Received (received date) Revised (revised date) Communicated by Christian Lengauer ABSTRACT Programming with parallel skeletons is an attractive framework because it encourages programmers to develop eecient and portable parallel programs. However, extracting parallelism from sequential speciications and constructing eecient parallel programs using the skeletons are still diicult tasks. In this...

The blind separation of multiple co-channel binary digital signals using an antenna array involves finding a factorization of a data matrix X into X AS, where all entries of S are 1 or −1. It is shown that this problem can be solved exactly and non-iteratively, via a certain generalized eigenvalue decomposition. As indicated by simulations, the algorithm is robust in the presence of noise. An i...

In this paper we present a Quantified SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) analytical method which provides more detailed and quantified data for SWOT analysis. The Quantified SWOT analytical method adopts the concept of Multiple-Attribute Decision Making (MADM), which uses a multi-layer scheme to simplify complicated problems, and thus is able to perform SWOT analysis on sev...
