLANR proposal. Since some of the equipment is too old to maintain, CAIDA will do a careful audit, gracefully decommission obsolete hardware and data, and attempt to apply the remaining resources to projects of similar intent and spirit. As we perform this audit in the next few weeks, we will keep the community informed of any changes planned to operations of the machines at the sites. Hosting sites will have the prerogative at any time to decline participation in the reincarnation of any NLANR equipment at their site, but we hope sites will find our proposed use of sufficient relevance and merit to continue hosting a measurement platform.

55. Measurement Of Angles There are two commonly used units of measurement for angles. The more familiar unit of measurement is that of degrees. A circle is divided into 360 equal http://www.clarku.edu/~djoyce/trig/angle.html

Angle measurement The concept of angle The concept of angle is one of the most important concepts in geometry. The concepts of equality, sums, and differences of angles are important and used throughout geometry, but the subject of trigonometry is based on the measurement of angles. minutes. seconds, Usually when a single angle is drawn on a xy -plane for analysis, we'll draw it with the vertex at the origin (0,0), one side of the angle along the x -axis, and the other side above the x -axis. The other common measurement for angles is radians. For this measurement, consider the unit circle (a circle of radius 1) whose center is the vertex of the angle in question. Then the angle cuts off an arc of the circle, and the length of that arc is the radian measure of the angle. It is easy to convert between degree measurement and radian measurement. The circumference of the entire circle is 2 radians. Hence, /180 radians , and 1 radian equals 180/ degrees Most calculators can be set to use angles measured with either degrees or radians. Be sure you know what mode your calculator is using. Short note on the history of radians Although the word "radian" was coined by Thomas Muir and/or James Thompson about 1870, mathematicians had been measuring angles that way for a long time. For instance, Leonhard Euler (1707-1783) in his

Math Contests School League Competitions Contest Problem Books Challenging, fun math practice Educational Software Comprehensive Learning Tools Visit the Math League Length The standard unit of length in the metric system is the meter. Other units of length and their equivalents in meters are as follows: 1 millimeter = 0.001 meter 1 centimeter = 0.01 meter 1 decimeter = 0.1 meter 1 kilometer = 1000 meters We abbreviate these lengths as follows: 1 millimeter = 1 mm 1 centimeter = 1 cm 1 meter = 1 m 1 decimeter = 1 dm 1 kilometer = 1 km For reference, 1 meter is a little longer than 1 yard or 3 feet. It is about half the height of a very tall adult. A centimeter is nearly the diameter of a dime, a little less than half an inch. A millimeter is about the thickness of a dime. Volume The standard unit of volume in the metric system is the liter. One liter is equal to 1000 cubic centimeters in volume. Other units of volume and their equivalents in liters are as follows: 1 milliliter = 0.001 liter
