Page 688 - Concepts covered by this model include systems engineering, software engineering, integrated product and process development, and supplier sourcing as well as traditional CMM concepts such as process management and project management (Figure 6).
Page 797 - ... Camungao and the Zangjera Dibua with regard to sharing the diversion dams and main canal. There are, however, no written agreements between the Zangjera Camungao and the other zangjeras regarding the various other intersocietal arrangements mentioned. Whether such "contracts" are written or simply verbal should not be taken as an indication of the relative importance of one agreement over another. All such contracts have relative and immediate importance with regard to the particular needs and...
Page 692 - In general, case studies are the preferred strategy when 'how' or 'why' questions are being posed, when the investigator has little control over events, and when the focus is on a contemporary phenomenon within some real-life context.
Page 698 - The Dublin Core Metadata Initiative is an open forum engaged in the development of interoperable online metadata standards that support a broad range of purposes and business models.

In conjugate gradient methods, a new search direction spoils as little as possible the minimization achieved by the previous direction, and the step size is adjusted during every iteration.
Page 669 - ... the customer. The negotiation follows rule-based strategies that are computed locally by its host server. Here competing offers are to be considered; occasionally cooperation may be required. Special rules may be needed to take care of risk factors, domain knowledge dependencies between attributes, positive and negative end conditions. When making a transaction several agents have to negotiate and converge to some final set of values that satisfies their common goal. Such a goal should also be...
Page 118 - First, it presents a comprehensive tutorial on hierarchical classification, discussing the main approaches and different techniques developed for solving these problems. Second, it discusses how concepts and methods from hierarchical classification have been applied to a very challenging and important DM problem in bioinformatics, namely the prediction of protein function. The remainder of this chapter is organized as follows. The second section presents a gentle introduction to the problem of protein...
Page 486 - ... strategy that is used by the user's agent to evaluate bids. In doing this the user has considerable flexibility first in defining payoff and second in specifying the strategy itself. Practical strategies in manual systems can be quite elementary; delegation is a job which some humans are not very good at. A delegation strategy may attempt to balance some of the three conflicting principles: maximising payoff, maximising opportunities for poor performers to improve and balancing workload. Payoff...
