AuraPortal BPM Presents Real Simulation in its Business Process Modeling

Leave a comment

Powerful technology allows any company to know during the design phase how its processes will act in execution, quickly detecting and solving any issues.

Woburn, MA, August 06, 2014 – AURA (www.auraportal.com), a global provider of AuraPortal.(*) Business Process Management (BPM) software, has enhanced the real simulation in its BPM suite’s process modeling tool, making it immediately available to not only the designers of the processes, but also to managers and business analysts, who can easily perform simulations on running processes in a real working environment.

AuraPortal has been distinguished with great advantage over its competitors by Ovum in its Decision Matrix report and by other renowned analyst firms.

Business Process Management tools generally offer as an additional mechanism the possibility to perform ‘simulations’, i.e., to execute the processes virtually in imaginary scenarios in order to understand and quantify any circumstances that affect their execution. These simulations should reveal bottlenecks, overloads, unequal distribution of workloads, excessive times, etc.

There are two non-exclusive ways to conduct simulations:
– Statistical Simulation, this is the most common but also the less reliable.
– Real Simulation, much more reliable. The BPM tool allows instant modifications to be made to the design of the processes and these modifications can be executed immediately, with no need for programming, both in real and imaginary environments.

This characteristic, which is generally unavailable in other BPM tools, forms part of AuraPortal.

BPM suites typically require the intervention, in varying degrees, of programmers or technical experts to incorporate modifications in the design of the processes, which makes it impossible to carry out tests of each modification on the fly.

With Real Simulation, the results obtained are a true reflection of what will actually happen when the process is executed in a real production environment, and everything can be tested in advance, safely and with maximum accuracy. This Simulation gives 100% assurance that what has been modeled is exactly what will be executed.

The 5th edition of this annual art soiree is all set to bring the Renaissance period alive in Bangalore with the theme for this year being European Art History. This festival, which is one of The Collection at UB City’s & Sublime Galleria’s annual proprietary events, is a celebration of art, culture and luxury. Art Bengaluru which started in 2010 is South India’s biggest art festival, which brings a mélange of artwork and artists from across the country as well as from abroad, under one roof. Art Bengaluru 2014 begins on 21st August 2014 and will continue till the 30th of the Month.

Every year, Art Bengaluru becomes bigger and better but this year’s edition is on a truly international scale. The art festival will showcase 13 top galleries including one from New York, one from Vietnam, apart from presenting one of China’s most popular artists, Liu Bolin and his work, for the first-time ever in India.

Also known as “The Invisible Man”, Bolin’s art has been showcased in museums across the world. Bolin will be exhibiting the now legendary “Hiding in the City” series – photographic works that began as performance art in 2005, apart from unveiling a creation that he’s working on exclusively for Art Bengaluru 2014.

Speaking about Art Bengaluru, Uzma Irfan – Executive Director, Corporate Communications – Prestige Group, Founder – Sublime Galleria and Conceptualizer & Organizer – Art Bengaluru said, “This year’s theme is the Renaissance period in European Art History, which is considered one of the richest eras for art, invention, culture & science. This period marks the beginning of new thinking, patronage and most importantly, the rebirth of classical art. Art Bengaluru, over the past 4 years, has attempted to increase art appreciation in the city and encourage fresh thinking, new ideologies pertaining to art and its mediums. Bangalore is home to some of the most liberal minds in the country and this celebrated event aims to carve a niche for Bangalore on the global map of Art & Luxury. The journey with Art Bengaluru this year will be both informative as well as a delight for the senses. I invite each and every one of you to make this event a success with your participation.”

About the Theme:
The 5th edition of Art Bengaluru aims to reflect upon the Renaissance period, one of the most prominent art periods in Europe, by highlighting some of the best works of art from around the world. The Collection at UB City, this year, will be transformed into a haven of European Art, giving us a glimpse of the past, by bringing alive the Renaissance period. The rich chapters of European Art History will be the inspiration for the décor, theme and installations within UB City, whose architecture already resonates an international theme. With mashaal lighting, a frame entrance, the Colosseum as the backdrop for the evening’s entertainment, the festival is all set to transport one back in time to one of the most enriching eras of European Art, showcased by a life-size book on the various famous paintings, junk art of paintings and an enormous scroll with information on the era.

The word ‘Renaissance’ is a French word meaning rebirth and refers to the revival of art and culture in Europe after the Middle Ages and to the actual revolution, focused around one of the city-states of Italy, Florence. This revolution was the resurgence of creative study and the glorification of artists, painters and sculptures. Michelangelo, Leonardo Da Vinci & Raphael were some of the famous artists from this period.

SmartTOP Convertible Top Controller by Mods4cars Now Available for BMW 4 Series Convertible

Leave a comment

Effective immediately, the aftermarket SmartTOP Convertible Top Controller offered by Mods4cars for the BMW 4 Series is available and in stock. It allows one-touch top operation while driving at slow speeds as well as opening and closing of the top from the original key fob remote. Installation is quick and easy and requires no tools whatsoever. A plug-and-play wiring adapter is included.

Las Vegas, NV (USA), August 05, 2014 — The SmartTOP Convertible Top Add-On kit offered by aftermarket automotive electronics specialist Mods4cars is now available for the just recently introduced BMW 4 Series Convertible. The product makes daily life with the convertible top a much more enjoyable experience. On one hand the top can be operated while driving at slow speeds and with one-touch convenience. It is no longer necessary to hold down the top switch. The SmartTOP customer gets to put both hands back on the steering wheel quickly.

On the other hand it is possible to control the top from the original key fob remote. “Our customers get the convenience to be able to operate the top fully automatically from a distance by just giving a command on the existing remote, even if they did not order the Comfort Access feature and also in countries where remote operation is not available at all.” explains PR-Manager Sven Tornow. This makes it possible to open the top while still approaching the car in order to air it out on hot days or to start the drive top-down. The top can also be closed from a distance, should dark clouds signal an imminent rainfall. No changes need to be made to the key fobs or the receiver system.

“We are delighted to be able to bring the SmartTOP for the new BMW 4 Series to market just weeks after the car itself became available. After having gotten many requests beforehand, we did everything possible so most of our customer will be able to enjoy the full SmartTOP convenience right after taking delivery of their 4 Series.” Sven Tornow continues. In addition to the main functions the module also offers a few bonus features such as separate control over windows and top from the remote and a setting to reverse the console top switch direction. An extended mode can be activated which allows starting or stopping of the engine while the top is in motion. The entire module can be deactivated temporarily when needed, while all user configurable settings are retained for when it is turned back on later.

Installation of the kit could not be easier. The SmartTOP module itself comes in the new, custom designed and very slim product enclosure which houses two LEDs for status information. A special OEM connector wiring adapter is also part of the kit. It connects the module to the car electronics by simply plugging in two connectors. The SmartTOP module comes with a built-in USB port for easy configuration via PC or Mac. Support software and also firmware updates for the SmartTOP products are available free of charge online.

The add-on kit for the new BMW 4 Series Convertible is available for 299 Euros + tax. SmartTOP is available for other BMWs like 1 Series, 3 Series, 6 Series, Z4 and also Mini. Many popular brands are supported by SmartTOP: Alfa, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Ford, Infiniti, Lamborghini, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mini, Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Volkswagen and Volvo.

About Mods4cars:
Mods4cars was founded in 2002 with the idea to add a highly demanded feature to the otherwise almost perfect Porsche Boxster: Comfort One-Touch roof operation while driving at slow speeds. The resulting product offered not only that, but also allowed quick and easy installation by just swapping out a relay box, thus leaving no traces and no permanent changes on the vehicle. The first SmartTOP roof controller was born.

The success of their first products in Germany and Europe prompted them in late 2004 to move operations to the USA, to be able to serve the American market as well as all other English speaking countries such as Australia, UK and South Africa from one central location. Their business has grown to a full-fledged international corporation with an office in Las Vegas and a full line of innovative products as well as distributors and installation partners all over the globe.

Being highly specialized in the development and distribution of aftermarket roof- and comfort controllers since 2002 allows them to offer an unsurpassed level of competence and product quality. Their main goal is optimization of each individual product to a maximum in compatibility, usability and intuitive operation. They put greatest effort into development and quality checks of all their products to achieve this goal and meet all expectations of their customers.

The extraordinary success of their products is also based on the great communication with their customers, which usually already starts for each new product during the development and prototyping phase.

FPL Helps Customers Save On Their Energy Bills with Seven Summer Tips

Leave a comment

Easy savings are just a click away with Florida Power & Light’s free Online Home Energy Survey.

JUNO BEACH, Fla. (August 5, 2014) — Summer is synonymous with higher temperatures, and that may also mean higher than normal energy bills. As the days get longer and hotter, your air conditioner needs to run longer to keep you cool and can account for half or more of your bill.

“In hotter months, your A/C can run up to twice as long as it does in cooler months to keep your home at the same temperature. So when it’s running longer, your bill will be higher,” said FPL Energy Expert, Tiffany Spence.

To help customers make summer savings a breeze, FPL offers “Seven Summer Saving Tips”:

1. Set your thermostat at 78 degrees when you’re home, and 82 while you’re away. Make sure the fan switch is on “auto”
2. Use fans to keep cool but remember to turn them off when leaving the room
3. Close blinds and shades to keep heat out
4. Seal windows and doors with weather stripping to avoid air escapes and save even more
5. Grill outside instead of using the oven or stove to help keep your kitchen cool
6. Clean or replace your air filter regularly so your air conditioner runs efficiently
7. Just click to take FPL’s free Online Home Energy Survey at FPL.com/easytosave

The Online Home Energy Survey makes it easier than ever to fast-forward to savings. It provides customers with a personalized energy-savings plan, tips and recommendations to save up to $250 a year in energy costs. In addition, the survey is integrated with each home’s Energy Dashboard so customers can see just how much they are spending on cooling, heating and appliances. The survey’s report is updated automatically every month with customers’ hourly, daily and monthly energy usage, monthly bill amount and temperature fluctuations, so tracking where their energy dollars are being spent is a breeze.

“FPL customers have the lowest bill in the state and we’re always looking for ways to help them make it even lower,” added Spence. “Whether it’s adjusting our thermostats, remembering to turn off a fan when leaving the room or enjoying a nice evening grilling with family and friends, we’re all just a click away from changing the current way we use energy to make our bills even lower.”

Visit FPL.com/easytosave to take FPL’s Online Home Energy Survey today.

LondonTown.com: Four exciting designers prepare to take over one of London’s best museums

Leave a comment

The Design Museum’s Designer In Residence 2014 exhibition will explore the theme of Disruption as the annual event enters its fourth year. The exhibition encourages four rising designers to take over a gallery at the Design Museum in London Bridge and fill it with their most disruptive ideas between 10th September 2014 and 8th March 2015. The museum is located on the Thames near London Bridge, where it is close to some of the best restaurants, shops and hotels in London. For more information about London Bridge and to book rooms in London hotels, see LondonTown.com.

The four designers that will feature at the Designers In Residence 2014 exhibition are James Christian, Ilona Gaynor, Torsten Sherwood and Patrick Stevenson-Keating. Each has responded to the theme of ‘disruption’ with a specially developed project, showcased for the first time at the Design Museum. These will include looks at housing, featuring hypothetical housing models for the city; law, exploring the eccentricities within the judicial system with props, drawings, maps and models; play, presenting an alternative archetype for the construction toy, moving beyond the familiar building brick and offering new possibilities in the form of simple cardboard discs that overlap, bend and join to create forms in an almost endless array of combinations; and finance, q uestioning our use of financial technologies with a new cash machine, currency and devices for credit card payments.

Alongside the Designers in Residence 2014 exhibition will be a series of events including sketching tours, designer talks, and evening socials. For more information on this exhibition as well as other exhibitions at the Design Museum, see LondonTown.com, London’s best website for tourists seeking the best and most up-to-date information about events in London.

Leave a comment

The Portobello Film Festival was started in 1996 and was intended to provide a forum for new film makers to show their films. The festival has been dubbed the wild side of Brit film and is one of the biggest celebrations of independent film in Europe.

In the past, film makers such as Guy Richie and Don Letts have both shown films at the Festival, Hexstatic showed their stunning “Natural Rhythm Trilogy” along with Giles Thacker’s (Orbital) image wizardry and Phil Smith presented the only public showing of his Metalhedz/Blue Note documentary.

This year the festival is comprised of three main events, the Portobello free London film festival, the Portobello free rock and roll film festival and the Portobello free world film festival.

The London film festival will feature non-stop, hot off the edit suite London movies. Most of which will be shorts.
