This paper reports about a study on the introduction of Open Source Software (OSS) in a Public Administration located in Europe. In the specific, we introduced the office automation software OpenOffice.org. The Public Administration examined introduced OSS as a means to save on the license costs and to have a larger space for customisation purposes. The adoption of the new software can have an ...

Technology has become a critical part of our daily activities and routine life in the present day scenario. The need hour is to devise smart home that will be able control operation electronic devices via smartphone. This concept, while absurd imagine, can easily implemented efficiently using package tracking software which includes IoT functions for simulation network. technology had huge boom...

Fixture design is crucial part of manufacturing process. Fixture design is a critical design activity process, in which automation plays an integral role in linking computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD). This paper presents a literature review in computer aided fixture design (CAFD) in terms of automation and optimization techniques over the past decades. First, the...

Why automation lags The need for the creation of the Journal of Automatic Chemistry as Peter Stockwell has implied in his commentary for the first issue has arisen from the interdisciplinary nature of the field of automation. Thus, in contrast to other new journals which are dedicated to narrower and more speialised topics we are encompassing a variety of fields each of which knows their own de...

conclusions it was concluded that hcos need an hit clearly designed with km and they have to recognize where knowledge is resided, when designing strategies to warrant that knowledge is being created and transferred in the best way and to the right persons. otherwise, the hcos do not use an efficiency-oriented hit. results according to the obtained results 15% of the subjects highly used clinic...

overtaking a slow lead vehicle is a complex maneuver because of the variety of overtaking conditions and driver behavior. in this study, two novel prediction models for overtaking behavior are proposed. these models are derived based on multi-input multi-output adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (manfis). they are validated at microscopic level and are able to simulate and predict the future...

Background In the area of Electronic Contracting and Virtual Company Formation within Supply-Chains there has been little research or development work. During this paper we will outline the European Union sponsored project SUPPLYPOINT (ESPRIT 27007) which addresses the issues of panEuropean electronic trade links for business-to-business and business-to-public body electronic commerce. This wil...

Using measurements of Mg  609.78 and 624.94 Å lines from the Coronal Diagnostic Spectrometer (CDS) on board SOHO, we seek to examine the variation of line width and line ratio in regions far off-limb at the Northern pole of the Sun. It is found that above ≈1150′′ the ratio of the two coronal Mg  resonance lines reduces to values that might be expected for a more radiatively dominant excitatio...

This research-in-progress investigates EHR adoption in small primary care practices. By surveying 19 small physician offices, the preliminary findings suggest that small practices who have adopted EHRs perceive substantial benefits in ensuring that patients benefit from the quality care. The findings also imply that more small practices need to be reached out and small practices physicians be a...
