The text can comprise of words or numbers or an alphanumeric combination. SMS was created when it was incorporated into the Global System for Mobiles (GSM) digital mobile phone standard. The first short message is believed to have been sent in December 1992 from a Personal Computer (PC) to a mobile phone on the Vodafone GSM network in the UK. PREFACE- THE SUCCESS STORY OF SMS IN FINLAND In August 1998, the author of the “Data on SMS” book, Simon Buckingham, traveled to Finland and learned first hand about the success of mobile phones in general and SMS in particular in that market. Meetings were held with: · Nokia, a leading mobile phone designer and manufacturer, · Scandinavian Softline Technology, a supplier of SMS-based services platforms to half a dozen mobile network operators around the world, and · Sonera, formerly Telecom Finland, a mobile network operator whose 1.2 million customers send and receive

    DRAFT ArabTEX a System for Typesetting Arabic User Manual Version 4.00 12 Klaus Lagally May 25, 1999 1Report Nr. 1998/09, Universit¨at Stuttgart, Fakult¨at Informatik, Breitwiesenstraße 20–22, 70565 Stuttgart, Germany 2This Report supersedes Reports Nr. 1992/06 and 1993/11 Overview ArabTEX is a package extending the capabilities of TEX/LATEX to generate the Perso-Arabic writing from an ASCII transliteration for texts in several languages using the Arabic script. It consists of a TEX macro package and an Arabic font in several sizes, presently only available in the Naskhi style. ArabTEX will run with Plain TEXandalsowithLATEX2e. It is compatible with Babel, CJK, the EDMAC package, and PicTEX (with some restrictions); other additions to TEX have not been tried. ArabTEX is primarily intended for generating the Arabic writing, but the stan- dard scientific transliteration can also be easily produced. For languages other than Arabic that are customarily written in extensions of the Perso-Arabic script some limited support is available. ArabTEX defines its own input notation which is both machine, and human, readable, and suited for electronic transmission and E-Mail communication. However, texts in many of the Arabic standard encodings can also be processed. Starting with Version 3.02, ArabTEX also provides support for fully vowelized Hebrew, both in its private ASCII input notation and in several other popular encodings. ArabTEX is copyrighted, but free use for scientific, experimental and other strictly private, noncommercial purposes is granted. Offprints of scientific publi- cations using ArabTEX are welcome. Using ArabTEX otherwise requires a license agreement. There is no warranty of any kind, either expressed or implied.

Prof. Dr. Dodo zu Knyphausen-Aufseß 2. Prof. Dr. Peter Witt Prüfungstermin: 25.11.2004 to my parents __________________________________________________________________________________ ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I want to thank a number of individuals and organizations for their advice and support throughout this research project. First, I would like to thank my academic advisor Dodo zu Knyphausen-Aufseß who, throughout our joint two years, supported this work in two ways. As regards content, his counsel set the basic direction of my work and strongly influenced the selection of a suitable research methodology; he shaped the overall ‘storyline’ of this research study with his challenging questions. His interest and openness allowed me to develop my own approaches and find “my way”. As regards the academic environment, Dodo zu Knyphausen-Aufseß’s enthusiasm and dedication was a cornerstone in initiating Exist-HighTEPP, an entrepreneurial research program in Bamberg, Germany. Exist-HighTEPP provided an excellent research environment here in Germany and funds for a visiting scholarship at the Wharton School. In the US, I would like to thank Claus Rerup of the Wharton School for teaching me the necessary academic humility and ambition, and Simone Ferriani from the University of Bologna for the discussions concerning network and resource dependency theory and his thoughts on co-evolution of alliances and organizations. My understanding of strategic management and entrepreneurship has also greatly benefited from the insights I gained through many discussions at Wharton with Sidney Winter, Ian MacMillan, and Lori Rosenkopf.

    The Arabi system | ] ¨r` [ A\ TEX writes in Arabic and Farsi Youssef Jabri Ecole´ Nationale des Sciences Appliqu´ees, Oujda, Morocco yjabri (at) ensa dot univ-oujda dot ac dot ma Abstract In this paper, we will present a newly arrived package on CTAN that provides Arabic script support for TEX without the need for an external pre-processor. The Arabi package adds one of the last major multilingual typesetting capabilities to Babel by adding support for the Arabic ¨r and Farsi ¨FCA languages. Other languages using the Arabic script should also be more or less easily imple- mentable. Arabi comes with many good quality free fonts, Arabic and Farsi, and may also use commercial fonts. It supports many 8-bit input encodings (namely, CP-1256, ISO-8859-6 and Unicode UTF-8) and can typeset classical Arabic poetry. The package is distributed under the LATEX Project Public License (LPPL), and has the LPPL maintenance status \author-maintained". It can be used freely (including commercially) to produce beautiful texts that mix Arabic, Farsi and Latin (or other) characters.

The name was assigned by the French epigraphist Jean­Vincent Scheil in the early 20th century, who believed it to be the predecessor of a ‘proper’ Elamite script, which would have been used for recording the Elamite language, simply on account of the location of the tablets at Susa, which was the capital city of Elam. While no ‘proper’ descendent of the script has been identified, scholars continue to use the name ‘Proto­Elamite’ as a matter of convention (Dahl 2012: 2). Proto­Elamite is believed to have been developed from an accounting system used in Mesopotamia, in a manner similar to the development of ‘Proto­Cuneiform’.
