We describe the voice quality classification system that uses entropy and dynamism criteria as discrimination features. The main idea of this approach is that the input neural net is considered as an informational channel. Channel tuned to the certain type of information transmits it best of all according to the informational criterion. In our case a multilayer perceptron (MLP) emitted posterio...

This article suggests that dynamic capabilities can give the firm competitive advantage, but this effect is contingent on the level of dynamism of the firm’s external environment. A nonlinear, inverse U-shaped moderation is proposed, implying that the relationship between dynamic capabilities and competitive advantage is strongest under intermediate levels of dynamism but comparatively weaker w...

Dynamic bandwidth allocation for upstream transmission in EPONs has gathered significant attention. Maximizing utilization is inversely related to dynamic bandwidth allocation. We propose an auctioning mechanism for bandwidth allocation with a view to dissolution of the paradox between efficiency (utilization) and dynamism. While conventional bandwidth auctioning schemes pose efficiency as well...

The second World Wide Web generation is increasingly oriented to services. This generation is rich in requests for dynamic and personalised content, which represents an important segment of current internet traffic. E-business applications are a particular case of the dynamic web, where dynamism and personalisation play an important role in business strategy. Understanding the characteristics o...

This work presents a procedural content generation system that uses an evolutionary algorithm in order to generate interesting maps for a real-time strategy game, called Planet Wars. Interestingness is here captured by the dynamism of games (i.e., the extent to which they are action-packed). We consider two different approaches to measure the dynamism of the games resulting from these generated...

Software development is a constant endeavor to optimize qualities like performance and robustness while ensuring functional correctness. Architecture Description Languages (ADLs) form a foundation for modeling and analyzing functional and non-functional properties of software systems, but, short of programming, only the simulation of those models can ensure certain desired qualities and functio...

OF THE DISSERTATION A Multiobjective Approach for Addressing Dynamism and Heterogeneity in Parallel Scientific Simulations by SUMIR CHANDRA Dissertation Director: Professor Manish Parashar Scientific simulations offer the potential for accurate solutions of realistic models of complex physical phenomena. These simulations are based on systems of partial differential equations and are playing an...
