The Right

In the commercial world, SOA implementation practitioners are finding a gulf between tools, whether vendor-based or open source, and the practical first needs of customers. Future-facing tool developers are addressing problems of orchestration to achieve the SOA promise. Most corporations, however, have not yet established either the services to be abstracted, or the governance requirements around exposing those services, such as the right level of service granularity. This case study is based on recent experience in the utility and retail sectors. The drivers for each are compelling: a business-driven need for IT flexibility. Examples are provided to show that customers in both sectors need to develop their architecture and governance before attempting to choose the right tools. Confusion also exists between tools and off-the-shelf solutions in the SOA environment. The challenge of agile approach for SOA development is also examined.

Electric Current Passing

I have devised the following apparatus for demonstrating a relation of current electricity to magnetism and heat. A A, fig. 3, is a wooden base, upon which is supported, by four brass clamps, two, B, B, on each side, a coil of wire, C; the coil is 6 inches long, 1½ inch external diameter, and ⅜ of an inch internal diameter, lined with a thin glass tube; it consists of 18 layers, or about 3000 turns of insulated copper wire of 0·415 millim. diameter (or size No. 26 of ordinary wire-gauge); D is a permanent bar-magnet held in its place by the screws E, E, and having upon its poles two flat armatures of soft iron, F, F, placed edgewise. Within the axis of the coil is a straight wire of soft iron, G, one end of which is held fast by the pillar-screw H, and the other by the cylindrical binding-screw I; the latter screw has a hook, to which is attached a vulcanized india-rubber band, J, which is stretched and held secure by the hooked brass rod K and the pillar-screw L. The screw H is surmounted by a small mercury cup for making connexions with one pole of a voltaic battery, the other pole of the battery being secured to the pillar-screw M, which is also surmounted by a small mercury cup, and is connected with the cylindrical binding-screw I by a copper wire with a middle flattened portion O to impart to it flexibility. The two ends of the fine wire coil are soldered to two small binding-screws at the back; those screws are but partly shown in the sketch, and are for the purpose of connexion with a suitable galvanometer. The armatures F, F are grooved on their upper edges, and the iron wire lies in these grooves in contact with them; and to prevent the electric current passing through the magnet, a small piece of paper or other thin non-conductor is inserted between the magnet and one of the armatures. The battery employed consisted of six Grove’s elements (arranged in one series), with the immersed portion of platinum plates about 5 inches by 3 inches; it was sufficiently strong to heat an iron wire 1·03 millim. diameter and 20·5 centims. long to a low red heat.

First Time

The refractive index change caused by KCl diffusing from a cylinder into agar gel was found to distort a grid projected through it by laser light. By ray tracing and Fermat’s Principle it was shown that values of concentration of KCl at various times and distances were within experimental error of those calculated from the transient diffusion equation for diffusion from a cylindrical source. The diffusion equation was derived for the first time using Eyres’ method. Since the model and mechanism were confirmed as correct by experiment it was then possible to design a computer program to predict transient concentration gradients and hence concentration at any distance and time. The program has built into it flexibility to deal with such expected variables in soil as tortuosity, water content, etc., as well as different diffusion coefficients for different nutrients and also multiple sources. Such a program should be very valuable to fertilizer suppliers in designing timed release capsules and to those using them to obtain optimum nutrient concentrations in a volume of concern of soil.

<p><strong>Abstract:</strong> The purpose of this study was to find out in detail the creative thinking of students with low mathematical abilities in solving ill-structured problems. This type of research is a case study, tconducted at SMPN 4 Waru (State Junior High School 4 Waru), Sidoarjo. 16 Students complete the ill-structured problem test, then subjects are chosen who have a level of creative thinking in the creative category and have low mathematical abilities. The results of the study showed students fulfilled the fluency aspect based on students' ability to provide at least two correct answers and were able to explain it. Flexibility aspects are fulfilled based on students' abilities in each answer written using different ideas. While the novelty aspect is not fulfilled because students do not give any unusual answers.</p><strong>Abstrak:</strong><em> </em>Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis berpikir kreatif siswa berkemampuan matematika rendah dalam menyelesaikan <em>ill-structured problem</em>.

Research Questions

The development of innovation capabilities is crucial for modern organizations. This research builds on the dynamic capability view and aims to understand how a specific quality of the IT infrastructure, that is, IT flexibility, through the development of IT-enabled dynamic capabilities (ITDCs), leads to innovation gains. The authors empirically validate their main research questions and associated research model using multiple regression analyses on a sample of 138 Dutch firms. They gathered this data through respondent-driven sampling. This study uncovers that IT flexibility is a key attribute in the development of ITDCs. Also, their empirical results support that claim that the development of ITDCs fosters organizations' capability to innovate. These outcomes substantiate our claim that IT is an essential facilitator for innovation capabilities. They also uncovered that the effect of IT flexibility, through ITDCs on innovation capabilities is independent of the complexity of the market. As such, this work contributes to the current practical and theoretical knowledge base of both IT and business.

Systematic Synthesis

Information Technology (IT) projects are more and more aligned with business goals. Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) was introduced to achieve this, align business with IT, and increase IT flexibility, reuse of services in more manageable way. Unfortunately, healthcare organisations that have adopted SOA have yet to benefit from their investment. Industry analysts and academics agree that SOA Governance is a critical success factors for SOA projects. Addressing the substantial research gap, this chapter investigates longstanding challenges and proposes a SOA Governance framework as a way to improve IT/SOA success and guide the alignment of IT and business. The authors present a systematic synthesis of the latest research findings and professional experience on SOA Governance considerations for successful IT projects.

It Flexibility

Purpose Big data and predictive analytics (BDPA) has received great attention in terms of its role in making business decisions. However, current knowledge on BDPA regarding how it might link organizational capabilities and organizational performance (OP) remains unclear. Drawing from the resource-based view, the purpose of this paper is to propose a model to examine how information technology (IT) deployment (i.e. strategic IT flexibility, business–BDPA partnership and business–BDPA alignment) and HR capabilities affect OP through BDPA. Design/methodology/approach To test the proposed hypotheses, structural equation modeling is applied on survey data collected from 159 Indian firms. Findings The results show that BDPA diffusion mediates the influence of IT deployment and HR capabilities on OP. In addition, there is a direct effect of IT deployment and HR capabilities on BDPA diffusion, which also has a direct relationship with OP. Originality/value Through this study, authors demonstrate that IT deployment and HR capabilities have an indirect impact on OP through BDPA diffusion.
