Modeling and compensation of geometric errors in simultaneous cutting using a multi-spindle machine tool
(Springer-Verlag, 2006-01-18)
A volumetric error compensation method for a machining center that has multiple cutting tools operating simultaneously has been developed. Due to axis sharing, the geometric errors of multi-spindle, concurrent cutting ...
Runtime monitoring of timing constraints in distributed real-time systems
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1994-11)
Embedded real-time systems often operate under strict timing and dependability constraints. To ensure responsiveness, these systems must be able to provide the expected services in a timely manner even in the presence of ...
Adding value through human resources: Reorienting human resource measurement to drive business performance
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1997)
Building upon the balanced scorecard framework, this article addresses three central issues of human resource (HR) measurement: (1) Do HR practices impact business results? (2) How can HR practices add value to business ...

Feature signature prediction of a boring process using neural network modeling with confidence bounds
(Springer Verlag; Springer-Verlag London Limited, 2005-11-18)
Prediction of machine tool failure has been very important in modern metal cutting operations in order to meet the growing demand for product quality and cost reduction. This paper presents the study of building a neural ...
Adaptive inventory control models for supply chain management
(Springer-Verlag, 2005-10)
Uncertainties inherent in customer demands make it difficult for supply chains to achieve just-in-time inventory replenishment, resulting in loosing sales opportunities or keeping excessive chain-wide inventories. In this ...
Thermal error modelling for real-time error compensation
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag London Limited, 1996-07)
A modelling strategy for the prediction of both the scalar and the position-dependent thermal error components is presented. Two types of empirical modelling method based on the multiple regression analysis (MRA) and the ...
The twenty-first-century HR organization
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2008)
Like any value-creating staff function, HR departments should operate as a business within a business. Others have focused on the strategy and direction of HR departments. This article examines the next evolution for how ...
Cultural clashes in a “merger of equals”: The case of high‐tech start‐ups
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2011-09)
Mergers of equals are often considered simply symbolic. Whereas existing literature on the topic views equality as underscoring the importance of distributive justice, power, or identity, the role of culture remains ...
