CI architectures are characterized by personnel, resources and tasks and the set of relationships linking them. This is the PCANSS formalism. A set of units – simulated and real – are represented in this way and a series of design metrics measured. Performance and adaptability measures are also captured. The data is then analyzed to examine whether there is a tradeoff between performance and ad...

The ability to detect and locate stationary and moving individuals through building wals from significant standof distances provides increased situational awareness and considerable tactical advantage to security and military personnel. This paper discusses the design, implementation and detection algorithms of an ultrawideband (UWB) compact standof imaging radar for through the wal detection a...

This study is the development of a usability test plan for implementation of an Enhanced 911 Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) system by emergency response dispatch centers. Enhanced 911 system technologies will allow emergency response personnel to locate cellular 911 callers in distress by pinpointing the latitude and longitude of their location, and mapping it through the use of a Geographic Inf...

In recent years there has been a growing interest in the impact of co-operative union±management relations on ®rm performance and organizational outcomes such as employee turnover and absenteeism. This paper seeks to identify the factors that affect the development of a co-operative industrial relations climate and analyses the effects of that climate on organizational and union allegiance and ...

This study examined the mediating role of service climate in the prediction of employee performance and customer loyalty. Contact employees (N=342) from 114 service units (58 hotel front desks and 56 restaurants) provided information about organizational resources, engagement, and service climate. Furthermore, customers (N=1,140) from these units provided information on employee performance and...

In this paper we investigate the reputational penalties to managers of firms announcing earnings restatements. More specifically, we examine management turnover and the subsequent employment of displaced managers at firms announcing earnings restatements during 1997 or 1998. In contrast to prior research (Beneish 1999; Agrawal et al. 1999), which does not find increased turnover following GAAP ...
