As Internet technologies for long-distance transmission fall in price, and the volume of data transmission surpasses that of voice transmission, networks developed solely for the Internet are becoming the trend. However, long-distance Internet technologies add considerable delay to the signal...

In this paper, we propose a new method for partitioning a graph into an unspecified number of Hamiltonian subgraphs with minimum and maximum size requirements on the subgraphs. We refer to this problem as the cardinality constrained covering traveling salesman problem (CCC-TSP). Special cases of...

Outsourcing coupled with technology that enables data to reside anywhere has opened up new challenges to the protection of personal privacy. Privacy laws differ internationally as does the value different cultures place on personal privacy. Such differences have implications for government as...

The article explores the deployment of Wikipedia, an online encyclopedia in corporate set up. The authors found that the medium emerged as powerful collaborative technology. They determined in corporate setting it was used for variety of purposes, such as from portals, to project management and...

Dr. Paul P. Maglio makes an excellent point: he calls for more research on the intersection of the firm's external capabilities and resources with those of the customer. In Rolland, Patterson, and Ward's previous paper, they created a starting point for a line of thinking similar in spirit to...

The rapid, pervasive growth of Internet use for business purposes has had a noticeable effect on numerous firms' business strategies. This type of perturbation among competitors results in a more dynamic market. To be successful in such a market often requires a firm to reexamine how it...

Our research question concerns the usefulness of wikis in corporate settings. The answer to this question is not clear. On one hand, business firms are aware of the impact wikis have had on the Internet, and perceive wikis as an up-and-coming technology for supporting collaborative work. On the...

Recently, Nature published an article comparing the quality of Wikipedia articles to those of Encyclopedia Britannica (Giles 2005). The article, which gained much public attention, provides evidence for Wikipedia quality, but does not provide an explanation of the underlying source of that...

Scope and Purpose – For solving combinatorial optimization problems, neural networks have traditionally been outperformed by traditional heuristic techniques developed specifically for the problem in question. This research is a step toward integrating the problem specific knowledge embedded...
