The paper develops a method for producing current quarter forecasts of gross domestic product growth with a (possibly large) range of available within-the-quarter monthly observations of economic indicators, such as employment and industrial production, and financial indicators, such as stock prices and interest rates. In light of existing evidence of time variation in the variances of shocks t...

One of the most frequent statements about Systems Engineering challenges is related to complexity increase. The theme of how affording the complexity increased pressure in efficient and sustainable way often emerges during workshops and webinars promoted by the VVTWG, Verification Validation and Testing AISE Working Group. This article proposes one viewpoint related to the opportunity to increa...

Academic and industrial users are increasingly facing the challenge of petabytes of data, but managing and analyzing such large data sets still remains a daunting task. The 4 Extremely Large Databases workshop was organized to examine the needs of communities under-represented at the past workshops facing these issues. Approaches to big data statistical analytics as well as emerging opportuniti...

There are few milletbased industrial products and some authors attribute this to the low brand image that they would receive [1,2]. The grains are processed at the household level or small production workshops employing one to two people....

The conventional wisdom expressed at several recent joint conferences and workshops on algebraic geometry and geometric modeling – Algebraic Geometry and Geometric Modeling 2002, Vilnius, Lithuania, The MSRI Workshop on Real Algebraic Geometry in Applications, Berkeley, 2004, and Algebraic Geometry and Geometric Modeling 2004, Nice, France – is that algebraic geometry has much to offer geometri...

The Single Machine Scheduling with Changeover Costs problem is found in many different workshops. In this case, the main criterion is the sequence-dependent changeover-costs or setup times. This Scheduling problem can be modeled as a Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) and when time constraints are inserted into the model such as due-dates, the resulting problem is known as the Time Dependent Trav...

During the past few years I’ve had the privilege to speak on an industrial perspective on academic education. It has been most encouraging to meet numerous academics who are concerned with effective teaching of applied computer science, software engineering, and information technology. In particular I applaud the work of Joseph Bergin and Jutta Eckstein, Pedagogical Patterns Project [1], and th...
