Web site design: a case study in usability testing using paper prototypes
Authors: Helen M. Grady
Venue: Proceedings of IEEE professional communication society international professional communication conference and Proceedings of the 18th annual ACM international conference on Computer documentation: technology & teamwork (2000)

Paper prototypes are a low-tech, low-cost, but highly effective, form of usability testing for web site design. Creating a web site is relatively easy, given the technology and tools now available. All too often, web site developers tend to be enamored with the technology and forget the needs of end user. As a result, many web site developers delay usability testing until their web site is completely designed, only to uncover significant interface, content, or structural problems with the site once the customers try to use it. Significant redesign may be impossible due to time, cost, or personnel constraints.This paper discusses the benefits of using paper prototypes to conduct usability testing of a web site for Mercer University's School of Engineering Center for Excellence in Engineering Education (CE3). These benefits include the following: 1. Low cost, both in terms of time and materials required to create the prototype; 2. Critical feedback from users, who appear more willing to suggest significant flaws when the site design is obviously very rough; 3. Willingness on the part of the designers to change the design, since they have invested minimal time and effort into creating a paper prototype; and ultimately 4. Improved usability. .This paper also discusses how to create a paper prototype, how to conduct a usability test with the prototype, and what to do with the test results. This process can be used to enhance the usability of any web site.The design of the CE3 is a project of a team of senior technical communication students in the Department of Technical Communication at Mercer University. This paper also discusses the importance of training technical communicators to be user advocates.
Vision for Mobile Robot Navigation: A Survey
Authors: Guilherme N. DeSouza, Avinash C. Kak
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (2002)

This paper surveys the developments of the last 20 years in the area of vision for mobile robot navigation. Two major components of the paper deal with indoor navigation and outdoor navigation. For each component, we have further subdivided our treatment of the subject on the basis of structured and unstructured environments. For indoor robots in structured environments, we have dealt separately with the cases of geometrical and topological models of space. For unstructured environments, we have discussed the cases of navigation using optical flows, using methods from the appearance-based paradigm, and by recognition of specific objects in the environment.

Online Business Planning: How to Create a Better Business Plan Using the Internet, Including a Complete, up-to-Date Resource Guide
Authors: Robert T. Gorman
Venue:  (1998)

:Traditional business planning books give you the outline of your business plan and tell you what information you need. They might even point you in the right direction. They might even suggest you look to the Internet. But when investors, bankers, or senior management want to know the growth rate for your particular industry, or what the competition has planned for the coming year, or a host of other environment and industry specifics, you need to know how to use the Internet...quickly...to get the information you need. That's where Online Business Planning comes in. This is not a source of information in itself, but a key to the whole world of information that awaits you online. Like teaching a man to fish rather than just giving him food, Bob Gorman makes the Web accessible to entrepreneurs and managers who want to create better business plans. He teaches them how to search on their own for the informatin that can help them most. By providing pertinent Web sites and step-by-step access instructions, he eliminates the "shot in the dark" method of finding important business planning information. If you are an experienced Web browser, you can use Online Business Planning as a resource for the most significant sites for business planning. If you are new to the electronic community, the book can be your guide to the world of online information waiting to make you a business plan -- and your new venture -- a success.

Towards a consistent logical framework for ontological analysis
Authors: Aaron N. Kaplan
Venue: Proceedings of the international conference on Formal Ontology in Information Systems - Volume 2001 (2001)

In their framework for ontological analysis, Guarino and Welty provide a number of insights that are useful for guiding the design of taxonomic hierarchies. However, the formal statements of these insights as logical schemata are flawed in a number of ways, including inconsistent notation that makes the intended semantics of the logic unclear, false claims of logical consequence, and definitions that provably result in the triviality of some of their property features. This paper makes a negative contribution, by demonstrating these flaws in a rigorous way, but also makes a positive contribution wherever possible, by identifying the underlying intuitions that the faulty definitions were intended to capture, and attempting to formalize those intuitions in a more accurate way.

Information Technology and Management Control: An Agency Theory Perspective
Authors: Zeinab A. Karake
Venue:  (1992)

:This book draws on organizational research, information technology research, and research in information economics to develop an empirical basis for the integration of the three disciplines. It investigates information technology management based on theoretical foundations of information economics, examines the chief information officer phenomenon and identifies the factors that lead organizations to create such a position, and analyzes organizational and managerial motivations leading to investment in information technology. Karake concludes that the way information technology is managed and the magnitude of investment in such technology depends on the organization ownership structure, that the ownership structure is a determinant of the degree of control information managers exercise, and that there is a significant relationship between the size and composition of boards of directors and the management of and investment in information technology.
Shared text input for note taking on handheld devices
Authors: Laurent Denoue, Patrick Chiu, Tohru Fuse
Venue: CHI '02 extended abstracts on Human factors in computing systems (2002)

Shared text input is a technique we implemented into a note taking system for facilitating text entry on small devices. Instead of writing out words on the tedious text entry interfaces found on handheld computers, users can quickly reuse words and phrases already entered by others. Sharing notes during a meeting also increases awareness among note takers. We found that filtering the text to share was appropriate to deal with a variety of design issues such as screen real estate, scalability, privacy, reciprocity, and predictability of text location.
Blackberries in support of technology
Authors: Susan T. Dunnavant
Venue: Proceedings of the 29th annual ACM SIGUCCS conference on User services (2001)

Interactive paging devices known as Blackberries were evaluated by student and professional support staff of Furman University as a part of a longer range evaluation of the technology for future campus-wide implementation. The immediate and robust but low impact communication potential between field staff and systems administrators offered a level of troubleshooting collaboration not possible with other technologies or communication strategies. The costs, benefits and outcomes of the six-month trial as well as the ongoing use of the devices in this setting may provide others considering the technology with factors to consider.
Parallel execution of prolog programs: a survey
Authors: Gopal Gupta, Enrico Pontelli, Khayri A.M. Ali, Mats Carlsson, Manuel V. Hermenegildo
Venue: ACM Transactions on Programming Languages and Systems (TOPLAS) (2001)

Since the early days of logic programming, researchers in the field realized the potential for exploitation of parallelism present in the execution of logic programs. Their high-level nature, the presence of nondeterminism, and their referential transparency, among other characteristics, make logic programs interesting candidates for obtaining speedups through parallel execution. At the same time, the fact that the typical applications of logic programming frequently involve irregular computations, make heavy use of dynamic data structures with logical variables, and involve search and speculation, makes the techniques used in the corresponding parallelizing compilers and run-time systems potentially interesting even outside the field. The objective of this article is to provide a comprehensive survey of the issues arising in parallel execution of logic programming languages along with the most relevant approaches explored to date in the field. Focus is mostly given to the challenges emerging from the parallel execution of Prolog programs. The article describes the major techniques used for shared memory implementation of Or-parallelism, And-parallelism, and combinations of the two. We also explore some related issues, such as memory management, compile-time analysis, and execution visualization.

A simple paradigm for graph recognition: application to cographs and distance hereditary graphs
Authors: Guillaume Damiand, Michel Habib, Christophe Paul
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2001)

An easy way for graph recognition algorithms is to use a two-step process: first, compute a characteristic feature as if the graph belongs to that class; second, check whether the computed characteristic feature as if the graph belongs to that class; second, check whether the computed separating them may yield new and much more easily understood algorithms. In this paper we apply that paradigm to the cograph and distance hereditary graph recognition problems.
Firm Size, Innovation and Market Structure: The Evolution of Industry Concentration and Instability
Authors: Mariana Mazzucato
Venue:  (2000)

:"The book begins by reviewing the connection between firm size, innovation and market structure from a theoretical and an empirical point of view, with emphasis on the 'complexity' that defines this relationship. It then goes on to build an evolutionary model which explores different Schumpeterian propositions regarding the positive and negative feedback between firm size and innovation as well as the role of idiosyncratic random events on industry market structure." "The concluding chapter uses 100 years in the history of the US automobile industry to explore the relationship between market share instability and stock price volatility and the degree to which this relationship is connected to industry specific factors." "This innovative new book will prove invaluable to researchers, lecturers and scholars of industrial organisation, technology and market structure."--BOOK JACKET.
