TD-0002 is the Guidelines to Rapporteurs and Editors of ITU-T SG 8. TD-0003 contains additional relevant documents for Rapporteurs and editors. Q1 APPLI/COM (T.611) J-P. Dick (France Telecom), Rapporteur. Meeting report: TD-2038. D-121 (editor R. Grundmann, DBT) is the restructured draft of T.611 dated October 24, 1993. This is the baseline document for editing purposes. TD-2015 §§ 3.1, 4.4 and 6.1 are accepted revisions to D-121. A history of the revisions from the T.611 recommendation to this new draft is provided in D-120. Extensions to D-121 for e-mail (COM 8-8 [Rapporteur] and D-78 [DBT]) were accepted. However, the proposal to change CONVERT to TYPE for Multi Body part messages was rejected. A new parameter, CA-ID, was added (Points 1-4 in D-103 [TR-29, USA]). The need for management functions (point 7 in D-103) was acknowledged and will be supported by management functions as proposed in COM 8-14 (France Telecom). All remaining issues from D-103, including TRACE: PREVIEW, were accepted and will be included in the draft proposed for Resolution 1 procedures in June 1994. The draft T.611 proposed for Resolution 1 will also include extensions for e-mail, posting, polling file transfer, and an improved exchange mechanism. COM 8-13 (France Telecom) describes the improved exchange mechanism; D-119 (DBT) provides an implementation example. Backward compatibility with T.611 (1992) is maintained. The new functions incorporated are: the alarm, login, logout mechanisms, and the transfer of data from the LA to the CA and vice versa. A Rapporteurs meeting is planned for February 1994 following the SG 7 meeting. A total of 31 documents were reviewed: COM 8-5 through -15, COM 8-21 through -26, D-78, D-102, D- 103, D-112, D-118 through D-121, D-125, TD-2001, TD-2004, TD-2014, TD-2015. Q2 VIDEOTEX SYNTAX H. Layec (FRANCE Telecom), Rapporteur. Meeting report: TD-3053. Modifications to T.101 (International Interworking for Videotex Services) were agreed to. TD-3052 shows the modifications approved to Annex F (Videotex Photographic Syntax). The work plan intent is to apply for Res. 1 for T.101 at the next SG 8 meeting. Q3 OPEN DOCUMENT ARCHITECTURE (ODA) H. Silbiger (AT&T, USA) Rapporteur. US meeting report: TD-1034. This work is being done jointly with JTC 1/SC18/WG3 as an ODA Collaborative Team and progress is principally made at joint meetings outside of Geneva. Most of the activity at this meeting concerned the addition of JBIG and JPEG to T.417 (Raster Graphics Content Architecture) (D-82). Some additional attributes are needed, but this work is expected to be completed at the next meeting. The following drafts are up for Resolution 1 approval at the June 1994 meeting: • Rec. T.413 - Abstract Interface for the Manipulation of ODA Documents (D-20) • Rec. T.421 - Tabular Structures and Tabular Layout (TD-1004) • Rec. T.424 - Temporal relationships and Non-linear Structures (D-126) • Amendment on Sub-profiles to Rec. T.414 / ISO/IEC 8613-4 - Document Profile - Sub-profiles (D-39) A Q3/SC18 WG3 ODA CT meeting is planned for Helsinki, Finland, June 8 – 17, 1994. January, 1994 Vol. 5.1 Copyright

  • Strategic Use of the Internet and E-Commerce: Cisco Systems
    Journal of Strategic Information Systems 11 (2002) 5±29 www.elsevier.com/locate/jsis Strategic use of the Internet and e-commerce: Cisco Systems Kenneth L. Kraemer*, Jason Dedrick Graduate School of Management and Center for Research on Information Technology and Organizations, University of California, Irvine, 3200 Berkeley Place, Irvine, CA 92697-4650, USA Accepted 3October 2001 Abstract Information systems are strategic to the extent that they support a ®rm's business strategy. Cisco Systems has used the Internet and its own information systems to support its strategy in several ways: (1) to create a business ecology around its technology standards; (2) to coordinate a virtual organiza- tion that allows it to concentrate on product innovation while outsourcing other functions; (3) to showcase its own use of the Internet as a marketing tool. Cisco's strategy and execution enabled it to dominate key networking standards and sustain high growth rates throughout the 1990s. In late 2000, however, Cisco's market collapsed and the company was left with billions of dollars in unsold inventory, calling into question the ability of its information systems to help it anticipate and respond effectively to a decline in demand. q 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.

Introduction Information systems are strategic to the extent that they are used to support or enable different elements of a ®rm's business strategy (Porter and Millar, 1985). Cisco Systems, the world's largest networking equipment company, has used the Internet, electronic commerce (e-commerce), and information systems as part of its broad strategy of estab- lishing a dominant technology standard in the Internet era.

  • Digital Radio Technology and Applications
    it DIGITAL RADIO TECHNOLOGY AND APPLICATIONS Proceedings of an International Workshop organized by the International Development Research Centre, Volunteers in Technical Assistance, and United Nations University, held in Nairobi, Kenya, 24-26 August 1992 Edited by Harun Baiya (VITA, Kenya) David Balson (IDRC, Canada) Gary Garriott (VITA, USA) 1 1 X 1594 F SN % , IleCl- -.01 INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT RESEARCH CENTRE Ottawa Cairo Dakar Johannesburg Montevideo Nairobi New Delhi 0 Singapore 141 V /IL s 0 /'A- 0 . Preface The International Workshop on Digital Radio Technology and Applications was a milestone event. For the first time, it brought together many of those using low-cost radio systems for development and humanitarian-based computer communications in Africa and Asia, in both terrestrial and satellite environments. Ten years ago the prospect of seeing all these people in one place to share their experiences was only a far-off dream. At that time no one really had a clue whether there would be interest, funding and expertise available to exploit these technologies for relief and development applications. VITA and IDRC are pleased to have been involved in various capacities in these efforts right from the beginning. As mentioned in VITA's welcome at the Workshop, we can all be proud to have participated in a pioneering effort to bring the benefits of modern information and communications technology to those that most need and deserve it. But now the Workshop is history. We hope that the next ten years will take these technologies beyond the realm of experimentation and demonstration into the mainstream of development strategies and programs.

  • End-Of-Life Treatment of Radio Base Station Transceivers in Europe, Japan and the USA – a Life Cycle Assessment Study
    End-of-Life treatment of Radio Base Station transceivers in Europe, Japan and the USA – a Life Cycle Assessment study Anna Grunewald Jessica Gustavsson Stockholm 991210 TRITA-KTH-IM 1999:22 Lith-IKP-ING-EX--99/19--SE Preface This study was initiated by Ericsson Radio Systems AB and carried out as a co-operation between Ericsson Radio Systems AB, Linköping Institute of Technology and the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm during the summer and autumn of 1999. First of all, we would like to thank our supervisors during the project, Susanne Lundberg at Ericsson Radio Systems AB, Jörgen Furuhjelm at Linköping Institute of Technology and Lennart Nilson at the Royal Institute of Technology for valuable help and guidance throughout the project. We would also like to express our gratitude to Jens Malmodin, Richard Trankell and Elaine Weidman at Ericsson Radio Systems AB and to Fjalar Kommonen at FFK Ltd for all their help. One of the most difficult tasks in this study was to develop probable logistic scenarios for the take-back of discarded transceivers. We would like to take this opportunity to thank amongst others Rickard Slettmyr and Mattias Sundstedt at Ericsson Radio Systems AB and Mikael Hietarinta at Nippon Ericsson for taking time to help us with this. Finally, we would like to thank our contact persons at the involved recycling companies, who have provided valuable information to the study; Kazuo Suzuki at Total Environmental Recycling Management, Mike Ogle and Darrel Stoecklin at United Recycling Industries Inc., Johan Zwart at MIREC B.V., Lennart Edvinsson at Ragn-Sells Elektronikåtervinning AB, Anders Axelsson and Sune Nordström at AB Arv Andersson, Sören Brännström and Theo Lehner at Boliden AB, Lars Cronquist at Gotthard Aluminium AB and Christer Forsgren at SAKAB.

Gray Prologue Source coding/compression/quantization A unique aspect of the Shannon Lecture is the daunting fact that the lecturer has a year to prepare for (obsess over?) a single lec- source reproduction ture. The experience begins with the comfort of a seemingly infi- { } - bits- - Xn encoder decoder {Xˆn} nite time horizon and ends with a relativity-like speedup of time as the date approaches. I early on adopted a few guidelines: I had (1) a great excuse to review my more than four decades of Simulation/synthesis/fake process information theoretic activity and historical threads extending simulation even further back, (2) a strong desire to avoid repeating the top- - - ics and content I had worn thin during 2006–07 as an interconti- random bits coder {X˜n} nental itinerant lecturer for the Signal Processing Society, (3) an equally strong desire to revive some of my favorite topics from the mid 1970s—my most active and focused period doing Figure 1: Source coding and simulation. unadulterated information theory, and (4) a strong wish to add something new taking advantage of hindsight and experience, The goal of source coding [1] is to communicate or transmit preferably a new twist on some old ideas that had not been pre- the source through a constrained, discrete, noiseless com- viously fully exploited.
