Cross laminated timber (CLT) in compression perpendicular to plane: Testing, properties, design and recommendations for harmonizing design provisions for structural timber products

Engineering structures, 2018
Timber exposed to compression perpendicular to grain stresses is of concern in all timber constructions. The challenge is the high diversity of possible load configurations, which mandates for a generic approach with basic properties and case individual ...

Biased managers, organizational design, and incentive provision [PDF]

Economics Letters, 2004
We model the tradeoff between the balance and the strength of incentives implicit in the choice between hierarchical and matrix organizational structures. We show that managerial biases determine which structure is optimal: hierarchical forms are preferred when biases are low, while matrix structures are preferred when biases are high.

SLA Design and Service Provisioning for Outsourced Services

Journal of Network and Systems Management, 2009
In this work, a business-driven approach to designing Service Level Agreements in an e-commerce environment is proposed. In contrast to conventional SLA design approaches, the one proposed better captures the relationship between service provider and service client by considering the negative business impact (business loss) originated from IT ...

Design of provisioning SLA in ASON

China-Ireland International Conference on Information and Communications Technologies (CIICT 2008), 2008
This article proposes a scheme of how to provision SLA in ASON. Firstly, at the basis of giving out the birth background of SLA and ASON, it discusses the shortcomings of provisioning SLA in traditional optical network and the technical advantages of provisioning SLA in ASON. Then, design of how to provision SLA in ASON is brought forward.

QoE design tradeoffs for foveated content provision

2017 Ninth International Conference on Quality of Multimedia Experience (QoMEX), 2017
This paper explores the key tradeoffs for the design and optimization of eye-gaze based content provision for video streaming services. The proposed end-to-end solution, called “foveated content provision”, uses real-time information from connected eye-trackers to dynamically deliver optimized video frames, with higher resolution in areas corresponding

Service management, provision and design

Proceedings of IN'96, 2002
The article addresses the service design and management of an IN network. It examines the interface between the service management function, service creation environment (SCE) function and the service management access function. The SCE should provide functions to support the service design process from requirement analysis to release.
