Recent advances in distributed systems and transportable software and increasing demand for better quality-of-service (QOS) control in multiservice networks are driving a re-examination of network software architectures. We established the COMET Group (Control Management and Telemedia) at Columbia University’s Center for Telecommunications Research to provide a comprehensive understanding of ne...

The G-Lab project aims to investigate new networking paradigms and algorithms for a future internetworking architecture in an experimental manner. Thus the G-Lab project consists of a spiral process of two major fields of activities: research studies of future network components and their experimental design within an experimental facility. Both activities are controlled by the same community t...

Social media is often used by researchers as an approach to obtaining real-time data on people’s activities and thoughts. Twitter, as one of the most popular social networking services nowadays, provides copious information streams on various topics and events.

The repeated interplay between discipline-oriented activities and generic academic computing are considered. The relationship between the European activities and those in other regions – of course including the US, but also other regions o...

Two potent anti-MRSA tanshinone glycosides (1 and 2) were discovered by targeted microbial biotransformation, along with rapid identification via MS/MS networking. Serial reactions including dehydrogenation, demethylations, reduction, glycosylation and methylation have been observed after incubation of tanshinone IIA and fungus Mucor rouxianus AS 3.3447. In addition, tanshinosides B (2) showed ...

System integration (SI) activities are playing a major role in turning IT innovations into competitive business applications. Currently, this business is mainly run in a vendor-type mode where system solutions are purchased from an integrator. Current developments in information technology, mainly the advance of global networking, as well as the fiscal treatment of SI transactions indicate a di...

According to the organizational learning literature, the greatest competitive advantage a firm has is its ability to learn. In this paper, a framework for modeling learning competence in firms is presented to improve the understanding of managing innovation. Firms with different knowledge stocks attempt to improve their economic performance by engaging in radical or incremental innovation activ...

This paper presents the process of design involved in prototyping a Personal Health Record (PHR), a patient-centered information and communication hub. As the PHR has to be used by laypeople, we focused on their health related activities (i.e. information management) carried out in the household using a sociological perspective to elicit the infrastructural requirements of the IT. We identified...
