India's high-tech cities, web whispers, Babbage's Difference engine and more...
Photo Pictured above is the counting mechanism of the Difference engine - in perfect symmetry prior to its first-ever usage. This month silicon.com senior reporter Nick Heath visited India to check out the high-tech goings on... [29 Apr 2008]
Photos: Charles Babbage's masterpiece reincarnated
Photo The counting mechanism of the Difference engine is in perfect symmetry prior to its first-ever usage. The Science Museum has the only other full-scale Difference engine in the world; Babbage himself never actually made... [10 Apr 2008]
A Statistical Approach to Risk Mitigation in Computational Markets
White Paper The skewed and bursty nature of demand in large-scale computer networks challenges the common statistical assumptions of symmetry, independence, and stationarity. This paper studies stochastic models to mitigate the risk... [15 Feb 2008]
Symmetry and Search in a Network Design Problem
White Paper In both the MIP and CP models, it is important to deal with the symmetry of the problem. An optimization problem arising in the design of optical fibre networks is discussed. A network contains client nodes, each... [12 Jan 2008]
Visualization of State Transition Graphs
White Paper This structure is visualized in three dimensions with concepts from cone trees and emphasis on symmetry. A new method for the visualization of state transition graphs is presented. Visual information is reduced by... [01 Sep 2007]
Evaluating Business Intelligence Offerings: Business Objects and Microsoft
White Paper Choosing a Business Intelligence ("BI") offering is an important decision for an enterprise, one that will have a significant impact throughout the enterprise. The choice of a BI offering will affect people up and down the chain of... [02 Jul 2007]
Growing Genetic COWs With SAS: Using Low Cost Parallel Processing With Linux - MS/NT Networks to Search Genomes
White Paper The criteria for using COW's will be discussed in terms of their job symmetry and intermediate solution timing. Using SAS to manage and run a LINUX / WINDOWS-NT based Cluster Of Workstations (COW) to simulate a parallel... [08 May 2007]
Q&A: Chairman of Microsoft, Bill Gates
Comment So, I'd say the evolution is server to service, and bringing that symmetry in. Would you buy Windows Vista? For Bill Gates and Microsoft, that's the big question. This week at the software giant's Professional Developers... [14 Sep 2005]
Gates: The "software as a service" age is here
News Everything we're doing, this idea of server equals service [and] getting the symmetry there, is part of our long-term architecture. Microsoft intends to expand its hosted software offerings by blurring the lines between... [14 Sep 2005]
Minority Report: Apple revels in podcasting revolution
Comment Given Steve Wozniak's formative interest in building radio stations, it's a neat symmetry that the company he co-founded this week gave the biggest boost yet to the amateur digital radio phenomenon known as podcasting. [30 Jun 2005]
Peter Cochrane's Blog: Am I uncool?
Comment I have in no way resisted this blog transition, but I think finishing the silicon.com series of columns at a round number (100) is satisfying, as I am leaving a world of order and symmetry for a world of chaos,... [13 Apr 2005]
Homogenization Expansion for Resonances of Microstructured Photonic Waveguides
White Paper A systematic homogenization expansion has been derived for microstructured cylindrical waveguides with transverse N-fold symmetry. The method of derivation, multiple scale analysis, facilitates the removal of fast scales... [07 Apr 2005]
Symmetric Spin
White Paper This paper gives a detailed description of SymmSpin, a prototype implementation of a symmetry-reduction package for the Spin model checker. It offers several heuristics for state-space reduction. A series of experiments... [07 Apr 2005]
Concentrating Entanglement by Local Actions - Beyond Mean Values
White Paper We show that, for a pure entangled state shared between two separated persons Alice and Bob, the mathematical interchange symmetry of the Schmidt decomposition can be promoted into a physical symmetry... [25 Feb 2004]
Predicting Large Scale Crack Growth in 3D Finite Element Models
White Paper If there is a single crack-block then only one side of the crack (i.e.one crack face) is modelled and symmetry constraints should be applied. In the simplest case a cracked mesh may contain only a single crack-block (and... [25 Feb 2004]
