whitepaper Developing Sustainable Designs for Enduring Value2009-09-03 EGS Computers India
  Sustainable Designs are achievable for higher efficiency, lower cost and greater reliability. SolidWorks enables engineering enterprises in developing Better Designs for a Greener Earth. Every product designed, leaves an indelible imprint on the social, economic and environmental fabric of the society. In a global market with expanding horizons, the product has far reaching implications across the entire world. Simple considerations in design can result in enormous savings in 'World-Wealth' that future generations deserve.   
whitepaper Persona-Based BPM: Filling in the Missing Links in Process Management2009-09-01 Global 360
  BMP can be transformational but far too often it is not because there are missing links in the common approach to process that limits results for the majority of initiatives. This whitepaper shows how to fill in the missing links by addressing the personal perspectives of the people involved in the BPM process.

whitepaper Change Is Hard: Adapting Dependency Graph Models for Unified Diagnosis in Wired/Wireless Networks2009-08-21 Association for Computing Machinery
  Organizations world-wide are adopting wireless networks at an impressive rate, and a new industry has sprung up to provide tools to manage these networks. Unfortunately, these tools do not integrate cleanly with traditional wired network management tools, leading to unsolved problems and frustration among the IT staff. The paper explores the problem of unifying wireless and wired network management and shows that simple merging of tools and strategies, and/or their trivial extension from one domain to another does not work. Building on previous research on network service dependency extraction, fault diagnosis, and wireless network management, the paper introduces MnM, an end-to-end network management system that unifies wired and wireless network management. MnM treats the physical location of end devices as a core component of its management strategy.

whitepaper Convergence Speed of Binary Interval Consensus2009-08-01 Microsoft
  This paper considers the speed of convergence of an instance of the binary interval consensus, a distributed and decentralized algorithm for computing the quantized average value. With binary consensus problem, each node initially holds one of two states and the goal for each node is to correctly decide which one of the two states was initially held by the majority of nodes. The paper derives an upper bound on the expected convergence time that holds for arbitrary connected graphs; it is based on the location of the eigenvalues of some contact rate matrices. The paper instantiates the bound for particular networks of interest, including complete graphs, star-shaped networks, and Erdos-Renyi random graphs, and in the former two cases compare with alternative computations.

whitepaper Boosting Performance in the Retail Industry2009-07-28 Microsoft
  Retailers today are in tight competition for every consumer dollar. In an environment where people are hesitant to spend their money, giving them a superior experience can make the difference between a visitor to the Web site and a customer. The Bing Maps for Enterprise platform can help one deliver an immersive experience that distinguishes the site, engages site visitors, and helps make it easy for them to find the locations, products, services, and events. In addition to providing rich experiences on the customer-facing Web site, Bing Maps is an equally powerful business intelligence tool. With Bing Maps, one can overlay data on a map and view the data in a geographical context for decision making.

whitepaper Information Visualization With Text Data Mining for Knowledge Discovery Tools in Bioinformatics2009-07-18 Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology
  An abundant amount of information is produced in the digital domain, and an effective Information Extraction (IE) system is required to surf through this sea of information. This paper shows that an interactive visualization system works effectively to complement an IE system. In particular, three-Dimensional (3D) visualization can turn a data-centric system into a user-centric one by facilitating the human visual system as a powerful pattern recognizer to become a part of the IE cycle. Because information as data is multidimensional in nature, 2D visualization has been the preferred mode. However, one argues that the extra dimension available for them in a 3D mode provides a valuable space where one can pack an orthogonal aspect of the available information.

whitepaper Using Clustered File System Software for Superior Application Availability2009-07-01 IDG (International Data Group)
  Managers across organizations of all types and sizes would prefer not to experience downtime, but that might not be realistic expectation. Organizations for which downtime - say, even 20 minutes - is a costly proposition have the option of using a clustered file system to deliver faster failover and less downtime than is possible using some of more traditional high-availability approaches. Deploying a cluster file system and running clustered services on top of it can simplify the failover process, reduce time to operation, and reduce the costs associated with application downtime. These benefits are achieved by delivering truly shared storage across a series of locally or geographically distributed nodes that eliminate the need to go through all those steps that take up so much time.

whitepaper Discovering Devices: Using HP Web Jetadmin 10.22009-06-01 Hewlett-Packard (HP)
  Discovery features enable HP Web Jetadmin 10.2 to find both network-connected and PC-connected printers and Multi-Function Peripherals (MFPs) and then add them to the HP Web Jetadmin 10.2 All Devices list. In many cases, the administrator may have information about the network that can be used in HP Web Jetadmin 10.2 discovery settings. Some discovery features enable the administrator to search for devices without the benefit of networking details. A powerful discovery engine exists within HP Web Jetadmin 10.2 enabling administrators to locate most devices on both small and large networks. Web Jetadmin 10.2 includes a new discovery for printers located in Active Directories. Scheduling and discovery templates allow administrators to tailor HP Web Jetadmin 10.2 features to any topology or geographically deployed printer fleet.

whitepaper Missing data: the hidden problem - Draw more valid conclusions with SPSS Missing Value Analysis2009-06-01 SPSS
  Just about everyone doing analysis has some missing data, especially survey researchers, market researchers, database analysts, researchers and social scientists. Missing data includes questions without answers or variables without observations. Even a small percent of missing data can cause serious problems with your analysis leading you to draw wrong conclusions. This white paper presents a case study demonstrating how missing data can affect your analysis and the decisions you make based on your results. It uses PASW Missing Values to overcome a missing data problem to make better decisions.
