我国GNP的单位根不确定性研究

对于一个实际的时间序列数据,我们并不知道其真正的数据生成过程,只能通过假设和基于假设的统计推断来确定。本文利用蒙特卡罗模拟进行有限样本的ADF检验。结果表明,当原假设是存在单位根,备择假设是趋势稳定时,ADF检验的势很低。这意味着,我国GNP存在单位根是不确定的。     

一种新型的CMOS恒定电流源的设计

在一个模拟或者混合信号系统中,恒定电流源为电路提供偏置,它的稳定性直接决定了电路的性能。该文通过设计合适的电路,利用不同工艺条件下跨导参数K’和阈值电压Vt之间的变化关系来消除工艺变化对电流的影响。另外,通过一个随温度变化的电压源对电源电压和温度进行补偿。整个电路采用CSMC 0．5um双层多晶硅,双层金属标准工艺来设计．采用candence spectre进行模拟仿真,仿真结果证明电路对工艺,温度及电压的变化都具有良好的补偿能力。     

Software engineering as a scientific and engineering discipline

A new interpretation of software engineering from scientific, engineering, and practical standpoints is proposed. Software engineering is defined as a successor of programming and computer science, namely, its management theory. Features and attributes of software engineering as an original discipline are founded. The structure, content, and concepts of this discipline and its basic elements are presented. __________ Translated from Kibernetika i Sistemnyi Analiz, No. 3, pp. 19–28, May–June 2008.     

The impact of process standardization on business process outsourcing success

What is the impact of business process standardization on business process outsourcing (BPO) success? This paper argues that there is a direct impact of process standardization on BPO success, due to production cost economies, and also an indirect effect via improved contractual and relational governance resulting from better monitoring opportunities and facilitated communication and coordination. This threefold impact of standardization on BPO success is empirically confirmed using data from 335 BPO ventures in 215 German banks.     

Robust tracking control design for uncertain robotic systems with persistent bounded disturbances

In this study, a robust nonlinear L_∞‐gain tracking control design for uncertain robotic systems is proposed under persistent bounded disturbances. The design objective is that the peak of the tracking error in time domain must be as small as possible under persistent bounded disturbances. Since the nonlinear L_∞ ‐gain optimal tracking control cannot be solved directly, the nonlinear L_∞ ‐gain optimal tracking problem is transformed into a nonlinear L_∞ ‐gain tracking problem by given a prescribed disturbance attenuation level for the L_∞ ‐gain tracking performance. To guarantee that the L_∞ ‐gain tracking performance can be achieved for the uncertain robotic systems, a sliding‐mode scheme is introduced to eliminate the effect of the parameter uncertainties. By virtue of the skew‐symmetric property of the robotic systems, sufficient conditions are developed for solving the robust L_∞ ‐gain tracking control problems in terms of an algebraic equation instead of a differential equation. The proposed method is simple and the algebraic equation can be solved analytically. Therefore, the proposed robust L_∞ ‐gain tracking control scheme is suitable for practical control design of uncertain robotic systems.

Dataflow Architectures for GALS

In Kahn process network (KPN), the processes (nodes) communicate by unbounded unidirectional FIFO channels (arcs), with the property of non-blocking writes and blocking reads on the channels. KPN provides a semantic model of computation, where a computation can be expressed as a set of asynchronously communicating processes. However, the unbounded FIFO based asynchrony is not realizable in practice and hence requires refinement in real hardware. In this work, we start with KPN as the model of computation for GALS, and discuss how different GALS architectures can be realized. We borrow some ideas from existing dataflow architectures for our GALS designs.     

A confidence-based framework for business to consumer (B2C) mobile commerce adoption

The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) has been considered to be fundamental in determining the acceptance of new technology in the past decades. The two beliefs, ease of use and usefulness, in the model may not, however, fully explain the consumers’ behavior in an emerging environment, such as mobile commerce (m-commerce). This paper aims to develop a framework for m-commerce adoption in consumer decision-making processes. In this paper TAM has been adopted and extended to analyze successful m-commerce adoption. The key elements of the proposed confidence-based framework for B2C m-commerce adoption include psychological and behavioral factors. Psychological factors include history-based confidence, institution-based confidence and personality-based confidence. Behavioral factors include perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness of the mobile application and technology.     

Optimization strategy in the development process with application to cast components

At the development of commercial vehicles, it is necessary to develop cost-optimized components with respect to their entire lifetime. This requires a product development process that utilizes the possibility to simulate the product performance using modeling of different degrees of sophistication at any predefined level-of-detail (LOD). For example, the mechanical properties of a cast component depend strongly on the casting process, the simulation of which requires complex modeling at a high LOD. In this article, we propose an optimization strategy that is based on the LOD concept to develop cost-effective components. A sizing optimization of a cast model component is carried out with respect to both the mechanical and thermal response to exemplify the process. In particular, a (novel) global measure of the temperature in energy norm is introduced as an indicator of the “production fitness” to ensure high quality of the material properties. This measure is the thermal counterpart of the well-accepted mechanical strain energy.
