Competitive environments are driving manufacturing organisations to react quickly to unpredictable changes and customer opportunities. To face these new challenges, manufacturing organisations require the support of information technology/systems in their operations. An information technology/systems infrastructure capable of coping with these changes is in part responsible for determining the ...

mediatheque is an inclusive adaptation of library in which public could exchange information in practical way by applying contemporary technology. it is exerting a new method of bilateral exchange information between clients and sources through various media, which not only serve a faster data transmission than books and libraries but also are more efficient than the other services. this compre...

Contemporary organizations are increasingly dependent on information infrastructures to deliver their services. However, information infrastructures are highly complex and dynamic, which lead to considerable management challenges. This research aims to contribute to our understanding of these challenges through an in-depth investigation of a team responsible for information infrastructure servi...

One of the services provided by the High Level Architecture (HLA) Run-time Infrastructure (RTI) is data distribution management (DDM), which aims to make data communication more efficient by sending data to only those federates requiring the data. Several DDM methods, notably region and grid-based, have been proposed and some of them have been implemented in RTI. This paper first briefly discus...

Time management is required in simulations to ensure temporal aspects of the system under investigation are correctly reproduced by the simulation model. This paper describes the time management services that have been defined in the High Level Architecture. The need for time management services is discussed, as well as design rationales that lead to the current definition of the HLA time manag...
