One property of networks that has received comparatively little attention is hierarchy, i.e., the property of having vertices that cluster together in groups, which then join to form groups of groups, and so forth, up through all levels of organization in the network. Here, we give a precise definition of hierarchical structure, give a generic model for generating arbitrary hierarchical structu...

The challenge formulated in this paper is a direct reaction to the reviewer selection process of IJCAI 1997, which relied on an unintelli-gent string matching program. We challenge the AI community to implement an intelligent knowledge-based reviewer selection program for IJCAI 1999.

The two main elements of the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder Radiative Transfer Algorithm (AIRS-RTA) are described in this paper: 1) the fast parameterization of the atmospheric transmittances that are used to perform the AIRS physical retrievals and 2) the spectroscopy used to generate the parameterized transmittances. We concentrate on those aspects of the spectroscopy that are especially releva...

The international joint venture (IJV) is an important mode in the internationalization of smalland medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Internationalization in turn is an entrepreneurial behavior in the pursuit of growth. Partnering strategies in the formation of IJVs can have significant effects on the outcome of SMEs’ international expansion. In this study, we examine the performance implications...
