Distributed applications are a necessity in most central application sectors of the contemporary information society, including e-commerce, e-banking, e-learning, e-health, telecommunication and transportation. This results from a tremendous growth of the role that the Internet plays in business, administration and our everyday activities. This trend is going to be even further expanded in the context of advances in broadband wireless communication.
New Developments in Distributed Applications and Interoperable Systems focuses on the techniques available or under development with the goal to ease the burden of constructing reliable and maintainable interoperable information systems providing services in the global communicating environment.
The topics covered in this book include: Context-aware applications; Integration and interoperability of distributed systems; Software architectures and services for open distributed systems; Management, security and quality of… More >>

Educational Innovation in Economics and Business: Pedagogy, Technology and Innovation VIII: v. 8

This book is the result of a unique dialogue: a workshop that took place in the heart of Slovenia brought together academics and industrial scientists, engineers and social scientists to discuss and explore the strategic implications of technology management and assessment. The wide-ranging and intense discussions explored many key issues, such as those concerning the role of academia in supporting industrial practice (and vice versa), and the emerging research agenda in the assessment and management of manufacturing technology innovation. The distilled essence of the debate is presented here as a basis for a developing wisdom of technology: a technosophy. It is only through industrial-academic and interdisciplinary research and development that such a body of wisdom can emerge.This book is the result of a unique dialogue: a workshop that took place in the heart of Slovenia brought together academics and industrial scientists, engineers and social scientists to discuss and explore the … More >>

Re-engineering the Enterprise

Technologie industrielle déjà expérimentée dans divers pays, le captage et le stockage du CO2 consistent à récupérer le dioxyde de carbone et à l’injecter dans des pièges géologiques profonds. Cette solution, qui participe à la lutte contre le changement climatique, suscite un intérêt croissant en France suite au Grenelle de l’environnement. Cet ouvrage propose – pour la première fois – un état des connaissances dressé par des spécialistes de l’Institut de physique du globe, du Bureau des recherches géologiques et minières, de l’Institut français du pétrole et du Centre national de la recherche scientifique. Il fait le point sur les enjeux de cette nouvelle technologie en France.
Au-delà des discussions techniques entre experts, l’ouvrage s’intéresse aux enjeux de communication externe et aux débats publics ouverts. Les points de vue des diverses parties prenantes – organismes de recherche, ONG environnementales (Réseau Action Climat France), lobby europ

The reviewing activity is a one that takes on many forms and is done across a project/program for most deliverables. The template outlines the details required for a reviewer to capture the commentary and feedback from reviews they conduct on behalf of a Project/Program.

Welcome to the Technology Template Series and thank you for your purchase.
We trust that you will gain benefit and insight from each of our templates. Our approach is to provide you with a standardised model and access to the knowledge gained over 30 years within the Information Technology industry and offers this in a modularised manner; thus allowing you to purchase only the pieces that you require, without purchasing an entire methodology or text book on the subjects covered.

The structure is to provide you with the layout of each template, with details within each section that define what you are required to write to complete the document and in most cases examples of this.
