Purpose/objective: To describe the managerial challenges agricultural cooperatives face and list leading solutions that can be adopted to overcome such bottlenecks. Design/methodology/approach: A systematic literature review was done, with a research protocol based on “Methodi Ordinatio” (Pagani et al., 2015) select relevant papers. The study covered aspects of management administration agro-in...

-Due to the mobility of nodes, connection failure between source and destination often occurs in ad-hoc networks. While sending data packets from source to destination, congestion might occur at any node incurring high packet loss and long delay, resulting in performance degradation of the network. Recently, cooperative communication has received tremendous attention in wireless network applica...

In this paper we examine, how the benefits of Supply Chain Management, as announced by the literature and widely accepted, can simulatively be proven. We first present selected results of a survey conducted on the European automotive industry, which show an evident need for transparency, in terms of the quantification of the added-value of Supply Chain Management. For this purpose we introduce ...

The proliferation of wireless local area network (WLAN) deployments in enterprises, public areas, and homes will cause frequent geographical coverage overlap among multiple networks. A recent growing interest is the coordination among WLAN providers for efficient resource management over a large coverage area. While radio resource management for a single WLAN has been studied extensively, littl...

Caching of frequently accessed data in ad hoc networks is a potential technique that can improve the data access, performance and availability. A cooperative cache-based data access framework lets mobile node cache the data or the path to the data to reduce query delays and improve data accessibility. Due to mobility and resource constraints of ad hoc networks, cooperative caching techniques de...
