Networks – A Cooperative Approach to Environmental Management
نویسنده
چکیده
Mainly due to an enforced legislation as well as an increased social demand, companies need to integrate ecological aspects into their corporate goals. Compliance to these goals often leads to the development of innovative approaches to environmental management by means of applying the fundamental principles of the “Circular Economy”. Additionally, intra and inter-organizational concepts of waste disposal and recycling are implemented. Applied to ecological problems, networks of enterprises provide an innovative and promising approach to simultaneously satisfy the living needs of future generations as well as the economic needs of today’s businesses. Furthermore, the specific implementation of an environmental management network can be used as an effective instrument of regional politics. This paper discusses the characteristics and implications of environmental management networks. It emphasizes the prerequisites of stability and the importance of integrated production/recycling planning and control systems for the successful implementation of networks. Additionally, it provides a detailed analysis of the ecological and economic implications of environmental management networks. Networks – A Cooperative Approach to Environmental Management 1 -

Optimal Power Management to Minimize SER in Amplify and-Forward Relay Networks
This paper studies optimal power allocation to minimize symbol error rate (SER) of amplify-and-forward cooperative diversity networks. First, we analytically solve optimal power allocation problem to minimize SER for three different scenarios, namely, multi-branch single-relay, single-branch multi-relay and multi-branch multi-relay cooperative diversity networks, all subject to a given total re...
متن کاملAttack-Aware Cooperative Spectrum Sensing in Cognitive Radio Networks under Byzantine Attack
Cooperative Spectrum Sensing (CSS) is an effective approach to overcome the impact of multi-path fading and shadowing issues. The reliability of CSS can be severely degraded under Byzantine attack, which may be caused by either malfunctioning sensing terminals or malicious nodes. Almost, the previous studies have not analyzed and considered the attack in their models. The present study introduc...
متن کاملA novel key management scheme for heterogeneous sensor networks based on the position of nodes
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have many applications in the areas of commercial, military and environmental requirements. Regarding the deployment of low cost sensor nodes with restricted energy resources, these networks face a lot of security challenges. A basic approach for preparing a secure wireless communication in WSNs, is to propose an efficient cryptographic key management protocol be...
متن کاملPerformance Analysis of Wireless Cooperative Networks with Iterative Incremental Relay Selection
In this paper, an iterative incremental relay selection (IIRS) scheme is considered for wireless cooperative networks in order to increase the reliability of transmission. Different from the conventional incremental relay selection which incrementally selects a best relay for only one iteration; the IIRS scheme iteratively applies the incremental relaying and relay selection processes. To evalu...
متن کاملCooperative network flow problem with pricing decisions and allocation of benefits: A game theory approach
Several real problems in telecommunication, transportation, and distribution industries can be well analyzed by network flow models. In revenue management, pricing plays a primary role which increases the profit generated from a limited supply of assets. Pricing decision directly affects the amount of service or product demand. Hence, in traditional maximum flow problem, we assume that the dema...
