Technical Report: Preliminary Development of Computational Sensitivity Analysis

Overview This paper presents the use of sensitivity analysis in computer science, aiming to improve the stability in real-time computer applications (Power Grid, Nuclear Reactors or any control systems). Concepts of sensitivity analysis are used to study the uncertainty in computer programs due to small perturbations of the parameters. The ideas of mathematical and computational methods of sensitivity analysis are discussed in detail. Some of the advantages and disadvantages of both these methods are addressed. A user-friendly GUI tool is developed to compute sensitivities of application codes using VB.NET, C, and Visual Basic Applications for Excel macros. The tool was developed based on the computational method of sensitivity analysis.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
