IFIP
Authors: Gordon B. Davis
Venue: ACM SIGMIS Database (1996)

New business functions and new academic disciplines have been proposed in the past, and they have not survived. In the past 50 years, information systems has emerged as a business function with a chief information officer (CIO) and information systems (with various names such as MIS) as an academic field. The business function shows some signs of instability, such as short longevity for CIOs and extensive outsourcing. The academic field often expresses uncertainty in the face of rapid changes in its domain of knowledge and criticism from other disciplines. What is the prognosis for the future?
Graphical Models: Foundations of Neural Computation
Authors: Michael Irwin Jordan, Terrence J. Sejnowski
Venue:  (2001)

:Graphical models use graphs to represent and manipulate joint probability distributions. They have their roots in artificial intelligence, statistics, and neural networks. The clean mathematical formalism of the graphical models framework makes it possible to understand a wide variety of network-based approaches to computation, and in particular to understand many neural network algorithms and architectures as instances of a broader probabilistic methodology. It also makes it possible to identify novel features of neural network algorithms and architectures and to extend them to more general graphical models. This book exemplifies the interplay between the general formal framework of graphical models and the exploration of new algorithms and architectures. The articles, which are drawn from the journal Neural Computation, range from foundational papers of historical importance to results at the cutting edge of research.

Large-Scale Computation of Pseudospectra Using ARPACK and Eigs
Authors: Thomas G. Wright, Lloyd N. Trefethen
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2001)

ARPACK and its {\sc Matlab} counterpart, {\tt eigs}, are software packages that calculate some eigenvalues of a large nonsymmetric matrix by Arnoldi iteration with implicit restarts. We show that at a small additional cost, which diminishes relatively as the matrix dimension increases, good estimates of pseudospectra in addition to eigenvalues can be obtained as a by-product. Thus in large-scale eigenvalue calculations it is feasible to obtain routinely not just eigenvalue approximations, but also information as to whether or not the eigenvalues are likely to be physically significant. Examples are presented for matrices with dimension up to 200,000.
Communication, Citizenship, and Social Policy: Rethinking the Limits of the Welfare State
Authors: Andrew Calabrese, Jean-Claude Burgelman
Venue:  (1999)

:What roles can and should governments play in communication policymaking? How are communication policies related to welfare politics? With the rapid globalization of commerce and culture and the increasing recognition of information as an economic resource, the grounds for defending the welfare state have shifted. Communication policy is now more widely understood as social policy. "Communication, Citizenship, and Social Policy" examines issues of communication technology, neoliberal economic policies, public service media, media access, social movements and political communication, the geography of communication, and global media development and policy, among others, and shows how progressive policymakers must use these bases to confront more directly the debates on contemporary welfare theory and politics.Author Biography: Andrew Calabrese is associate professor of journalism and mass communication at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Jean-Claude Burgelman is professor of national and international communication policy at the Free University of Brussels.
Business Expectations: Are You Using Your Technology to Its Fullest?, 1st edition
Authors: Bryan P. Bergeron, Jeffrey M. Blander
Venue:  (2002)

:Technology drives modern business and enables companies to produce and market products that improve our lives and fulfill our desires. The most successful companies are those most adept at taking a new concept, enabled through the development of new technology, and turning that concept into a real product that consumers want or need. This process, in many ways, mirrors the attempts of alchemists to turn common minerals and elements into the most valuable commodity they knew of -- gold. Business Expectations proposes that by viewing business practices as an alchemical process that moves a product along a continuum from magic (an idea) toward gold (a tangible product), business leaders can make better decisions and increase their odds of successful market introduction. Written with CEOs, product developers, marketing executives, and sales professionals in mind, this book provides decision-makers with a set of predictive tools for knowing where a technology lies in the alchemical transformation between concept and product. To excel in the New Economy, businesses must create products that transform a young technology with mercurial functionality into a mature technology with tangible features and functions that are desired by the customer. This book will guide you on that alchemical journey. Three distinct sections offer a full perspective on the challenge of turning ideas and technologies into useful products. The first section presents the technology-as-alchemy metaphor and looks at it through the varied lenses of product development, marketing, sales, and consumer perspectives. The second section explores the practical monetary, predictive, and managerial advantages of the metaphorical model. The third section concentrates on the practical, real-world application of this model in meeting a company's particular needs and facing its challenges. Business Expectations offers new insight on the process of evolving a product or service from prototype to practical technology. It helps managers avoid unrealistic expectations of what technology can do in order to design a realistic and workable e-business strategy to guide their company into a bright and successful future.
XML Step by Step with CDROM
Authors: Michael J. Young
Venue:  (2000)

:Much like HTML, eXtensible Markup Language (XML) is a standard issued by the W3C Web Standards body. The unique aspect of XML is the developer's ability to extend the language by creating new tags. This bridges XML from the world of a mark up language to the world of data exchange, data storage and transfer format.The imminent release of IE5, Internet Information Services, and Office 2000 with their complete XML support will creates an incredible swell of interest, confusion and opportunity centered on XML.XML is rapidly emerging as an important intermediate data format for communicating data over the Internet, among a variety of tools and platforms. By separating the data from the display, XML allows for a great deal of flexibility and allows for a more powerful and scalable client/server "data/display" metaphor.

Gehry, born in 1929, founded his own architectural firm in Los Angeles in 1962, and since the building of the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, he is undoubtedly among the ranks of international architecture superstars. His buildings are complex constructions, with curves and distortions, skilful plastic shapes which never cease to surprise with their breath-taking spatial effects. To create these daring designs, Gehry makes extensive use of the latest electronic tools, physical models are transformed into digital models using software and hardware which has been adapted from the space industry and medical research. This book provides a colourful insight into Gehry's design methods and the creative process behind his fantastic buildings. Author Biography: Bruce Lindsay studied at the Yale School of Architecture; he is now Associate Head at the School of Architecture at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh (USA).
Invert your training program: have applicants train themselves before you hire
Authors: Scott Harrigan
Venue: Proceedings of the 30th annual ACM SIGUCCS conference on User services (2002)

The University at Buffalo's Public Computing unit had a problem: training consultants was both expensive and time consuming, but was still not achieving the results we needed. Applicants were poorly motivated or lacked the aptitude for technical training and required remedial training to bring them up to par. To remedy this at the beginning rather than the end of the hiring cycle when it was too late, we came up with the idea of training applicants and giving them the resources to train themselves before we hired them and then using their success at training themselves as one of the determinants in hiring them as computing consultants.We found that, generally, inverting our training program resulted in substantial savings (both in student wages and staff time), produced a higher quality candidate, and created a competitive environment that motivated candidates to learn and attracted more qualified candidates to the position.

Java Internationalization
Authors: Andrew Deitsch, David Czarnecki
Venue:  (2001)

:On the Internet, there are almost no barriers against international commerce. Except for language. Unfortunately, most software is still written in English. Java Internationalization shows how to write software that is truly multi-lingual, using Java's very sophisticated internationalization facilities. English-only software is already obsolete. Java Internationalization brings Java developers up to speed on the new generation of software development: writing software that is no longer limited by language boundaries. One of the real strengths of Java is that support for Unicode (a standard system for the interchange, processing, and display of written text in 24 different languages) is thoroughly integrated at just about every level. This book explores Java Unicode and provides concrete examples for using its features to create multilingual user interfaces, to correctly format currency, dates and times, and to ensure font support for different languages. About the Author David Czarnecki is a computer scientist in the Internet and Software Technology Laboratory at the GE Corporate Research and Development Center in Niskayuna, NY. He is involved with various e-commerce initiatives and projects, and in recent months has become increasingly involved in providing expertise on how to properly internationalize software. David holds both B.S and M.S. degrees in computer science. Andy Deitsch is a software engineer who manages an e-business group at GE's Corporate Research and Development Center. Andy was fortunate enough to be involved in the beta release of Java in 1995 and has been programming in the language ever since. The inspiration for this book came from his efforts to use Java effectively to build internationalized applications and his frustrations in not finding any books related to this important topic.
On Fully Implicit Space-Time Discretization for Motions of Incompressible Fluids with Shear-Dependent Viscosities: The Case $p \le 2 $
Authors: Andreas Prohl, Michael Ruzicka
Venue: SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis (2001)

In this paper, we deal with a rigorous error analysis for a fully implicit space-time discretization of an unsteady, non-Newtonian fluid flow model, where the nonlinear operator related to the stress tensor exhibits p-structure. In a first step, a semidiscretization in time using the implicit Euler method is discussed. Due to limitation of regularity of the solution for the case $p \neq 2$, a decrease with respect to convergence rates of the method is stated, in general, by retaining smoothly first order in appropriate norms for the Stokes law (i.e., p = 2). The analysis is then extended to a full discretization using stable pairings of finite element spaces in a second step.
Educational simulation of the electroencephalogram (EEG)
Authors: Nicole A. M. de Beer, Willem L. van Meurs, Marco B. M. Grit, Michael L. Good, Dietrich Gravenstein
Venue: Technology and Health Care (2001)

We describe a model for simulating a spontaneous electroencephalogram (EEG) and for simulating the effects of anesthesia on the EEG, to allow anesthesiologists and EEG technicians to learn and practice intraoperative EEG monitoring. For this purpose, we developed a linear model to manipulate the amplitude of the activity in each of the traditional EEG frequency bands. Burst suppression patterns are simulated by manipulating an overall gain. To demonstrate the model feasibility, model parameters for thiopental and isoflurane were estimated guided by published data on the EEG effects of these anesthetic drugs. Using these estimates, EEG time signals were simulated for isoflurane at various partial pressures, and for bolus intravenous doses of thiopental. Comparison with actual recorded EEG signals showed that the changes produced by isoflurane and thiopental in the simulated signals are very similar to the changes in the actual signals, which was confirmed by two clinicians with experience and routine practice in intraoperative EEG monitoring.
The Linear Sampling Method for Solving the Electromagnetic Inverse Scattering Problem
Authors: David Colton, Houssem Haddar, Peter Monk
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2002)

We consider the inverse scattering problem of determining the shape of an obstacle in $\mathbb R$ from knowledge of the time harmonic incident electromagnetic wave and the far-field pattern of the scattered wave with frequency in the resonance region. The approach used is the linear sampling method which does not require a priori knowledge of either the boundary condition or the connectivity of the scattering obstacle. Numerical examples are given for the case of both a simply connected perfect conductor and multiply connected obstacles satisfying an impedance boundary condition on the boundary of one component and satisfying a perfect conducting boundary condition on the boundary of another component.
Advances in Agile Manufacturing: Integrating Technology, Organization and People, 1st edition
Authors: Waldemar Karwowski
Venue:  (1994)

:Contemporary manufacturing industry is undergoing a major shift away from mass production towards a newly emerging paradigm known as Agile Manufacturing. A key element in the reassesment is the shift of focus towards systematic examination of the organization and people issues in advanced manufacturing. The major part of the 160+ papers presented in this work is connected with the issue of developing multidisciplinary methods and tools to support TOP integration (technology, organization and people) and the implementation of Advanced Manufacturing Systems. The commercial concern to build agile enterprises by integrating technology, organization and people results in the need to achieve a competitive advantage through this process by means of concurrent engineering, team working, empowerment and other tools. The interest to master the process of designing and implementing advanced systems has special emphasis. Readers: professionals in computer integrated manufacturing, engineering, human resource management and business.
From Syntactic Theories to Interpreters: Automating the Proof of Unique Decomposition
Authors: Yong Xiao, Amr Sabry, Zena M. Ariola
Venue: Higher-Order and Symbolic Computation (2001)

Developing syntactic theories for reasoning about programming languages usually involves proving a unique-decomposition lemma. The proof of such a lemma is tedious, error-prone, and is usually attempted many times during the design of a theory. We therefore investigate the automation of such proofs.We map the unique-decomposition lemma to the problems of checking equivalence and ambiguity of syntactic definitions. Because checking these properties of context-free grammars is undecidable, we work with regular tree grammars and use algorithms on finite tree automata to perform the checking. To make up for the insufficient expressiveness of regular tree grammars, we extend the basic framework with built-in types and constants, contexts, and polymorphic types.Our implementation extends an earlier system by Xiao et al. [16] that translates semantic specifications expressed as syntactic theories to interpreters. We have successfully used the combined system to generate interpreters and verify the unique-decomposition lemma for a number of examples.
