Semantic Web of Things (SWoT) applications focus on providing a wide-scale interoperability that allows the sharing of IoT devices across domains and the reusing of available knowledge on the web. However, the application development is difficult because developers have to do various tasks such as designing an application, annotating IoT data, interpreting data, and combining application domain...

However, traditional sensors are typically locked into closed systems, which hinder the ac...

Since no organization can have unlimited resources, strategists should decide on a strategy that can provide the greatest benefits to the organization. Decisions on strategy formulation commit the organization to produce specific products, work in specific markets, and exploit certain resources and technologies for a relatively long time. Strategies dictate the long-term competitive advantages ...

this research is intended to design strategies of human resource through miles and snow model in an active industrial center of oil, gas and cement. the research followed an applied approach using survey method. research population included 1100 employees and experts of the same center, 285 subjects of whom were selected as sample by a stratified and systematic random selection. for designing h...

Foreword In mid 1997, the European Industrial Advisory Group overseeing European participation in the IMS initiative (i.e. an international R&D collaborative scheme on Intelligent Manufacturing Systems), requested a synthetic overview of the competitive and technological Strengths and Weaknesses of manufacturing industry in Europe, as well as the emerging Opportunities and Threats it faces, wit...

In recent years, many environmental problems have become important factors in promoting the economic need to develop tourist activity: climate change such as energy wars, increasing hunger and aridity, population increases in urban areas, excessive and unthinking use of natural resources, difficult international relations, economic competition, and increasing environmental stress. Trends in glo...
