Small software organizations independently financed and organized companies with fewer than 50 employees are fundamental to many national economies' growth. In the US, Brazil, Canada, China, India, Finland, Ireland, Hungary, ...
This paper reports the findings of a detailed study of Web-based systems design (WBSD) practices in Ireland based on data collected over a 3-year period (2002–2005), the objectives of which were to (1) contribute towards ...

Activist computer scientists, including some of the authors
of this paper, have been working against the adoption
by governments of commercial, proprietary, insecure,

Ambient intelligence involves synthesising data from a range of sources in order to exhibit meaningful adaptive behaviour without explicit user direction, driven by inputs from largely independent devices and data sources. ...
Aguanno, Mauro V.; Lakestani, Fereydoun; Whelan, Maurice P.; Connelly, Michael J.(Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers, 2007)
We describe a heterodyne interferometry system based on a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor digital signal processor (CMOS-DSP) camera that is utilized for full-field optical phase measurement using a carrier-based ...
Detection of bacteria such as Ralstonia pickettii in high purity water (HPW) has gained increasing interest for researchers. Contamination problems in HPW in both pharmaceutical and semiconductor applications can lead ...
Modularity is one of the key features of the Object-Oriented (OO) paradigm. Low coupling and high cohesion help to achieve good modularity. Inheritance is one of the core concepts of the OO paradigm which facilitates ...
Agile methods have emerged and become popular over last few years as a response to shortcomings of
the waterfall process model. However, agile processes are stamped by some as chaotic processes and
are placed in opposition ...
This paper considers the requirements for an industry sector approach to entrepreneurship education – The Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Sector. We present a modified Process Framework for Entrepreneurship ...
Enfield, Joey; O'Doherty, Jim; Leahy, Martin J.(SPIE - Society of Photo‑Optical Instrumentation Engineers, 2007)
Biomedical optics and photomedicine applications are challenged by the turbid nature of most biological tissue systems. This nature limits the penetration depth of light into the tissue. Optical clearing improves the ...
