information and knowledge management have become crucial to the development of a competitive edge on the market. this requires the gathering of complete and consistent information in an environment where companies are working increasingly with a vast network of partners. in this paper, we investigate the case of platforms on the tourism market selling trips in boxes thanks to a wide network of ...

BACKGROUND The aim of current study was to investigate the way dose is prescribed to lung lesions during SBRT using advanced dose calculation algorithms that take into account electron transport (type B algorithms). As type A algorithms do not take into account secondary electron transport, they overestimate the dose to lung lesions. Type B algorithms are more accurate but still no consensus is...

In this paper, we argue increased outsourcing of non-core competencies will create demand for cloud-based platforms to address the need for content-centered collaboration between organizations. We introduce a prototype created to evaluate the suitability of current enterprise content management (ECM) technologies for this type of platform. Following from this work, we highlight several areas wh...

The size and scope of microarray experiments continue to increase. However, datasets generated on different platforms or at different centres contain biases. Improved techniques are needed to remove platform- and batch-specific biases. One experimental control is the replicate hybridization of a subset of samples at each site or on each platform to learn the relationship between the two platfor...

Interest around cloud computing has been growing quite rapidly during the past few years, and the model of cloud computing is evolving into an indispensable component of innovation strategy across the software industry. We are witnessing a paradigm shift that will have a profound impact on software platforms and ecosystems and will give rise to new forms of software co-development. In this pape...
