Previous research suggested that the performance of interorganisational processes can be influenced by eight factors: stakeholders, competition, information technology, market network design, perceived risk, process design, information, and trust. This paper specifically focuses on the consequences of market network redesign for interorganisational processes. A distinction is made between trans...

This paper presents the main achievements of a project, focused on the design of an integrated system composed of a satellite segment and a MANET to provide telecommunication services in emergency scenarios, in terms of network design, focusing in particular on the development of the interface between the two systems and showing the results of field trials.

Network design problems consist of identifying an optimal subgraph of a graph, subject to side constraints. In generalized network design problems, the vertex set is partitioned into clusters and the feasibility conditions are expressed in terms of the clusters. Several applications of generalized network design problems arise in the fields of telecommunications, transportation and biology. The...

With the increase in the provision of access to Wireless Local Area Networks and the abundance of user devices capable of utilising Wi-Fi, the design of the network infrastructure has introduced some significant problems. Prior to the installation of Access Points it is difficult to predict whether access can be guaranteed at specific locations. Additionally, to increase the level of security, ...

We present a conceptual framework for modeling optical networks and the solutions to its associated problems. The framework is targeted towards a large-scale initiative by us for developing a modeling language that can help with conceptual modeling of typical optical network design problems. While there are pieces of literature available that describe modeling languages for other application ar...

The design and planning of resilient supply chains is a major challenge due to the increasing complexity of these systems that operate in a global market and therefore are more exposed to disruptions. In the present work a design and planning model that integrates demand uncertainty is applied to five supply chain structures that are submitted to different types of disruptions. Disruptions are ...

In this paper, we present a computer-tool to simulate traffic over a mobile communications network based on TETRA (Trans European Trunked RAdio) technology. This tool is specifically oriented to estimate network performances, previous to the network development, in order to make an optimum network design.

Wireless access networks today consume 0.5 percent of the global energy. Rapidly growing demand for new services and ubiqutious connectivity, will further increase the energy consumption. This situation imposes a big challenge for mobile operators not only due to soaring cost of energy, but also increasing concern for global warming and sustainable development. This thesis focuses on the energy...
