whitepaper Understanding the Dynamic of Peer-to-Peer Systems2006-11-10 Peking University
  Though a few previous research efforts have investigated the peer availability of P2P systems, the understanding of peer dynamic is far from adequate. Based on the running log of a file-sharing P2P system, it produced a more thorough measurement of the dynamic natures of P2P system. This paper further shows that due to the methodology limitation, crawler based measurement can not precisely capture system dynamic natures as a whole. This paper also emphasizes some simple yet important dynamic metrics, which are omitted or neglected by previous studies because of state of the art in durability analysis at that time. By a fine-grained analysis on the preliminary findings, it reveal a series of useful implications for the design of P2P systems.

whitepaper Querying a Geographic Database Using an Ontology-Based Methodology2006-10-02 Universidade Federal do Rio G. Norte
  The work discussed in this paper presents a mechanism that allows different community users access the same geographic database without knowing its particular internal structure. The authors used geographic ontologies to support a common and shared understanding of a specific domain: the coral reefs. Using these ontologies descriptions that represent the knowledge of the different communities, mechanisms are created to handle with such different concepts. The authors used equivalent classes mapping, and a semantic layer that interacts with the ontologies and the geographic database, and that gives to the user the answers about his/her queries, independently of the used terms.

whitepaper Back to Basics - Practical Magic for Project Management Success0000-00-00 SAS Institute
  A number of articles, books, and conferences that tout a quick fix to project management challenges are staggering. There's a reason for it, though.

Senior executives want IT solutions that are cost effective and offer a quickly identifiable Return On Investment (ROI).
