We present a framework for extraction and prediction of online workload data from a workload manager of a mainframe operating system. To boost overall system performance, the prediction will be incorporated into the workload manager to take preventive action before a bottleneck develops. Model and feature selection automatically create a prediction model based on given training data, thereby ke...

This paper has as its objective to put forward a profile for the ‘manager of the future’. It draws on a review of the literature and on a series of unstructured interviews with 12 trainers, recruiters, directors and young graduates. Research carried out in large global companies in the fields of industry and multimedia confirms the under-exploitation of certain competences and the immergence of...

Numerous technological innovations, including material and process changes such as high–k gate dielectrics and metal gate electrodes, are investigated to meet the upcoming scaling requirements while keeping the gate leakage current within tolerable limits [1]. To overcome the technological problems, further theoretical and experimental research is needed which requires an extensive use of compu...

A planar double gate quantum wire transistor (QWT) is proposed and demonstrated. The transistor uses a narrow wire gate placed inside the gap of a split gate to create a single one-dimensional ( 1D) quantum wire (QW) . We demonstrate theoretically and experimentally that the wire gate can create a QW potential with a better confinement and therefore larger subband separations than that in other...

The existing evidence shows that parental engagement is one of the most effective educational interventions. Most parents, carers, and teachers are aware wish to engage with their children’s education. However, parents still only peripherally involved through parent–teacher evenings, school activities, or by helping children keep up homework. In this review paper, we summarize about impact enga...

Scaling of single-gate MOSFET faces great challenges in the nanometer regime due to the severe shortchannel effects that cause an exponential increase in the sub-threshold and gate-oxide leakage currents. Double-gate FinFET technology mitigates these limitations by the excellent control over a thin silicon body by two electrically coupled gates. In this paper a variable threshold voltage keeper...

Building on the work of the TIPSTER architecture group, the University of Sheeeld Natural Language Processing group have developed GATE, a General Architecture for Text Engineering. GATE implements the TIPSTER document manager, and adds a rich set of graphical tools for the management of modules and the data they produce and consume, and the visualisation of data. This paper classiies and revie...
