Use Their Terminology -- Not Yours by Harwell Thrasher
A few months ago I was a speaker in front of a group of CIOs, discussing some of the issues facing IT organizations. One of the CIOs asked me what he could do to better communicate his problems to his business users, who seemed to have trouble understanding the difficulties associated with... I identified virtual classrooms for training, a “history department” that keeps records of the buildings the firm has designed in the past, a virtual library of white papers and presentations, an engineering library of details for Computer Aided Design (CAD), and even a transit station for “public...

On-Demand Workforce Management Software Development Life-Cycles by Akash Dave
This article explores the need for Software Development Life-Cycles as Software Engineering Methodologies, the genesis and structure of PDLC, and its impact in the overall business of on-demand software organizations.

Artificial Intelligence and Use of Appendix Archiving Systems for Memory Storage by Lance Winslow
Data Storage for artificial intelligence is a crucial issue and indeed quite serious as artificial intelligent systems will be programming themselves. This means that each time they make a new page of data sets perhaps in an XML spreadsheet, to be used as part of the decision matrix for future... Should this data be discarded or remain? ... If it is discarded by perhaps may be some day needed for a future task to prevent the artificially intelligent machine from starting from scratch, it is important to trash can the data sets into an area that is still fully linked by the archival...

Feature Overload-Why are Consumer Electronics So Complicated? by Reid Neubert
It seems like everything is so complicated these days, especially anything electronic … which is more and more products everyday. Why are they so complex? "Hey, our cell phone takes pictures, sharpens knives, mows the lawn, pays your bills, steers your car, and cooks dinner, all by voice... When I was in the software industry and we were working on the next versions of software products, the programmers would sometimes come and say, "Hey I can add such-and-such feature with only 100 lines of code," or some such number.

Collaborative Modelling Using Ontologies by Peter Hale
The main area of study for this research is the enabling of users such as engineers to model the problems they encounter in manufacturing and design. However the wider aim is to prototype research for enabling a much larger range of software users to model their problems. ... The intention for this main prototype is to facilitate full communication between software applications and so make it easier for engineers and others to collaborate and co-ordinate their product design and manufacture. ... Code and information are only separated out as a matter of design choice to aid human...

Tips for Designing ZigBee Applications by John Sawyer
So you think you want to develop a ZigBee application, but you have some questions. What’s important in a ZigBee development? What tools do I need? What steps are involved? How much time will it take? What kind of investment is required? What are the unforeseen questions? ... As the owner of the design, you will be responsible for submitting the product for compliance testing, adjusting the design as needed to pass, and filing the final design with the appropriate agency. ... A module design also requires more physical space inside the housing and imposes more constraints on the industrial...

User Driven Modelling - Background Information by Peter Hale
Explanation of the Problem to be Addressed Research Aim This research arises out of work to create systems to facilitate management of design and cost related knowledge within those organisations, with the aim of using this knowledge to reduce the costs of manufacturing products. ... Why a different approach is needed User involvement is important in the development of software but a domain expert does not necessarily possess expertise in software development, and a software developer cannot have expertise in every domain to which software might apply.

Color Inkjets by Richard Romando
Color inkjets are perfect for small companies or private parties. Color printers have enabled computer-users to engender and turn out color documents in artistic and vibrant ways.

Branded inkjet cartridges are expensive compared to laser cartridges but a growing number of thrifty consumers resort to...

Computer Graphics by Sharon White
Before speaking about computer graphics let us define what this concept stands for. Computer graphics is the area of visual computing, where both to generate visual imagery and to mix visual information copied from the reality. Further this concept will be revised deeply. ... Many specialized software/CAD packages have become available dealing with particular aspects of the minerals field, such as geology, mine design or land reclamation. ... Major software houses have kept pace with these advances developing software which utilizes the technology available.
