Event-based communication is appropriate for many application domains, ranging from small, centralised applications such as GUIs to large, distributed applications such as telecommunications, network monitoring and virtual world support systems. Consequently, many di erent event models have been put forward, some designed for small-scale systems and others for large-scale systems. One such mode...

Acknowledging and understanding the role that information may play in affecting consumer assessment of eco-marketed products is a key step in improving the effectiveness of eco-labeling initiatives. Consumers who hold preferences for environmentally preferred products may be unable to express their preferences for such goods under current eco-information campaigns. The emerging use of eco-label...

The bio-thermodynamic structures of a mixed native species plantation, a conifer plantation and an Acacia mangium plantation in Southern China were quantified over a period of 15 years based on eco-exergy methods. The efficiencies of structural development and maintenance were quantified through an integrated application of eco-exergy and emergy methods. The results showed that the storage of e...

In the literature two approaches of productivity analyses can be found, namely the neoclassical approach and the frontier approach. Neoclassical analysis weights inputs by value shares, a procedure that requires data on factor input shares or prices. This approach imputes productivity growth to factors, but cannot distinguish a movement towards the efficiency frontier and a movement of the latt...

In order to solve environmental issues, transition form conventional business to environmentally conscious business (Eco-business) is eagerly required. In order to promote Eco-business, it will be effective to support finding out Eco-business ideas. To do so, this paper takes an approach that provides business designer with general rules and prerequisites extracted from existing Eco-businesses....

Although there is increasing use of eco-labeling, conditions under which eco-labels can command price premiums are not fully understood. In this article, we demonstrate that the certification of environmental practices by a third party should be analyzed as a strategy distinct from—although related to—the disclosure of the eco-certification through a label posted on the product. By assessing ec...

This paper aims to contribute to understanding the dynamics of industrial symbiosis. More specifically, we focus on the dynamics of anchoring as they can be observed in the Chinese context of eco-industrial development. We define anchoring as those activities that (typically local) actors perform to create local physical and institutional conditions conducive to the emergence and further develo...

eco-innovation is an actual topic as it links two key issues, innovation and sustainability. theenvironmental respect and innovation are important drivers of competitiveness. firms are willing to knowwhat to do to improve their eco-innovative capacity. the objective of this paper is to empirically determinewhat common characteristics have the most environmental oriented innovative firms. we ana...
