  2. 11. Routing and quality of service in wireless and disruption tolerant networks

    Author : Anders Lindgren; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Dependable Communication and Computation Systems; Kommunikations- och beräkningssystem;

    Abstract : Wireless networks have become a common means of communication, and their popularity continues to rise as they enable communication in locations and settings where it was previously unfeasible. While promising many advantages, these networks also pose new challenges. READ MORE

  4. 12. Capturing Value from Green Offers – An Examination of Environmental Differentiation and Economic Performance

    Author : Marcus Linder; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; circular business model; business case for sustainability; business model; circular economy; environmental innovation.; Value appropriation; environmental strategy;

    Abstract : This thesis examines how a number of Swedish firms try to create and appropriate economic value from offers that are differentiated by low environmental impact. It presents empirical, methodological and theoretical contributions to the environmental strategy literature, focusing on the appropriation of economic value by profit-seeking firms. READ MORE

  5. 13. Strategic Positioning of the Emerging Third-Party Logistics Providers

    Author : Magnus Berglund; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Logistics service providers; Third-party logistics; Outsourcing; Value creation; Strategic positioning;

    Abstract : The dissertation deals with the so-called Third-Party logistics Provider (TPLP) with the purpose of explaining strategic positions of the emerging TPLPs. The development of Third-Party Logistics (TPL) can be said to have occurred during the last 15 - 20 years and have created a new kind of service, i.e. READ MORE

  6. 14. A Middleware for Self-Managing Large-Scale Systems

    Author : Constantin Adam; Rolf Stadler; Arun Iyengar; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; autonomic computing; self-organization; decentralized control; web services; quality of service; Telecommunication; Telekommunikation;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates designs that enable individual components of a distributed system to work together and coordinate their actions towards a common goal. While the basic motivation for our research is to develop engineering principles for large-scale autonomous systems, we address the problem in the context of resource management in server clusters that provide web services.

  7. 15. Provisioning Strategies for Transparent Optical Networks Considering Transmission Quality, Security, and Energy Efficiency

    Author : Amornrat Jirattigalachote; Lena Wosinska; Paolo Monti; Biswanath Mukherjee; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; transparent optical networks; routing and wavelength assignment; physical-layer impairments; signal quality; differentiation of services; physical-layer attacks; power equalizers; Greedy Randomized Adaptive Search Procedure GRASP ; green networks; energy awareness; dedicated path protection; shared path protection; survivable WDM networks;

    Abstract : The continuous growth of traffic demand driven by the brisk increase in number of Internet users and emerging online services creates new challenges for communication networks. The latest advances in Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) technology make it possible to build Transparent Optical Networks (TONs) which are expected to be able to satisfy this rapidly growing capacity demand.
