Operation Iraqi Freedom is the largest casualty-producing conflict this nation's military has faced since Vietnam. Medical departments from the three services have done an extraordinary job reacting to the ever-changing landscape of modern warfare and the devastating injuries produced. From the revamping of prehospital care to new applications of damage-control surgery, challenges have erupted,...

Information technology has been developing remarkably in both hardware and software. People are now closely interconnected through information networks which together form a complex and dynamic supranetwork. One urgent challenge in this rapidly changing information society is the development of an entirely new concept: “humanware,” which is considered the third ware complementing hardware and s...

In the ever-changing business world, appropriate vendor selection can be crucial in supply chain management. Dynamic models supporting vendors with time axis are not always crisp; rather they involve a high degree of fuzziness and uncertainty in real life situations. This paper proposes a dynamic model with uncertainty based on Fuzzy AHP for long-term strategic vendor selection problems. The se...

A constant element of our modern environment is change. In decision-making research however, very little is known about how people make choices in dynamic environments. We report the results of an experiment where participants were asked to choose between two options: a dynamic and risky option that resulted in either a high or a low outcome, and a stationary and safe option that resulted in a ...

The development of smart grids makes possible the introduction of dynamic electricity rates, with prices changing each hour. Dynamic rates can reflect the temporal dependency of supply and demand for electrical power and network capacity, thus avoiding load peaks and promoting the use of fluctuating renewable energy sources. We present a simulation model that studies the electricity demand for ...

Development Environment for Dynamically Reconfigurable Embedded Systems Sandeep Neema, Ted Bapty, Jason Scott Institute for Software Integrated Systems, Vanderbilt University Modern high-performance embedded systems face many challenges: Systems must function in rapidly changing environments; Power/size constraints limit hardware size; and extreme performance requirements demand algorithm-speci...

Language learning is one of the most rapidly changing disciplines. Along with changing perspectives in learning in the field of Second Language Acquisition, information communication technology (ICT) has also created many learning paths to assist the process of learning a second language (L2). In such an ever-evolving environment, teachers, researchers, and professionals in a diverse number of ...

With modern software systems, an important requirement is the ability to be auto adaptive, i.e. being able to adjust itself to the changing environment. In line with this, a run time manager for dynamic feature integration of telecommunication systems, interaction detection and resolution is described in this paper with aspects being used to implement features. The manager manages the interacti...
