The Swedish Board for Computing Machinery , Matematikmaskinn mnden MMN , was a Swedish government agency which built Sweden s first computer s, BARK and BESK . A governmental study into the need for computing machinery in Sweden had been conducted in 1947 by initiative of the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences and the Naval Procurement Agency. The study recommended the immediate purchase of computing machinery from the United States and a budget of 2 million Swedish krona SEK was allocated for the purpose. The Swedish Board for Computing Machinery was established on November 26, 1948, to handle the purchase. ref http ithistoria.se taxonomy term 7 Den svenska IT historien Matematikmaskinn mnden , accessed on August 30, 2009 sv icon ref The Academy of Engineering Sciences had initiated some activities already in 1947 by sending five young engineers and scientists to research groups in the United States to study the ongoing activities. Two were sent to John von Neumann at Princeton, two to Howard H. Aiken at Harvard, and one to IBM . When it turned out that it would not be possible for Sweden to get export licence s for US built computers, the activities of MMN quickly changed into constructing rather than importing computing machinery. The relay based BARK, operational in 1950, was built as an interim measure. This was followed by the vacuum tube based BESK, operational in 1954, which for a short time was the fastest computer in the world. In 1963, MMN was closed down. At that time, the Swedish government felt that there was no need for further computer development by a government agency, as computers were now an industrial product. MMN had never received funds to launch developments of a new generation of transistor based computers, so when they were closed down ... a transistor based version of BESK.

unreferenced article date July 2008 Diplomatic accreditation is the process in which an ambassador is certified as one country s official representative to another. Accreditation occurs when a new ambassador presents Letter of Credence letters of credence , or credential s, to the host country s head of state . Letters of credence, which are signed by the ambassador s own head of state, confirm that the ambassador is authorised to represent his or her country, and ask that the host country respect this fact. The presentation of letters of credence is often an elaborate ceremony, and serves as an official welcome to the new ambassador. In accordance with the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations , ambassadors are not regarded as having officially taken up their duties until the accreditation process is complete. Among the diplomats accredited to a particular country the diplomatic corps , seniority is determined by the date of accreditation. Usually, an ambassador is accredited to only one country at a time, but this is not always the case multiple accreditations often called dual accreditation s or cross accreditations are quite possible. In this case, ambassadors live in one country, and travel to the others as required. This allows a country to have full diplomatic relations with a country even if maintaining a resident ambassador is not necessary, or is an inefficient use of resources. Ambassadors from one Commonwealth Realm to another called high commissioner s do not present letters of credence as they share the same head of state, a letter from one head of state to another is obviously impossible. Instead, such high commissioners present letters of introduction. They are nevertheless described as accredited by some governments.
