The purpose of this paper is to compare the quality management and safety aspects within the Live working (LW) framework. The study draws upon study carried out among the Slovenian electrical distribution and international study which was carried out among Slovenian and foreign LW experts. The results of the first study suggested that health and safety aspects of LW are vital for achieving efficiency...
The choice of a facility layout design is a very complicated decision. It requires a specific multi-attribute decision making process involving various criteria. In fact the evaluation and the selection of a facility layout planning are usually crucial decision and requires a long processing approach since the criteria have different nature (qualitative and qualitative) and conflicting features. The...
Despite the consistent advances in visual features and other Content-Based Image Retrieval techniques, measuring the similarity among images is still a challenging task for effective image retrieval. In this scenario, similarity learning approaches capable of improving the effectiveness of retrieval in an unsupervised way are indispensable. A novel method, called Cartesian Product of Ranking References...
Recently, induced by incorporating the ubiquitous data gathering capability of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) as well as the powerful data storage and data processing abilities of cloud computing (CC), WSN-CC integration is attracting growing interest from both academia and industry. However, WSN-CC integration is still in its infancy and a lot of research efforts are expected to emerge in this area...
Effectiveness in eLearning is identified as meeting the users' learning goals. It has been the subject of many researches which have led to a variety of dimensions and factors affecting it. However with the latest disruption of educational technology, MOOC has changed the perceptions of eLearning by taking eLearning to a new direction. Hence effectiveness dimensions & factors revealed before the...
The growing demand for electric power supply in developing countries has driven system operators to seek for better ways to harness more sources of sustainable power. The growth of power Networks and the number of elements which constitutes them has tremendously increased. This has created the need for an increased capacity and diligence in the sustenance of power systems in such countries. The adoption...
Based on the theory of knowledge transfer and with the organizational characteristics, the paper makes member enterprises' knowledge transfer behaviors and the innovation of knowledge, technology and management as research objects to study the practical effectiveness of promoting enterprises' independent innovation ability by the successful use of Virtual Enterprise Knowledge Transfer. Having analyzed...
An interesting phenomenon that has received limited attention in the literature is the concept of workaround practices in the field of IT and their use in organizations adopting ERP solutions. The main purpose of this paper is to analyze the effectiveness of workaround strategy by examining the main reasons behind it. The “Echo” method was used to evaluate the comments that participants provided regarding...
<para> It may seem intuitive that reliability is essential for modern products that need to be safe and effective, particularly healthcare and medical devices. One would expect to find reliability cited in regulations, engineering articles, and consensus standards. Yet typical industrial processes in which high reliability is needed often do not explicitly provide evidence to support a safety...
It may seem intuitive that reliability should be essential for modern products that need to be safe and effective, particularly health care and medical devices. It should come as no surprise to find reliability cited in regulations, engineering articles, and consensus standards. Yet typical industrial processes to achieve reliability often do not explicitly provide evidence to support a safety and...
A multi-attribute decision making method for the general scheme of weapon equipment which aims at the system effectiveness is proposed in this paper. This method considers the stochastic confidence interval characteristics of reliability and maintainability. The objective set of alternatives is established according to the attributes-based measuring method for effectiveness. The random distance functions...
Building on work in software engineering and in end-user computing, this study developed and assessed a measure of user-developed applications quality. The quality construct comprises eight dimensions: reliability, effectiveness, portability, economy, user-friendliness, understandability, verifiability, and maintainability. In turn, each quality dimension is composed of a set of criteria. Finally,...
