An electronic waybill (e-Waybill) is a service whose purpose is to replace the paper waybill, which is a paper documents that traditionally follows a consignment during transport. An important purpose of the e-Waybill is to achieve a paperless flow of information during freight transport. In this paper, we investigate five e-Waybill solutions, that is, system design specifications for the e-Way...

Modelling technical systems nowadays is a great challenge of automation technology. Particular complex manufacturing processes, like the industrial paper production, consists of discrete and continuous signals and dynamic response times. Inspired by Petri nets, this paper proposes a new modelling approach is presented to describe those technical systems on different abstraction layer. The hybri...

Estimation of technical efficiency is widely used in empirical research using both cross-sectional and panel data. Although several stochastic frontier models for panel data are available, only a few of them are normally applied in empirical research. In this article we chose a broad selection of such models based on different assumptions and specifications of heterogeneity, heteroskedasticity ...

This document is part of the deliverables created by the International Rights Statement Working Group, a joint working group of the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) and Europeana. It provides the technical requirements for implementation of the Standardized International Rights Statements. These requirements are based on the principles and specifications found in the normative Recommend...

at early stages of new product development, the effort tooptimize is low and effects on the whole innovation process are high.therefore, a deeper understanding of fuzzy front end and its successcan help firms to be more successful in developing new products. wepresented and tested a conceptual model of relationships among keyvariable sre lated to the fuzzy front end,execution phase of new produ...

This paper documents the work of the IP Datacast Forum. This Forum has studied the datacasting concept, specifically the complementary implementation of telephony and broadcast technologies, from initial ideas to the development of key specifications. The process has involved the development of basic business and technical models to aid understanding of the potential service capabilities. The f...

The Internet of Things (IoT) systems are inherently distributed with many concurrent behaviors. In order to apply behavior-driven development (BDD), a proven agile practice software that brings benefits, we must ensure the specification sequential and behaviors is supported at level tool support in place execute specification. This study proposes minimal semantic enhancement Gherkin language, m...

This study evaluated the technical efficiency and irrigation water use of olive farms in Tunisia, using Data Envelopment Analysis. In order to calibrate validate findings, data related area, use, quality, cultivar, input, yield were collected based on interviews from 45 irrigated Kairouan Governorate. The results show that average input-oriented under CRS VRS specifications is 17.2% 36.3%, resp...
