Technology, especially multimedia technology, is changing the way we tell stories. We are all familiar with letters, articles, and books, but new Internet technology has led to two novel forms of storytelling that we call micro stories and mega stories. Micro stories are the short bits of text and images that we use to tell our friends about our daily life, what we had for lunch, and the funny ...

The lead article in this forum, ‘The challenges and opportunities for mega-infrastructure projects archaeology’, by J. Carver, brought a couple of London incidents to mind, the two separated slightly more than generation, but each pertaining ‘urban’, or rather any ‘mega-stratified’ sites, dense stratification many contexts is result minor mega infrastructure Past.

In this paper, the seismic responses control characteristics of Mega-structure, Mega-sub Controlled Structure System (MSCSS) without dampers and MSCSS inserted friction dampers are investigated respectively under rare earthquake by using the elastic-plastic time history analysis method. The distribution of plastic hinges and different control efficiency of these structures under rare earthquake...

In this paper we propose a workpractice approach towards operationalizing the coordination of mega-projects. The approach matured over several years in development practice at Ericsson, a major supplier of telecommunication products and services worldwide. Key points in the approach are the management of critical dependencies and the construction of a communal understanding on how to coordinate...

Over the last forty years, the Brazilian Amazon has been the object of many development and industrialization programs. The vast majority of those programs have been “mega-projects” implemented by the Brazilian federal government. Recently, several states have implemented their own style of economic development programs in the Amazon. These smaller scale “local” sustainable development programs...

mega is a mixed-initiative system with the ultimate purpose of supporting theorem proving in main-stream mathematics and mathematics education. The current system consists of a proof planner and an integrated collection of tools for formulating problems, proving subproblems, and proof presentation.

Remote sensing technologies have long since been relegated to the implementation of airborne, or spaceborne configurations. We recognize that distributed sensors in all configurations can contribute to improved sensor performance and expanded measurement configurations. These new sensor systems require designs that can be scaled to hundreds to potentially thousands of individual sensors or sens...
