into webs of relationships with other VCs. Once they have invested in a company, VCs draw on their networks of service providers -head hunters, patent lawyers, investment bankers etc. -to help the company succeed (Gorman and Sahlman (1989), While the prevalence of networking in many financial markets has

The Live Access Server (LAS) has become a popular system with which to provide Web access to gridded data sets. With a simple web browser interface LAS users can i) specify the location, time and variable of interest, ii) request visualizations along principle axes and planes, and iii) download

Abstract—In cognitive radio networks (CRNs), detecting small-scale primary devices—such as wireless microphones (WMs)— is a challenging, but very important, problem that has not yet been addressed well. We identify the data-fusion range as a key factor that enables effective cooperative sensing

The Web is creating exciting new possibilities for direct and instantaneous publishing of information. However, the apparent ease with which one can publish documents on the Web hides more complex issues such updating and maintaining Web pages. We believe one of the crucial requirements to document

The current study investigates antecedents and outcomes of motivation to learn across nine Web-based courses. The results supported a cyclical model of motivational processes across courses in a training curriculum. Trainees' course expectations had a positive effect on motivation to learn

Many Web applications are based on dynamic interactions between Web components exchanging flows of information. Such a situa-tion arises for instance in mashup systems [22] or when monitoring distributed autonomous systems [6]. This is a challenging prob-lem that has generated recently a lot

with techniques for optimal utilization of information received from the middleware. 2.2 Estimation of the user’s context In our design, it is possible to merge the location information with different data from other sensors. The process is based on an extensible world model consisting of Mappers, which performs

ViTABaL-WS uses a “Tool Abstraction ” metaphor for describing relationships between service definitions, and multiple-views of data-flow, controlflow and event propagation in a modelled process. The tool supports the generation of Business Process Execution Language (BPEL
