The Community Resource Management Plan: A Tool for Integrating Indigenous Knowledge Systems into Natural Resource Management

Integrating Trust into Grid Resource Management Systems

Grid computing systems that have been the focus of much research activities in recent years provide a virtual framework for controlled sharing of resources across institutional boundaries. Security is one major concern in any system that enables remote execution. Several techniques can be used for providing security in Grid systems including sandboxing, encryption, and other access control and ...

Knowledge Acquisition for Natural Resource Management

17 Decision Support Systems (DSSs) can play a powerful role in Natural Resource 18 Management (NRM), by allowing more effective and collective use of information in 19 addressing complex and often poorly structured questions. CSIRO Tropical Agriculture, in 20 Townsville Australia, is developing a DSS generator that provides a flexible environment 21 for the construction of decision support tool...

An Action Plan for Improved Natural Resource and Environment Management

The action plan takes very much into account the core messages of the World Bank’s Environment Strategy and reflects thinking articulated in the Green Growth Strategy. The Environment Strategy emphasizes green, clean, and resilient development. To clarify, in this case, Green means efficient, incorporating the value of natural assets; Clean means reduced pollution, healthy and low GHG emitting,...

Closing gaps: integrating food safety management systems into the veterinary curriculum, as a tool to improve food quality and trade

Temporal Plan and Resource Management

In previous work we have investigated a framework for distributed temporal plan repair. Using temporal constraints for activities to be executed, we developed a distributed algorithm capable of dealing with temporal changes (disruptions) in these constraints to perform fast plan repair. This framework, however, did not include resource management issues. In this paper, first of all, we extend o...
