This paper shows how different properties of time and their ethical implications are reflected in the framing debates around planning perceived problem delay delivery infrastructure. We examine way which plans can take form ‘time maps’ that linear projections a series events. lead to assumptions desired futures only be achieved if actions constitute events performed correctly often coupled with...

Industry continues to look for methods of gaining competitive advantage through manufacturing techniques. These techniques, however, can be matched by competitors if used without the guidance of a strategic framework. Similarly, structural capacity choices can be matched by competitors without the infrastructural benefits of a well defined operations strategy. In this study, multiattribute util...

Research in context-aware systems shows that using context information enables the development of personalized mobile applications. The context acquisition process in a context-aware (CA) system consists of two main roles: context producing entities (e.g. wrapped sensors) and context consuming entities (e.g. CA application). A CA system can be seen as a hierarchy of associated context producers...

According to the essential facilities doctrine, competition law requires an infrastructural monopoly to provide access. Under the ”Bronner criterion”, proposed by the EC Court, the doctrine is only applicable when an infrastructural duopoly is non-viable. This paper uses a simple model to illustrate that, from a welfare point-of-view, the Bronner criterion may provide too little monopoly protec...

This study is related to an Islamic project financing with a major focus on investigating the role of Islamic finance in financing infrastructural development projects (toll roads, power plants, airports, and plants, as well as natural resource exploitation projects, such as hydroelectric dams, mining projects, oil and gas assets, and paper mills), especially in the context of Pakistan. Infrast...

The post 9/11 Western World has been heavily marked by a near nearparanoid emphasis on the catastrophic threats posed by so-called cyber terrorism. Such cyber terror attacks, however, have, so far, been noticeable by their absence. At the same time a much more hidden, but increasingly pervasive form of forced demodernisation state infrastructural warfare is emerging as a central component of co...
