Vehicles in the future will have significant increases in capability and demands for wireless communications resources. Applications include vehicle status and maintenance information, navigation information, entertainment, and concierge services. To meet these needs, the vehicle must have the capability to allocate and prioritize communications resources in response to the needs of application...

An outstanding human resources system is one of the important competitive factors in modern enterprises. Employee training is a frequently used method for promoting the working capabilities for better human resources. Employee training programs cultivate personnel capabilities for enterprise operation. The training effect can be dramatically enhanced if curriculum is well designed and arranged....

Cloud computing can be assumed as a model for delivering information technology services (like storage space, networking, applications etc) in which resources are retrieved from internet using web based tools, rather than a direct connection to server. Cloud computing provides hardware and software resources from a shared pool of resources on rent according to user’s demand. So this technology ...

In mission critical applications of distributed information systems, autonomous information resources are coordinated to meet the information demands of client specific decision-support views. A major challenge is handling dynamic changes in QoS constraints of the clients and/or changes in QoS properties of the resources. This paper presents a negotiation-based adaptive view coordination approa...

Context-aware recommendation of personalised tourism resources is possible because of personal mobile devices and powerful data filtering algorithms. The devices contribute with computing capabilities, on board sensors, ubiquitous Internet access and continuous user monitoring, whereas the filtering algorithms provide the ability to match the profile (interests and the context) of the tourist a...

scheduling has become an attractive area for artificial intelligence researchers. on other hand, in today's real-world manufacturing systems, the importance of an efficient maintenance schedule program cannot be ignored because it plays an important role in the success of manufacturing facilities. a maintenance program may be considered as the heath care of manufacturing machines and equip...

We present SOBOLEO, a system for the webbased collaborative engineering of SKOS ontologies and annotation of web resources. SOBOLEO enables the simple creation, extension and maintenance of taxonomies. At the same time, it supports the annotation of web resources with concepts from this taxonomy.

All buildings require Repair and Maintenance (R&M) in their life cycle period. However, if R&M activities are not carried out properly, deterioration will occur, service of be reduced, maintenance costs increase. Hence, selecting the appropriate methods is pivotal, especially for developing countries, such as Iran, which featured by highly constrained resources. The present study aims t...

Many industrial sectors are concerned on developing optimal maintenance planning because of the importance of maintenance on the economy and safety. Traditionally, the maintenance planning is formulated in terms of a multi-objective optimization problem where reliability, availability, maintainability and cost act as decision criteria and surveillance test and maintenance strategies act as deci...

The purpose of this paper is to describe the development and use of a framework for studying the dynamics of the maintenance system of a fleet of military-aircraft engines in a holistic way, as far as both time and place are concerned. The framework is based on a modular system dynamics simulation model of all the inter-related systems, which are involved throughout the life-cycle of the engine...
