It is apparent that developing dynamic models of business processes prior to their change could increase the success of business renovation (BR) projects. Simulation has an important role in modelling and analysing the activities in introducing BR since it enables quantitative estimations of influence of the redesigned process on system performances. An example is presented to investigate some ...

We propose a practical incremental approach to perform control ow normalization of COBOL/CICS legacy systems using a software renovation factory. The normalization improves the maintainability of such systems. A consequence of our normalization is that we reengineer the interface so that such systems can be accessed via Intranet or Internet. Moreover, the performance of such systems is improved...

Virtual Reality (VR) or immersive environment can provide enriching experiences to users by simulating real world environments. The popularity of VR headsets has recently been on the rise primarily in the gaming market, however VR applications are being adapted for use in other industries as well. This paper presents findings of a research study which investigated the applications of 3D VR head...

A paradigm change in the management of environmental health issues has been observed in recent years: instead of managing specific risks individually, a holistic vision of environmental problems would assure sustainable solutions. However, concrete actions that could help translate these recommendations into interventions are lacking. This review presents the relevance of using an integrated in...

The existence of brownfields in cities, and their common disadvantages, such as pollution and their detriment to natural habitats, have damaged local communities and their environment over time. Whereas the renovation and regeneration of these brownfields and transforming them into centers of activity could assist the economy and society to flourish. At the same time improving the quality of th...

Science facility renovation and expansion projects provide opportunities for faculty members to play a role in working with architects and administrators to produce effective spaces for teaching and research. This article summarizes information regarding the process and design features that have proved beneficial for many recent science facilities projects. Although the context focuses on large...

According to the trend that the PLC new technology is widely and deeply applied into modern industrial production, combining students electrician, maintenance electrician basic skill training needs to make a reformation of the motor control system of student training curriculum, design a kind of stepping motor control system based on PLC and touch screen, complete the secondary design and renov...

The purpose of this discussion is to complete some mysteries not clarified in the prior study and the most important is to suggest a feasible strategy to construct more promising and ecologically stable and efficient landscape-activated sludge ecological system (LASeM) for scale-up practicability with consideration of environmental friendliness and landscape renovation to neighbouring areas for...
