...the next update of C-Atlas, Ensoft intends to update the capabilities of C-Atlas. These improvements are intended to provide a customizable approach to evaluating a program’s design, structure, and security. Such an update seeks to address any number of problems. Analyzing a C program’s memory management is one such problem. This project would seek to use C-Atlas to better analyze C memory management. In memory leak (memory management) analysis, the user must show that for every path forward from an variable’s allocation, there exists at least one deallocation site for that variable. This task is trivial, unless the variable’s allocation and deallocation(s) are separated by a vast field of possible control flow. C-Atlas offers a flexible interface for data flow graph generation as a solution to this problem. Through this interface, one may then produce connected data flow graphs, allowing a single variable’s path to be traced through multiple functions. This visual aide can greatly increase the time efficiency of performing memory leak analysis. The idea of this project was to write a script to produce meaningful data flow graphs for analyzing memory leaks. This script will seek to help confirm (or dispute) if some allocation site is dominated by some deallocation-site along every feasible data flow path. Finally, the script will be tested on a release of the XINU kernel. RESEARCH The research portion of this...

...PRINCIPLES AND APPLICATIONS OF OPERATIONS RESEARCH * Jayant Rajgopal Department of Industrial Engineering, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania ABSTRACT This chapter will provide an overview of Operations Research (O.R.) from the perspective of an industrial engineer. The focus of the chapter is on the basic philosophy behind O.R. and the so-called “O.R. approach” to solving design and operational problems that industrial engineers commonly encounter. In its most basic form, O.R. may be viewed as a scientific approach to solving problems; it abstracts the essential elements of the problem into a model, which is then analyzed to yield an optimal solution for implementation. The mathematical details and the specific techniques used to build and analyze these models can be quite sophisticated and are addressed elsewhere in this handbook; the emphasis of this chapter is on the approach. A brief review of the historical origins of O.R. is followed by a detailed description of its methodology. The chapter concludes with some examples of successful real-world applications of O.R. * Maynard's Industrial Engineering Handbook, 5th Edition, pp. 11.27-11.44. 1.1 INTRODUCTION Although it is a distinct discipline in its own right, Operations Research (O.R.) has also become an integral part of the Industrial Engineering (I.E.) profession. This is hardly a matter of surprise when one considers that they both share many of the same objectives, techniques and application areas...

...Management Accounting and Control Lecture 4: Cost system refinement: Activity‐based costing; Process Costing Reading: Horngren Chapter 7 (Ch 5 in 14th edition); and Ch 8 to p 276 and pp281‐283 (Ch 17 14th edition) Note: the FIFO method will not be examined in this course and nor will Hybrid (Operation) Costing , therefore you do not need to read the pages that relate to these topics. 1 Salters Pty Ltd, a specialised equipment manufacturer, uses a job order costing system. The overhead is allocated to jobs on the basis of direct labour hours. The overhead rate is now $2,000 per direct labour hour. The design engineer thinks this is illogical and has stated the following: “Our accounting system doesn’t make any sense to me. It tells me that every labour hour carries additional overhead of $2,000. This means that direct labour makes up only 5% of our total product cost, yet it drives all our costs. In addition, these rates give my design engineers incentives to ‘design out’ direct labour by using machine technology. Yet over the past years as we have had less and less direct labour, the overhead rate keeps going up and up. I won’t be surprised if next year the rate is $2,500 per direct labour hour. I’m also concerned because small errors in our estimates of the direct labour content of a job can have a large impact on our estimated costs. Just a 30 minute error in our estimate of assembly time is worth $1,000. Small mistakes in our direct labour time estimates can really swing our bids ...

...Assignment 1 In this assignment I will be evaluating the role of sub-cultural factors such as social class, age, gender, race or ethnicity as they affect consumer behaviour in my chosen market. The market I have chosen to investigate is the automotive/car industry. Also I will be discussing how a marketing manager might improve their marketing through use of my analysis of sub-cultural factors. Automotive Industry Outlook Automotives are an essential part of the daily life in the UK; about 75% of households own at least one car. Despite this, the Motor Vehicle Manufacturing industry has had a bad time recently. Industry revenue is forecast to stagnate at 0.1% per annum growth over the five years through 2011-12 to reach £37.4 billion. Car and commercial vehicle production is expected to decline by 2.5% per annum over the five years through 2011, to about 1.45 million vehicles. Revenue is expected to grow by 4.2% in 2011-12 but this positive performance is nothing to be complacent about. Competitive pressures and increasing complexity have led automotive companies to look for an edge wherever they can find out. Improved customer insight into vehicle shopping and buying behaviour can provide that valuable advantage. Cultural Factors Cultural factors have a significant impact on customer behaviour. Culture is the main reasoning behind a person’s wants, needs and behaviour. Marketers are always trying to spot cultural shifts which might point to new products that might...

The main objective of practical training at PGDM level is to develop skill in student by supplement to the theoretical study of business management in general. Industrial training helps to gain real life knowledge about the industrial environment and business practices. The PGDM program provides student with a fundamental knowledge of business and organizational functions and activities, as well as an exposure to strategic thinking of management. In every professional course, training is an important factor. Professors give us theoretical knowledge of various subjects in the college but we are practically exposed of such subjects when we get the training in the organization. It is only the training through which I come to know that what an industry is and how it works. I can learn about various departmental operations being performed in the industry, which would, in return, help me in the future when I will enter the...

...Extract from the Book “ERP Demystified” by Alexis Leon, Publisher: Tata Mc Graw Hill Publishing Co-2008 edition ( by Dileep Kumar, Secretary, Association of Knowledge Workers, Lucknow ) Part 1: Introduction: 1. What is an Enterprise? An enterprise is a group of people with a common goal, which has certain resources at its disposal to achieve this goal. In traditional approach , the organization is divided into different nits based on the functions they perform. These departments function in isolation and have their own systems of data collection and analysis. In enterprise way the entire organization is considered a system and all departments are its sub system, each sub system knows what others are doing , why they are doing and what should be done to move the company towards common goal. If the information that is generated is accurate, timely and relevant, then the systems will go a long way in helping the organization to realize its goals What is ERP? ERP integrates the information system of an organization and automates most of the functions. The activities supported by ERP system include all core functions of an organization, including financial management, human resource management, and operations. Increasingly, ERP vendors are offering “bolt-on” products , such as business Intelligence (BI), Product Life Cycle Management (PLM), Advance Planning and Scheduling (APS),Customer Relationship Management, Supply Chain Management etc Why ERP ?

...MIS Mini-cases -- 1 of 30 Cases for Use in Management Information Systems MIS Mini-cases -- 2 of 30 MIS Mini-cases -- 3 of 30 Case 01 -- Freeway Ford You are a management consultant working for Franklin Absolom, the majority stockholder for a group of 10 automobile dealerships. He has asked you to spend several days at Freeway Ford, a dealership that is not performing up to its potential. You are not to go ―looking for trouble‖: instead, your assignment is to find ways to help management at the dealership take advantage of opportunities. One day while you are talking with James Kahler, the sales manager for Freeway Ford, you realize that the dealership only uses transaction processing systems—it is not realizing the full potential of the information it has gathered for managerial decision making. For example, Freeway Ford knows the purchase date and owner of every car it sells, but it never contacts owner about routine maintenance. Freeway Ford know that people who purchase a new car generally trade it in for another new car 3 to 4 years later, but the dealership does not contact these previous customers. Another opportunity comes from used car purchasing and sales. Every car has a vehicle identification number (VIN), and the dealership uses this number to check for known problems with a used car before it makes a purchase. A data bank of car insurance claims histories and major repairs is kept on a set of CDs that is sent to the dealership each month. At the...

Please send us bugs, typos, missing references or general comments to complexitybook@gmail.com — Thank You!! DRAFT ii DRAFT About this book Computational complexity theory has developed rapidly in the past three decades. The list of surprising and fundamental results proved since 1990 alone could fill a book: these include new probabilistic definitions of classical complexity classes (IP = PSPACE and the PCP Theorems) and their implications for the field of approximation algorithms; Shor’s algorithm to factor integers using a quantum computer; an understanding of why current approaches to the famous P versus NP will not be successful; a theory of derandomization and pseudorandomness based upon computational hardness; and beautiful constructions of pseudorandom objects such as extractors and expanders. This book aims to describe such recent achievements of complexity theory in the context of the classical results. It is intended to both serve as a textbook as a reference for self-study. This means...
