In this paper we show that application-aware adaptation, a collaborative partnership between the operating system and applications, offers the most general and effective approach to mobile information access. We describe the design of Odyssey, a prototype implementing this approach, and show how

Ego-motion estimation for an agile single camera moving through general, unknown scenes becomes a much more challenging problem when real-time performance is required rather than under the off-line processing conditions under which most successful structure from motion work has been achieved

In the last several years there has been a noticeable focus shift of agile methods from eXtreme Programming (XP) and Scrum to Lean approaches, which is indicated as “from agile to lean”. However our understanding of the driving factors behind this focus shift is very limited. The study proposed

Systems engineering is a generally accepted methodology in military development. Systems engineering is an interdisciplinary approach to realize successful systems. In most commercial organizations systems engineering is not an accepted or mandated methodology, however methodologies such as Agile

As the lean thinking and agile manufacturing paradigms have been developed there has been a tendency to view them in a progression and in isolation. This article shows that this is too simplistic a view. The use of either paradigm has to be combined with a total supply chain strategy particularly

is to explore the link between supply chain and sustainable development with the insights of two main paradigms in the changing competitive environment: lean and agility. On the one side, the focus of the lean approach has essentially been on the elimination of waste and all non-value activities. On the other

, adopting proven strategies, agile database techniques, and lean development governance. It is possible to scale agile approaches, but you will need to look beyond the advice provided by the "agile in the small" literature.

chains are structured and managed. This paper suggests that the key to survival in these changed conditions is through ‘agility’, in particular by the creation of responsive supply chains. A distinction is drawn between the philosophies of ‘leanness ’ and ‘agility ’ and the appropriate application

in nature. A framework is presented in this paper, which encapsulates the market sensitiveness, process integration, information driver and flexibility measures of supply chain performance. The paper explores the relationship among lead-time, cost, quality, and service level and the leanness and agility
