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 ...
Supporting divide-and-conquer algorithms for image processing
(Elsevier, 1987-02)
Divide-and-conquer is an important algorithm strategy, but it is not widely used in image processing. For higher-level, symbolic operations it should often be the strategy of choice for parallel computers. It is natural ...

An efficient job scheduling algorithm for mixed turnaround and deadline applications
(Elsevier, 1978-11)
Computer job scheduling is often performed with little understanding of the formal properties of the jobs being scheduled. One reason for this is that optimal solutions for job scheduling on computers are difficult to ...
Rational Coordination in Multi-Agent Environments
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2000-12)
We adopt the decision-theoretic principle of expected utility maximization as a paradigm for designing autonomous rational agents, and present a framework that uses this paradigm to determine the choice of coordinated ...
Coding for recording and recall of information
(Elsevier, 1984)
To explore the potential fruitfulness of the mathematical theory of communication for information science, we examine the question of how to encode a message at the time it is encountered so that it will come to mind at ...
Evolutionary techniques for updating query cost models in a dynamic multidatabase environment
(Springer-Verlag, 2004-05)
Deriving local cost models for query optimization in a dynamic multidatabase system (MDBS) is a challenging issue. In this paper, we study how to evolve a query cost model to capture a slowly-changing dynamic MDBS environment ...
Report of the purdue workshop on grand challenges in computer architecture for the support of high performance computing
(Elsevier, 1992-11)
The "Purdue Workshop on Grand Challenges in Computer Architecture for the Support of High Performance Computing" was sponsored by the National Science Foundation to identify critical research topics in computer architecture ...
Practical methods for constructing suffix trees
(Springer-Verlag, 2005-09)
Sequence datasets are ubiquitous in modern life-science applications, and querying sequences is a common and critical operation in many of these applications. The suffix tree is a versatile data structure that can be used ...
