- Evolution Analysis Of Large-Scale Software Systems Using Design Structure Matrices & Design Rule Theory
- Designers often seek modular architectures to better accommodate expected changes and to enable parallel development. However, we lack a formal theory and model of modularity and software evolution, which can be used for description, prediction, and prescription. According to Baldwin and Clark's theory, modular architectures add value to system designs...

- Electronic Hierarchies And Electronic Heterarchies
- This paper uses concepts from the theory of the firm and MIS research to argue that some types of Information Technology IT will be deployed only within hierarchical governance structures. This argument introduces a contingency into the 'Electronic markets hypothesis,' which holds that greater use of IT is unidirectionally associated...

- The Value Of Openness In Scientific Problem Solving
- Openness and free information sharing amongst scientists are supposed to be core norms of the scientific community. However, many studies have shown that these norms are not universally followed. Lack of openness and transparency means that scientific problem solving is constrained to a few scientists who work in secret and...

- Resolving Information Asymmetries In Markets: The Role Of Certified Management Programs
- Firms and regulators are increasingly relying on voluntary mechanisms to signal and infer quality of difficult-to-observe management practices. Prior evaluations of voluntary management programs have focused on those that lack verification mechanisms and have found little evidence that they legitimately distinguish adopters as having superior management practices or performance. In...

- Reinventing Savings Bonds
- Savings Bonds have always served multiple objectives: funding the U. S. government, democratizing national financing, and enabling families to save. Increasingly, this last goal has been ignored. A series of efficiency measures introduced in 2003 make these bonds less attractive and less accessible to savers. Public policy should go in...

- A Survey-Based Procedure For Measuring Uncertainty Or Heterogeneous Preferences In Markets
- This paper shows how surveys can be used to generate a measure of the amount of information and/or heterogeneity of preferences within a market. This measure can be employed as a regressor in empirical work where variance in the dependent variable (e.g., auction prices, retail price dispersion, or investment choices...

- Exploratory Identification of Cardiac Noise in fMRI Images
- A fast exploratory framework for extracting cardiac noise signals contained in rest-case fMRI images is presented. Highly auto-correlated, independent components of the input time series are extracted by applying Canonical Correlation Analysis in the time domain. A close correspondence between some of these components and cardiac noise contributions is established....

- White Matter Tractography Using Sequential Importance Sampling
- Several methods for the reconstruction of white matter tracts from DT-MRI have been proposed in the literature. They present a novel approach for white matter tractography based on sequential importance sampling and resampling SBR. By modeling all possible fiber paths originating from a starting point as a distribution, a probability...

- Level Set Based Segmentation With Intensity and Curvature Priors
- A method is presented for segmentation of anatomical structures that incorporates prior information about the intensity and curvature profile of the structure from a training set of images and boundaries. Specifically, this paper models the intensity distribution as a function of signed distance from the object boundary, instead of modeling...
