Critical Success Factors Revisited: A Model for ERP Project Implementation

Introduction Implementation of ERP systems is widely recognized (Parr, Shanks, and Darke, 1999; Ambrosio, 1997; Fine, 1995; Gartner Group, 1998; Horwitt, 1998; Stedman, 1998a, 1998b; Martin, 1998; Piszczalski, 1997; Tebbe, 1997) as both problematic, and likely to overrun time and budget allocations for the actual implementation project. Of course IT projects do have a history of having such problems but ERP implementations are more intractable than most. Martin (1998) reported that over 90% of ERP implementations were late and/or over budget; some have terminated in expensive legal actions (James, 1997; Shanks et al., 2000); and the popular literature ( Infoweek, Computerworld , etc.) contains numerous stories which describe ERP implementations in colourful terms, such as ‘endurance’ tests, ‘fiascos’, ‘living to tell about it’, and ‘war stories’ (see, for example, Tebbe, 1997; Horwitt, 1998). In response to these problems, the academic literature has taken a two-pronged approach. First, it has focused on CSFs (Parr, Shanks, and Darke, 1999; Holland, Light, and Gibson, 1999; Sumner, 2000; Shanks et al., 2000; Parr and Shanks, 2000b) for implementation of ERP systems. Secondly, it has developed process models of successful implementation (Bancroft, 1996; Bancroft, Seip, and Sprengel, 1998; Markus and Tanis, 2000; Holland, Light, and Gibson, 1999; Parr, Shanks, and Darke, 1999; Ross, 1998). Both approaches aim to achieve more successful implementation and deeper insight into the process.
CARACTERISATIONS ET OPTIMISATIONS DES DEPOTS DES COUCHES MINCES D'OXYDE DE ZINC (ZnO) EN VUE D’APPLICATIONS DANS LES ENERGIES RENOUVELABLES.

Sn-doped ZnO thin films with 0%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5% and 2% Sn were grown by spray pyrolysis method on glass substrates under optimized conditions. High resolution Field Effect Scanning Electron Microscopy characterization showed that the films consist of hexagonal-like grains. A comprehensive study of the optical properties was performed and the dispersion constants were determined. The effect of Sn content on the optical band gap and the optical constants (refractive index, extinction coefficient, dielectric constants, and dispersion parameters) was studied. These Sn-doped ZnO thin films are highly transparent (73–93%) in the visible region. A blue shift of the optical band gap, attributed to the Burstein Moss effect, was observed for the Sn-doped films. All the optical dispersion parameters depend on the Sn content of the films, but were found to reach threshold values at a Sn content of 0.5%. These optical parameters are discussed in terms of the single oscillator model. This study demonstrated that this 0.5% Sn-doped ZnO thin film has enhanced physical properties, allowing its better integration in optoelectronic devices. 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Colloquial Malaysian English (CMalE) : a problem or a cool phenomenon?

The phenomenon of Colloquial Malaysian English (CMalE), or Manglish as known by Malaysians, is a long-debated topic on whether the usages of this form of English butchers the purity of the language itself, that is, of the native speakers; or, if it is a cool phenomenon. This research article attempts to present an analysis on CMalE with the purpose to find out if the usage of this form of English would affect the purity of the English language for Malaysian English speakers, or if this is just a cultural phenomenon that does not affect the interlocutor's ability to use the language in the standard form when the occasion arises. El fenómeno acuñado como 'inglés malasio coloquial' o Manglish, como se conoce comúnmente entre los malasios, se halla en el centro del debate desde hace mucho tiempo. Esto es así porque hay dos concepciones respecto a esta modalidad de habla, la de quienes consideran que esta variante del inglés destruye la pureza del inglés estándar hablado por los anglohablantes malasios, y la de quienes entienden que se trata de un fenómeno cultural que no afecta, en modo alguno, a la habilidad del interlocutor para usar la lengua estándar cuando la ocasión lo requiera.
A scheme for compiling GHC to prolog using freeze

By using the metapredicate freeze, object-oriented programming and process simulation can, for several problems, be done directly in Prolog; although, this is a tiresome and untidy chore. Committed choice languages, on the other hand, provide an elegant syntax for these types of programs. A scheme is given for compiling Guarded Horn Clauses into sequential Prolog, using Prolog's own scheduling principle. Synchronization is implemented using freeze, thereby avoiding busy wait. This proves that Prolog, including freeze, gives enough strength to cover a wide range of object-oriented programming problems, without redefining unification or defining a non-depth-first execution system on top of Prolog. The report presents two versions of the idea: one for flat GHC and one for full GHC. For the flat GHC version, a compiler has been developed and found to give satsfactory behavior.
Improvement of runback water film calculation and its impact on ice prediction

Over the past few decades, aircraft icing has been the subject of numerous studies. Ice accretion on an aircraft can damage its aerodynamic performance. It can also have a devastating affect on structures such as high voltage pylons. The simulation of ice accretion represents an important technological breakthrough in the understanding of ice behaviour as well as an alternative to expensive experiments. Although numerical models will probably never replace wind tunnel experiments, they continuously progress and benefit from the latest advances in computing techniques. ICECREMO2 is a new generation model and uses an unstructured grid approach. Unstructured meshes offer real advantages in the generation of complex grid structures but also provide support for grid adaptivity. Adaptivity consists in improving the resolution only in some aspects of the solution. It offers the benefits of the high resolution without the computational overhead of classical structured methods. Adaptive methods are usually more difficult to implement and the application to the equation coupling water film and ice growth has never been investigated before this work. The mathematical model used in ICECREMO describes both the water film flow and the ice growth. This allows us to better predict glaze ice accretion when a runback water film is present. The equation describing the thin film water flow is a complex non-linear fourth-order degenerate partial differential equation. To resolve complex features such as a moving front, high resolution numerical methods are necessary. Such a numerical scheme has been developed for this equation in a previous study on structured grid, and has proven to be reliable. In this work Sweby’s scheme has been reformulated in a finite volume framework, an error estimator has been defined for our adaptive mesh refinement method and a grid refinement strategy has been implemented which follows the water film front and keeps it under high resolution. Finally, the impact of the improved resolution of the water film on the glaze ice growth is investigated. Results obtained with first-order and high resolution methods have been compared on different model problems under various conditions. At the end an extension of the refinement strategy is proposed by defining error estimators with respect to the ice layer and by combining it with a multi-step procedure.

Efficient algorithms for phylogenetic post-analysis

A variety of tasks are typically performed after a phylogenetic reconstruction proper – tasks which fall under the category phylogenetic post-analysis. In this dissertation, we present novel approaches and efficient algorithms for three post-analysis tasks: taking distances between (typically, all pairs in a set of) trees, bootstrapping, and building consensus trees. For instance, it is often the case that reconstruction finds multiple plausible trees. One basic way of addressing this situation is to take distances between pairs of trees, in order to gain an understanding of the extent to which the trees disagree. The most frequently employed manner for computing the distance between a tree pair is the Robinson-Foulds metric, a natural dissimilarity measure between a pair of phylogenetic trees. We present a novel family of algorithms for efficiently computing the Robinson-Foulds metric. Bootstrapping is a post-analysis technique for drawing support values on tree edges, and is often used for assessing the extent to which the underlying data (e.g., molecular sequences) supports a reconstructed tree. The basis of the approach is to reconstruct many trees, called replicates, based on random subsampling of the original data. However, to date, there has been little treatment in phylogeny regarding the question of how many bootstrap replicates to generate. We propose bootstopping criteria which are designed to provide on-the-fly (i.e., runtime) guidance for determining when enough bootstrap replicates have been reconstructed. Another common post-analysis task is to build a consensus tree, a summary tree that attempts to capture the information agreed upon by bootstrap replicates. Unfortunately, the most popular consensus methods are susceptible to confusion by rogue taxa, i.e., taxa that cannot be placed with assurance anywhere within the tree. We present novel theory and efficient algorithms to identify rogue taxa, as well as a novel technique for interpreting the results (in the context of bootstrapping).
Classical database systems

Classical database technology is oriented toward a well-understood class of applications. Recently the field has attempted to solve the problems associated with new kinds of applications: computer-aided design, software engineering, and others that combine the need to deal with large amounts of data efficiently and the need to support queries in languages that are more expressive than those found in classical database systems. This book attempts to integrate the study of both the new and the classical forms of database systems.
Meta-differencing: an infrastructure for source code difference analysis

The dissertation proposes, realizes, and validates a novel approach for the representation and analysis of differences between source-code documents. The approach is termed meta-differencing as it supports the derivation of high-level facts about differences from differences. By using meta-differencing questions such as “What types of changes were made to a program? ” or “Was a specific program entity changed? ” can be mechanically answered. Questions about the context of those changes can also be addressed. Importantly, it allows these types of questions to be answered from a syntactic, structural, or documentary perspective. This is almost impossible to do with current methods and is typically done by manual inspection. Additionally, the answers to these questions are in a form suitable for further processing of the source code and their differences. This research directly supports engineers in software-evolution tasks such as change management, analysis of version histories, identification of possible errors, refactoring, impact analysis, etc. Current mechanisms for source-code versioning do not easily take advantage of structural and syntactic information in the source code. This hinders the analysis and manipulation of difference information in a version history. The research develops a fine-grained syntactic-level differencing approach that directly supports the analysis of source-code differences. Specifically, by using this approach one can easily determine what type of syntactic construct or program entity was modified. More importantly, the morphological changes that occur within the source can be tracked. Meta-differencing is built on top of a sophisticated underlying infrastructure. It utilizes srcML, an XML representation of the source code developed to support program-analysis tasks. This representation explicitly embeds high-level syntactic information within the source code in such a way that it does not interfere with the textual/documentary context of the source code. The results of this research differ in several ways from related approaches. Meta-differencing allows querying that is not possible with either textual or semantic differencing. It extends the limited work in syntactic differencing to a broader range of software-engineering tasks. It provides for a representation of these differences that opens research possibilities into the further analysis and transformation of differences.

The Two-Pipe Problem: Analysing and Theorizing about 2-Mode Networks

Bipartite networks (e.g., software developers linked to open-source projects) are common in settings studied by organization scholars. But the structure underlying bipartite networks tends to be overlooked. Commonly, two modes are reduced to one mode for analysis, causing loss of information. We review techniques for projecting 2-modes onto 1-mode and discuss 2-mode measures of clustering. We also address the potential for 2-mode theory development concerning (a) how change in one mode influences change in the other, (b) the question of two types of agency, and (c) how diversity in one mode is a substitute for diversity in the other mode.
Time-efficient automatic test pattern generation systems

Automatic Test Pattern Generation (ATPG) systems are tools for generating tests for digital circuits. Due to the complexity of very large scale integrated circuits, such systems are essential for achieving tests with high fault coverage. This thesis presents time efficient ATPG systems for combinational and sequential circuits. First, a fast, effective deterministic test generation algorithm provides a time efficient ATPG system for combinational circuits. This algorithm utilizes a new fast fault simulation algorithm, Parallel Pattern Critical Path Tracing (PPCPT). At the earlier stages of test set simulation, PPCPT takes advantage of critical path tracing, then dynamically transforms to parallel pattern single fault propagation as the simulation progresses. Further, for concurrent engineering design environments, an incremental ATPG concept is introduced. When there is a small circuit modification, incremental test generation utilizes information from tests for the original circuit to speed up test generation for the new circuit. Four incremental techniques are developed to utilize information from the original tests. These four techniques and a fast deterministic test generation algorithm are combined to give ICAT (Incremental Combinational ATPG). ICAT speeds up ATPG by up to a factor of fifteen. In sequential test generation, a fast, efficient deterministic test generation algorithm, called Sequential ATPG (SAT), is developed. SAT employs two complementary procedures: a new improved forward procedure and a simplified backward procedure. Each procedure compensates for the disadvantages of the other. Benchmark results show SAT is a fast algorithm and produces high fault coverage with a reasonable number of test vectors. More important, SAT is a consistent algorithm that can handle difficult circuits not handled well by other algorithms as well as easy circuits. Finally, the incremental concept is extended to sequential test generation, and ISAT (Incremental Sequential ATPG) is developed. In ISAT, to take advantage of information from the original tests by the backward method, the order of application of the forward and backward procedures is reversed. Benchmark results indicate that ISAT improves test generation time for many cases.

Requirements Engineering challenges in multi-site software development organizations

1 The paper is a revised version of the paper entitled "The impact of stakeholders’ geographical distribution on managing requirements in a multi-site organization” published in the Proceedings of the IEEE Int’l Conference on Requirements Engineering, 2002 Abstract The increasing globalization of software industry demands an investigation of Requirements Engineering (RE) in multi-site software development organizations. Requirements engineering is a task difficult enough when done locally -but it is even more difficult when cross-functional stakeholder groups specify requirements across cultural, language and time zone boundaries. This paper reports on a field study that investigated RE challenges introduced by stakeholders’ geographical distribution in a multi-site organization. The goal was to examine RE practice in global software development, to formulate recommendations for improvement as well as to provide directions for future research on methods and tools. Based on the empirical evidence, we have constructed a model of how remote communication and knowledge management, cultural diversity and time differences negatively impact on requirements gathering, negotiation and specification. Findings reveal that aspects such as a lack of a common understanding of requirements, together with reduced awareness of working local context, trust level and ability to share work artifacts significantly challenge the effective collaboration of remote stakeholders in negotiating a set of requirements that satisfies geographically distributed customers. The paper concludes with recommendations for improving RE practice in this setting.
Formal design specification of a Processor Interface Unit

This report describes work to formally specify the requirements and design of a processor interface unit (PIU), a single-chip subsystem providing memory-interface bus-interface, and additional support services for a commercial microprocessor within a fault-tolerant computer system. This system, the Fault-Tolerant Embedded Processor (FTEP), is targeted towards applications in avionics and space requiring extremely high levels of mission reliability, extended maintenance-free operation, or both. The need for high-quality design assurance in such applications is an undisputed fact, given the disastrous consequences that even a single design flaw can produce. Thus, the further development and application of formal methods to fault-tolerant systems is of critical importance as these systems see increasing use in modern society.
Dealing with extreme data diversity: extraction and fusion from the growing types of document formats

The growth in text data available online is accompanied by a growth in the diversity of available documents. Corpora with extreme heterogeneity in terms of file formats, document organization, page layout, text style, and content are common. The absence of meaningful metadata describing the structure of online and open-source data leads to text extraction results that contain no information about document structure and are cluttered with page headers and footers, web navigation controls, advertisements, and other items that are typically considered noise. We describe an approach to document structure and metadata recovery that uses visual analysis of documents to infer the communicative intent of the author. Our algorithm identifies the components of documents such as titles, headings, and body content, based on their appearance. Because it operates on an image of a document, our technique can be applied to any type of document, including scanned images. Our approach to document structure recovery considers a finer-grained set of component types than prior approaches. In this initial work, we show that a machine learning approach to document structure recovery using a feature set based on the geometry and appearance of images of documents achieves a 60% greater F1- score than a baseline random classifier.
