This paper describes some of the author s experiences from a C++ implementation of a concordance program for texts in Old West Norse and Runic Swedish.
Expert Choice represents a significant contribution to the decision making process 工t assists a decision maker in solving complex problems involving many criteria and several courses of action . An Expert Choice solution to a problem reflects the expertise of the decision maker , not the computer .
Behavioral scientists have spent many years studying the human mind and how it makes decisions . They have found that humans are influenced by their previous experiences and this causes them to have biases . Basic instincts , preferences and environmental factors also play key roles in how we analyze data and make decisions . There 15 way to remove these factors from human decision making , nor would we necessarily want to , but as the problems of our world become more and more complex , it 15 necessary for us to employ a framework to help make more logical and less biased decisions while still taking our feelings and intuition into consideration .
This book is the culmination of more than 20 years of building, studying, and teaching real-time systems. The author’s travels have taken him to NASA, UPS, Lockheed Martin, the Canadian and Australian Defense Forces, MIT’s Charles Stark Draper Labs, and many other places. These visits and interactions with literally hundreds of students from such places as Boeing, Motorola, and Siemens have resulted in a wider understanding of real-time systems and particularly their real application. This book is, in essence, a compendium of these experiences. The author’s intent is to provide a practical framework for software engineers to design and implement real-time systems. This approach is somewhat different from that of other texts on the subject.
This document provides guidelines and describes how to easily port S60 2nd Edition
C++ applications to S60 3rd Edition. The document has been written based on
experiences of porting regular S60 2nd Edition applications, such as the S60 Platform:
POP/IMAP Example [4] that can be downloaded from Forum Nokia. Code snippets from
the example are shown in Chapter 8, “Application build changes,” and in Appendix A,
“Code example." In addition, Appendix B, "Commonly used functions that require
capabilities," and Appendix C, "Commonly used interfaces that have been changed or
removed," provide useful information on some frequently used functions and interfaces
in third-party applications.
Managing Humans is a selection of the best essays from Michael Lopps web site, Rands In Repose. Drawing on Lopp s management experiences at Apple, Netscape, Symantec, and Borland, this book is full of stories based on companies in the Silicon Valley where people have been known to yell at each other. It is a place full of dysfunctional bright people who are in an incredible hurry to find the next big thing so they can strike it rich and then do it all over again. Among these people are managers, a strange breed of people who through a mystical organizational ritual have been given power over your future and your bank account. Whether you re an aspiring manager, a current manager, or just wondering what the heck a manager does all day, there is a story in this book that will speak to you. You will learn:
* What to do when people start yelling at each other
* How to perform a diving save when the best engineer insists on resigning
* How to say "No" to the person who signs your paycheck
Electronics Design Checklist
C) 2003 Hank Wallace
This is a checklist for electronics designers. The idea is for engineers and technicians to
share experiences and create a detailed checklist, which the individual designer can pare down to meet his or her specific needs. There are many details that go into the making
of a first-run design success, and this checklist helps prevent Murphy s gremlins from
marring an otherwise healthy design.
This book has grown out of my teaching and research at the University of Surrey and out of
my previous experiences in companies such as Philips, Ascom and Motorola. It is
primarily intended for use by students in master’s level and enhanced final-year under-
graduate courses who are specialising in communication systems and wish to understand
the principles and current practices of the wireless communication channel, including both
antenna and propagation aspects
This book describes how global mobile communication was made. It is written for those who
want or need to know how this was achieved e.g.:
? Young professionals who want to build their career on GSM and UMTS and need to
understand the basics
? Strategic and technical planners who want to drive the future GSM and UMTS develop-
ment
? Strategists who plan to repeat GSM’s success in the fourth generation
? Academics, who want to understand and analyse the development of GSM and UMTS;
? Activists in other large scale international communication projects who want to use
experiences gained
This preface is somewhat different from prefaces found in similar books because it does not
focus so much on the content of the book.We have instead chosen to write a few words about
our own experiences from working with telephony services over Internet Protocol (IP). Here
are our stories.
The following sections profile many of the vendors in the NFV market. The individual profiles were created
through a collaborative effort between SDNCentral’s Research Team and the Vendor’s product experts.
SDNCentral worked under the assumption the information provided by the vendors was factual, auditing the
submissions only to remove unverifiable claims and hyperbole. Extended profiles can be viewed online.
While every attempt has been made to validate the capabilities listed in the profiles, SDNCentral advises end
users to verify the veracity of each claim for themselves in their actual deployment environments. SDNCentral
cannot be held liable for unexpected operations, damages or incorrect operation due to any inaccuracies listed
here. SDNCentral welcomes feedback and additional information from end users based on their real-world
experiences with the products and technologies listed. The SDNCentral research team can be reached at
