Questionnaire-based variability modeling for system configuration

Variability management is a recurrent issue in systems engineering. It arises for example in enterprise systems, where modules are configured and composed to meet the requirements of individual customers based on modifications to a reference model. It also manifests itself in the context of software product families, where variants of a system are built from a common code base. This paper proposes an approach to capture system variability based on questionnaire models that include order dependencies and domain constraints. The paper presents analysis techniques to detect circular dependencies and contradictory constraints in questionnaire models, as well as techniques to incrementally prevent invalid configurations by restricting the space of allowed answers to a question based on previous answers. The approach has been implemented as a toolset and has been used in practice to capture configurable process models for film post-production.

遥感图像全色锐化的卷积神经网络方法研究进展

随着计算机科学、遥感科学和大数据科学等领域的迅速发展,基于卷积神经网络的方法在图像处理、计算机视觉等任务上发挥着越来越重要的作用。而在遥感图像全色锐化领域,卷积神经网络由于其优秀的融合效果,已得到研究学者的广泛关注并有大量的研究成果产生。尽管如此,依然有一些亟待解决的问题,例如缺乏全色锐化数据集的仿真细节描述、公平公开的训练—测试数据集、简单易懂的统一代码编写框架等。对此,本文主要从以下几方面回顾当前遥感图像全色锐化问题在卷积神经网络方面的一些进展,并针对前述问题发布相关数据集和代码编写框架。1)详细介绍7种典型的基于卷积神经网络的全色锐化方法,并在统一数据集上进行公平比较(包括与典型传统方法的比较);2)详细介绍训练—测试数据集的仿真细节,并发布相关卫星(如WorldView-3, QuickBird, GaoFen2,WorldView-2)的全色锐化训练—测试数据集;3)针对本文介绍的7种基于卷积神经网络的方法,发布基于Pytorch深度学习库的Python代码统一编写框架,便于后来初学者入门、开展研究以及公平比较;4)发布统一的全色锐化传统—深度学习方法MATLAB测试软件包,...     

IP address allocation protocols in vehicular ad hoc networks

In vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs), communication takes place between vehicles to vehicles, the vehicles to the road side units, and vice-versa. The basic purpose of these communications is to share and exchange tremendous amount of data and information. For efficient information sharing, a systematic and structured connection establishment algorithm is needed. In VANETs, each connected node of the network need to be assigned a unique address. Hence, an algorithm is needed for the proper assignment of unique address to all nodes in the network. This paper explains different types of IP address protocols in VANETs. We have also explained advantage and disadvantage of existing IP address allocation protocols in VANETs.

Driving business performance: innovation complementarities and persistence patterns

Complementarities between technological and non-technological innovation are crucial determinants of firm performance. Although innovation complementarity has been extensively tested in the empirical literature, it has not been analysed in conjunction with innovation persistence. This fact is mainly due to the lack of data sets able to provide adequate longitudinal information. The capacities to develop market-oriented behaviour and introduce new organisational innovations, together with technological innovation, are the drivers of a firm’s productivity and profitability. We find that these activities complement technological innovation and that their impact is greater when they persist over time, thus introducing a more general concept of innovation persistence. We present an empirical model based on a large new panel of Italian manufacturing firms covering the period 2000–2012 which enables us to determine the precise impacts of a firm’s innovative attitude, in a broad definition that incorporates non-technological innovation and persistence, on its productivity and profitability.

The Consumer Reports mental health survey.

Provides an overview of the 1995 Consumer Reports survey of the effectiveness of psychotherapy. Specific issues addressed include the study's goals; the findings for mental health professionals, family doctors, and self-help groups; and methodological strengths and weaknesses related to external validity, sampling, controls, self-reports, and time frame. The data show that, free of the artificial constraints of controlled studies in the real world, a population of consumers can often benefit from psychological intervention services. Real relief can be found at the hands of professional mental health providers. M. Kotkin et al reaffirm their independence from M. E. P. Seligman (see record 1996-13324-001) regarding the interpretation of the data. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

Errors in Seligman's "The effectiveness of psychotherapy: The Consumer Reports study."

Contends that there are 3 methodological errors and an inconsistency in M. E. P. Seligman's (see record 1996-13324-001) reanalysis of the 1995 Consumer Reports survey of the effectiveness of psychotherapy. These errors are directly relevant to the cost-effectiveness of psychotherapy. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)

Self-reported use of ICT (Information and communication technology) uptake in 2002 and discomfort amongst Finns aged 45-66

In recent years the use of new technical equipment and the Internet by middle-aged people has increased. This paper presents middle-aged people’s (45 years old or older) usage of new technical equipment and analyses how their (2704 persons) symptoms are associated with the equipment. Over 70% of Finland’s middle-aged population use mobile phones daily and less than 30% use desktop computers at leisure. For example, over 80% of middle-aged people had sometimes or often experienced pain, numbness or aches in the neck and about 70% had aches in the hip and lower back. The use of new technical equipment among the group of people who are outside working life was smaller than the people’s usage in general. In the future, when new technical equipment is developed, it is important to take into account, that people (outside working life) do not use, e.g., the Internet as much as people in general. The working environment will be much more ergonomic also at home and the Internet services will be easy to use for almost everyone, even those who have little experience or knowledge of computers and the Internet.
