Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to help domestic private enterprises (DPEs) identify their strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) in developing infrastructure projects in China. Design/methodology/approach – The paper draws on extensive literature reviews coupled with brainstorming and interviews methodologies to compile a list of SWOT factors for DPEs in developing inf...

Although biomedical physicists provide educational services to the healthcare professions in the majority of universities in Europe, their precise role with respect to the education of the healthcare professions has not been studied systematically. To address this issue we are conducting a research project to produce a strategic development model for the role using the well-established SWOT (St...

Successful strategic decisions provide the appropriate operational actions for the right markets at the correct time. Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) analysis is a generally used tool which examines strengths and weaknesses of organization or industry together with opportunities and threats of the marketplace environment.

After 15 years of development of instruction sequence theory (IST) writing a SWOT analysis about that project is long overdue. The paper provides a comprehensive SWOT analysis of IST based on a recent proposal concerning the terminology for the theory and applications of instruction sequences.

In this demonstration, we present our Semantic W eb of Things (SWoT) prototyping toolkit called SWoTSuite. It is a set of tools supporting an easy and fast prototyping of end-to-end SWoT applications. SWoTSuite facilitates (i) automation of application development life-cycle, (ii) reducing the amount of time and effort required for developing WoT applications and (iii) an easy integration of se...

SWOT analysis is an established method for assisting the formulation of strategy. An application to strategy formulation and its incorporation into the strategic development process at the University of Warwick is described. The application links SWOT analysis to resource-based planning, illustrates it as an iterative rather than a linear process and embeds it within the overall planning proces...

The Semantic Web and Internet of Things visions are converging toward the so-called Semantic Web of Things (SWoT). It aims to enable smart semantic-enabled applications and services in ubiquitous contexts. Due to architectural and performance issues, it is currently impractical to use existing Semantic Web reasoners. They are resource consuming and are basically optimized for standard inference...
