The authors propose to assess and forecast the innovative development of regions using an improved methodological approach, which consists substantiating statistical indicators development, are verified by correlation analysis (thereby avoiding autocorrelation between regions). Verification evaluation makes it possible determine impact factors most influential according integrated index regions...

Un-official projects resulting from unsanctioned, bottom-up employee initiatives is a phenomenon that can cause serious resource planning problems in IT project portfolio management, such as when resources thought to be available have actually been spent on projects conducted under the radar. At the same time, such project may also give rise to innovative ideas, solutions and software of potent...

In this paper we investigate the use of conceptual descriptions based on description logics for contentbased information retrieval and present several innovative contributions. We provide a query-byexamples retrieval framework which avoids the drawback of a sophisticated query language. We extend an existing DL to deal with spatial concepts. We provide a content-based similarity measure based o...

Sustainability of innovations reflects not only the economic aspect, but also the social and environmental concerns embedded on innovation, whilst dynamic capability indicates the sources of knowledge to achieve that sustainability. Hence, this paper places an emphasis on innovation as the means to add not only economic value, but also to the environment and society and also in capabilities tha...

conceptual design of a waste heat recovery cycle is carried out in attempt to enhance the thermal efficiency of a steam power plant. in the recovery system, super-critical an co2 is employed as the working fluid operating in a brayton cycle. low grade heat rejected by the flue gases through the stack is used as the primary heat source, while a secondary heat exchanger utilizes the hot gases lea...

This study is conducted to developed innovative production planning and control strategies to manufacturing industries so as to improve production performance and competitiveness of basic metal sectors Though the study was conducted through field observation and questioner used as primary data and literature review on research articles, books, and electronic-sources which used as secondar...

This paper addresses two questions about computational innovative design: (1) How can a computer program recognize a good analogue for innovative design?, and (2) How can it eeciently nd one, once it knows how to recognize it? We answer question 1 by presenting a heuristic mapping engine that evaluates a candidate analogy based on features of the mappings between the devices' structures, behavi...

The growth of Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) calls for new conceptual tools that enable designers and web engineers to model and keep under control the design complexity unleashed by innovative interaction (with increasing communication potential) and carefully consider the impact of the design decisions on the optimal flow of the user experience. Based on the theory of Situational Awareness...

EADOCS (Expert Assisted Design Of Composite Sandwich panels) is a multi-level and hybrid expert system for innovative conceptual design. The objectives for conceptual design support are to assess the feasibility and optimality of alternative solutions and to find the best concept for further detailed design. Case-based reasoning is applied to generate conceptual designs and to refine their stru...
