E-commerce has brought new challenges as well opportunities to the air cargo industry. With careful planning and cooperation among industry agents with e-commerce an enabler can be transformed into one that provide customized services individual shippers at cost level of mass production. The key component is in setting up a third-party community network. In this paper, we present frame work for such network, which extends traditional business-to-business level. proposed infrastructure...

The design approach of a knowledge-based message management system is described. A linguistic filter used to out junk messages. Relevant messages are then processed by an expert system, driven user-defined alerter rules. An rule base for secretarial office illustrated. Further research topics in knowledge-base design, evaluation, and learning also discussed.

This article reports on recent research examining refugees as a particular user group of communication technologies.The term 'refugee' refers to all people who are exposed refugee-type experiences and may include displaced people, asylum seekers resettled have been granted residency in Australia.A review literature has found that technology users had very little attention across different disciplines, although the shown is key sustaining emotional wellbeing precarious connections with family...

Florida Power and Light (FPL) adopts the single contingency emergency policy for its planning of substation capacity. This paper provides an approach to determine maximum load which a can take on under such policy. The authors' consists two linear programming models determine: (1) capacity; (2) reallocation when substation's demand cannot be met. Both are formulated single-contingency scenario, issue has received little attention in literature. Not only does this explicit treatment scenario...

Although there is a voluminous literature on machine tool economics, the cost of machining quality has received little attention. In this paper, we develop timedynamic economic model for single-pass turning. The incorporates considerations stochastic nature tool-life and such maintenance activities as replacement regrinding. We tool-cutting in terms deviation from target roughness dimension. either Taguchi type under continuous assumption or to entire workpiece discrete assumption....

This paper attempts to synthesise different bodies of literature relating technology and inequality. The use by minority groups has been studied, but in isolation. That is, it examined within particular marginalised communities rather than across them. For example, migrants the ways that technologies are deployed sustain connections between family members countries have investigated extensively. Indigenous groups? appropriation overcome distance rural remote areas also explored depth. role...

This article revisits, through a review of literature, arguments made about the underrepresentation Other groups and identities in various industries how this adversely impacts creative output those sectors. The proposition is that lack diversity workforce equates to different ideas, practices, cultures, processes entering an organization: critical ingredients necessary for creativity innovation. highlighting difference as core poses some difficult questions: can be without understand...

This article attempts to detail the range of assumptions and challenges in designing an undergraduate university degree digital creative industries. Leaders industries, who bemoan general skills shortage lack "industry-ready" graduates, have identified need for post-secondary education this area. But developing these new courses, how do we reconcile traditional reflective, critical modes academic practice with fast dynamic pace dot.com industries? How can slower-paced higher lifelong...

The Power Delivery Substation Division at Florida and Light (FPL) must plan provide logistical support for about two thousand transformers located roughly four hundred substations. Each year, to meet new transformer requirements, the make decisions of procuring and/or relocating transformers. Due large number substations involved, there is a strong need systematic approach determine optimally procurement relocation, as well their schedules. In this paper, mixed 0-1 linear programming model...
