Platform as a Service (PaaS) solutions are changing the ways that software is produced, distributed, consumed, and priced. Unlike Software as a Service (SaaS) or Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), PaaS allows for value co-creation by offering complementary components and applications that are developed in emerging ecosystems of third party developers. Despite increasing interest among practiti...

Payments for ecosystem services programs have become common tools but most have failed to achieve wide-ranging conservation outcomes. The capacity for scale and impact increases when PES programs are designed through the lens of the potential participants, yet this has received little attention in research or practice. Our work with small-scale marine fisheries integrates the social science of ...

“Designing quality in” is a cornerstone of modern quality management philosophies. Design for X (DfX) techniques provide guidelines, heuristics, and metrics to ensure that a particular quality attribute exists in a design. Although hundreds of papers have been published on DfX approaches, few researchers have explored systematically applying multiple DfX in a particular problem context. As the ...

This paper addresses the integration of agents with external resources and services in enterprise computing environments. We propose an approach for interfacing agents and existing message routing and mediation engines based on the endpoint concept from the enterprise integration patterns of Hohpe and Woolf.

Nitrogen-rich heterocycles are essential for designing novel energetic green materials with the combination of high explosive performance and acceptable mechanical sensitivities.
