IDC OPINION This study represents the vendor assessment model called IDC MarketScape. This research is a quantitative and qualitative assessment of the characteristics that explain a vendor's current and future success in the digital strategy consulting services marketplace. This study assesses the capabilities and business strategies of 13 prominent digital strategy consulting services vendors. This evaluation is based on a comprehensive framework and a set of parameters expected to be most conducive to success in providing digital strategy consultancy. A significant component of this evaluation is the inclusion of digital strategy consulting buyers' perception of both the key characteristics and the capabilities of these providers. This client input was provided primarily from the vendors' clients, supplemented with a worldwide survey. Key findings include: . Consultancies are getting the basics right. Reference clients that IDC spoke with were impressed by the quality of the people from the leading digital strategy consultancies. On average, reference clients gave consultancies highest scores for people quality, action orientation, and client-specific insight. This indicates that digital strategy consultancies are getting the basics right — they are recruiting smart and empathetic people and are training and developing them well, they are getting to know their clients inside out, and they are producing very useful advice as a result. Clients want to be challenged more than ever by their digital strategy consultants.

It maps the landscapes of the country of digital images, or, as it was lately renamed, the realms of Computational Visualistics. Like any picture, a map – and hence this book – is a context builder: it allows the readers to ex- plore different paths in an abstract region, to connect many landmarks on several ways, and to establish their own distinctions of figures and backgrounds according to their proper interests. However, a text is bound to its linear progression of propositions woven into the digital fabric of argumentation that only mimics the true spatial quality of images. As an extended path, read- ing this text snakes through the map in the effort to systematically cover all of its regions: the map only appears in the reader’s mind. Not all of the details present may be integrated on first view. After all: a real map presents all its details simultaneously, but only those details are ac- tually “read” that are relevant for the reader’s present intentions. The map reveals its contents not on a single glance.

In 2002 she began working with Moko Jumbies - still walkers - from Dragon Keylemanjahro School of Arts and Culture in Trinidad, a community center completely operated through volunteer participation from residents of the neighborhood. The project focuses on providing free of charge extracurricular activities to youth of a low-income area, as well as reviving the art and tradition of West African stilt walking. Through artistic interventions during special events, carnival competitions, workshops and outreach programs, the project aims to reinforce social ideals such as healthy life choices and respect for cultural heritage. Jumbie Camp follows the same concepts as above with the Brooklyn Jumbies and takes place in two burrows of New York with very different demographics. Jumbie Camp set up in Galeria Ramis Barquet in Chelsea, where the gallery was transformed into a workshop and rehearsal space where costumes and masks were created to provide costumes free of charge for the Brooklyn Jumbies’ presentations.

  • Rudolf Beck Ralf Hiptmair Multilevel Solution of the Time-Harmonic
    Konrad-Zuse-Zentrum für Informationstechnik Berlin Takustr. 7, D-14195 Berlin - Dahlem Rudolf Beck Ralf Hiptmair∗ Multilevel Solution of the Time-Harmonic Maxwell’s Equations Based on Edge Elements Institut f¨ur Mathematik Universit¨at Augsburg D-86135 Augsburg Preprint SC 96-51 (December 1996) Multilevel Solution of the Time-Harmonic Maxwell’s Equations Based on Edge Elements Rudolf Beck Ralf Hiptmair Abstract A widely used approach for the computation of time-harmonic electromag- netic fields is based on the well-known double-curl equation for either E or H. An appealing choice for finite element discretizations are edge elements, the lowest order variant of a H(curl)-conforming family of finite elements. However, the large nullspace of the curl-operator gives rise to serious dif- ficulties. It comprises a considerable part of all spectral modes on the finite element grid, tending to pollute the solution with non-physical contributions and crippling standard multilevel solvers. We tackle these problems by an adaptive multilevel algorithm. After every standard V-cycle with respect to the canonical basis of edge elements, the non- physical contributions are removed by a projection step. It requires the solution of Poisson’s equation, augmented by certain boundary terms, in the nullspace, which can be carried out efficiently by an inner multilevel iteration. The whole scheme yields convergence rates independent of the refinement level of the mesh. Furthermore, a simple criterion for meshes is derived which can resolve all field modes corresponding to negative eigenvalues. This requirement is essential to guarantee both stability and efficiency of an iterative multilevel solver for indefinite systems.
