In this work, a mathematical computer simulation model is used to predict the possible energy generated from different Waves Energy Converters (WECs) in Canary Islands. The Monte Carlo Method proposed energy. Converter systems analyzed study were, Aqua Buoy, Wave Dragon and Pelamis converters. models were implemented validated, with dataset of Gran Canaria deep water buoy. This buoy belongs net...

The constantly rising fraction of industrial services reveals the structural economic change that is changing the manufacturing industry landscape. Manufacturing firms have more and more problems to find the appropriate information technology (IT) solution for planning and execution as they are confronted with the strategic challenge of reducing operating costs while at the same time meeting ev...

The capability maturity model integration (CMMI) has become one of the most preferred approaches to software process improvement (SPI). However, the amount of discontinued or delayed CMMIdriven SPI projects is considerable. In this paper we investigate the culture embedded in the CMMI and compare it with the cultures within an implementing organization in Scandinavia by utilising the competing ...

As information technologies evolve and demands of enterprises on larger data and integrated info services keep growing, the market of cloud services (CS) attracts many more players nowadays. However, the quality of the services may vary due to different service capabilities and a service often requires integration with other services, CS providers need a standard way in implementing and improvi...

Background: Maturity models for IT service such as CMMI-SVC and MR-MPS-SV requires identification of critical business process and definition of relevant metrics to support decision making, but there is no clear direction or strict suggestion about which should be those processes and metrics. Aims: We aim to identify adequate metrics to be used by organizations deploying IT service maturity mod...

The final goal of this project is to provide the US Navy with an increased capability of using Doppler radar observations in the detection and prediction of hazardous weather events that usually have a strong randomness in nature and affect the Navy operations, especially over oceans and in remote areas. By developing a high-resolution data assimilation capability that can effectively assimilat...

The aim is to consider the role of humans in intelligent and automated systems, with enhanced capability from ubiquitous information, computer and communication technologies. The key human factors (HF) issues are generally believed to be what are appropriate levels of automation for military decision functions, and how to mitigate the associated risks for human understanding, prediction and con...
