Security requirements approached at the enterprise level initiate the need for models that capture the organisational and distributed aspects of information usage. Such models have to express organisation-specific security policies and internal controls aiming to protect information against unauthorised access and modification, and against usage of information for unintended purposes. This diss...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to assess the work-related musculoskeletal system symptoms and the extent of job stress in female caregivers, as well as the interrelationship between these factors. [Subjects and Methods] Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency (KOSHA) Code H-43 of the Guidelines for the Examination of Elements Harmful to the Musculoskeletal System was used as a tool...

17ANSP-BD-001 Hadoop Performance Modeling for JobEstimation and Resource Provisioning MapReduce has become a major computing model for data intensive applications. Hadoop, an open source implementationof MapReduce, has been adopted by an increasingly growing user community. Cloud computing service providers such as AmazonEC2 Cloud offer the opportunities for Hadoop users to lease a certain amou...

Grid computing is a computation methodology using group of clusters connected over high-speed networks that involves coordinating and sharing computational power, data storage and network resources. Integrating a set of clusters of workstations into one large computing environment can improve the availability of computing power. The goal of scheduling is to achieve highest possible system throu...

Monitoring Job Offer Decisions, Punishments, Exit to Work, and Job Quality Unemployment insurance systems include monitoring of unemployed workers and punitive sanctions if job search requirements are violated. We analyze the effect of sanctions on the ensuing job quality, notably on wage rates and hours worked, and we examine how often a sanction leads to a lower occupational level. The data c...

The paper explores the link between inter-industry wage di¤erences for identical workers and job ‡ows, in particular job destruction rates. I ...nd that, in the manufacturing sector, the two are negatively correlated across 2-digit SIC industries, a fact that most labor market theories fail to explain. A stochastic equilibrium model with endogenous job reallocation and search in the labor marke...

The process of identifying visualization requirements is an important part of every visualization researcher’s and practitioner’s job. Nevertheless, the scientific literature is rather sparse on this topic, usually resorting to some form of user-centered design that is rarely further detailed. In this paper, we give an account of our procedure, our results, our problems and solutions for gather...

The paper explores the relationship between job flows and wages in the U.S. manufacturing sector, where wage differentials for seemingly identical workers and job reallocation rates are shown to be negatively correlated across 3-digit industries. High wage industries have the lowest turnover of jobs, offering more secure employment opportunities. In a regression of wage differentials on industr...

This paper presents an approach used as a basis for interactive system adaptation in which Grid jobs are maintained at runtime. Most of the Grid research on Resource Broker assumes that the broker’s task, other than monitoring the job status, is over once the job has been submitted, i.e. the user submits the job to the broker or the scheduler and simply waits for the results. So far little atte...

In this paper we identify the fundamental differences between webbased and conventional software engineering. We express our views about why we think requirements engineering for web-based application development should be easier than requirements engineering for conventional software development. We will examine the consequences of holding such a position and propose a more effective process m...
