The concept of vertical farming is nearly twenty years old, however, there are only a few experimental prototypes despite its many advantages compared to conventional agriculture. Significantly, financial uncertainty has been identified as the largest barrier to the realization of a ‘real'...

The history of airline safety includes both FAA economic and safety measures that have grown over the years. This article provides a timeline of airline safety trends from crew resource management to safety management systems. Industry challenges are identified to include operational...

This paper presents a new and optimal proposal of energy management strategy for a solar panels/wind turbines/fuel cell/battery/alkaline electrolyzer on grid hybrid power system. These new proposal takes into account technical and economical optimization parameters, improving the system...

Das Ziel dieser Arbeit ist die Darstellung der Softwarearchitektur des im Heft 6(2005) der Wismarer Diskussionspapiere (s. [1]) vorgestellten Simulators für eineneinfachen Fahrradcomputer. Diese Darstellung kann für alle diejenigen interessantsein, die Simulatoren für Geräte entwickeln, in...

A key issue raised by previous researchers is the extent to which learning versus market structure is responsible for the high efficiency regularly observed for the double auction in human-subject experiments. In this study, a computational discrete double auction with discriminatory pricing is...

Today´s derivate pricing base on stochastic models developed in the 70´s. These models base on some unrealistic assumptions. The system WARRANT PRO 1 presented here combines the software agent PISA (Partially Intelligent Software Agent) and the neurosimulator FAUN (Fast Approximation with...

What makes economics so attractive for computing environments is that its central researchquestion lies in the efficient allocation of resources, provided by suppliers and indemand by customers. In computing environments like Grid Computing, the resourcesin question are processor time or storage...

The primary target of the CATNETS project is the quantitative comparison between thetechnical and economic efficiency of market-based resource allocation mechanisms inapplication layer networks such as Grids. Here, two fundamentally different approachesare compared. A centralized –...
