As a significant mitigation strategy to fight climate change, Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS) demonstration projects have received huge amount of public funding across the world. After examining three large scale integrated CCS coal-fired power demonstration projects, which are carried out by America, Europe and China, this paper presents three different approaches that three authorities are tak...

Engaging students in large system development projects is an important educational objective, since it exposes design and programming challenges that come to play only with scale. Alas, large scale system projects can be monstrously complex – to the extent of being infeasible in academic settings. We describe a set of principles and a framework that enable students to develop large-scale system...

industrial-scale r&d it projects depend on many sub-technologies which need to be understood and have their risks analysed before the project can begin for their success. when planning such an industrial-scale project, the list of technologies and the associations of these technologies with each other is often complex and form a network. discovery of this network of technologies is time con...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the feasibility of a model for continuous quality improvement in small scale general practice and the improvement projects that practices ran after the introduction of continuous quality improvement. DESIGN A descriptive study. SETTING Twenty general practices in the Netherlands tested the model in an intervention period of 18 months. INTERVENTION A model for contin...

Distributed software development (DSD) is becoming popular due to the potential of delivering highquality software products in a timely and economical manner. Recently, practitioners started to apply agile software development methods to their DSD environment. However, there are not many empirical researches that have reported whether the agile methods are really viable for distributed software...

AIM In eHealth development there is an increasing focus on user participation inspired by the information systems field of practice and research. There are, however, many other challenges in developing information systems that fit healthcare practices. One of these is the challenge of cooperation and communication in development projects that are initiated and managed by clinicians e.g. coopera...

Physical mapping has been rediscovered as an important component of large-scale sequencing projects. Restriction maps provide landmark sequences at defined intervals, and high-resolution restriction maps can be assembled from ensembles of single molecules by optical means. Such optical maps can be constructed from both large-insert clones and genomic DNA, and are used as a scaffold for accurate...

In modern well known approaches, “agile” has emerged as the leading approach in software industry for the development of the software projects. With different innovative shapes agile is applicable for handling the issues regarding cost, time, continuously change environment and requirements. Agile has proved to be successful in the small and medium size project, however, it have several limitat...

Many large and distributed companies run agile projects in development environments that are inconsistent with the original agile ideas. Problems that result from these inconsistencies can affect the productivity of development projects and the timeliness of releases. To be effective in such contexts, the agile ideas need to be adapted. We take an inductive approach for reaching this aim by bas...
