Notes: The adoption of electronic commerce strategies is becoming an important means of assisting industries, and indeed whole economies, to gain significant net benefits. The extent to which e-commerce-based strategies, such as quick response and efficient consumer response, might have an effect on local economies depends in part on how readily they are being adopted. The dominant form of adoption of these strategies is to be found in the business-to-business forms of e-commerce. To be successful, business partners must be in a position to develop customer intimacy through sharing of information, to improve their stock replenishment practices, and enhance their levels of online customer support. This paper presents the initial results of a national survey completed in the retail sector of the Australian economy, that assesses how well Australian industry is responding to these e-commerce challenges.

Notes: This paper describes a parallel implementation of LDLT factorization on a distributed-memory parallel computer. Specifically, the parallel LDLT factorization procedure is based on a row-oriented sparse storage scheme. In addition, a strategy is proposed for the parallel solution of a triangular system of equations. The strategy is to compute the inverses of the dense principal diagonal block submatrices of the factor L, stored in a row-oriented structure. Experimental results for a number of finite element models are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the parallel solution schemes.
