Economic globalization characterizes the 21st century. A digital world has replaced analog world. “ Time is money, and thinking money .” Thinking time are patentable. Branding a metaphor for lifestyle change. The “Big Brother” described by Orwell in his novel 1984 ” relevant today. We have moved from of thoughtful synthesis to one analysis mediated “likes,” “thumbs-up,” “opinion leaders.” Wine,...

The second World Wide Web generation is increasingly oriented to services. This generation is rich in requests for dynamic and personalised content, which represents an important segment of current internet traffic. E-business applications are a particular case of the dynamic web, where dynamism and personalisation play an important role in business strategy. Understanding the characteristics o...

Effective workflow scheduling is a key but challenging issue in heterogeneous environments due to the heterogeneity and dynamism. Based on the observations that not all tasks can run on all resources and acquired data transferring and queuing for a resource can be concurrent, we propose a dynamic resource-critical workflow scheduling algorithm which take into consideration the environmental het...

Dynamic bandwidth allocation for upstream transmission in EPONs has gathered significant attention. Maximizing utilization is inversely related to dynamic bandwidth allocation. We propose an auctioning mechanism for bandwidth allocation with a view to dissolution of the paradox between efficiency (utilization) and dynamism. While conventional bandwidth auctioning schemes pose efficiency as well...

This article suggests that dynamic capabilities can give the firm competitive advantage, but this effect is contingent on the level of dynamism of the firm’s external environment. A nonlinear, inverse U-shaped moderation is proposed, implying that the relationship between dynamic capabilities and competitive advantage is strongest under intermediate levels of dynamism but comparatively weaker w...

This work presents a procedural content generation system that uses an evolutionary algorithm in order to generate interesting maps for a real-time strategy game, called Planet Wars. Interestingness is here captured by the dynamism of games (i.e., the extent to which they are action-packed). We consider two different approaches to measure the dynamism of the games resulting from these generated...

BACKGROUND Physiological studies of perfectly still observers have shown interesting correlations between increasing effortfulness of observed actions and increases in heart and respiration rates. Not much is known about the cortical response induced by observing effortful actions. The aim of this study was to investigate the time course and neural correlates of perception of implied motion, by...

OF THE DISSERTATION A Multiobjective Approach for Addressing Dynamism and Heterogeneity in Parallel Scientific Simulations by SUMIR CHANDRA Dissertation Director: Professor Manish Parashar Scientific simulations offer the potential for accurate solutions of realistic models of complex physical phenomena. These simulations are based on systems of partial differential equations and are playing an...
