Sensor Network Hardware Infrastructure for Smart Spaces

Like people, a “smart space” can only produce reactions based on the information it receives. Some of this information will be “active” i.e. deliberately transmitted by a user e.g. electronic information from personal electronic devices or voice commands. The user will in general expect a specific response from the smart space. At a more advanced level, however, the “adaptive” or “context aware...

An Integrated Hydrocarbon Biofuel and Petroleum Supply Chain: Designing and Planning a Dynamic Supply Chain Network

One of the main challenges of bioenergy sector development is the cost of biomass supply chain resulted from inefficient bioenergy production from low energy content biomass feedstocks, high logistics costs of biomass production, handling and transportation. Another main aspect to be considered is that the configuration of a biofuel supply chain can be dynamic which evolve over time. Growing de...

Benders decomposition for Supply Chain Network Redesign with Capacity planning and Multi-Period Pricing

Managing income is a considerable dimension in supply chain management in current economic atmosphere. Real world situation makes it inevitable not to design or redesign supply chain. Redesign will take place as costs increase or new services for customers’ new demands should be provided. Pricing is an important fragment of Supply chain due to two reasons: first, represents revenue based ...
