This exploratory qualitative study is aimed at depicting communication support to Supply Chain (SC) management, emphasizing how relationships and processes are affected by communication flows. It provides a preliminary comprehensive communication mapping, highlighting key stakeholders involved in SC management, communication roles enhancing logistics performances, and channels supporting inform...

The performance of combinatorial algorithms is often evaluated by using the computational times of a certain number of inputs. The run times of algorithms with certain type of data appear in computational results as the mean of a small sample. Still the choice of sample size is rarely based on the distribution of run times. In this work we use statistical tests to compare the performance of com...

Defining representative workloads, involving workload intensity and service calls within user sessions, is a core requirement for meaningful performance testing. This paper presents the approach for obtaining representative workload models from production systems that has been developed in the DynaMod project for model-driven software modernization.

Tangible tabletop musical interfaces allowing for a collaborative real-time interaction in live music performances are one of the promising fields in NIMEs. At present, this kind of interfaces present at least some of the following characteristics that limit their musical use: latency in the interaction, and partial or complete lack of responsiveness to gestures such as tapping, scrubbing or pr...

A considerable body of accounting research has analysed the effectiveness of subjective performance assessment to compensate for the shortcomings of objective performance measures. The present paper adds a further perspective to this research by analysing the interaction between autonomous motivation and performance evaluation systems that either contain only objective measures or also apply su...

This paper describes Cross-talk, a piece of music and performance system for two instruments augmented with infrared motion-tracking capability, and an artificial software improviser. Cross-talk was commissioned by the Ammerman Center for Arts and Technology at Connecticut College, for the 13th Biennial Symposium on Arts and Technology. The work is part of an ongoing collaboration focused on de...

a r t i c l e i n f o Keywords: Customer value assessment Customer value Process framework B2B markets Integrated solutions This paper examines the key processes and activities of customer value assessment in business-to-business (B2B) markets. Given that an increasing number of B2B firms are providing combinations of products and services, or integrated solutions, the present study examines cu...

Frame latency is one of the main QoS parameters and consequently an important target in performance testing. We compared MIMO, a new metric for measuring frame latency, versus other metrics and in particular versus LCD. Analysis of examples as well as measurement results demonstrated that MIMO is less affected by test workload and is a better indicator of the switch performance, in particular f...

This project consisted of performance testing and evaluation of concrete and Controlled LowStrength Materials (CLSM) containing high-carbon fly ash. One of the aims of this project was to determine the feasibility of incorporating carbon fibers into CLSM and concrete mixtures to lower electrical resistance of these two construction materials. This is continuing work performed by the UWM Center ...

Resource type: Datasets Permanent URL: http://w3id.org/sw4ml-datasets In the recent years, several approaches for machine learning on the Semantic Web have been proposed. However, no extensive comparisons between those approaches have been undertaken, in particular due to a lack of publicly available, acknowledged benchmark datasets. In this paper, we present a collection of 22 benchmark datase...
