Building smart supply chains have attracted huge attentions from practitioners and academia, but not all initiatives are a success due to limited practical implications theories guiding the selection of appropriate innovation models. In light this gap, according characteristics chain, study adopted multi-case approach with data collected through semi-structured interview was analysed via mixed ...

The Exploratory Systems Control Model (ESM) Multiloop Network consists of the original three-loop ESM network delivered in 1977 and the fourth Exploratory Systems Control Model Development (ESMD) loop delivered in 1978. The ESM also includes a fifth loop supplied under the Modular System Control Development Model (MSCDM) project. The ESM provides a flexible tool for simulating and comparing a w...

As information becomes more ubiquitous and the demands that searchers have on search systems grow, there is a need to support search behaviors beyond simple lookup. Information seeking is the process or activity of attempting to obtain information in both human and technological contexts. Exploratory search describes an information-seeking problem context that is open-ended, persistent, and mul...

Exploratory Search Interfaces are being designed to support increasingly high-level search activities, such as comparison and aggregation. This position paper suggests that the history of research into user search behaviour may provide grounds for developing a combined model approach that evaluates features designed to support such exploratory search activities.

This paper describes the implementation and evaluation of a new system to guide exploratory learning in arbitrary task-based domains. The system employs a knowledge representation borrowed from the field of automated planning to represent both the exploratory environment and the student’s model of the tasks in the environment.

theoretically speaking, ict is a new concept in enterprise architecture which can be studied in hrm and hr architecture issues. due to contextual variables carrying diverse variation and importance levels, designing an e-readiness framework of hr architecture is a complex issue. therefore, this idea is considered in iranian oil and gas industry to be piloted. framework of ict conceptual model d...
