Energy-Efficient Performance on the Client: A Proposed Measurement Methodology 2007-09-01 Intel

It is clear that the industry needs to implement energy-efficient performance measurement tools that provide meaningful results to end users. Although there are industry organizations that have started to look at this, in the interim Intel is proposing a methodology for comparing Intel platforms. This methodology isn't intended to be the final word, but rather the beginning of an industry discussion on a methodology to meaningfully gauge energy efficiency at a given performance level on the client PC. Intel will engage with industry consortia and government agencies to help foster the process of arriving at an industry-created methodology that can be broadly adopted and used across the industry.

Using TRIOLE to Enable Delivery of Large-Scale Industrialized IT Services 2007-07-01 Fujitsu

Development and production methodologies in Japan have long been the envy of the rest of the industrialized world. With TRIOLE, Fujitsu Ltd. harnessed the essence of these practices to create a world-class process for the industrialization of product-based IT solutions within their regional markets. In 2003 a joint UK and Japanese team was formed to bring the effectiveness of TRIOLE to bear in the radically different and services-dominated UK IT environment. The goals were to understand if such an obviously effective set of principles could provide insights that would improve customers' long-term service experiences in the UK, demonstrate close and effective collaboration between the UK and Japan.

Effect of the Hydraulic Piping Topology on Energy Demand and Comfort in Buildings With Tabs 2007-06-14 Siemens

A research project on the control and design of Thermally Activated Building Systems (TABS) has been started in May 2004. This paper presents one selected result after three years of work: Decision guidance and recommendations for HVAC design engineers regarding how to select an energy-efficient hydraulic piping topology for TABS. The hydraulic piping system in TABS basically can be separated in a heating and cooling generation part, a distribution part and the consumer part which consists of several individually supplied zones. The heating and cooling demand of the zones is different from zone to zone and time-dependent. In this paper, two hydraulic piping topologies commonly used for TABS are analyzed in terms of energy consumption, resulting thermal comfort and understandability.

MASHUPS: Understanding Mashup Building Platforms for Business Applications 2007-06-01 Proto Software

This paper explores trends past, current, and future in the mashup space and surveys the types of tools used to build and distribute mashups. The goal is to develop a set of criteria for the reader to use when evaluating mashup platforms for the development of business applications. Where appropriate, analogies to existing technologies and methodologies are employed. However, the paper's intent is to introduce and clarify the various layers of technology in the mashup space, not to make relative value judgments or to advocate particular vendors' solutions.

Successful Implementation of Model Driven Architecture: A Case Study of How Borland Together MDA Technologies Were Successfully Implemented in a Large Commercial Bank 2007-06-01 Borland Software

One of the challenges faced by enterprise-scale software development is the effective design of systems to support ever-changing business capabilities in a timely manner. Enterprise-system design has evolved from merely writing high-level documentation and diagrams, to architecting complex frameworks. The Model Driven Architecture (MDA) paradigm, managed by the Object Management Group (OMG), is an approach that seeks to address the increasing complexity in enterprise-system design. It is not a radical departure from performing system design, but an evolutionary step that combines various technologies for a more effective software development process.

Flexible EPM Tool Helps Russian Subsidiary Support Employees and Manage Expenses 2007-05-01 Microsoft

Siemens Russia works in partnership with companies from a diverse range of sectors - from telecommunications to advanced hearing technology. Siemens relies on its project management systems to record billing data and guide planning and developments. The company decided to pilot the Microsoft Enterprise Project Management system and expects to improve project reporting across its departments.

Capturing Project Development Success 2007-05-01 Microsoft

With ever-increasing market pressure to deliver more business value in shorter timelines, IT departments and software development organizations are always seeking ways to improve productivity, build applications that are aligned with customer needs, and improve the competitive advantage of their organizations. Today, many organizations are putting a focus on the front end of the application development lifecycle, starting with the gathering and documentation of effective requirements. The capture and communication of good business requirements is critical to the success of the final project. After all, effective requirements define what the application should do for its users. Capturing accurate, well-defined, and complete requirements also lays the foundation for a more productive and traceable development process.
