Collaboration practices in global inter-organizational software development projects

Global interorganizational software development projects are becoming common, but their management and the creation of practices and processes to support collaboration seem to be harder than what the companies expect. In this article, we present successful collaboration practices collected in an interview study of eight globally distributed interorganizational software development projects. On ...

Discrete Real Options Models for Inter-Related Generation Projects

The electric power generation business is facing uncertain and competitive environments with much financial risk. In this paper, we design and analyze a real options model for a utility with multiple inter-related generation planning projects. Also, comparisons relative to other models are made and a numerical example is provided so as to illustrate the optimal sequential decision making.

Inter-oceanic analysis of demographic variation in a widely distributed Indo-Pacific coral reef fish

The surgeonfish Ctenochaetus striatus is abundant and widely distributed on reefs throughout the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Population samples at 15 sites that spanned 158° of longitude and 40° of latitude across both hemispheres of the Indian and Pacific oceans allowed us to examine geographic variation in longevity, growth rate and adult size of this species. Samples from 5 sites in the India...

World Experiences of Inter-basin Water Transfer Projects and the Necessity of Developing Decision Making Criteria in Iran

When categorizing water management alternatives, to meet water needs, water transfer is seen as an option that tends to supply more water. Most developing countries where limited water resources are available with high spatiotemporal dispersion, favor this option. The numbers of such projects that have been proposed, implemented, and operated in recent years evidence the desirability of this al...
