The importance of employees as knowledge workers acting in the correct roles is not a new phenomenon, but as work itself becomes less tangible, concerns with understanding, describing, and managing roles becomes an increasingly complex, challenging, and important subject. In the knowledge...

In this paper, an approach to geocode tweets published in Spanish is proposed. The tweets are related to traffic events within an urban context of the Mexico City. They are generated by a particular phenomenon for knowing the behavior of the involved geographic entities. In order to disambiguate...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the construction of a core ontology for food. To construct the core ontology, the authors propose here an approach called, yet another methodology for ontology plus (YAMO+). The goal is to exhibit the construction of a core ontology for a...

Scheduling jobs in computational Grids is considered as NP-complete problem owing to the heterogeneity of shared resources. The resources belong to many distributed administrative domains that enforce various management policies. Therefore, the use of meta-heuristics are more appropriate option...

Cloud computing is the latest in distributed computing technology. The delivery mechanism between the service provider and users depends on Service Level Agreement (SLA). SLA contains Quality of Service (QoS), which has some constraints such as deadline to achieve user satisfaction. In this...

Limited resources and network dynamicity are challenging issues in Bluetooth networks. Therefore, scatternet formation improvement and efficient routing algorithms are required that can efficiently construct a short route between a source and destination. As of today, many protocols have been...

Grid computing has been used as a new paradigm for solving large and complex scientific problems using resource sharing mechanism through many distributed administrative domains. One of the most challenging issues in computational Grid is efficient scheduling of jobs, because of distributed...

Purpose – Danish municipalities are undergoing continuous changes. An important part of these changes are the introduction and implementation of a wide range of development projects. The purpose of this paper is to focus on the challenges of initiation and implementation of development...

Product development management has evolved through major generations, and each successive generation has enabled far greater performance than the previous one. In the 1990s, aggressive competitors used time‐based product strategies to alter the competitive balance in their industries by...

The transition of the warfare mentality from the conventional domains of engagement (air, land, maritime, and space) to the cyberspace domain has not been an easy one for established organizations and institutions. The battlefield, in which now speed and stealth instead of size and budget are...
