Web-based support for collaborative product design review
Authors: George Q. Huang
Venue: Computers in Industry (2002)

This paper reports on the development of a web-based framework---CyberReview---a central portal for supporting collaborative product design review (DR) between partners in the extended enterprise. The design of this DR portal is based on a systematic theory of axiomatic design review (STAR) that defines the DR as a mapping process between the design objects (DOs) and the review criteria (RC). Such a DR portal provides a number of online facilities over the world wide web (WWW or Web) to support various DR decision-making activities, such as uploading and downloading relevant design documents, submitting individual reviews and organizing and conducting DR sessions. The effectiveness and efficiency of the DR process are expected to be greatly improved.
Customer Relationship Management: A Strategic Imperative in the World of e-Business, 1st edition
Authors: Stanley A. Brown, Price Waterhouse Coopers
Venue:  (1999)

:Maximize customer satisfaction and maximize your bottom lineOver the last decade, too many organizations have assumed that their products or services were so superior that customers would automatically keep coming back for more. But in order to compete effectively in today's marketplace, organizations must change their strategy to become more customer focused, not product focused. Customer Relationship Management (CRM) is the best way to integrate this customer-facing approach throughout an organization. Aimed at understanding and anticipating the needs of an organization's current and potential customers, this innovative book shows how CRM links people, process, and technology to optimize an enterprise's revenue and profits by first providing maximum customer satisfaction. * Covers developing a market-oriented strategy, innovation in products and services, sales and channels transformation, customer relationship marketing, and customer care

Blown to Bits: How the New Economics of Information Transforms Strategy
Authors: bn.com review, Thomas S. Wurster
Venue:  (2000)

:Richness or reach? The trade-off used to be simple but absolute: Your business strategy either could focus on "rich" informationcustomized products and services tailored to a niche audienceor could reach out to a larger market, but with watered-down information that sacrificed richness in favor of a broad, general appeal. Much of business strategy as we know it today rests on this fundamental trade-off. Now, say Evans and Wurster, the new economics of information is eliminating the trade-off between richness and reach, blowing apart the foundations of traditional business strategy. With the spread of connectivity and common standards, your customers will increasingly have rich access to a universe of alternatives, your suppliers will exploit direct access to your customers, and focused competitors will pick off the most profitable parts of your value chain. According to Blown to Bits, your business definition, industry definition, and competitive advantage are simultaneously up for grabs. With an uncompromising clarity and vivid examples, Blown to Bits is targeted squarely at today's practicing business and corporate leaders. This groundbreaking book shows how to build new strategies that reflect a world where richness and reach go hand in hand, and explains how to take advantage of the new forces shaping competitive advantage.

Teletraffic capacity of CDMA cellular mobile networks and adaptive antennas
Authors: Abdulaziz S. Al-Ruwais
Venue: International Journal of Network Management (2002)

The teletraffic capacity of a CDMA mobile network with adaptive antennas at the receiver base station is considered and a simplified expression for the system outage probability associated with the teletraffic capacity is obtained. Analytical as well as numerical results show that the outage probability, and consequently the teletraffic capacity of the system, is improved using adaptive antennas at the receiver base station.
Education
Authors: Bobby Schnabel
Venue: SIAM Review (2000)

The articles in Education in this issue again illustrate the diversity of levels and material that this section strives for. The first article is rich in background on applications of mathematics and numerical computing that could be used in courses in both fields at either elementary or advanced levels. The second article is a module that will fit nicely into more advanced courses on partial differential equations or singular perturbation theory. Grandine's piece on the applications of contouring should be most welcome in courses ranging from introductions to numerical computation or applied mathematics, to courses or units on differential algebraic equations at a more advanced level. The article is inspired in part by Grandine's work at the Boeing Company and thus brings very nice real-world connections into the classroom. Much of the article motivates a wide variety of applications that lead to contouring problems. These include the general surface intersection problem; removing hidden lines and finding horizon lines in computer graphics; projecting curves onto surfaces, with an application to the design of wing-fuselage joints in aircraft design; "filleting" in solid modeling, that is, creating gentle transitions between two intersecting surfaces; and computing the envelopes of moving machinery parts, illustrated by the motion of an airplane's retractable landing gear. This set of applications is a wonderful illustration of the richness of problems that applied mathematics and numerical computation address. Grandine shows how these problems all correspond to the solution of n nonlinear equations in n - 1 unknowns and how this problem is addressed through the addition of a differential equation constraint, leading to a differential algebraic problem. The article gives a nice introduction to the solution of such problems that would fit well either in a survey course or at the start of a more advanced course. The article by Edwards gives a new and different example of the method of multiple scales that students and instructors should find useful. The example arises in the study of the heat equation with a slowly varying flux imposed at one end. This example is simpler than traditional examples used to motivate the concept of multiple scales, and it allows students to concentrate more directly on this new concept rather than the details of the example. The derivation motivates why multiple scales are needed: using either scale without the other leads to an unsatisfactory model. A second attractive feature of this example is that it introduces the concept of multiple-scale expansions for PDEs, as opposed to the traditional example from on ODE context. The article is written from the viewpoint of an experienced instructor and includes a number of exercises for students following each of sections 2, 3, and 4. This feature should add to its attractions as a module to be used in PDE or singular perturbation theory courses.
Active Noise Control Systems: Algorithms and DSP Implementations, 1st edition
Authors: Sen M. Kuo, Dennis Morgan
Venue:  (1995)

:Active noise control (ANC) is rapidly becoming the most effective way to reduce noises that can otherwise be very difficult and expensive to control. ANC is achieved by introducing a canceling "anti-noise" wave through an appropriate array of secondary sources. When applied accurately, ANC can provide effective solutions to noise-related problems in a broad range of areas, including manufacturing and industrial operations as well as consumer products. Consequently, ANC research and development has become an important focus of both industrial applications and engineering research. Active Noise Control Systems: Algorithms and DSP Implementations introduces the basic concepts of ANC with an emphasis on digital signal processing (DSP) hardware and adaptive signal processing algorithms, both of which have come into prominence within the last decade. The authors emphasize the practical aspects of ANC systems by combining the principles of adaptive signal processing with both experimental results and practical implementation. Applications are cited in many fields and encompass all types of noise media, including air-acoustic, hydroacoustic, vibrations, and others. The specific implementation stressed is based on the TMS320 family of signal processors from Texas Instruments, which are the most widely used worldwide. Coverage of theory includes concise derivations and analyses of commonly used adaptive structures and algorithms for active noise control applications, which are enhanced by the inclusion of a floppy disk featuring C and assembly programs for implementing many ANC systems. Mathematical representations are employed and the source code included on the disk is in a form that is easily accessible to anyone using the book. For practicing engineers, researchers, and advanced students in signal processing, Active Noise Control Systems: Algorithms and DSP Implementations will serve as a comprehensive, state-of-the-art text/reference on this important and rapidly de
Flash and Xml: A Developer's Guide
Authors: Dov Jacobson, Jesse Jacobson
Venue:  (2001)

From the Book:Flash can make gorgeous presentations for high-end Web sites. They fill the opening screen with high-grade wow-factor! Lots of color and tasteful type and exquisite motion. The music is thrilling, too. Each of these intros is amazing and each is unique. They only have one thing in common. Every one has a button that says SKIP INTRO. Those two words carry a lot of weight. What's up? The Web is outgrowing its eye-candy phase, and so must Flash. A Web site must be pretty to be viable, but it must be highly functional as well. Flash pros can't get by on gee-whiz animation or cool interfaces. They'd better prepare to do some of the heavy lifting on the working Web. Flash screens must interface with dynamic content, with backend databases, with server based applications, and even with other live users. XML provides a path to all of this. Don't stop! Once you connect your Flash code to the outside world, your scope is unbounded. And so is the list of things to learn. In this book we learn a lot. We begin with Flash and XML. We study networking protocols and server scripting. We learn sockets and SQL and a few fancy XML dialects. We go on to achieve competence in many other related technologies--and put them together to build working Web systems. Who are you? If you are creative and you are technical, this book is for you. Maybe you have a design background. You learn whatever technology you need to realize your vision. This book offers you skills that open fresh new worlds. Let's hope your imagination can keep up. Maybe you have computer science training. You're happy with simple grey buttons. Your art is an elegant code design. You are ready to put Flash to work with all the Web technologies you already know. This book was written by authors who approach it from both angles. We want it to speak to both engineers and artists, and we struggled (often with each other) to support both perspectives. Why? We wrote this book because it wasn't there when we needed it. Dov & Jesse Jacobson Berkeley Lake, Georgia July '01
Our little help machines and their invisibilities
Authors: David K. Farkas
Venue: ACM Journal of Computer Documentation (JCD) (2001)

This paper examines the four kinds of invisibility Johnson-Eilola associates with minimalist help systems: fast information access that reduces user reflection and questioning, impersonal writing style that assumes the Shannon-Weaver communication model, narrow scope that leads to training but not teaching, and interface designs that oversimplify user tasks. For each of the four, the paper questions Johnson-Eilola's conclusions. Ultimately, the problems with truncated online help systems may disappear, as help systems are increasingly linking to the web, where adequate conceptual information is often supplied and opportunities for a social context for help are available.
CASS: computer-assisted stereotaxic surgery
Authors: P. A. Hawrylyshyn, R. R. Tasker, L. W. Organ
Venue: Proceedings of the 4th annual conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniques (1977)

An interactive computer graphics system has been developed for online use with a two-stage stereotaxic technique in man. The computer plots sagittal sections approximating the region of the brain being stimulated on a display screen located in the operating room. When responses are elicited by electrical stimulation, they are graphically illustrated on the template, accurately positioned at the brain site being stimulated. If such evoked responses do not fit the template, they can be replotted on a modified template in a manner prescribed by the neurosurgeon. Such a system allows optimal localization of subcortical lesion sites.

Locally Subcube-Connected Hypercube Networks: Theoretical Analysis and Experimental Results
Authors: Jianer Chen, Guojun Wang
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Computers (2002)

We study hypercube networks with a very large number of faulty nodes. A simple and natural condition, the local subcube-connectivity, is identified under which hypercube networks with a very large number of faulty nodes still remain connected. The condition of local subcube-connectivity can be detected and maintained in a distributed manner based on localized management. Efficient routing algorithms on locally subcube-connected hypercube networks are developed. Our algorithms are distributed and local-information-based in the sense that each node in the network knows only its neighbors' status and no global information of the network is required by the algorithms. For a locally subcube-connected hypercube network that may contain up to 37.5 percent faulty nodes, our algorithms run in linear time and, for any two given nonfaulty nodes, find a routing path of length bounded by four times the Hamming distance between the two nodes. Theoretical analysis and experimental results are presented which show that, under a variety of probability distributions of node failures, hypercube networks are locally subcube-connected with a very high probability and our routing algorithms run in linear time and construct routing paths of nearly optimal length.

Continuous-Time Dynkin Games with Mixed Strategies
Authors: Nizar Touzi, Nicolas Vieille
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2002)

Let (X,Y,Z) be a triple of payoff processes defining a Dynkin game \tilde R(\sigma,\tau) &=& E\left[ X_\sigma\1_{\{\tau>\sigma\}} +Y_\tau \1_{\{\tau where $\sigma$ and $\tau$ are stopping times valued in [0,T]. In the case Z=Y, it is well known that the condition X $\leq$ Y is needed in order to establish the existence of value for the game, i.e., $\inf_{\tau}\sup_{\sigma}\tilde R(\sigma,\tau)$ $=$ $\sup_{\sigma}\inf_{\tau}\tilde R(\sigma,\tau)$.In order to remove the condition $X$ $\leq$ $Y$, we introduce an extension of the Dynkin game by allowing for an extended set of strategies, namely, the set of mixed strategies. The main result of the paper is that the extended Dynkin game has a value when $Z\leq Y$, and the processes X and Y are restricted to be semimartingales continuous at the terminal time T.

Analysis of object interaction during the enterprise javabeans lifecycle using formal specification technique
Authors: Ji-Hyun Lee, Cheol-Jung Yoo, Ok-Bae Chang
Venue: ACM SIGPLAN Notices (2002)

Today's many software projects are based on integration of independently designed software components that are acquired on the market, rather than developed within the projects as a whole. Such a component-based development is an architectural design that permits flexible composition of components into applications. EJB is a good example of these components architecture. Sometimes we misunderstand how EJB operates precisely, because EJB specification is documented in informal language. This paper presents a rigorous analysis of object interaction during the Enterprise JavaBeans lifecycle which is documented informally in EJB specification and shows how a formal specification language can be used to define this. There are a number of different formal languages for software specification including Z and VDM. We have chosen to use Z notation for the reasons that Z has a large variety of notation and it is based on the set theory that forms an adequate basis for building more complex data structures.
