This paper presents a new technique that enhances the process and the methodology used in a performance prediction analysis. An automatic dynamic instrumentation methodology is added to Warwick’s Performance Analysis and Characterization Environment PACE [1]. The automation process has eliminated the need to manually obtain application information and data. The Dynamic instrumentation has given...

BUILD-IT is an up-and-running system putting at work highly intuitive, videobased interaction technology to support complex planning and configuration tasks. It makes state-of-the-art computing and visualisation available to all kinds of users, without requiring any special computer literacy. Based on real, tangible bricks as M. Fjeld, K. Lauche, S. Dierssen, M. Bichsel & M. Rauterberg (1998): ...

The structural components that lead to enzyme function are discussed for one simple enzyme-catalysed reaction: that mediated by triosephosphate isomerase. First, the recognition and binding of the substrates' phospho group is seen to involve four main-chain-NH-hydrogen bonds, two of which are positioned at the positive end of a short alpha-helix aimed precisely at the phospho group and interact...

The customer oriented market leaded to the growth of complexity of production and service processes. This growing complexity has increased the required logistics operations and leaded to the appearance of global supply chain strategies. There are several supply strategies, which are based on just-in-time philosophy and they are core tools of leaning. One of these JIT-based supply strategies is ...

This paper describes the outcomes of a case study aimed at surfacing and analyzing decision making criteria used to prioritize process automation initiatives with a view toward engendering a process-centric organization and eventually exposing these processes as services. The study used structured interviews, content analysis, and enterprise process architecture mapping techniques to explore th...

This empirical study explores the different factors influencing the runtime of a booking process in the middle office of a major European investment company. The study is based on mixed methods research that combines qualitative research data collection techniques with a quantitative research approach. On the basis of semi-structured interviews, we first develop and present a model of the busin...

Anghelescu), pp. 161–182. © 2015 The Board of Trustees, University of Illinois Abstract In the last twenty years, libraries in the Czech Republic have undergone extensive changes, which were evoked by a transitio...

A priori, WIRCam operations under the QSO/NOP mode might not seem to be extremely different than that of MegaCam. However, the data format and observation strategy for such a near-IR system introduce some very significant differences. Not only these differences might influence the software (and hardware) development on a lower level but they also are fundamental in designing and implementing th...

Software can help businesses comply with data protection regulation. The development of such compliance software may be desirable because data protection compliance is difficult or burdensome to achieve, and especially for small and medium enterprises. Building software capable of providing proper legal guidance, or even enforcing the law, is, however, non-evident. This paper addresses some of ...
