Renoise (exe): Renoise is a pattern based Music Tracker, Sequencer and Sampler with VST support. Renoise is rooted in a different approach to making music than most sequencers on the market today. This approach is known as tracking. Perhaps most characteristic of tracking is the sequencer having a vertical timeline.; Tags: Approach, Renoise; Software downloads 2007-03-21
An Advanced approach to Task Reminders and Escalations: A Workflow Design Pattern: Adobe LiveCycle provides a mechanism for sending of notifications and reminders to task assignees, as well as managing escalations and deadlines. All this functionality is built into the User QPAC. However, sometimes the level of sophistication required by particular processes exceeds the control available in the User QPAC, and so...; Tags: Adobe LiveCycle, Design Pattern, Approach, Escalation, Sophistication, Workflow, Process Improvement, Quality, Business Operations; White papers 2006-10-01
Contract-First Web Services With Apache Axis2: When implementing Web services, there are two alternative development paths one can take: the code-first approach and the contract-first approach. This paper drills down into the contract-first approach in detail and shows how the Axis2 code generator can be used to generate code for the server side with the contract-first...; Tags: Approach, Apache Software Foundation, Web Services, Open Source, Enterprise Software, Software; White papers 2006-08-08
White paper: IBM WebSphere Extended Deployment: Providing enhanced infrastructure capabilities for SOA environments: Scale-out and distributed computing continues to gain prominence across the IT infrastructure landscape. Architectural approaches built on this kind of foundation offer inherent advantages, including the potential for price performance economic benefits and greater flexibility. However, management, availability and throughput concerns can quickly outweigh these associated benefits. As a result,...; Tags: IBM WebSphere, Environment, Approach, SOA, IBM Corp., Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), Benefits, Middleware, Enterprise Software, Web Services, Software, Human Resources; White papers 2006-06-01

Memory SSA - A Unified approach for Sparsely Representing Memory Operations: Static Single Assignment (SSA) provides a sparse data-flow representation for scalars, but its not well suited for representing objects of aggregate types like structures and arrays, or other memory operations like pointer dereferences and global storage. Several approaches have been proposed to incorporate memory operations into SSA [2, 4, 8,...; Tags: Approach, Memory, Memory Operation, Static Single Assignment, Open Source; White papers 2006-02-24
A Compositional approach to the Stochastic Dynamics of Gene Networks: This paper proposes a compositional approach to the dynamics of gene regulatory networks based on the stochastic ð-calculus, and develop a representation of gene network elements which can be used to build complex circuits in a transparent and efficient way. To demonstrate the power of the approach it applies it...; Tags: Network, Approach, Gene, Springer Science+Business Media, Networking; White papers 2006-02-18
Propositional Satisfiability and Constraint Programming: A Comparative Survey: Propositional SaTisfiability (SAT) and Constraint Programming (CP) have developed as two relatively independent threads of research, cross-fertilising occasionally. These two approaches to problem solving have a lot in common, as evidenced by similar ideas underlying the branch and prune algorithms which are most successful at solving both kinds of problems....; Tags: Approach, Survey, Programming, Engineering, Marketing Research, Development Tools, Benefits, Marketing, Software Development, Software/Web Development, Human Resources; White papers 2005-10-01

Information Services for Grid/Web Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) Based Geospatial Applications: This paper presents an approach combining domain-specific registry capabilities of WRS and WS-I compatible UDDI Specifications. The authors extend UDDI Information Model to support geospatial services. The approach supports not only quasi-static, stateless metadata, but also more extensive metadata requirements of rich interacting systems. The implementation of the approach is...; Tags: Approach, Information Service, Indiana University, UDDI, GIS, Web Services, Enterprise Software, Software; White papers 2005-07-06
Soft Real-Time Acquisition in Windows XP: This paper presents two possible approaches for a soft real-time acquisition under Windows XP. The first approach is based on a high priority thread and the second one on a local advanced programmable interrupt controller (LAPIC). Robustness was evaluated on unloaded and loaded system. In order to assess real-time system...; Tags: Acquisition, Approach, Microsoft Windows, Mergers & Acquisitions, Microsoft Windows XP, Corporate Law, Operating Systems, Software, Investment, Finance, Business Operations; White papers 2005-05-02
Interactive Authoring Support for Adaptive Educational Systems: A well-known challenge of adaptive educational systems is the need to develop intelligent content, which is very time and expertise consuming. In traditional approaches a teacher is kept at a distance from intelligent authoring. This paper advocates the involvement of teachers in creating intelligent content.

Satellites seeing clearly despite clouds: Two researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have developed a mathematical tweak which dramatically improves air pollution detection on cloudy days. They've found a way to reduce cloud-induced glare when satellites measure blue skies on cloudy days, by as much as ten-fold in some cases. 'Because clouds represent one...; Tags: Wavelength, Pollution, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Satellite, Network Technology, Networking, Roland Piquepaille; Blog posts 2008-05-13
