The application of Life Cycle (LC) Approaches – including Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), eco-design and environmental labelling – is becoming an increasing reality for business, and a growing challenge in many economic sectors. Businesses are facing increasing legal and market requirements to enhance resource efficiency and reduce the environmental impact of their products & services. To signific...

The success of any cloud-based application depends on appropriate decisions being taken at each phase of the life cycle of that application coupled with the stage of the organisation’s business strategy at any given time. Throughout the life cycle of a cloud-based project, various stakeholders are involved. This requires a consistent definition of organizational, legal and governance issues reg...

Business process models usually capture data exchanged between tasks in terms of objects. These objects are commonly standardized using reference data models that prescribe, among other things, allowed object states. Allowed state transitions can be modeled as object life cycles that require compliance of business processes. In this paper, we first establish a notion of compliance of a business...

This paper proposes a five-stage life cycle model to describe business development from birth to death with the five elements theory. A five-stage model, including birth, survival, success, decline, and renewal, is developed in terms of interactions of business functions, which are classified into the Chinese five elements. Each stage of the business life cycle could be characterized by the dif...

Information System (IS) success has been an essential research issue in the IS community for nearly two generations of IS researchers. For the Business Intelligence (BI) domain we see the lack of a comprehensive, life cycle oriented success model. Based on an extensive review of BI success related literature, we propose a methodology for creating such success models in general and demonstrate t...

there are many claims that quantum mechanics plays a key role in the origin and/or operation of biological organisms. the mechanism of the meiosis, mitosis and gametes life cycle from the view-point of quantum for human has been represented. the quantum gates have been used to simulate these processes for the first time. the reason of several hundred sperms has been explained in the male too
