The article examines the didactic possibilities of technology processing textile materials when performing creative projects by students - future teachers labor education and technology. In particular, introduction defines priorities educational policy in Ukraine, among which an important place belongs to environmentalization, is aimed at achieving goals sustainable development contributing pro...

This article presents an interpretive analysis of the key problems and challenges to technology implementation in developing countries, based on a three-year case analysis of an IT project in a city government in Ukraine. We employ the concept of technological frames of reference as an analytical tool for articulating the group-level structures related to the implementation context from the per...

This paper examines parametric estimating techniques applied to technology-driven projects in various industry sectors. Parametric estimating is the use of a subset of independent variables to predict the cost of a project. These independent variables may be specifications, features, functions, or some other high level descriptive elements that are used to define the scope of the deliverables a...

The explosion of the number of ontologies and vocabularies available in the Semantic Web makes ontology libraries and repositories mandatory to find and use them. Their functionalities span from simple ontology listing with more or less of metadata description to portals with advanced ontology-based services: browse, search, visualization, metrics, annotation, etc. Ontology libraries and reposi...

Two kinds of discourse typically define scientific productions: logical (epistemology of science) and rhetorical (sociology of science). We suggest that research projects can also be analyzed as poetical productions. While rhetorical strategies anticipate controversies and deploy techniques to defend projects and findings, poetical practices deepen the cultural and symbolic dimensions of techno...

Development of an information system is a complex process, which expose to a great number of risks.Hence, the high failure rates long associated with information system projects, despite advances in techniques for information technology development, suggest that organizations need to improve their ability to identify and to manage associated risks. To improve the risk management in information ...

retrofit of heat exchanger networks for energy saving and/or debottlenecking is one of important aspects of process engineering. pinch technology, as the most efficient tool for the analysis of these networks, has been applied to hundreds of such projects and shown satisfactory results. however, all the existing methods for debottlenecking, using pinch technology, are either based on assumed he...

Industrial-Scale R&D IT Projects depend on many sub-technologies which need to be understood and have their risks analysed before the project can begin for their success. When planning such an industrial-scale project, the list of technologies and the associations of these technologies with each other is often complex and form a network. Discovery of this network of technologies is time consumi...

Introduced are research activities that are under way at Seiko Epson Corporation under the company's "TFT New Age" program. The program includes R&D projects geared toward achieving high-performance TFTs, developing flexible electronic devices through the use of SUFTLA-TFT technology, and adopting a micro-liquid process for fabricating displays.

Technology centered organizations must be able to identify promising new products or process improvements at an early stage so that the necessary resources can be allocated to those activities. It is essential to invest in targeted research and development (R and D) projects as opposed to a wide range of ideas so that resources can be focused on successful outcomes. The selection of the most ap...
