Every year, millions of functional systems become e-waste because users are pressured to send their systems to landfills due to a lack of vendor support and difficulty in recycling. Vendors cite ``cybersecurity'' as the driver for short…
In the evolving digital landscape, network flow models have transcended traditional applications to become integral in diverse sectors, including supply chain management. This research develops a robust network flow model for semiconductor…
Market price systems constitute a well-understood class of mechanisms that under certain conditions provide effective decentralization of decision making with minimal communication overhead. In a market-oriented programming approach to…
We study the empirical relationship between green technologies and industrial production at very fine-grained levels by employing Economic Complexity techniques. Firstly, we use patent data on green technology domains as a proxy for…
Recent events such as wars, sanctions, pandemics, and climate change have shown the importance of proper supply network management. A key step in managing supply networks is procurement. We present an approach for realizing a…
Nowadays, enterprises are confronted to growing needs for traceability, product genealogy and product life cycle management. To meet those needs, the enterprise and applications in the enterprise environment have to manage flows of…
The impact of globalization and worldwide competition has forced firms to modify their strategies towards a real time operation with respect to customer's requirements. This behaviour, together with the communication possibilities offered…
The debate between the optimal way of allocating societal surplus (i.e. products and services) has been raging, in one form or another, practically forever; following the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the market became the only…
Mobile networks are becoming energy hungry, and this trend is expected to continue due to a surge in communication and computation demand. Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC), will entail energy-consuming services and applications, with…
While cyclic scheduling is involved in numerous real-world applications, solving the derived problem is still of exponential complexity. This paper focuses specifically on modelling the manufacturing application as a cyclic job shop problem…
Temporary luxury branded events run on short cycles and bespoke builds that accelerate material churn. We present a circular phygital product-service system that operationalises the circular economy (CE) through a 4R frame (Refuse, Reduce,…
Labor market institutions are central for modern economies, and their polices can directly affect unemployment rates and economic growth. At the individual level, unemployment often has a detrimental impact on people's well-being and…
When we consider the application layer of networked infrastructures, data and control flow are important concerns in distributed systems integration. Modularity is a fundamental principle in software design, in particular for distributed…
The effective usages of computational resources are a primary concern of up-to-date distributed applications. In this paper, we present a methodology to reason about resource usages (acquisition, release, revision, ...), and therefore the…
The rising share of abundant renewable energy inevitably increases volatility in the electricity production. The concept of sector coupling means that the volatility of electricity production to a large degree can be absorbed by dispatching…
Research interest in Grid computing has grown significantly over the past five years. Management of distributed resources is one of the key issues in Grid computing. Central to management of resources is the effectiveness of resource…
In modern online services, frequent software changes introduce significant risks. To tackle this challenge, we propose SCELM (Software Change Evaluation and Lifecycle Management), an end-to-end automated framework for software change…
We live in an age of consumption with an ever-increasing demand of already scarce resources and equally fast growing problems of waste generation and climate change. To tackle these difficult issues, we must learn from mother nature. Just…
Products with new features need to be introduced on the market in a rapid pace and organizations need to speed up their development process. The ordinary way to develop products, one at a time, is not time efficient enough and is costly.…
Product take-back legislation forces manufacturers to bear the costs of collection and disposal of products that have reached the end of their useful lives. In order to reduce these costs, manufacturers can consider reuse, remanufacturing…
