Software developers and testers have to work together to achieve the goals of software development projects. In globally distributed software projects the development and testing are often scattered across multiple locations forming virtual teams. Further, the distributed projects are so complex...
...integrated method for risk and compliance assessment and its evaluation in a case study. The sophistication with which modern business is carried out and the unprecedented access to a global market means that businesses are exposed to diverse regulatory requirements in and across jurisdictions. Compliance...
...the linear and predictable practice in projects to one that embrace the complex nature and role of the human element and interrelations. This tendency would make projects to become complex nonlinear systems. Though projects incorporate other elements such as technology, tools, methods and models, the...
This paper deals with selection of sensor network communication topology and the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for data gathering. The topology consists of a set of cluster heads that communicate with the UAV. In conventional wireless sensor networks Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy...
...such as multi-core CPUs and graphic processing units. As the amount of medical image data increases, it is crucial to exploit the computational power of these processors. However, this is currently difficult due to several factors, such as driver errors, processor differences, and the need for low-level...
...knowledge on the dust formation and clustering in the ferroalloy industry. Specifically, this paper focuses on the evaporation of manganese metal, and how different parameters influence the evaporation rate. Experiments were done with pure manganese metal heated to between 1400 and 1700 °C in a pure argon atmosphere...
...complex and depends on several conditions, including stress state and stress history. Different drainage conditions, dispersion - often associated with pore fluid effects – heterogeneities and strain amplitude are all potential reasons for this discrepancy. Moreover, comparison of static and dynamic...
Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) typically rely on a highly heterogeneous interconnection of platforms and devices offering a diversity of complementary capabilities: from cloud server with their virtually unlimited resources to tiny microcontrollers supporting the connection to the physical world. This...
...because the new functions, services, and operability offered by the MES needs to be aligned with existing business processes and practices. Considering the human, technological, and organizational aspects holistically, this paper outlines critical success criteria and proposes an organizational readiness...
...derived from two-stage concentrated sulfuric acid hydrolysis of Trembling aspen (Populus tremula) and Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) were investigated. Three types of hydrolyzates were produced at mild, moderate and high decrystallization severity conditions. Portions of each of the original hydrolyzates were...
