This research concentrates on the design and analysis of an algorithm referred to as Virtual Network Configuration which uses predicted future states of a system for faster network configuration and management. Virtual Network Configuration is applied to the configuration of a wireless mobile Asynchronous Transfer Mode network. Virtual Network Configuration is built on techniques from parallel ...

The importance of semantic based web services has been widely recognized and accepted by the industry and academic research. In this paper, we first motivate the demand for semantic based distributed production configuration taking place in the supply chain under B2B situation, then propose a solution for the configuration system, in which we apply the DAML+OIL Language to describe multi-layere...

in today’s competitive business environment, the design and management of supply chainnetwork is one of the most important challenges that managers encounter. the supply chain network shouldbe designed for satisfying of customer demands as well as minizing the total system costs. this paper presentsa multi-period multi-stage supply chain network design problem under demand uncertainty. the prob...

Purpose Despite the systemic nature of circular economy (CE), theorisation that draws from a supply network perspective is only incipient. Moreover, operations and chain management (OSCM) field has engaged in little dialogue with circularity. This study explores social analysis (SNA) to depict how shift linear not leads higher rates resource economy, repair recycle but also reshapes governance ...

Small-sized hybrid wind-hydro-solar power generation systems may be designed to solve the power supply problem in some rural areas. Optimal design models are developed to design the hybrid generation systems including battery banks and to provide the optimum system configuration. It is ensured that the annualized cost of the systems is minimized while satisfying the required loss of power suppl...
