Adapting Multimodal Fission to User's Abilities

New ways of communication are now possible thanks to adaptive multimodal systems, enabling the improvement in accessibility of ICT applications to all users. We are developing a project which combines TV with a multimodal system in order to overcome accessibility and usability problems by impaired users. This paper is focused on the fission of outputs, and how the presentations of applications ...

Transportation delays in reverse logistics

In this paper we extend and apply MRP theory towards reverse logistics including the considerations of transportation consequences. Our aim is to demonstrate the versatility obtained from using MRP theory when combining Input–Output Analysis and Laplace transforms. This enables an analysis of a supply chain including four sub-systems, namely manufacturing, distribution, consumption and reverse ...
