...The case study addresses the history of the radio economy and WFNX’s struggle to maintain a competitor in the industry. WFNX-101.7 FM was a small radio station started by a local media conglomerate called The Phoenix Media/ Communications Group in 1983. WFNX was actually founded to serve as a link to the company’s flagship newspaper “The Boston Phoenix” which was known as the largest alternative weekly in New England. Speaking from an external standpoint, the industry’s consumers were well educated, affluent, well-read, single professionals and students at the time that were unsatisfied with mainstream media. These were the targets of the newspaper, and as a result WFNX would speak out to them in their own form of “alternative music.” Critical issues arise already because this company goes against mainstream media and is targeted toward a smaller minority of individuals. Alternative music was newly being introduced and proved to be acceptable on a smaller scale than other forms of music such as Rock and Roll and Pop. The biggest key internal problem faced by the company is the stubbornness and lack of long-term vision in their human resources (PD Program Directors). The company received a huge spurt in growth after their Green Day concert; however their follow-up was rendered useless. Kurt St. Thomas’s prophetic vision created an excellent opportunity for the little 3,000 watt radio station to become a major competitor in the radio industry. While their competitors worked...

...A Survey of Checkpointing Strategies for Shared-Memory HPC Applications Ana Gainaru,Aparna Sasidharan,Jorge Mario Cara Carmona University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign April 25, 2012 1 Introduction Fault tolerant protocols have always been a major research topic for the HPC community. Harnessing microprocessors to solve large computational problems has required the use of many microprocessors in a single system. Whereas today the large server machines in the business sector may have as many as 32 processors, large supercomputers can have thousands or tens of thousands of processors in a single machine. While this approach has proven itself to be highly effective in expanding the limits of computational capability, it has also brought to the foreground new challenges that did not arise in smaller systems. Fault tolerance is one such critical challenge.The problem of fault tolerance in modern systems arises from two important HPC trends. First is the rising frequency of faults in systems. Second is the increasing size and running times of applications running on these systems, making them more vulnerable to these faults. HPC systems are vulnerable to faults for three major reasons. First, whereas older machines were built from custommade,high-quality components, modern systems use commodity components that were designed and built for a less reliability-aware market. Second, as modern systems are made from more and more components, the probability of one of them failing...

...1.Describe the purpose of an RPC. A) Remote Procedure Call (RPC) provides a different pattern for accessing network services.It provides Instead of accessing remote services by sending and receiving messages, a client invokes services by making a local procedure call. The local procedure hides the details of the network communication. The main purpose of RPC is to hide the existence of the network from a program.RPC is especially well suited for client-server (e.g., query-response) interaction in which the flow of control alternates between the client and server. Conceptually, the client and server do not both execute at the same time. Instead, the thread of execution jumps from the caller to the callee and then back again. 2. When two computers request a connection, what are the four primary actions that the Session Layer takes? A)the two...

The technological advancements in communication discussed in the article, “Superhero in the Cubicle” were Smartsheet from smartsheet.com, IBM Lotus Connections by Big Blue, Near Time, Web 2.0 Mashup by Kapow Technoloand, Confluence from Atlssian. Q: Choose two communication types; compare and contrast them. How could these be used in you workplace? IBM Lotus Connections and Confluence are the two communications types that I would consider using for my work place. IBM Lotus Connections and Confluence are collaborative Web technology tools that allow communications that use social computing. They both are user friendly and help users to making informed decisions. In my work place I need to have a communication that can keep track of data that can be communicated through out a group of people interested in moving to our community. The Confluence is used by universities for student information systems. Students from all university’s can communicate. This is a system we could use to communicate what each City has to offer Site Seekers. Q: Do these technological advancements in communication follow what is traditionally considered business communications? Why? In today’s modern technology most businesses tend...

...CheckPoint Technology-Trendy Communication XCOM/285 June 15, 2012 CheckPoint Technology-Trendy Communication Business communications has changed since the Internet has evolved. Before the Internet we had telephone and typewriters, or telegraph then the FAX machine was invented. Now, we have e-commerce, m-commerce, and social networking. The technology has become so easy to communicate in a moment’s notice. A business can communicate new updates on their web sites or twitter it. With a program called “calling post” a company can pay a fee and t program groups with phone numbers. If they need to get information out fast, they just make one call, and it will send out a call to everyone on that list at the same time. This is a program used by companies such as the Chamber of Commerce. If they need to contact the whole membership to remind them of a ribbon cutting, all they have to do is select whole membership and record the message. The message will go to everyone on that list. This saves money, time and gets the information out in a timely fashion. Everyone will get the message at the same time. The whole membership could be 200 to 1000 phone calls at one time. I feel business does utilize the new technology. Business is behind the times if they do not utilize the technology of today. They are losing business if they are “behind the times”. E-mail alone is required by most companies to communicate. Marketing of the Internet, by using web site and social...
