Im Bereich der IT-Industrie werden nahezu jährlich neue Begriffe geprägt, von denen einige zu angesagten BuzzWords aufsteigen. Häufig werden diese jedoch uneinheitlich verwendet. In diesem Artikel werden die Begriffe Internet der Dinge, Tracking & Tracing, Supply Event Management, Logistik 4.0, Industrie 4.0 und schließlich Farming 4.0 beschrieben, verglichen und strukturiert.

Three synthetic datasets - of observation size 15,000, 155,000 and 1,555,000 participants, respectively - were created by simulating eleven cardiac and anthropometric variables from nine collection ages of the ALSAPC birth cohort study. The synthetic datasets retain similar data properties to the ALSPAC study data they are simulated from (co-variance matrices, as well as the mean and variance v...

This paper addresses the importance of tailoring education to suit the specific needs of various companies. In construction industry especially, important is to combine the knowledge of research, general contractors and their sub-contractors with software industry. These are now rather separated in Finland. The paper presents an overview of the current situation of IT education in construction ...

We investigate the effect of gravitational lensing on the farthest known supernova, SN1997ff. The SN was found at z ∼ 1.7 in the Hubble Deep Field North and is most likely of Type Ia. Due to our poor knowledge of the properties of the lensing foreground galaxies, we conclude that large magnification effects are possible for reasonable lens parameter values implying that this single SN does not ...

As in many other countries, India's five year old credit rating industry has grown rapidly amidst persistent doubts about the quality of the rating service. This paper evaluates the ratings given by India's leading credit rating agency, CRISIL. We find that CRISIL's ratings are not only too liberal by international standards but also internally inconsistent. We argue that to improve the quality...

This study looks at the role of internal linkages in highly competitive clusters. Besides serving as a mechanism to source knowledge, we argue that strong internal linkages also represent tighter control over local innovation and higher levels of technological interdependency across locations, which allow firms to increase internalization and reduce the risk of knowledge outflow to competitors....

Although many have advocated a systems approach in road transportation, this view has not meaningfully penetrated road safety research, practice or policy. In this study, a systems theory-based approach, Rasmussens's (1997) risk management framework and associated Accimap technique, is applied to the analysis of road freight transportation crashes. Twenty-seven highway crash investigation repor...
