This session will provide an introduction to the Public Knowledge Project and an overview of the Open Journal Systems (OJS) online publication management software (http://pkp.sfu.ca/ojs). It will include an examination of the publishing process, peer review and editorial workflow, web site management, and tips for increasing journal visibility. This half-day, hands-on workshop is aimed at edito...

Supply chain management is likely to play an important role in the digital economy. In this paper, we first describe major issues in traditional supply chain management. Next, we focus our attention on the supply chain issues of visibility, supplier relationships, distribution and pricing, customization, and real-time decision technologies that have risen to importance with the prevalence of e-...

Endoscopic sinus approach has become one of the most common surgical techniques for endoscopic sinus and skull base surgery. Anesthetic management has an important impact on the overall patient management, from the preoperative assessment and management to the quality of the surgical field and the postoperative recovery. Hemostasis is critical for adequate anatomical endoscopic visualization. M...

This paper we describe how we use meteorological measurements and forecasts to model the impact of ceiling, visibility and surface winds on airport capacity. These impacts can be modeled both as deterministic influences on airport capacity and stochastic forecasted airport capacities. These impacts can be used, along with en route airspace impact models, in traffic flow management solutions. Ou...

In the paper, we consider the problem of computing visibility information on digital terrain models. Visibility problems on polyhedral terrains are classi ed according to the kind of visibility information computed into point visibility, line visibility and region visibility. A survey of the state-of-the-art of the algorithms for computing visibility is presented, according to the classi cation...

Developing research methodology contributes to better management outputs, links theory business practice, as well enriches the academic training received by students at universities. Researchers might be tempted provide generalizations on based global bibliographic databases, such Scopus and Web of Science, draw conclusions possible educational outline. However, since are educated mainly in nat...

Measurement of surface visibility is important for the management of air quality, human health, and transportation. Currently, visibility measurements are only available through ground-based instrumentation, such as the Automated Surface Observing System (ASOS), and therefore lack spatial coverage. In analogy to the recent work of using satellite-based aerosol optical depth (AOD) to derive surf...
