The past decades have witnessed a boom in online music industry as a result of rapid development of information technology. This emerging field, however, lacks appropriate pricing methods. In order to coordinate with the marketing strategies of online music and guarantee satisfactory returns for both sellers and buyers of online music, a pricing model based on Stackelberg Model and Particle Swarm...
In pursuit of finding a more suitable way of drying microalgae that would require less energy input which will consequently lessen the production cost, a study was conducted to investigate the migration of water molecules across a cell membrane of microalgae. Molecular Dynamics simulations using GROMACS software were utilized to obtain a molecular model of a cell membrane. The membrane model was composed...
Smart grid is the future for the conventional power systems. In Pakistan, many energy projects are completed and some of them are under still in implementation phase. The aim of this paper is to highlight the prosperous developments in energy sector for the smart grid implementation. The basic objective that is targeted is to have sufficient energy production as compared to connected load at the distribution...
Most CIOs involved in manufacturing produce high quantities of a variety of designs, with some amount of customization for special customers. Shipbuilding and mega-yacht construction is on the other end of that spectrum--where production of a single unit is measured in years, only one or two units are being produced at any given time, and repetition is limited. In exploring the technology challenges...

Enterprise risk management, which combining information technology and risk management method, can effectively improve the reliability of risk management, increase enterprises' ability to resist risks, and enhance the safety of enterprise...
This paper focuses on the resource allocation and scheduling problem in steel information technology planning project in which constraints like resource, duration are taken into account. A mathematical model which aims at maximizing the project robustness is formulated to deal with the problem and an algorithm based upon PSO algorithm is proposed according to characters of the model. The results from...
Research indicates that 2% of these emissions are caused by the information technology sector. The raise of ICT usage leads to the increase of energy consumption leading to a movement towards Green IT. While some companies are defending that sustainable practices are outside of their boundaries, others are taking green initiatives as a business value. This paper presents a decision model to support...
Using the correction of the Cobb-Douglas production function, this paper empirically analyzes information and economic growth in Shandong province from 1991 to 2010. The empirical results show that: information plays a positive role in promoting the economic growth of Shandong province, but its impact is less than that of capital and labor. Finally the paper draws the corresponding conclusions and...
