Mobile networked digital devices are near ubiquitous, owned by just anyone, in many parts of the world today. Together with positioning techniques this opens for new innovative educational practices through the design of location aware systems. After studying a technology rich university-level discipline, a mobile learning framework, MOTEL, that supports geo-tagging and publishing of tagged are...

Models that aim to optimize the designof supply chain networks have becomeamainstream in the supply chain literature. This paper aims to fill a gap in the literature by introducing a mathematical model that integrates financial considerations with supply chain design decisions under demand uncertainty. The proposed Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) problem enchases financial statement ana...

|Software requirements speci cations (SRS) are often validated manually. One such process is inspection, in which several reviewers independently analyze all or part of the speci cation and search for faults. These faults are then collected at a meeting of the reviewers and author(s). Usually, reviewers use Ad Hoc or Checklist methods to uncover faults. These methods force all reviewers to rely...

Increasing sophistications and complexity of modern projects create new challenges to design management practices. This paper discusses an integrated approach for managing design complexity in engineering projects. Innovations in architectural design, construction processes, information technology and communications and increasing regulations have significant contributions in resulting complexi...

Collaborative design is a common practice in modern product development. Companies specializing in different disciplines, which are often geographically separated, work together to develop solutions for the benefit of overall design. In such inter-organizational collaboration, participants hiding individual skills and design rationales is highly desirable. To fulfill this requirement, this stud...

Introduction: When using parallel transmission at high field, it is well established that high local specific absorption rate (SAR) values can occur [1]. A conservative approach to guarantee patient safety can be provided by using the worst-case scenario to derive the limits to be enforced by the SAR monitor [2]. This approach significantly limits the in-vivo applications of parallel transmissi...

In this paper, the author reports findings from research concerning the planning of learning scenarios in education. The purpose of the research is to explore the value of this scenario planning and reflection-on-action. In particular, the research objective is to explore how this innovative method can guide the adoption of ICT in education and cultivate competencies for lifelong and lifewide l...

This position paper examines a critical paradox in e-health: there is a striking gap between critical information services for health care that can be implemented today using existing in information and communication technologies and those services that are actually available. Facets of this paradox are examined in the context of Canadian analyses and policy, advanced research on health care re...
