Managing knowledge of research is one way to ensure just in time information and knowledge to support research strategist and activities. Unfortunately researcher found the vital research knowledge in IHL (Institutions of Higher Learning) are scattered, unstructured and unorganized. Aiming on lay aside conceptual foundations for understanding and developing OMS (Organizational Memory System) to...

This paper explores a novel approach to the implementation of non-causal modelling and simulation languages supporting highly structurally dynamic systems. One reason the support for structural dynamics is limited in present mainstream non-causal modelling and simulation languages is that they are designed and implemented on the assumption that symbolic processing of models and ultimately compi...

Unless your organization is unique, it’s been under assault over the past fifteen years from intense competitive pressures. In response, you and others have ordered up a veritable alphabet soup of improvement initiatives: QCC, STS, TQC, TQM, SPC, JIT, DOE, ERP — does it ever end? Or you’ve turned to the “non-alphabetized” menu: benchmarking; reengineering; cycle-time reduction; supply chain man...

This paper investigates three scheduling algorithms and three inventory control policies to evaluate their effect on the system performance measures using computer simulation. The model chosen is a flow-shop type, computer assembly plant. Analysis is conducted on two scheduling measures (summation of process time and tardiness) and two inventory control measures (ordering cost and holding cost)...

Run-time code generation (RTCG) and just-in-time compilation (JIT) are features of modern programming systems to strike the balance between generality and eeciency. Since RTCG and JIT techniques are not portable and notoriously hard to implement, we propose code splicing as an alternative for dynamically-typed higher-order programming languages. Code splicing combines precompiled pieces of code...

Extract: In summary then, the 'new cosmopolitanism' offers a basis to establish a more just global order, predominantly through its espousal of a commitment to humanity as a whole, facilitated by building consensus on values which demonstrate a commitment beyond the nation. It is not universalist, although it has the potential to become so, and it is not predicated on the existence of a global ...

This paper deals with some detection issues of watermark signals. We propose an easy way to implement an informed watermarking embedder whatever the detection function. This method shows that a linear detection function is not suitable for side information. This is the reason why we build a family of non-linear functions named JANIS. Used with a side-informed embedder, its performance is much b...
