This paper identifies some of the forces that influence the impact of air transportation on regional connectivity and economic productivity in the United States. In light of recent threats to the financial viability of the airline industry, a conceptual model has been developed to highlight the interdependence of the national economy and the air transportation system. These complex relationship...

Airline industry is one of the main infrastructures for sustainable development of a country. The quality of the reverse support service will be effective in increasing the safety and health of the structures, reducing the impact of disasters and reducing costs. The aim of this study is to evaluate the performance of an organization based on the main factors of reverse supply chain with the ser...

The Internet of Things (IoT) is the development production of the computer science and communication technology. As IoT is broadly used in many fields, the security of IoT is becoming especially important and will take great effects on the industry of IoT....

As demand increases, airline carriers often increase flight frequencies to meet the larger flow of passengers in their networks, which reduces passengers’ schedule delays and attracts more demand. Focusing on the “network effects”, this paper develops and estimates a structural model of the U.S. airline industry. Compared with previous studies, the model implies higher cost estimates, which see...

This paper focuses on the airline industry on the Web and develops a customer-oriented airline site evaluation framework (ASEF). ASEF is specificoriented towards the airline sites. It may be useful not only to users that purchase airline services via Internet but also to designers and developers of airline websites. It may be used as a guide in order to improve their services considering all qu...

The technology of the Internet of Things (IOT) is viewed as one of the best ways to solve the safety problems of China’s dairy industry by supporting the development o...

The Internet of Things (IoT) presents today a huge potential in terms of both, technology deployment and business opportunities. Even though the IoT products performing similar tasks are densely deployed, a service provider needs to deploy multiple dedicated infrastructures per IoT segment if interoperable solutions and/or harmonized standards between different segments are not provided. Provid...

Fast prototyping for IoT projects has gained attraction in many industries. Today’s IT market requires new faster techniques to get business advantages in different industries starting from the energy consumption and retail to the manufacturing, services, and agriculture. Combining sensors and actuators, embedded systems and networks with cloud computing platforms and cognitive services in one ...

Revenue management has been successfully implemented in the airline industry since the deregulation in 1978. There have been very few comprehensive, rigorous studies of its practices and impact, however. In this paper we examine how revenue management practices affect airline performances such as loadfactor and revenue, and how revenue management practices are implemented in different market st...
