Headquartered in Paris, Inergy Automotive Systems designs, manufactures, and delivers plastic fuel systems. Inergy wanted to improve the performance of its network, while reducing the time necessary to maintain it. The company also wanted to improve access to its messaging and collaboration tools. Inergy worked with Interlink Group to upgrade...
The land rush for the .Me domain is underway and the usual domain name shenanigans are here–especially with speculation that Apple is hoarding these digital monikers to rebrand its .Mac service. This speculation perked up earlier this month. Jason O'Grady tried to land a few Apple.me-ish domains...
Total Leadership is about having a richer life, but work/life balance is the wrong metaphor. It signifies trade-offs, gaining in one area at the expense of another. The essence of being real, of acting with authenticity, is in knowing what you care about and then doing your best to be...
If you're starting a new small business or just looking for nicer Web digs for your existing business, Microsoft has a pretty sweet deal: Microsoft Office Live Small Business, which offers free site design and hosting, a custom domain, contact and document managers, and loads of...
What obligation does a trade owner have to purchase all relevant domain names and misspellings pertaining to its trademark? If the trademark owner does not register all the variations, are they free for the taking? Who has rights to domain names pertaining to defunct businesses? These are questions posed by...
Home prices may be plummeting, but there is another real estate that's steadily growing: .com domain names. Earlier this year, poker.com became the most valuable domain sale in history when it was reportedly sold for a whopping $27 million. In fact, the sales in...
What's in a name? When it comes to a domain it's everything. Today, we're going to look at perhaps the most essential choice you'll make in taking your enterprise to the online realm: Your domain name. The bad news is that there are currently almost 75 million active domain names...
The concept of intent has only been handled by the COMMIT model. The concept of performance is not common among the sample models. Few models have presented the evolution of entities through phases and life cycle stages. GEPM Generic Construction Process Modeling Method and CONCUR (Concurrent Engineering in Building and...
This paper introduces entrepreneurship as an emerging field of research that was moving toward maturity while accumulating an understanding of the entrepreneur and the entrepreneur's role in society. At present, the field seems to be caught between the efforts to overcome the drawbacks of newness and the need to achieve...
The complexity and diversity of government regulations make understanding and retrieval of regulations a non-trivial task. One of the issues is the existence of multiple sources of regulations and interpretive guides with differences in format, terminology and context. This paper describes a comparative analysis scheme developed to help retrieval of...
Domain-specific languages DSL have many potential advantages in terms of software engineering ranging from increased productivity to the application of formal methods. In this paper we present our DSL approach and its application to a realistic application: video display device drivers. The paper focuses on the validation of our proposed...
System family engineering seeks to exploit the commonalities among systems from a given problem domain while managing the variabilities among them in a systematic way. In system family engineering, new system variants can be rapidly created based on a set of reusable assets (such as a common architecture, components, models,...
This paper discusses the applicability of the knowledge representation and reasoning language AnsProlog Answer Set Programming for the design and implementation of a query answering system QAS for homeland security. It discusses the work on using AnsProlog to axiomatize the travel domain. It illustrates how it can be used to...
This paper effort proposes that interactive situational simulation environments can provide platforms for better understanding the construction management domain as a closely coupled system of human and resource interactions. Situational simulations create temporally dynamic clinical exercises that expose participants to rapidly unfolding events and the pressures of decision-making. The focus...
Bi-stable chemical systems are the basic building blocks for intracellular memory and cell fate decision circuits. These circuits are built from molecules, which are present at low copy numbers and are slowly diffusing in complex intracellular geometries. The stochastic reaction diffusion kinetics of a double-negative feedback system and a MAPK...
The design of offshore wind turbines requires assessing a huge amount of different sea states and wind conditions. Therefore the calculation efficiency of a combined time/frequency domain approach is attractive. This was the reason for the development of the frequency domain tool TURBU Offshore. In addition, such a tool is...
The Nokia vision is that people create, share, and consume digital content using interoperable devices that share universal access i.e. are connected with each other anytime, anywhere. This vision includes an architecture that supports connectivity on different domains. Devices are not confined to be only the traditional mobile phones -...
This paper focuses on implementation of the computer program in TURBU offshore. The design of offshore wind turbines requires assessing a huge amount of different sea states and wind conditions. Therefore the calculation efficiency of a combined time/frequency domain approach is attractive. This was the reason for the development of...
Conceptual analysis and knowledge representation often require to develop an ontological support. The activity of developing a domain ontology is therefore one of the fundamental steps to be carried out when developing a shared model of the knowledge possessed by an organization, and consequently, one of the pilasters of knowledge...
The right to quiet has been defined as a public commons. Public space in Australia is becoming increasingly sound designed. This paper investigates the variety of approaches by sound artists who have installed public space drawing on the three year ARC Australian Sound Design Project's research and public outreach Hearing...
