Strategic IT Experiments and Organizational Renewal: Getting There Faster By Taking Smaller Steps
The purpose of this paper is to develop practical theory for predicting whether different categories of strategic IT experiments â trials of innovative information technologies within established organizations â lead to varying degrees of organizational renewal. A new framework of categories of strategic IT experiments is developed. We propose that the most innovative strategic IT experimen...
متن کاملBiologically-Inspired Design: Getting It Wrong and Getting It Right
Large, complex computing systems have many similarities to biological systems, at least at a high level. They consist of a very large number of components, the interactions between which are complex and dynamic, and the overall behavior of the system is not always predictable even if the components are well understood. These similarities have led the computing community to look to biology for d...
متن کاملGetting Formal Verification into Design Flow
The ultimate goal of formal methods is to provide assurances about the quality, performance, security, etc. of systems. While formal tools have advanced greatly over the past two decades, widespread proliferation has not yet occurred, and the full impact of formal methods is still to be realized. This paper presents some ideas on how to catalyze the growth of formal techniques in day-to-day eng...
متن کاملCovering Belt Bodies by Smaller Homothetical Copies
Let b(K) denote the minimal number of smaller homothetical copies of a convex body K ⊂ R, n ≥ 2, covering K. For the class B of belt bodies, which is dense in the set of all convex bodies (in the Hausdorff metric), 3 · 2 is known to be an upper bound on b(K) if K is different from a parallelotope. We will show that (except for all parallelotopes and two particular cases, each satisfying b(K) = ...
متن کاملTowards the Design of Smaller Arti cially Living Robots
Recent research in the area of autonomous robots has concentrated on the development of simpler, smaller and cheaper robots. A robot is presented here which has been developed for the purpose of investigating the usefulness of robots with a minimal set of sensors. A carefully selected repertoire of combined instinctive behaviors allows the robot to remain functioning, providing the essence of a...
