Most studies investigating passenger’s expectations of the airline transportation industry focuses on service quality and satisfaction relating to only the airline industry. This paper deals with an overview of travellers’ expectations of personal activities as part of their airline transportation experience. These aspects refer to expectations of South African and Malaysian travellers when at ...

The competitors in the airline industry often rely on pricing strategy to capture more sales as a main mean of competition. Thus, dynamic pricing is often utilized to maximize profit while allowing better pricing against competition at the same time. In order for dynamic pricing to be effective, airline company has to take in consideration both internal and external information. Tactical pricin...

Transaction processing in the airline industry has a rich history. The IBM Transaction Processing Facility (TPF) platform played, and still plays, a major role in the airline industry. We introduced a wrapper on the TPF platform itself to access the legacy applications. A very pragmatic and successful approach that resulted in very thin webserver. This webserver made it possible to offer real-t...

The Internet-of-Things (IoT) is today one of the hypes in the technological world but despite the enormous attention and research investment, the clear business value is still hard to perceive. IoT deployments are costly to be installed, managed and maintained, and need to provide a very clear value to justify the investments. For another viewpoint, IoT technologies need to be proven before dep...

Internet of things (IoT) is rapidly increasing technology. IoT is the network of physical object or things embedded with electronics, software, objects to collect and exchange data. In this paper we are developing a system which will automatically monitor the industrial applications and generate alerts or take intelligent decisions using concept of IoT has given us a promising way to build powe...

The crew scheduling problem in the airline industry is extensively investigated in the operations research literature since efficient crew employment can drastically reduce operational costs of airline companies. Given the flight schedule of an airline company, crew scheduling is the process of assigning all necessary crew members in such a way that the airline is able to operate all its flight...

Inspired by the boom of the consumer IoT market, many device manufacturers, new start-up companies and technology behemoths have jumped into the space. Indeed, in a span of less than 5 years, we have experienced the manifestation of an array of solutions for the smart home, smart cities and even smart cars. Unfortunately, the exciting utility and rapid marketization of IoTs, come at the expense...

The airline industry is faced with some of the largest scheduling problems of any industry. The crew scheduling problem involves the optimal allocation of crews to flights. Over the last two decades the magnitude and complexity of crew scheduling problems have grown enormously and airlines are relying more on automated mathematical procedures as a practical necessity. In this paper we survey di...

Pervasive connectivity in machine to machine communication as well as advancements in sensor and actuator technology has given rise to the Internet of Things (IoT). For companies such as Siemens, the IoT concept plays a tremendous role for their ongoing evolution towards full digitalization, since possible applications range from smarter cities and eHealth systems, to Industry 4.0 [1]. Another ...

Internet of Things (IoT) has received considerable attention in both industry and academia in recent years. There has been significant research on access control models for IoT in academia, while industrial deployment of several cloud-enabled IoT platforms have already been introduced. However, as yet there is no consensus on a formal access control model for cloud-enabled IoT. Currently, most ...
