Off shoring IT services has become a key factor in building successful business strategies, allowing companies to better position themselves in today's highly competitive markets. Nevertheless, off shoring brings to the table a brand new set of possibilities and risks regarding its management and execution. This article presents a method for the elaboration of a quantitative risk model for off shoring IT applications, which, in turn, increases the likelihood of being successful in such initiatives.
Nanoscale porous silicon waveguides, both on silicon substrates and free-standing membranes, are explored for biosensing applications. Measured detection limits in the nanomolar range are reported for DNA sensing.

The effectiveness of the visual feedback to improve ability with the sense and muscular strength of human in our bicycle system was quantitatively verified in our study. Experiments were performed to find the factors related to the training of equilibrium sense. The subjects consisted of young and the aged and the group of young people was compared against the group of the aged. We investigated three different training modes, non-visual feedback (NVF), visual feedback of the weight (VFW), and visual feedback of the center of pressure (VFC) and measured the riding time and speed, the weight shift, and the center of pressure (COP) for twenties and seventies. The results showed that the running capability of the young and the aged became much better after repeated training. In addition, it was found out that the ability to control postural balance and the capability of equilibrium sense were improved with the presentation of the visual feedback information. These results will be effective in the diagnosis of equilibrium sense and vestibular function with the aged.

This paper presents an implementation of a P2P Web Browser, called We2Peer(1), for publishing web pages on internet through peer-to-peer networks. The present proposal overcomes the problems involving entities dependency and content availability, by the user side, changing the conventional way used to publish web pages on Internet The proposed solution allows anyone who has a computer connected to the Internet, even through domestic ADSL connection, to publish web pages on their own machines. By using a peer-to-peer web browser another mechanism for searching web pages is offered based on DHT (Distributed Hash Tables). The user interface, provided by Web2Peer, carries all functions needed for creating, editing, publishing, searching, downloading and replicating the web pages on the peer-to-peer network.

A fuzzy version of an Evolutionary Algorithm for Clustering (EAC) proposed in, previous work is introduced. This algorithm uses a fuzzy cluster validity criterion and a fuzzy local search algorithm instead of their hard counterparts employed by EAC. It is shown by means of theoretical complexity analyses that this algorithm can be more efficient than systematic (i.e. repetitive) approaches when the number of clusters is unknown. An illustrative example with computational experiments and statistical analyses is also presented.

The competitive advantage of organizations is more and more related to the competence of the workers and to the capacity the organization shows in improving the organizational learning. computer-supported learning (CSL) contributes to improve the organizational learning by supporting the knowledge sharing process. Sharing knowledge, however, is not sufficient to increase the intellectual capital of an organization. It is necessary to share the kind of knowledge that can be useful to add value to the organization business. This kind of knowledge can be identified and mapped by applying knowledge management (KM) processes. However, although positive effects of a comprehensive approach that addresses both CSL (formal learning) and KM (informal learning) could seem obvious, and despite the fact that organizations are starting to perceive the interrelations among CSL and KM, these integrations ideas are rarely implemented in practice and, in many cases, are not technologically operational. This paper fills in this gap by discussing how CSL can be useful for satisfying the requirements of KM.
In this paper, we develop an approach for robust model reference adaptive control of continuous-time MIMO linear dynamical systems in the presence of output disturbance. In comparison with earlier approaches in the li...
