Dynamic capabilities and strategic management

by David J. Teece, Gary Pisano, Amy Shuen - Strategic Management Journal , 1997
"... The dynamic capabilities framework analyzes the sources and methods of wealth creation and capture by private enterprise firms operating in environments of rapid technological change. The competitive advantage of firms is seen as resting on distinctive processes (ways of coordinating and combining), ..."

Qualitative process theory

by Kenneth D. Forbus - MIT AI Lab Memo , 1982
"... Objects move, collide, flow, bend, heat up, cool down, stretch, compress. and boil. These and other things that cause changes in objects over time are intuitively characterized as processes. To understand commonsense physical reasoning and make programs that interact with the physical world as well ..."
Abstract - Cited by 899 (92 self) - Add to MetaCart
as people do we must understand qualitative reasoning about processes, when they will occur, their effects, and when they will stop. Qualitative process theory defines a simple notion of physical process that appears useful as a language in which to write dynamical theories. Reasoning about processes also

GOLOG: A Logic Programming Language for Dynamic Domains

by Hector J. Levesque, Raymond Reiter, Yves Lespérance, Fangzhen Lin, Richard B. Scherl , 1994
"... This paper proposes a new logic programming language called GOLOG whose interpreter automatically maintains an explicit representation of the dynamic world being modeled, on the basis of user supplied axioms about the preconditions and effects of actions and the initial state of the world. This allo ..."

The structure and function of complex networks

by M. E. J. Newman - SIAM REVIEW , 2003
"... Inspired by empirical studies of networked systems such as the Internet, social networks, and biological networks, researchers have in recent years developed a variety of techniques and models to help us understand or predict the behavior of these systems. Here we review developments in this field, ..."

, including such concepts as the small-world effect, degree distributions, clustering, network correlations, random graph models, models of network growth and preferential attachment, and dynamical processes taking place on networks.

Recovering High Dynamic Range Radiance Maps from Photographs

by Paul E. Debevec, Jitendra Malik
"... We present a method of recovering high dynamic range radiance maps from photographs taken with conventional imaging equipment. In our method, multiple photographs of the scene are taken with different amounts of exposure. Our algorithm uses these differently exposed photographs to recover the respon ..."

the response function of the imaging process, up to factor of scale, using the assumption of reciprocity. With the known response function, the algorithm can fuse the multiple photographs into a single, high dynamic range radiance map whose pixel values are proportional to the true radiance values in the scene

Initial Conditions and Moment Restrictions in Dynamic Panel Data Models

by Richard Blundell, Stephen Bond - Journal of Econometrics , 1998
"... Estimation of the dynamic error components model is considered using two alternative linear estimators that are designed to improve the properties of the standard firstdifferenced GMM estimator. Both estimators require restrictions on the initial conditions process. Asymptotic efficiency comparisons ..."

Integrated architectures for learning, planning, and reacting based on approximating dynamic programming

by Richard S. Sutton - Proceedings of the SevenLh International Conference on Machine Learning , 1990
"... gutton~gte.com Dyna is an AI architecture that integrates learning, planning, and reactive execution. Learning methods are used in Dyna both for compiling planning results and for updating a model of the effects of the agent's actions on the world. Planning is incremental and can use the probab ..."

the probabilistic and ofttimes incorrect world models generated by learning processes. Execution is fully reactive in the sense that no planning intervenes between perception and action. Dyna relies on machine learning methods for learning from examples--these are among the basic building blocks making up

Is learning by exporting important? Micro-dynamic evidence from Colombia, Mexico and Morocco

by Sofronis K. Clerides, Saul Lach, James R. Tybout - Quarterly Journal of Economics , 1998
"... Do firms become more efficient after becoming exporters? Do exporters generate positive externalities for domestically oriented producers? In this paper we tackle these questions by analyzing the causal links between exporting and productivity using plant-level data. We look for evidence that firms ..."
Abstract - Cited by 604 (13 self) - Add to MetaCart
’ cost processes change after they break into foreign markets. We find that relatively efficient firms become exporters; however, in most industries, firms ’ costs are not affected by previous exporting activities. So the well-documented positive association between exporting and efficiency is explained

Real-Time Dynamic Voltage Scaling for Low-Power Embedded Operating Systems

by Padmanabhan Pillai, Kang G. Shin , 2001
"... In recent years, there has been a rapid and wide spread of nontraditional computing platforms, especially mobile and portable computing devices. As applications become increasingly sophisticated and processing power increases, the most serious limitation on these devices is the available battery lif ..."
