The SDI Supply Chain Builder Product Suite is a high-level simulation toolset that provides solutions to enterprise problems. The product suite contains four specific elements for enterprise modeling: SDI Supply Chain Builder for supply/distribution chains, SDI Plant Builder for multi-stage plants driven by schedules, Extend+Industry for high-speed, high-volume production line modeling, and the...

Power amplifier (PA) linearization using digital pre-distortion (DPD) techniques is critical for designers transitioning 3G systems to 3.9G and 4G. This application note introduces the concept behind DPD, as well as how to use the Agilent W1716 SystemVue DPD builder to do hardware verification. This software module implements memory polynomial algorithms to correct wireless components that have...

This article provides a brief overview of Daba software package created in the course of building corpora for Manding languages. Key software features are motivated by the tasks and problems characteristic of many African languages. The corpus-building model proposed here was initially developed for Bambara Reference Corpus which is available online and is freely accessible. The morphological a...

As part of the GINA project at GMD, an interface builder has been implemented that can be used to interactively develop graphical user interfaces based on the OSF/Motif toolkit. The interface builder extensively uses direct-manipulation techniques to facilitate explorative learning and to accelerate the definition process. It provides special support for the dynamic layout capabilities of Motif...

To address the shortage of Japanese-English parallel corpora, we developed a parallel corpus by collecting open source software manuals from the Web. The constructed corpus contains approximately 500 thousand sentence pairs that were aligned automatically by an existing method. We also conducted statistical machine translation (SMT) experiments with the corpus and confirmed that the corpus is u...

Creating added value, innovative applications and services in the web is hindered by the prevailing different formats and models of information retrieved by the various Cloud-based Services (CBS). Additionally, CBS tend to change their Application Programming Interface (API) versions very often, not sufficiently helping the interested enterprises with their adoption as they need to be up-to-dat...

In this work we proposed the design, simulation and synthesis of a hardware that performs the Independent Component Analysis (ICA) in a reconfigurable hardware platform, more specifically a FPGA. The simulation of the hardware was done by models implemented in Simulink environment and the synthesis was possible through the Altera system-level design software DSP Builder, that contains specific ...

Components offer various advantages, such as platform and tool independence but composition languages do not address the same independence. We present a platform independent component composition language called Component Markup Language. CoML offers abstractions for component composition and for meta information. We envision different usage scenarios for CoML as a resource script or input for ...

This paper describes a new method for the ontologically based standardization of concepts with regard to the quality assurance of clinical trial protocols. We developed a data dictionary for medical and trial-specific terms in which concepts and relations are defined context-dependently. The data dictionary is provided to different medical research networks by means of the software tool Onto-Bu...

A computer-aided tool for the design of switching power supplies integrating layout editor, autorouter, component library builder, and EMI simulator is presented. The software takes on a modular approach and develops the printed circuit board (PCB) layout with emphasis on electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). The prediction of interference level is achieved by SPICE simulation with suitable mode...
