Learning to synthesise contradictions: an Austrian approach to bridging time concepts in the strategic theory of the firm
2012
Moving from an inquiry on the notions of time underlying strategy studies, in this paper we lay the groundwork for the elaboration of a multitemporal view of the firm. We draw on the Austrian process view in economic studies and on Nonaka's idea of synthesising capabilities to formulate a methodological framework which consents the elaboration of a multitemporal view of the resource-based firm, in which different time concepts are bridged and main actor behaviours crucial for prolonged firm success are encompassed. We then show how the multitemporal view of the firm which emerges from the deployment of the integration of the Austrian and Nonakian approaches consents the reinterpretation and…
Dependability-Based Reliability Analysis in URC Networks: Availability in the Space Domain
2019
Ultra-reliable low latency communication (URLLC), which refers to achieving almost 100% reliability at a certain (satisfactory) level of services and stringent latency, is one of the key requirements for 5G networks. However, most prior studies on reliable communication did not address space domain analysis. Neither were they pursued from a dependability perspective. This paper addresses the ultra-reliable communication (URC) aspect of URLLC and aims at advocating the concept of URC from a dependability perspective in the space domain. We perform in-depth analysis on URC considering both the spatial characteristics of cell deployment and user distributions, as well as service requirements. …
Time-Space Domain Availability Analysis Under Reliability Impairments
2019
Availability and reliability are two essential metrics for the design, deployment, and operation of future ultra-reliable low latency communication (URLLC) networks. Despite a vast amount of research efforts toward URLLC, very little attention has been made on the ultra-reliable communication (URC) aspect of URLLC from a dependability perspective. As an effort toward achieving anytime and anywhere communication, this letter consolidates a dependability theory-based availability concept for individual users by taking into account reliability impairments that affect URC in both spatial and temporal domains . To this end, we perform per-user availability analysis by considering channel status …
Achieving Ultra Reliable Communication in 5G Networks: A Dependability Perspective Availability Analysis in the Space Domain
2017
As part of the 5G communication paradigm, ultra reliable communication (URC) is envisaged as an important technology pillar for providing anywhere and anytime services to end users. While most existing studies on reliable communication do not investigate this problem from a dependability theory perspective, those dependability-based studies tend to define reliability merely in the time domain. In this letter, we advocate extending the concept of URC from the dependability perspective also in the space domain . We initiate definitions on cell availability and system availability. The availability and the probability of providing a guaranteed level of availability in a network are analyzed bo…
Use and Identification of Components in Component-Based Software Development Methods
2000
New software systems are needed ever more but to keep up with this trend software developers must learn to create quality software more efficiently. One approach is to (re-)use components as building blocks of the new software. Recently there has been more interest to create component-based software development methods to support this. In this article we first set out requirements for reuse-based software development and then evaluate three component-based methods, namely Catalysis, OMT++, and Unified Process. As a conclusion we argue that evaluated methods produce prefabricated components and that component-based means that software developers can change better components to existing syste…
A Novel Architecture for Inter-FPGA Traffic Collision Management
2014
International audience; —with the increasing complexity of various communi-cations and applications, Network-On-Chip (NoC) is one of the most efficient communication structures. Multi-FPGA platforms are considered as the most appropriate experimental solutions to emulate a large size of MPSoCs (Multi-Processor System-on-Chip) based on a NoC. The deployment of the NoC into several FPGAs requires the use of inter-FPGA communication links. The number and performance of external links restrict the bandwidth of communication. Currently, the number of inter-FPGA signals is considered as a substantial problem in NoC implemented on Multi-FPGA architectures. In this paper, we propose the integration…
Language-Integrated Privacy-Aware Distributed Queries
2019
Distributed query processing is an effective means for processing large amounts of data. To abstract from the technicalities of distributed systems, algorithms for operator placement automatically distribute sequential data queries over the available processing units. However, current algorithms for operator placement focus on performance and ignore privacy concerns that arise when handling sensitive data. We present a new methodology for privacy-aware operator placement that both prevents leakage of sensitive information and improves performance. Crucially, our approach is based on an information-flow type system for data queries to reason about the sensitivity of query subcomputations. Ou…
Deploying harmonized ITS services in the framework of EasyWay project
2012
In the last decade, the use of new technologies in the transportation domain has made possible the development of the Intelligent Transport System (ITS). However, the ITS services were deployed isolated. The purpose of the EasyWay Project is to involve all the European countries to deploy harmonized ITS services taking into account the European citizen as final In this paper, an introduction of EasyWay project is done, including the ITS concept services and the Deployment Guidelines. A deployment guideline for traffic management and corridors is presented. Using this guideline, a real Spanish Traffic management Plan is analyzed.
A symbolic distributed event detection scheme for Wireless Sensor Networks
2016
Due to the possibility of extensive and pervasive deployment of many tiny sensor devices in the area of interest, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) result particularly suitable to detect significant events and to react accordingly in industrial and home scenarios. In this context, fuzzy inference systems for event detection in WSNs have proved to be accurate enough in treating imprecise sensory readings to decrease the number of false alarms. Besides reacting to event occurrences, the whole network may infer more information to enrich the event semantics resulting from reasoning processes carried out on the individual nodes. Contextual knowledge, including spatial and temporal relationships, …
Introduction to ICT Enabled Services Minitrack
2015
The purpose of the minitrack is to draw researchers’ attention to ICT Enabled Services for both Consumers and Enterprises. It provides a discussion forum for researchers interested in fostering a service-based approach to these areas as well as an opportunity to present and debate both design and theory-based solutions to the problems facing industry in the deployment of ICT enabled services [1-4]. In a broad sense, ICT enabled services can be defined as [1]: “..systems that enable value co-creation through the development and implementation of information and communication technology enabled processes that integrate system value propositions with customer value drivers.”
