This paper focuses on resolving an issue which occurs in a large IT Industry where the number of associates would be thousands and working in different locations of the organization. So recruitments happen at their respective locations and the project requirements belong to a particular technology would be similar in all the locations. Hence making the associates to be competent enough for delivering...
Creativity is a critical factor in the today's increasingly competitive business environment. In order to increase and accelerate the production of innovation, firms attempt to promote creativity and produce ideas by organizing creative workshops. The creative process, especially during creative workshop, is a knowledge creation and manipulation process. Despite creative production is unpredictable,...
With the gradual easing of the low altitude policy in China, the domestic general aviation is breaking the bottleneck and booming, which may bring a fact that the after-sales service of the aircraft shall be put on the schedule in the forecasting future. As an important resource, the supply status of aircraft spares has great effects on the normal operation of the aircraft. Plenty of researches have...
Arctic conditions and the territorial politico-economic crisis in Ukraine are two different types of extreme conditions, where civilian authorities need to use Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) to support manned processes and other information systems. Due to the lack of adequate research and publications, best practice may remain unshared. Therefore authorities may not be aware of potential...
This paper presents combination of two multi criteria decision making (MCDM) for analyzing Demand Side Management (DSM) options. The solution of selecting the best DSM options contains of weighting the criteria and ranking the options as well. A method known as Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is used to weighting the criteria and Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluation...
In this paper two related simplification problems for systems of linear inequalities describing precedence relation systems are considered. Given a precedence relation system, the first problem seeks a minimum equivalent subset of the precedence relations (i.e., inequalities) which has the same solution set as that of the original system. The second problem is similar to the first one, but the minimum...
The complexity and dynamicity of interdisciplinary research clusters requires an efficient management in order to ensure a good performance. Therefore, this paper presents an iterative regulatory process for managing interdisciplinary research clusters which has been implemented at the two clusters of excellence at RWTH Aachen University. Thereby, an annual evaluation of the cluster performance through...
We have investigated the design of a secure collaboration platform to support real-time information sharing across professional and organizational boundaries in the context of emergency animal disease response. The platform integrates cross-organisational eAuthentication and eAuthorisation technologies to enable access control of shared data resources between geographically distributed experts in...
Development of an accurate relationship between the ultrasound image frame and the markers mounted on it, which is known as calibration, is a crucial step in ultrasound guided interventions. In this study, a new designed phantom is introduced which not only provides an acceptable level of accuracy, but also needs no alignment between the probe and the ultrasound image. Our proposed phantom takes the...
Scaffolds serve as a temporary mechanical support for the cells and transmit the mechanical stimuli to cells via their architectures. So, it can be considered that scaffold architecture design plays an important role in determination of stem cells fate. The gradient architecture scaffold provides a condition in which the cells experience various mechanical stimuli in different positions of the scaffold...
In the present study, a group of people aged 20-85 who visited the bone mineral densitometry center of the Shariati Hospital, were analyzed. Participants were asked to stand up barefoot on Wii balance board and in front of a Kinect sensor. We calculated the center of pressure (COP) and center of mass (COM) using the data from Wii balance board and Kinect, respectively. By evaluating balance parameters,...
InnoEscuela is more than a learning experience, a programmed methodology to implement courses related to Technology and Computing which follows an innovative way of teaching. The methodology focuses on Project-based learning and team work. Students organize themselves in teams which are called innovative enterprises and they have to decide to create a solution to a social disadvantage, technical problem,...
The paper proves that a set of tasks of unmanned aerial vehicles grouping operation belongs to organizational management problems. To ensure prediction for the given instants of time, simulation of numerical state of facilities basic resource is recommended.
Post Graduate course viz. Management course inculcates the attributes that are to be assessed for every student. These attributes include ability to investigate, Ability to network and resourceful, independent and critical thinkers, subject specialist, confident, excellent communication skills, collaborator, adaptable etc. are the area of concern. The presence of necessary management attributes guarantees...
The International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) have an interest in the role of Systems Engineering (SE) knowledge in all types of education. This paper reports on an academic forum meeting held in May 2015. The aim of this forum was to explore ways of understanding, promoting and enhancing the value of Systems Engineering Knowledge in the education of all Engineers. This aim was identified...
Sentiment analysis deals with identifying polarity orientation embedded in users' comments and reviews. It aims at discriminating positive reviews from negative ones. Sentiment is related to culture and language morphology. In this paper, we investigate the effects of language morphology on sentiment analysis in reviews written in the Arabic language. In particular, we investigate, in details, how...
Over the course of a decade, the Bonneville Power Administration's Technology Innovation Office has developed a roadmapping approach that captures business challenges and opportunities critical to the agency, links these with barriers to success, and connects these with technical solutions and research questions. Senior leaders from across the agency establish strategic goals and objectives, and international...
Roadmapping has evolved over the last years and it is currently an established managerial approach. It has demonstrated potential to support the development of strategies and plans concerning product and technology innovations for businesses and industrial sectors. Plenty of knowledge with regard to the best practices for implementing the roadmapping approach has been reported, however they are mainly...
