Governing wildfires: toward a systematic analytical framework

Toward a Unified Enterprise Architecture Framework: an Analytical Evaluation

Enterprise Architecture is a fairly new concept that has been adopted by large organizations for legal, economic and strategic reasons. It has become a critical component of an overall IT governance program to provide structure and documentation to describe the business processes, information flows, technical infrastructure and organizational management of an information technology organization...

China and global internet governance: toward an alternative analytical framework

A Sociotechnical Framework for Governing Climate Engineering

Proposed ways of governing climate engineering have most often been supported by narrowly framed and unreflexive appraisals and processes. This article explores the governance implications of a Deliberative Mapping project that, unlike other governance principles, have emerged from an extensive process of reflection and reflexivity. In turn, the project has made significant advances in addressi...

A Framework for Institutions Governing Institutions

Norms guide multi-agent systems away from being potentially anarchic towards a coordinated and collaborative society. Institutions provide an explicit, external representation of norms as well as the means to detect violations and other conditions. Each institution can be crafted individually to capture their designers’ goals, but this creates a challenge at higher levels of authority in guidin...

Experimental investigation of the physical mechanisms governing the spread of wildfires

11 One of the objectives of the present study is to gain a deeper understanding of the heat 12 transfer mechanisms that control the spread of wildfires. Five experimental fires were 13 conducted in the field across on plots of living vegetation. The lengths of the ignition lines 14 were set in the range of 20–30 m to reproduce wildfire front conditions as closely as possible. 15 The experiments...
