Fleet management systems are commonly used to coordinate mobility and delivery services in a broad variety of domains. However, their traditional top-down control architecture becomes a bottleneck in open and dynamic environments, where scalability, proactiveness, and autonomy are becoming key factors for their success. Here, the authors present an abstract event-based architecture for fleet ma...

High performance demand coupled with the need for realtime support, have proliferated the widespread use of batteryoperated embedded devices, comprising of one or more processors, across consumer, automotive and commercial applications. System software (such as the operating system) for these devices offers a low-overhead interface to change the CPU voltage and frequency dynamically, satisfying...

The rapid growth of the electronic commerce (EC) sector saw the traditional business models of many large organizations being challenged by internet technology-based dot.com start-ups. One reason that can be identified for this is the inability of the information technology (IT) units of these large organizations to respond in a timely manner to the technological innovation and entrepreneurial ...

Simulation is a well established what-if scenario analysis tool in Operational Research (OR). While traditionally Discrete Event Simulation (DES) and System Dynamics Simulation (SDS) are the predominant simulation techniques in OR, a new simulation technique, namely Agent-Based Simulation (ABS), has emerged and is gaining more attention. In our research we focus on discrete simulation methods (...

In a global, uncertain, and more competitive business environment, companies compete by developing new products services or models improving traditional marketing strategic methods tools. Research supports the view that plan approach can improve performance productivity if effectively implemented. This paper uses systematic bibliometric literature review (LRSB) incorporates peer-reviewed scient...

In the 21st century, small and medium service firms face difficulty sustaining their performance. Additionally, literature on entrepreneurial orientation (EO) in SMEs is scarce. Moreover, role of cost leadership strategy as a mediator lacks researchers’ attention. Therefore, this research aims to examine relationship between EO performance with mediating strategy. Based contingency theory, theo...

Triggered by budgetary challenges and growing awareness of social needs, recent years have seen increasing entrepreneurial behaviour in the nonprofit sector, which collaboration with for-profit organizations is a case point. Yet, while extant research has extensively studied orientation (EO) organizations, scant attention been paid to its manifestations cross-sector context from perspective, ev...
