Applying Critical Chain to improve the management of uncertainty in projects
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
In an ever intensifying global competitive market, the management of projects, particularly product development efforts, increasingly is one of the few areas which can produce a sustained competitive advantage. Firms that ...
Product development process modeling and analysis of digital wireless telephones
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
Teledesic : a product, process, and supply chain design methodology
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
Development of a run by run control benchmarking and simulation system
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
As the semiconductor industry begins to move toward the introduction of fault detection and classification as well as run by run (RbR) process control methodologies, the identification of application scenarios and the means ...
Learning optimal discourse strategies in a spoken dialogue system
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
Participants in a conversation can often realize their conversational goals in multiple ways by employing different discourse strategies. For example, one can usually present requested information in various ways; different ...
An instruction scheduling algorithm for communication-constrained microprocessors
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
This thesis describes a new randomized instruction scheduling algorithm designed for communication-constrained VLIW-style machines. The algorithm was implemented in a retargetable compiler system for testing on a variety ...
Throughput analysis of input-queued packet switches : multicasting and speedup
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
The widespread use of new applications such as voice/video streaming, the WWW, and the MBone has caused an increased demand for bandwidth in the Internet. In response to this, Internet backbone speeds have increased to ...
JPS : a distributed persistent Java system
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
Distributed persistent object systems provide a convenient environment for applications that need to manage complex long-lived data. Since Java has no persistence model built into it, the tremendous growth in the popularity ...
Dramatic improvement of a mature process : proactive process improvement
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
Design and statistical analysis of fMRI experiments to assess human brain hemodynamic responses
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
The vast majority of previous functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies have used simple 'block' experimental designs. 'Block' designs are those designs in which the same stimulus is presented to the subject ...
