Benefits of ICT in the construction industry - characterization of the present situation in house-building processes

Departing from the hypothesis that R&D within ICT plays an essential role in the transformation of the construction sector from a traditional to an industrialised process, a joint Swedish and French project has been carried out (to be completed in April 2007) to assess the short and medium term possibilities to improve efficiency and quality in multi-storey house-building. This paper describes

Cloud ERP Adoption Opportunities and Concerns: A Comparison between SMES and Large Companies

Cloud computing has become one of the fastest growing segments of the IT industry. In the wake of this, cloud based Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems have emerged as an alternative to traditional ERPs These systems require low upfront investments and can rapidly be deployed, as they are provided over the cloud. In this study we seek to unravel cloud ERP adoption by identifying and classif

How Iran Adapts Itself to International Sanctions: Asianization of Trade and Economic Regionalism

In fact, a chief strategy of the Iranian government to minimise the grave economic effects of sanctions has been to shift its international trade direction from the West to the East and resort to further regional ties. In other words, the government has moved to adapt itself to the pressing circumstances by adopting a trade policy of Asianization and economic regionalism. It cannot be denied that

The objective of this paper is to briefly examine and contrast the two audiovisual productions of Swedish author Stieg Larsson’s first novel The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo from the perspective that the two films were prepared, shot and finalized within vastly dissimilar production economies. The rationale behind the examination is that it seemingly reveals certain paradoxes that appear to challen

The development of European renewable energy policy – exploring the present and anticipating the future

European renewable energy policy has gone through a remarkable development over the last few years. It has moved from being a predominantly national-level concern with a focus on environmental issues to a top European policy agenda item where security of supply and competitiveness concerns figure with equal prominence. In 2007 and 2008 EU established a very forceful policy framework with ambitiou

Optimal Levels for the Two-phase, Piecewise Constant Mumford-Shah Functional

Recent results have shown that denoising an image with the Rudin, Osher and Fatemi (ROF) total variation model can be accomplished by solving a series of binary optimization problems. We observe that this fact can be used in the other direction. The procedure is applied to the two-phase, piecewise constant Mumford-Shah functional, where an image is approximated with a function taking only two valu

Communication through B2MML - is that possible?

Many of you have certainly heard about the ISA S95 standard, and you know that it treats the subject of how Enterprise/business systems such as e.g., SAP, Baan, Movex etc should be integrated with manufacturing and control systems You might also be aware that of B2MML (Business to Manufacturing Markup Language), a set of XML schemas corresponding to the S95 object models.
