The Design of Hotel Performance Management System in Padang

As a tourist place, Indonesia is supported by its beautiful natural scenaries and unique cultures. Actually most of Indonesia incomes came from tourism sectors. Padang as the administrative center of West Sumatra is one of tourism places in Indonesia. Unfortunately, all the facilities and touris actractions here need improvement, for example the hotels. Hotels in Padang need attention on the performance Hotels in Padang need attention on the performance This hotel depends on profit targets and classification of IHRA (Indonesian Hotel & Restaurant Association). For the increasement of this hotel, SWOT (Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, Threats) analysis and balanced scorecard method were applied. It began with the strategic information gathering based on interviewing the company, then continue processing it into a questionnaire which based on SWOT research. At this point, it is known that Premier Basko Hotel is in quadrant II (strength-threat) SWOT analysis diagram. So, this hotel needs to implement a diversification strategy. It also has 14 types of alternative strategies with strategic goals, 14 factors on Critical Success Factors (CSF), 38 indicators on Key Performance Indicators (KPI), and 38 pieces forms of performance management system. All of these are as the form of guidelines for the performance management system Premier Basko Hotel

Pattern Recognition

A wealth of advanced pattern recognition algorithms are emerging from the interdiscipline between technologies of effective visual features and the human-brain cognition process. Effective visual features are made possible through the rapid developments in appropriate sensor equipments, novel filter designs, and viable information processing architectures. While the understanding of human-brain cognition process broadens the way in which the computer can perform pattern recognition tasks. The present book is intended to collect representative researches around the globe focusing on low-level vision, filter design, features and image descriptors, data mining and analysis, and biologically inspired algorithms. The 27 chapters coved in this book disclose recent advances and new ideas in promoting the techniques, technology and applications of pattern recognition

OPTIMIZED ARCHITECTURE DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF OBJECT TRACKING ALGORITHM ON FPGA

FPGA based Object tracking implementation is one of the most recent video surveillance applications in embedded systems. In general, FPGA implementation is more efficient than general purpose computers in attaining high throughput due to its parallelism and execution speed. The system need to be designed on a standard frame rate in such a way to achieve optimal performance in real time environment. Optimal design of a system is dependent on minimizing the cost, area (device utility) and power while achieving the required speed. Past research work that investigated object tracking systems' implementation on FPGA achieved a significantly high throughput but have shown high device utilization. This research work aims at optimizing the device utilization under real time constraints. The Adaptive Hybrid Difference algorithm (AHD), which is used to detect the moving objects, was chosen to be implemented on FPGA due to its computation ability and efficiency with regard to hardware implementation. AHD can work at various lighting conditions automatically by determining the adaptive threshold in every period of time

MS FT-2-2 7 Orthogonal polynomials and quadrature: Theory, computation, and applications

Quadrature rules find many applications in science and engineering. Their analysis is a classical area of applied mathematics and continues to attract considerable attention. This seminar brings together speakers with expertise in a large variety of quadrature rules. It is the aim of the seminar to provide an overview of recent developments in the analysis of quadrature rules. The computation of error estimates and novel applications also are described
