The purpose of this proposed symposium is to bring scholars together to discuss and debate the origins of organizational capabilities. The question of origins has been a sticky one to resolve, specifically due to the problem of infinite regress and the multi-level nature of capabilities. For example, should explanation of capabilities be reduced to, say, genes? What is the appropriate level of ana

This paper presents a constructive algorithm for memory-aware task assignment and scheduling, which is a part of the prototype system MATAS. The algorithm is well suited for image and video processing applications which have hard memory constraints as well as constraints on cost, execution time, and resource usage. Our algorithm takes into account code and data memory constraints together with the

We present an efficient, low-cost implementation of time-hopping impulse radio that fulfills the spectral mask mandated by the FCC and is suitable for high-data-rate, short-range communications. Key features are (i) all-baseband implementation that obviates the need for passband components, (ii) symbol-rate (not chip rate) sampling, A/D conversion, and digital signal processing, (iii) fast acquisi

The elastic-plastic behaviour as the response to indenter geometry, such as tip radius and angle, are simulated in the study. The hardness and the Young modulus of the material are determined combining both analytical and numerical methods and their dependence on the tip radius and angle is investigated.

The title of this thesis is The Reading Machine. Aspects of Image and Book in the Works of Anders Billow 1923 – 1953. My aim is to revise and complement the historical understanding of the establishing of the modernistic “new typography” within the theory and practice of graphic design. A wider ambition is to, through example, better clarify the surrounding society’s influence on design and how ne

Although code-switching has attracted a considerable amount of attention for quite some time, the issue of linguistic switch in foreign language teaching has not been a major subject of scientific study. Using a qualitative approach to individual examples of linguistic switch among three second language teachers of French in Sweden, this article, although highly preliminary, attempts to highlight

Students completing a Swedish Master’s degree in engineering should have knowledge and skills to independently solve engineering issues. This autonomy should be developed and demonstrated within the M.Sc. project course. But, how can supervisors encourage independence? We have explored this in a case study through semi-structured interviews with students, supervisors and examiners of two M.Sc. pro
