The government “enterprise” consists of a complex set organizations with multitude goals and values, serving an equally diverse group constituents. Because this complexity, governing technology data to support Artificial Intelligence (AI) capability has proven be difficult task that –according experts– requires systems perspective in its design implementation. In paper, we take conceptual appro...

By focusing on today’s highly competitive and rapidly changing business environment, this study theorizes how organizations can create their dynamic capability from the utilization of information technology (IT) resources. The organizational exploitation and exploration perspective is adopted as the central theoretical basis of this study. A reflection on the exploitation and exploration of org...

This article reports on a case-based, longitudinal study of the micro-foundations business sustainability development in Royal Bank Scotland (RBS) turbulent years between 2002 and 2012. The proposes an emerging 3-i process model, mapping role bounded, shared, embedded intentionality; operational, functional, strategic integration; constraining, accelerating, stabilizing institutionality as they...

Texas Instrument's DLP Technology enables highly-efficient, next-generation, full-color, large field-of-view Automotive Head-Up Display (HUD) systems with augmented reality capability. The uniqueness of DLP Technology makes it possible to solve common design challenges of Head-Up Display systems including managing environmental extremes and thermal loading, delivering high brightness and high r...

We report a newly developed high speed 1050nm spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) system for imaging posterior segment of human eye. The system is capable of an axial resolution at ~10 µm in air, an imaging depth of 6.1 mm in air, a system sensitivity fall-off at ~6 dB/3mm and an imaging speed of 120,000 A-scans per second. We experimentally demonstrate the system's capability...

The Taguchi method is a useful technique to improve the performance of products or processes at a lower cost and in less time. This procedure can be categorized in the static and dynamic quality characteristics. The optimization of multiple responses has received increasing attention over the last few years in many manufacturing organizations.  Several approaches dealing with multiple static q...

Dynamic compaction (DC) is a widely used soil improvement method in dry and/or saturated soils. The design of DC treatment is usually carried out based on the past experiences and empirical relations. In order to clarify the ambiguities in DC processes, numerical modeling of DC in dry granular soils has been considered using a dynamic finite element code. Using the developed model, two design c...

An important aspect of agent autonomy is the decision making capability of the agents. We discuss several issues that agents need to deliberate about in order to decide which action to perform. We assume that there is no unique (rational or universal) deliberation process and that the deliberation process can be specified in various ways. The deliberation process is investigated from two perspe...

The localization capability of a mobile robot is central to basic navigation and map building tasks. We describe a probabilistic environment model which facilitates global localization scheme by means of location recognition. In the exploration stage the environment is partitioned into several locations, each characterized by a set of scale-invariant keypoints. The descriptors associated with t...
