Economic and social changes in recent decades led to regional imbalance and inordinate concentration of facilities in some parts and bereavement of other parts. We need to district and regional planning which its objective is providing an appropriate model for balanced distribution of services according to population of settlements or spatial balance in the region. The topics of sust...

Context: The Basque Department of Health released in 2010 the “Strategy for tackling the challenge of chronicity in the Basque Country”. One of its five priority policies is contributing to the continuity of care for chronic patients. A key strategic project is the development of new integration initiatives and pilots projects in the public Basque Health System. Five different integration proje...

Once we relax the assumption that it must be possible to specify programs solely in terms of text and enter them in isolation from other tools, the range of possible program development mechanisms t s significantly increased. Thus, in the light of advances in the field of integrated software development environments and in view of the wider availability of suitable workstations, we should recon...

as one way to approach industrial symbiosis, environmental infrastructure sharing is principally concerned with providing an integrated environmental utility system for clustered firms. it is based on the assumption that environmental infrastructure sharing can improve the regional competitive advantage by reducing overall cost and improving environmental performance. in order to verify the ass...

The author questions whether the intuition of the people involved in software development processes should be complemented with simulation tools so that inherent human weaknesses can be alleviated. Those weaknesses are explored and examples given. The reasons for adopting simulation technology in a corporate software development environment are described along with the significant hurdles that ...

A new model for supporting collaborative software development with shared, multiple textual and graphical views is presented. Multiple views of software development can be synchronously, semi-synchronously and asynchronously edited by different developers. View versions can be incrementally merged, and view updates broadcast to other developers and incrementally incorporated as required in thei...

The paper reviews geographical, structural and institutional aspects of spatial development in Greece in the second half of the twentieth century by considering performance at the level of NUTS II and by comparing with other Objective 1 regions of the European Union in terms of income per capita, unemployment and their regional dispersion. It focuses on why Crete has done better than Thessaly, ...

This paper proposes a new modeling method of interactions in software development process, which focuses on the interactions among the elements of the process, and a new software development environment based on
