Institutional Issues Related To The Application Of Intelligent Vehicle Highway Systems Technologies To Commercial Vehicle Operations In Indiana, James G. Kavalaris, Kumares C. Sinha May 1994

Institutional Issues Related To The Application Of Intelligent Vehicle Highway Systems Technologies To Commercial Vehicle Operations In Indiana, James G. Kavalaris, Kumares C. Sinha

JTRP Technical Reports

The study focused on potential barriers and opportunities to implementing Intelligent Vehicle-Highway System (IVHS) technologies to Commercial Vehicle Operations (CVO) in Indiana. Specific concepts included: (1) Automatic payment of tolls while driving at mainline speeds; (2) Pre-Clearance of vehicles and drivers past weigh stations; (3) "One-Stop-Shopping" for licenses, registrations, and permits; and (4) Transparent state borders. The study reviewed existing laws and policies applying to commercial vehicles operating in Indiana; prepared an inventory of the agencies responsible, their existing procedures, their physical facilities, and their human resources used to implement these regulations; itemized present impediments preventing the implementation of IVHS-CVO …

Managing Multiple Knowledge Sources In Constraint-Based Parsing Of Spoken Language, Mary P. Harper, Randall A. Helzerman Apr 1994

Managing Multiple Knowledge Sources In Constraint-Based Parsing Of Spoken Language, Mary P. Harper, Randall A. Helzerman

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

In this paper, we describe a system which is capable of utilizing a variety of knowledge sources to select the most appropriate parse for a spoken sentence. These knowledge sources include syntax, semantics, and contextual information. We discuss one way to utilize contextual information when determining a parse for a sentence. Our definition of a context is defined by which computer application we wish to interact with, where our system is capable of interfacing with two or more applications, each with a fixed vocabulary, syntax, and semanltics. The user is able to interact through a single interface which uses contextual …

Dynamic Barrier Architecture For Multi-Mode Fine-Grain Parallelism Using Conventional Processors Part 11: Mode Emulation, W. E. Cohen, H. G. Dietz, J. B. Sponaugle Mar 1994

Dynamic Barrier Architecture For Multi-Mode Fine-Grain Parallelism Using Conventional Processors Part 11: Mode Emulation, W. E. Cohen, H. G. Dietz, J. B. Sponaugle

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

Parallel computers constructed using conventional processors offer the potential to acheve large improvements in execution speed at reasonable cost, however, these machlnes tend to efficiently implement only coarse-grain MIMD parallelism. To achieve the best possible speedup through parallel execution, a computer must be capable of effectively using all the different types of parallelism that exist in each program. A combination of SIMD, VLW. and MIMD parallelism, at a variety of granularity levels, exists in most applications; thus, hardware that can support multiple types of parallelism can achieve better performance with a wider range of codes. In the companion paper [CoD94], …

Papers: Purdue's Adapter For Parallel Execution And Rapid Synchronization, H. G. Dietz, T. Muhammad, J. B. Sponaugle, T. Mattox

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

There are a lot of 386/486/Pentium-based personal computers (PCs) out there. They are affordable, reliable, and offer good performance. Thus, it is only natural to think of networking multiple PCs to create a high-performance parallel machine - the problem is that conventional networking systems cannot provide low latency synchronization and communication. Low latency allows fine grain parallelism; the longer the latency, the fewer the programs that can achieve good speedup through use of parallelism. Typical parallel machines constructed using PC networks (e.g., PVM software using Ethernet hardware) generally have latencies between 0.001s and 0.1s. Even the "best" commercially-available parallel computers …

To achieve the best possible speedup through parallel execution, a computer must be capable of effectively using all the different types of parallelism that exist in each program. A combination of SIMD, VLIW, and MIMD parallelism, at a variety of granularity levels, exists in most applications; thus, hardware that can support multiple types of parallelism can achieve better performance with a wider range of codes.

International Human Resource Strategy And Control: The Case Of Multinationals And Their Subsidiaries, John M. Hannon, Ing-Chung Huang, Bih-Shiaw Jaw Jan 1994

International Human Resource Strategy And Control: The Case Of Multinationals And Their Subsidiaries, John M. Hannon, Ing-Chung Huang, Bih-Shiaw Jaw

Purdue CIBER Working Papers

This study examined the relationship between International Human Resource (IHR) Strategy and International Human Resource Control. To do so, Jarillo and Martinez's (1990) framework for parent--subsidiary business strategy was recast into an IHR strategy context and Snell's (1992) conceputualization of control int he supervisor--subordinate relationship was extended to the parent--subsidiary setting. Data from 100 subsidiaries and their parents shwoed that subsidiaries adopt one of three (receptive, active, or autonomous) IHR strategies. In addition, the data demonstrate that a globally integrated IHR strategy is associated with tighter control over the subsidiary's selection, performance evaluation, and reward systems and looser control over …

The Mediating Effects Of Pre- And Post-Assignment Activities On The Quality Of Work Life Of Expatriates: Evidence For Managers In The P.R.C., John Hannon, Ing-Chung Huang, Cheng-Chen Lin Jan 1994

The Mediating Effects Of Pre- And Post-Assignment Activities On The Quality Of Work Life Of Expatriates: Evidence For Managers In The P.R.C., John Hannon, Ing-Chung Huang, Cheng-Chen Lin

Purdue CIBER Working Papers

This study investigates how two managerial interventions, pre-assignment training and post-assignmnet support, mediate the relationship between a set of personal & job characteristics and a broad measure of foreign assignment success, quality of work life (QWL). To accomplish this, we studied 199 expatriates posted form the Republic of China (Taiwan) to the People's Republic of China (PRC), a host ocutnry with a similar language, race, and cultural background. Using this setting, we were better able to isolate the mediating effects of these human resource interventions on the assignee's adjustment and success. In the end, it appears that some of the …


A Model For Filter-Rule Gains In Foreign Exchange Markets, John Carlson, Marc Surchat Jan 1994

A Model For Filter-Rule Gains In Foreign Exchange Markets, John Carlson, Marc Surchat

Purdue CIBER Working Papers

An f-percent filter rule in a foreign exchange market calls for buying a foreign currency when its price has risen by f percent above a trough and holding until its price has fallen f percent from a peak. If the foreign exchange rate following a random walk, this is an unprofitable strategy. Since ex post filter rules continue to show positive gains on average, there must be a pattern in the data that makes these gains possible. Slight first-order autocorrelation, evident in the changes in actual exchange rates, is not strong enough by itself to account for the ex post …

The Mediating Effects Of Organization Commitment And Job Involvement On The Relationship Between Quality Of Work Life And Customer Service Attitudes, John Hannon, Ing-Chung Huang, Cheng-Chen Lin Jan 1994

The Mediating Effects Of Organization Commitment And Job Involvement On The Relationship Between Quality Of Work Life And Customer Service Attitudes, John Hannon, Ing-Chung Huang, Cheng-Chen Lin

Purdue CIBER Working Papers

In the last two decades, organizations have recognized, indeed fixated upon, the importance of quality and quality management. One manifestation of this is the emergence of the total quality management (TQM) movement, which has been proclaimed as the latest and optimal way of managing organizations. Likewise, in the domain of human resource management, the concept of quality of work life (QWL) has also received much attention of late from theoreticians, researchers, and practitioners. However, little has been done to build a bridge between these two increasingly important concepts, QWL and TQM. The purpose of this research is to empirically examine …
