While the managerial rationale for adopting customer relationship management (CRM) has been fairly well articulated in the literature, research on strategy development is scant. Moreover, reports of “CRM failures” in the popular business press have done little to inspire confidence. To date, what little research has been conducted in the area of CRM strategy development has been confined to a s...

Automatic information extraction from scanned business documents is especially valuable in the application domain of document management and archiving. Although current solutions for document classification and extraction work pretty well, they still require a high effort of on-site configuration done by domain experts or administrators. Especially small office/home office (SOHO) users and priv...

Our current understanding of split, Jupiter-family comets is reviewed. The focus is on what recent studies of comets have told us about the nature of the splitting phenomenon. The goal is to not repeat the information given in recent reviews of split comets, but to build upon it. In particular, we discuss comets that have suffered splitting or fragmentation events in the past few years. These i...

SoHo users are increasingly faced with the dilemma of applying appropriate security mechanisms to their computer with little or no knowledge of which countermeasure will deal with which potential threat. As problematic as it may seem for individuals to apply appropriate safeguards, individuals with malicious intent are advancing methods by which malicious software may operate undetected on a ta...

Growth of wireless home networking solutions has meant that household computers are now not just connected to the Internet and each other but to passers-by on the street. It is the aim of Wireless Intrusion Detection systems to identify and log malicious behaviour and report it to the administrator. This study compares contemporary products aimed at the Small Office/Home Office and personal mar...

Full disk images from SUMER/SoHO taken in He i, C iv and Ne viii are used to investigate whether there exists a center-to-limb variation in the line width. Both C iv and He i show such a variation but the higher temperature Ne viii line is relatively constant. For C iv, this corresponds to ∼ 3 km s−1 difference while He i is significantly larger particularly at the limb. This work may suggest t...

Small businesses (small office/home office, SOHO) have tremendous amounts of digital information. At the same time, they have little to no expertise on how to manage it, not to mention caring for their long-term preservation, as even simple back-up strategies pose already drastic challenges. This demo presents the Hoppla archiving system to provide digital preservation solutions specifically fo...

Small to medium sized enterprises (SMEs) constitute a major part of the global economic activity. Due to the distinct characteristics of these enterprises, approaches to information security management that were mainly developed for larger organisations can not be feasibly applied in the context of SMEs. In this paper, we present some of the challenges impeding the implementation of information...

Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) account for major source of employment, technological advancements, and competitive advantages for both developed and developing countries. Owing to the intensified competitive pressure and necessity for entering to global market undergone by SMEs, these businesses are incrementally employing Information Technology (IT) to take advantage of its substanti...

Halo coronal mass ejections (HCMEs) are responsible of the most severe geomagnetic storms. A prediction of their geoeffectiveness and travel time to Earth’s vicinity is crucial to forecast space weather. Unfortunately coronagraphic observations are subjected to projection effects and do not provide true characteristics of CMEs. Recently, Michalek (2006, Solar Phys., 237, 101) developed an asymm...
