We study the problem of updating a social network snapshot when the social system provides a limited public API to access the graph. We propose novel link prediction and hybrid strategies that beat a state-of-the-art competing graph strategy [1]. Our strategies make educated guesses for edge removals and creations based on graph “fingerprints”. We also propose an improved baseline strategy and more...
Nowadays, smart meters are capable of collecting, processing, storing, and reporting users' energy consumption data with high fidelity. While facilitating a wide variety of applications such as demand response and anomaly detection, smart meter data exposes users to the risks of revealing sensitive information including occupancy states and activity patterns. Among privacy-preserving data collection...
Design automation (DA) research has for over fifty years been performed in academia, semiconductor and system companies, and EDA companies worldwide. This research has been enabling to continued scaling of design productivity and growth of the semiconductor industry. For product companies, funding program managers and individual researchers alike, a highly relevant question is: what DA research, and...
This paper discusses methods to identify individualusers across their digital devices as part of the ICDM 2015 competition hosted on Kaggle. The competition's data set and prize poolwere provided by http://www.drawbrid.ge/ in sponsorship withthe ICDM 2015 conference. The methods described in this paperfocuses on feature engineering and generic machine learningalgorithms like Extreme Gradient Boosting...
Aligning software-related activities with corporate strategies and goals is increasingly important for several reasons such as increasing the customer satisfaction in software-based products and services. Several approaches have been proposed to create such an alignment. GQM+Strategies is an approach that applies measurement principles to link goals and strategies on different levels of an organisation...
This report summarizes the presentations, discussions, and recommendations of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Workshop “Sustainable Manufacturing: Metrics, Standards, and Infrastructure” held at NIST, Gaithersburg, Maryland, USA, October 13 through October 15, 2009. The primary objective of this Workshop was to bring together experts and various stakeholders to identify and...
Many important (particularly industry) solutions to research problems are included in patents, but not in academic publications. We studied patents invented by researchers associated with the annual IEEE/IFIP Business-Driven IT Management (BDIM) workshops and selected for in-depth analysis 4 granted patents and 19 pending patent applications most closely related to BDIM topics. These patents address...
Innovation enables product differentiation and supports market growth. However, determining the value of an innovative feature is a difficult task due to the number of risks and uncertainties involved. This paper proposes the use of real options theory to support software product managers to decide whether to make an investment in an innovative feature or not. This approach creates a richer decision...
