This article furthers the recent trend of studying communication during new employee socialization by examining the nature of message content and message sources during this important process. Results from an investigation of 85 newly hired hotel managers ’ socialization experiences indicate

A conversation protocol is a top-down specification framework which specifies desired global behaviors of a web service composition. In our earlier work [6] we

MPI (Message Passing Interface) is a specification for a standard library for message passing that was defined by the MPI Forum, a broadly based group of parallel computer vendors, library writers, and applications specialists. Multiple implementations of MPI have been developed. In this paper, we

In this work we examine the characteristics of social activity and patterns of communication on Twitter, a prominent example of the emerging class of communication systems we call “social awareness streams. ” We use system data and message content from over 350 Twitter users, applying human coding

can last for a significant period. Previous approaches rely on the use of either long range communication which leads to rapid draining of nodes ’ limited batteries, or existing node mobility which results in low data delivery rates and large delays. In this paper, we describe a Message Ferrying (MF

The paper presents a review of 200 references in content-based image retrieval. The paper starts with discussing the working conditions of content-based retrieval: patterns of use, types of pictures, the role of semantics, and the sensory gap. Subsequent sections discuss computational steps

for unskilled labor is less well developed. This paper applies an understanding of what computers do – the execution of procedural or rules-based logic – to develop and test a simple model of how the widespread adoption of computers in the workplace might alter workplace skill demands. Two essential contentions

We propose a new scheme for content distribution of large files that is based on network coding. With network coding, each node of the distribution network is able to generate and transmit encoded blocks of information. The randomization introduced by the coding process eases the scheduling
