whitepaper U.S. Air Force Trains for Long-Term Goals: Air Education and Training Command Maximizes Resources With SAS2006-06-14 01:00:26 SAS Institute
  Each year, the U.S. Air Force trains and educates more than 400,000 troops in hundreds of different career fields. Providing everything from flight school and graduate education to basic training and distance learning, the Air Education and Training Command (AETC) is responsible for replenishing the Air Force with trained and motivated personnel. But how does the AETC balance the military's evolving training needs with budgetary and resource constraints? Using SAS, the command's Studies and Analysis Squadron can instantly evaluate the long-term impact of any training or curriculum change and predict resource requirements for more than five years into the future.   
whitepaper Using Runtime Paths for Macro Analysis2006-06-02 01:00:29 Stanford University
  This paper introduces macro analysis, an approach used to infer the high-level properties of dynamic, distributed systems, and an indispensable tool when faced with tasks where local context and individual component details are insufficient. The paper presents a new methodology, runtime path analysis, where paths are traced through software components and then aggregated to understand global system behavior via statistical inference. The approach discussed in this paper treats components as gray boxes and complements existing micro analysis tools, such as code-level debuggers.   
whitepaper Reporting Against the Warehouse Builder Repository2006-07-04 04:33:17 Oracle
  A typical data warehouse project collects and maintains an enormous amount of information as the proposed schema is developed and deployed. In an ideal world all the information, relating to the whole project and the data warehouse life cycle, would be stored in a centralized repository. This centralization repository should support open APIs to allow query tools and desktop applications to query and report on the information and metadata contained within the repository. Only Oracle Warehouse Builder 10g Release 2 is able to provide a comprehensive set of public views that allow all aspects of a data warehouse project to be monitored at both operational and strategic levels.   
whitepaper Advanced Global Name Recognition Technology2006-12-14 10:55:17 IBM
  Despite many remarkable advances made in other areas of business automation, automated processing and matching of personal names in databases has languished for decades without significant theoretical or practical advances. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the issues, requirements, and technologies available for automated advanced name recognition.   
whitepaper TechNet Webcast: Introduction to Data Mining With SQL Server 2005 (Level 200)2006-05-19 01:00:28 Microsoft
  Microsoft SQL Server 2005 expands the data mining capabilities dramatically. This webcast introduces the possibilities of data mining and predictive analytics. Through this webcast one can learn about the data mining process, and the specific mining features in SQL Server 2005.   
whitepaper Energy Consumption in Data Analysis for On-Board and Distributed Applications2006-05-12 01:00:28 University of Maryland
  Energy consumption is an important issue in the growing number of data mining and machine learning applications for battery-powered embedded and mobile devices. It plays a critical role in determining the capabilities of a broad range of applications such as space probes with onboard scientific missions, PDA-based monitoring of remote data streams, event detection in sensor networks comprised of battery-powered data sensors and light-weight data processing nodes. This paper presents an experimental investigation of the energy consumption characteristics of different data analysis techniques.   
whitepaper Seeing the Big Picture in Business Intelligence2006-05-23 06:28:57 SAS
  Data integration, data management, reporting and analytics... All too often they are treated as separate projects or handled at a departmental level. The result: isolated solutions to isolated problems. Only a holistic approach can help you achieve maximum visibility and operational effectiveness throughout your entire business.   
whitepaper Becoming an Agile Developer With a 6th Sense2006-07-27 09:59:45 6th Sense Analytics
  In the book, My Job Went to India - 52 Ways to Save Your Job, the author argues that software developers need to understand the business case of software development. The most fundamental step is assessing the current value proposition as a developer. Then, based on that understanding, work to enhance the competitive position over time. Simply put: continue to learn, improve and grow the professional agility and overall competence. 6th Sense Analytics is the partner in this growing experience. A developer simply needs to bring the inquisitive interest and the company will provide the data for them to mine and explore - leading towards personal performance understanding and improvement.   
whitepaper A Spreadsheet Approach to Programming and Managing Sensor Networks2006-05-02 05:28:37
  The paper presents a spreadsheet approach to simplifying the process of managing, programming, and interacting with sensor networks and visualizing, archiving and retrieving sensor data. An Excel spreadsheet prototype has been built to demonstrate the idea. This environment provides Excel users, who are already familiar with spreadsheet applications, a convenient and powerful tool for programming and data analysis. The paper discusses the architecture of this prototype and the experience in implementing the tool and shows two different classes of sensor-net applications built using this platform and also presents performance data on the scalability of the tool with respect to data rate and number of data streams.   
whitepaper The Practical Union of OLAP Analysis and Geographic Mapping2006-05-04 03:25:43 SAS Institute
  Whether it is product sales, insurance rates, or credit card fraud, multidimensional data often contains a geographic dimension that allows analysis based on varying locations. In many cases, these locations are political boundaries such as country, state, province, or city. In other cases, the locations, or regions, are defined based on business rules such as sales territory, wireless coverage plans, or population-based Designated Market Areas (DMAs). In all cases, these defined regions provide a critical context for On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP) exploration and reporting. Coupling the power and flexibility of ArcGIS Server 9 with modern OLAP reporting tools, the "A" in "OLAP" has never looked so good.
