Isola del Giglio, Second Life Simulator
No full textBackground Second Life (SL) is an online 3d environment created by its users, who can meet together in the same place to discuss, role-play, design, write collaborative narratives, and build their own virtual worlds. SL provides an immersive, interactive, multimodal experience, Isola del Giglio is a SL simulator I created in 2008 as a meeting and discussion point where UTS International Studies students could meet together and with staff to discuss their research projects. Contribution In 2008 researched and developed Isola del Giglio. Isola del Giglio is designed as a virtual island, set in an imagined geographical location evocative of the Mediterranean. My contribution consisted in developing the concept of the project, landscaping. designing and maintaining the site and producing a short machinima (animation film) to document the island and its use by International Studies students and staff. Significance The project started with virtual ethnographic research of several different sites in SL from recreational spaces, gaming sims and educational sites in order to understand the affect of the designed environment on its users. Most universities in SL simply reproduce replicas of existing campuses, some with 'classrooms' and 'lecture theatres'. On the contrary Isola was built as an innovative 'open' space with different models of communication in mind to generate innovative learning and teaching experiences

Aimee Giglio, CHRO, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Health
No full textAimee Giglio is the Chief Human Resource Officer for Dartmouth-Hitchcock Health System. The Dartmouth-Hitchcock Health System is a large health system based in New Hampshire with more than 14,000 employees.
Like many executives Marc Bonica talks to, Aimee didn’t start out in the human resources field. Her undergraduate work and early career was in the field of social work. Her journey to being the chief human resource officer for the largest employer in the state of New Hampshire after the state government is interesting, and the topic of the first part of the interview. They then discuss managing the human resources function for a major medical center and coordinating human resources strategy across a large system. They conclude with a conversation about leadership
A new result to generalize and extend a single machine scheduling problem solved by dynamic programming
No full textThe problem of scheduling jobs on an unreliable single machine is considered in this paper under a control-theoretical point of view. The scheduling problem is formalized as an optimal control problem and optimal control strategies (functions of the system state) are determined. In this way, optimal decisions can be taken also in presence of perturbations which affect the single machine (such as breakdowns and slowdowns). In this paper, a new result is proposed, which allows generalizing and extending the methodology proposed by the author in the recent past. With this result it is possible to remove the hypothesis that any unitary tardiness cost is greater than any unitary cost related to the deviation from the nominal processing time; moreover, it is possible to add the setup cost to the objective function which is minimized
