This paper develops a new method for implementing masscustomization, namely, the customization around standard products, or catalog-based customization. The method addresses the customization requirements of a class of products that are complex in con guration, multi-functional and structurally similar. We formulate catalog-based customization as an optimization problem consistent with the manu...

SOAlive aims at providing a community-centric, hosted environment and, in particular, at simplifying the description and discovery of situational enterprise services via a service catalog. We argue that a service community has an impact not only on users and services, but also on the environment itself. Specifically, our position is that a service catalog adds value to users, and is itself enri...

We utilize a new VLA Galactic plane catalog at 1.4 GHz covering the first and second Galactic quadrants (340 • ≤ l ≤ 120 • , |b| ≤ 0.8 • with |b| ≤ 1.8 • for 350 • ≤ l ≤ 40 • and |b| ≤ 2.5 • for 100 • ≤ l ≤ 105 •) in conjunction with the MSX6C Galactic plane mid-infrared catalog to supplement and better understand our 5 GHz catalog (Giveon et al. 2005). A radio catalog of this region was first ...

We continue the analysis of metrically homogeneous graphs, taking up where the catalog left off. We give some general results on the structure of Γi, and show that the metrically homogeneous graphs of diameter 3 are all in the catalog.

Abstract. TOPCAT is a widely used desktop application for manipulation of astronomical catalogs and other tables, which has long provided fast interactive visualization features including 1, 2 and 3-d plots, multiple datasets, linked views, color coding, transparency and more. In Version 4 a new plotting library has been written from scratch to deliver new and enhanced visualization capabilitie...

The goal of the privacy-preserving average consensus (PPAC) is to guarantee the privacy of initial states and asymptotic consensus on the exact average of the initial value. This goal is achieved by an existing PPAC algorithm by adding and subtracting variance decaying and zero-sum random noises to the consensus process. However, there is lack of theoretical analysis to quantify the degree of t...
