Confederations and human ecology

Software Confederations and Alliances

Global processes imply that the information systems have the architecture of virtual peer-to-peer networks of autonomous permanent services. It is typical for IS supporting e-government. We s h o w t h a t there are two v ariants of such n e t works: Confederations with quite stable relations (e.g. between the IS of the oces) and alliances with temporal links (typical for e-commerce). Alliances...

Software Confederations and Manufacturing

Software systems used in manufacturing control (especially the flexible manufacturing systems or some parts CIM) often have an architecture possessing many advantageous software engineering properties. Some techniques related to the architecture called software confederation (e.g. interface stability and incremental development) are discussed. Surprisingly enough the architecture of software co...

Industrial Ecology aims to inform decision making about the environmental impacts of industrial production processes by tracking and analyzing resource use and flows of industrial products, consumer products and wastes. Quantifying the patterns of use of materials and energy in different societies is one area of research in Industrial Ecology. An extensive literature is devoted in particular to...
