Necessity of different competencies with high level of knowledge makes it inevitable that software development is a team work. With the todays technology, teams can communicate both synchronously and asynchronously using different online collaboration tools throughout the world. Researches indicate that there are many factors that affect the team success and in this paper, effect of individual ...

Analog circuit verification lacks systematization and formalization. The major weakness of todays verification flows is their uncertainty about verification coverage. This contribution demonstrates how novel approaches can overcome this coverage problem by considering the complete analog state space for verification. An approach to model checking proves the absence or existence of errors with r...

Programming message passing systems can be tedious and error-prone, especially for the inexperienced user facing the sheer amount of available functionality in todays message passing libraries. Instead of choosing the most optimal communication function, many users tend to apply only a small set of well-known standard operations. This paper describes a pattern matching approach based on executi...

This contribution aims to provide a starting point for discussions on how to build knowledge infrastructures that contribute to organizational value chains. Knowledge is recognized as the most important ressource in todays knowledge intensive organizations and knowledge infrastructures provide a fundament for effective management of relevant knowledge within organizations. After motivating the ...

The latest process technology improvements has enabled the presence of increasingly powerful mobile terminals. It is likely that future generations will have similar functionality and flexibility as todays high-performance workstations, and thus the performance requirements as such. We propose an adaptive chip-multiprocessor architecture to provide performance at a low power consumption cost, w...

Celiac and Tropical Sprue are malabsorptive diseases with similar clinical manifestations and histological findings. While, Celiac sprue is a known cause of malabsorption in the Western world, Tropical sprue is relatively uncommon and often overlooked by the medical community. Misdiagnosis can result in delay of adequate treatment in a patient with Tropical Sprue. We present a patient with a Tr...

Mobile information systems integrating information from different sources and feed mobile clients represent a big challenge for todays DBMS technology. Due to the limited capabilities of the clients (available memory, usable bandwidth, temporary disconnections etc.) traditional replication approaches known from distributed databases fail. In this paper we present an approach for data replicatio...

General purpose Problem Solving Environments (PSEs) like Matlab are widely used in the fields of science for development of new algorithms. If a lot of computing power is required to run these algorithms, todays PSEs lack support for accessing the distributed infrastructures of the organisation (i.e. grids), which limits the size of the problems that can be solved. This contribution shows a new...

Many UPS inverters used in todays technology are more efficient and reliable. In this paper we propose a UPS inverter controlled by space vector PWM technique with extended Lyapunov function control strategy which is formed by the energy storage in inductor and capacitor making the system to converge at an equilibrium point when the energy is continuously dissipated. Therefore, an extended Lyap...

Although the role of positive emotions is important in sales, personal happiness remains understudied selling context. Grounded broaden-and-build theory, this study aims to examine relationships among happiness, job involvement, satisfaction and salesperson flourishing. For salespeople, new demands a connected world have largely blurred boundaries between their life work life. It has allowed fr...
