Shortcomings of transport network technologies were the main driver behind strong efforts of standardization organizations to develop control plane frameworks since 2001. Despite the findings of previous studies that the control plane framework deployment will lead to a 50 percent decrease in...

Este artículo es producto de la revisión bibliográfica sobre la utilización de las Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicaciones (TIC's) y su nivel de aplicación en la industria colombiana a través del análisis de algunos estudios existentes. Para esto se parte de conceptos generales...

The increasing demand for bandwidth and the error-prone, costly, and long-lasting service provisioning process force carriers to find new ways of automatic service provisioning. Despite the introduction of numerous path computation procedures, suitable for WDM-technology-based networks, very few...

Information technologies penetrate virtually every division in contemporary organizations. Organizations deploy a spectrum of information technologies with aim of alleviating operating efficiency. Knowledge workers increasingly depend on deployed information systems to accomplish their tasks....

Multi-staged R&D projects are copy-book cases of compound real options. Traditional compound option models assume a constant volatility over the lifetime of the project. Building on the n-fold compound option model of Cassimon et al. (2004), we extend this model to allow for phase-specific...
