wearIT@work (Empowering the mobile worker by wearable computing) D86 - wearIT@work Final Report on Dissemination Actions
No full textThis document describes the strategy and the instruments to be used for disseminating the results obtained by the wearIT@work project with particular reference to its pilot studies in order to push the adoption of wearable computing technology in the business world. Furthermore this document reports on the results (chapter 5). The document defines: - The objectives of dissemination campaigns to be performed; - The constraints that the strategy must take into consideration; - The different targets addressed; - The dissemination instruments addressing the selected targets; - The implementation strategy to be adopted for each instrument. As this is already the final version of the document most parts of the document related to the strategy, targets, and instruments are only updated and mainly unchanged compared to the previous release (D59). Sections added are marked as (new!). However the implementation is an ongoing process and therefore here (chapter 5) the activitie

wearIT@work (Empowering the mobile worker by wearable computing) D50 - Periodic activity report - 3rd year
No full textThis deliverable describes in five chapters the work performed, the progress achieved, the results disseminated and first exploitable results by the partners during the third year of the project. The first chapter is a summary of the performed work (1.3). The second chapter describes once again the project objectives. This is necessary to better understand section 2.5 where the main achievements are outlined. Those interested in the details find in the third chapter for each work package a description of the progress. The chapter on the consortium management (4) deals mainly with the take-up call and some minor changes in the consortium. The Annex gives a description of the exploitable knowledge and its use, the dissemination of knowledge and the published results
On the Use of Coscheduling in Fast Communication Systems
No full textCoscheduling of communication and computation is considered one of the crucial points to obtain good performance out of fast communication systems. Various techniques have been examined in literature ranging from strict "gang scheduling" of all processes possibly involved in message exchange to "implicit coscheduling" in which the communication support system may act on the scheduling of sending and receiving processes trying to improve performance without explicit coordination by special purpose message exchanges. Based on the experience in implementing the GAMMA communication system, we are convinced that some form of coscheduling is needed in order to obtain best performance in communication. However we believe that most of the approaches described in literature so far are too simplistic to be really effective. In this paper we point out and classify some of the major problems a system that attempts to coschedule communication and computation should address. We hope to clarify the goals of a coscheduler by taking some of the crucial characteristics of the communication into account. We also hope to be able to devise some more integrated and coherent strategies of coordination between process scheduling and choice of communication modes
eBusiness standards and IoT technologies adoption in the fashion industry: Preliminary results of an empirical research
No full textThe present paper aims to analyse the main barriers and drivers that obstacle and push the adoption of an eBusiness standard, such as eBIZ, and IoT technology, such as RFId, within the fashion industry. This purpose represents the first step of the European project “eBIZ 4.0—Enhancing textile/clothing sector by eBIZ and RFIds technologies adoption”, aiming to promote the integration between RFId technology and eBIZ standard for improving data interoperability among companies operating along the fashion supply chain. The tool used for this kind of analysis has been an online survey dispatched to the mailing list of all the project partners belong to different European Community countries and involving both software houses and fashion companies. The survey results have been crossed with the external variables that characterize the analysed companies, in order to classify the evidences related to one or another cluster of companies similar in terms of external variables such as dimension, headquarter location, industry segment. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2019
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
