development of techniques that yield performance across a range of current and future parallel machines. This paper offers a new parallel machine model, called LogP, that reflects the critical technology trends underlying parallel computers. It is intended to serve as a basis for developing fast, portable

of the relationships between information technology, people, and organizations. In this paper, we present two additional research philosophies for consideration-the interpretive and the critical-and for each we provide empirical examples to illustrate how they are used. We conclude by suggesting that much can

independent of the protocol used. Medium-grained applications, such as Water, can achieve good performance, but the choice of protocol is critical. For sixteen processors, the best protocol, lazy hybrid, performed more than three times better than the worst, the eager update. Fine-grained applications

AbstractÐTwo of the most critical requirements in support of producing reliable face-recognition systems are a large database of facial images and a testing procedure to evaluate systems. The Face Recognition Technology (FERET) program has addressed both issues through the FERET database of facial

Given the central role that software development plays in the delivery and application of information technology, managers are increasingly focusing on process improvement in the software development area. This demand has spurred the provision of a number of new and/or improved approaches

Engineering researchers in the areas of Advanced Architectures and Critical Technologies for Exascale Computing. Multi institutional proposals with cohesive emphasis on transformational discoveries that address key barriers on the path to exascale computing are encouraged. Partnerships among

content knowledge (PCK) to include technology knowledge. The development of TPACK by teachers is critical to effective teaching with technology. The paper begins with a brief introduction to the complex, illstructured nature of teaching. The nature of technologies (both analog and digital) is considered

This paper describes a systematic acquisition method of design knowledge. Systematic knowledge acquisition is possible based on a systematic design knowledge structure in a systematic work process of well matured software development organizations. The basis of the work process, design and design information, cognitive scienti#c views are explained and veri #ed quantitatively. Industrial practice on documentation is also evaluated, and the use of documents is rationalized. Consequently, a systematic way of using documents is explained. Keywords: Systematic Knowledge Acquisition, Hierarchical Work Process, Design Knowledge, Expert System 1. INTRODUCTION Knowledge based systems have opened a new era of using human knowledge. But it is said that they bring along two serious problems. One is the lack of a method of systematic acquisition of human experts' knowledge, and the other is the lack of a method of systematic construction of an expert system for reusing the knowledge. If systemat...
