Analytical methods: the next frontier towards nonlinear science

Asymptotic methods: The next frontier towards nonlinear science

where the unknown constants a, b and ω can be determined by substituting (4) into (1). For practical problems, we can not obtain such a good initial condition like Eq. (3), sometimes the measured initial/boundary conditions have to be expressed in approximate forms, and sometimes only some point values on boundaries can be measured, we call these problems as approximate initial/boundary conditi...

Behavior Change Support Systems: The Next Frontier for Web Science

The new generation of the web has opened up opportunities for developing new kinds of information systems for influencing users. For instance, one of the most prominent areas for future healthcare improvement is the role of the web in fostering improved health and healthier lifestyles. The success or failure of web information systems seems to rely on their social features. For this reason, a b...

Statistical Methods Applied to EVM . . . the Next Frontier

An objective of Earned Value Management (EVM) is to provide a means for predicting the outcome of a project. Inherently, the outcome is largely determined in the planning, and of course completion forecasting commonly occurs with analysis of project performance. Having the project plan, management would like to be able to quantify its risk What is the likelihood for having a successful project ...

Reliability: the next frontier

The goal of my graduate research has been finding architectural solutions to key technological challenges facing processor design that impact reliability, power, and performance of multicores. The rapidly shrinking feature sizes provided by the Moore’s Law with each successive technology generation make the devices on a chip increasingly susceptible to soft errors, hard errors, process variatio...
