The STEM newsletter is a quarterly bulletin designed to keep you informed of the latest developments in STEM: interesting applications, the latest features and a series of how-does-it-work articles, together with news of forthcoming events.
STEM 7.3 Beta 1 release
A new version of the STEM modelling platform is ‘just around the corner’. A first beta release is now available which implements a great many refinements to the software interfaces, all designed to make STEM more welcoming and easier to learn. The new version 7.3 also puts the automatic generation of Internet-enabled Web GUIs in the hands of regular STEM users, together with incremental modelling for shorter time periods and a new time-shift function for modelling ‘time to build’.
Implied Logic on Facebook
It had to happen. We created a page for Implied Logic on Facebook. So why should you care about that? We suggest that you write any initial thoughts on our Wall! And then you can see what other people think about it too. And of course if you ‘like’ the Implied Logic page, then you will receive notifications of any interesting activity.
Sharing business models on the web just got one step easier. If you don’t have the time to manage your own web server, Implied Logic can host the implementation for you. We now have an ‘out of the box’ solution that can publish a web GUI for your models in a matter of minutes.
We have added some profiles to our website to make it easier for you to meet our core team and international network of consulting partners.
Maximum utilisation before deployment
A technical question buried in the Techniques from the road on ring dimensioning article in our July 2011 newsletter has gone largely unnoticed, and a subsequent plan to air the same issue at the STEM User Group Meeting in October 2011 was foiled by the corresponding presentation being side-lined to make way for a number of guest presentations. The issue is: which of these technical considerations should ‘come first’?
How would you design an efficient, macro-economic simulation of an irregular series of capacity upgrade steps deployed separately at each base-station site in a mobile network where the local growth in demand (and timing of required upgrades) varies by site?
Twenty delegates from twelve different organisations representing operators, vendors, consultants and academics attended the 16th annual STEM User Group Meeting in October. Register now to access the full proceedings, including modelling examples and new product features.
Fibre rings are a ubiquitous feature of broadband networks and therefore feature prominently in planning and cost modelling exercises. There are well established techniques for estimating the so-called ‘geographical overhead’ of such topologies without ever ‘drawing a map’, and we routinely coach clients through the required methodology.
Our most recent business-modelling event used audience participation to illustrate statistical truths relevant to technology planning for radio-access networks or so-called ‘over the top’ (OTT) video.
