TL;DR: In this article, the authors present metrics from two Hewlett-Packard (HP) reuse programs that document the improved quality, increased productivity, shortened time-to-market, and enhanced economics resulting from reuse.
Abstract: This article presents metrics from two Hewlett-Packard (HP) reuse programs that document the improved quality, increased productivity, shortened time-to-market, and enhanced economics resulting from reuse. Work products are the products or by-products of the software-development process: for example, code, design, and test plans. Reuse is the use of these work products without modification in the development of other software. Leveraged reuse is modifying existing work products to meet specific system requirements. A producer is a creator of reusable work products, and the consumer is someone who uses them to create other software. Time-to-market is the time it takes to deliver a product from the time it is conceived. Experience with reuse has been largely positive. Because work products are used multiple times, the accumulated defect fixes result in a higher quality work product. Because the work products have already been created, tested, and documented, productivity increases because consumers of reusable work products need to do less work. However, increased productivity from reuse does not necessarily shorten time-to-market. To reduce time-to-market, reuse must be used effectively on the critical path of a development project. Finally, we have found that reuse allows an organization to use personnel more effectively because it leverages expertise. However, software reuse is not free. It requires resources to create and maintain reusable work products, a reuse library, and reuse tools. To help evaluate the costs and benefits of reuse, we have developed an economic analysis method, which we have applied to multiple reuse programs at HP. >

TL;DR: In this article, a fast, automated system using a tunable laser and an accurate, real-time polarimeter affords the temporal accuracy of approximately 2% down to a limit of several femtoseconds, as demonstrated by comparison with other techniques and comparison with known samples.
Abstract: Polarization mode dispersion (PMD), which can limit the bandwidth of optical transmission links, has been difficult to measure in a manner independent of human judgment, leading to difficulties in automating the measurement. It is shown that PMD in any linear, time-invariant network can be completely characterized by eigenanalysis of Jones matrices measured at a series of discrete wavelengths, even for networks exhibiting polarization-dependent loss. A fast, automated system using a tunable laser and an accurate, real-time polarimeter affords the temporal accuracy of approximately 2% down to a limit of several femtoseconds, as demonstrated by comparison with other techniques and comparison with known samples. Both the principal states of polarization and the group delay difference were measured as a function of optical frequency. >

19 Dec 2000TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a content tracking and incentives system that encourages commercial distributors, broadcasters and users to distribute digital content to new potential customers, which is based on meta-data associated with the digital content.
Abstract: Systems and methods of distributing digital content are described. In one aspect, a portable media device includes a memory, a wireless transceiver, an output, and a controller. The memory is configured to store digital content. The wireless transceiver is configured to wirelessly transmit and receive digital content. The output is configured to render digital content. The controller is coupled to the memory, the wireless transceiver and the output, and is configured to control wireless transmission of digital content based upon meta-data associated with the digital content. In another aspect, a digital content distribution system includes two or more portable media devices and a license manager. Each of the portable media devices comprises a memory for storing digital content and a transceiver for wirelessly transmitting digital content to and wirelessly receiving digital content from another portable media device. The license manager is configured to associate digital content with meta-data for controlling wireless transmission and rendering of digital content from one portable media device to another. A content tracking and incentives system that encourages commercial distributors, broadcasters and users to distribute digital content to new potential customers also is described.

TL;DR: A detailed analysis of the evaluation study's results is provided, the current state-of-the-art in indoor localization is discussed, and areas that need to be improved to enable the adoption of indoor location services are highlighted.
Abstract: We present the results, experiences and lessons learned from comparing a diverse set of technical approaches to indoor localization during the 2014 Microsoft Indoor Localization Competition. 22 different solutions to indoor localization from different teams around the world were put to test in the same unfamiliar space over the course of 2 days, allowing us to directly compare the accuracy and overhead of various technologies. In this paper, we provide a detailed analysis of the evaluation study's results, discuss the current state-of-the-art in indoor localization, and highlight the areas that, based on our experience from organizing this event, need to be improved to enable the adoption of indoor location services.
