Key management in wireless sensor networks (WSN) is an active research topic. Due to the large number of key management schemes (KMS) proposed in the literature, it is not easy for a sensor network designer to know exactly which KMS best fits in a particular WSN application. In this article, we offer a comprehensive review on how the application requirements and the properties of various key ma...

stress management is considered as an important factor in nowadays landscape. therefore this research was conducted using a factorial experiment based on a randomized completely design with regulated deficit irrigation at four levels (100, 75, 50, and 25% of lawn irrigation requirement) and three replicates to evaluate some biochemical and physiological traits on four groundcover plants (lolium...

This paper presents a methodology for the strategic management of enterprise performance. The methodology uses and integrates tools and methods for performance management found in literature and practice. The paper first presents an introduction to performance management systems and their requirements. It then reviews approaches to performance management. The paper concludes with a description ...

Due to the proliferation of the Internet and globalization, distributed information system development is becoming popular. In this paper we have reviewed some significant management issues like process management, project management, requirements management and knowledge management issues which have received much attention in distributed development perspective. In this literature review we fo...

Context: The traditional literature review is a low cost, relatively quick but potentially ineffective method for evaluating tools. Practitioners appear to place a greater emphasis on the practical constraints of an evaluation (e.g. that it is low cost and quick) and the efficacy of the technology to the company, rather than on generic scientific results. By contrast, academia appears to place ...

Knowledge capitalization has become a major economic driver in business today and has created enormous requirements for organizations as they reconsider their goals and adapt their business strategies. However, the definition of knowledge management in an organizational context is a difficult task to realize (Spiegler, 2000). Although knowledge is a critical resource, it is generally poorly man...

In this case study, it has been observed that functional area management within the organization tended to use physical performance signals that suit to the specific requirements of their specific functional areas, and in this process, different functional areas of a common production process ended up using different physical performance signals. The absence of a common performance signal for a...

IT service management is a new, upcoming area of research with several new challenges to cope with. The paper uses a systematic approach to identify new requirements to service management and analyzes some of them more precisely. As a result of the discussion, the introduction of a service management platform is motivated. The architecture of a service management platform is specified as well a...

We present the requirements for case-based design in a software environment to support the early phases in building design and outline an approach to satisfy them. We briefly discuss implementation issues and the larger information management context for the work.
