Textual information in the form of digital documents quickly accumulates to create huge amounts of data. The majority of these documents are unstructured: it is unrestricted text and has not been organized into traditional databases. Processing documents is therefore a perfunctory task, mostly due to a lack of standards.

This book presents the different models of supply chain performance evaluation for global supply chains. It describes why it is necessary to evaluate global performance both to assess the contribution of the supply chain to achieve the goals of creating value throughout the chain and also to meet customer requirements in terms of time, responsiveness and reliability. The author provides an understanding of how evaluation models are chosen according to criteria including the level of maturity of the organization, the level of decision-making and the level of value creation desired.

This book succinctly presents new methodological principles that will help you raise the quality of your valuable production to enhance your competitiveness.

Written for scientists, researchers, and engineers, Non-volatile Memories describes the recent research and implementations in relation to the design of a new generation of non-volatile electronic memories. The objective is to replace existing memories (DRAM, SRAM, EEPROM, Flash, etc.

This text addresses the common negative perception of polymer materials on the environment with a thorough analysis of what really occurs when industry and academia collaborate to find environmental solutions. The book examines the environmental and social effects of polymer materials and explains methods of quantifying environmental performance.

System virtualization has become increasingly common in distributed systems because of its functionality and convenience for the owners and users of these infrastructures.

Due to the consequences of globa l warming and significant greenhouse gas emissions, several ideas have been studied to reduce these emissions or to suggest solut ions for pollutant remov al. The most promising ideas are reduced consumption, waste recovery and waste treatment by biological systems.

Acoustic Particle Velocity Measurements Using Laser explains the recent research developments in studies on acoustic velocity and depicts their application to innovated causes. Techniques once developed for fluid mechanics are applied to acoustic velocity with informative and educational results.

Transport systems have to meet the mobility needs of people and commodities on all scales, from the local to the global level. Concerns about the energy, fumes and sound emissions produced, and about the safety, service quality, intelligence and lifecycle of the systems, etc. can all be included in a systemic approach.

Subject to tremendous redesign and development in the last decade, wireless sensor networks are advanced and highly in demand, but continue to fall short of their widely perceived potential. This text addresses attempts to scale wireless sensor networks to larger regions and augment their functionality.

With a unique approach to biosensing topics, Nanotechnology discusses biomolecules? immunization methods onto solid surfaces, fluidics issues, and transduction techniques.

In a fast changing global economy governed by Enterprise Servicesand the Future Internet, enterprises and virtual factories willself-organize in distributed, interoperable, innovation Ecosystemswhere the issues of Enterprise Interoperability need to be solvedin a multi-view of information, services and processes throughoutEnterprise Networks.

More and more organizations are becoming aware of the importance of tacit and explicit knowledge owned by their members which corresponds to their experience and accumulated knowledge about the firm activities.

In risk studies, engineers often have to consider the consequences of an accident leading to a shock on a construction. This can concern the impact of a ground vehicle or aircraft, or the effects of an explosion on an industrial site.

This text introduces the principles of routing protocols and metrics as they affect wireless networking environments, specifically in urban areas. Timely because of the recent rise in small city life, this topic includes the consideration of ad hoc, mesh, vehicular, sensor, and delay tolerant networks.

Joint Optimization of Maintenance and Production Policies is a review of recent analyses of joint optimization within intelligent maintenance and production strategies. The articles analyzed cover a variety of constraints, including production management, subtracting environmental degradation, inspection, and product quality.

Conventional topographic databases, obtained by capture on aerial or spatial images provide a simplified 3D modeling of our urban environment, answering the needs of numerous applications (development, risk prevention, mobility management, etc.).

This book contains mathematical preliminaries in which basic definitions of fractional derivatives and spaces are presented. The central part of the book contains various applications in classical mechanics including fields such as: viscoelasticity, heat conduction, wave propagation and variational Hamilton type principles.
