Software Product Families can be used for software mass customization. One major problem within family-based software engineering is the lack of methodological support for application engineering. The large number of decisions and dependencies between these decisions make the task complex and error-prone. Impacts of decisions are not known or overseen...
Traditional Time and Attendance Systems have developed considerably over the years. Technological advancements have led to more comprehensive management solutions that not only record when and where employees are working, to manage sickness, absence and overtime, but can also interface with payroll and HR systems. Additional functionality has also been...
The vehicle industry is experiencing an increased product complexity based on the development of electronics. New functionality requires micro-controllers, software, and networks. Distributed networked systems and embedded systems are nowadays carrying one third of the development costs of a modern car. Systems that earlier were stand-alone are now dependent on...
Not every brand is utilitarian, lending itself to shopping carts and blue underlined links. Even in brands that do support these "rules," there are brand differences that affect the display of content, site nomenclature, and user interactions with the site. This article discusses that brand as a driving force as...

DESPITE an upsurge in human resource development HRD activities in organisations, training departments are still hard put to justify their usefulness and importance to their employers. Part of the reason is that the proliferation of HRD activities has blurred the distinction between what is truly needed by the organisation to...
[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] EFFECTIVE: managerial leadership demands a delicate balance between sensitivity and authority, between the whole and the parts, between loose and tight leadership styles, between functional expertise and cross-functional excellence width of knowledge, internal creating value for organisation and employees and external (creating value for investors, customers,...
[ILLUSTRATIONS OMITTED] THE OFFICE environment affects people enough to increase their productivity. Because we spend more than 10 hours a day in the office, it needs to be comfortable. If possible, the majority of workers should have a window view. When visiting clients who are fortunate...
In our daily life, we generally expect the transport system to be efficient, safe, and reliable. However, there exist several sources of uncertainties in the transportation system both on demand and supply sides. With a constant growth in economic activities most urban transport networks currently operate at...
Recent empirical studies on the value of time and reliability reveal that travel time variability plays an important role on travelers' route choice decision process. It can be considered as a risk to travelers making a trip. Therefore, travelers are not only interested in saving their travel...
Evaluating the reliability of a transportation network often involves an intensive simulation exercise to randomly generate and evaluate different possible network states. This paper proposes an algorithm to approximate the network reliability which minimizes the use of such simulation procedure. The algorithm will dissect and classify the...
As the problem of full transit vehicles is encountered daily by passengers in most of the big cities, previous research evaluated the consequence of overcrowding in terms of on-board crowding and passengers not being able to board with full vehicles. The impact of overcrowding in the real...
This paper proposes a new travel time reliability-based traffic assignment model to investigate the rain effects on risk-taking behaviours of different road users in networks with day-to-day demand fluctuations and variations in travel time. A generalized link travel time function is used to capture the rain effects...
This study performs a theoretical analysis of instability in a departure time choice problem. Stability of equilibrium is an important factor for reliability of travel time. If equilibrium is not stable, travel time changes over a period of days even if demand and network performance are stable....
Optimal toll design from a network reliability point of view is addressed in this paper. Improving network reliability is proposed as a policy objective of road pricing. A reliability-based optimal toll design model, where on the upper level network performance including travel time reliability is optimized, while...
Uncertainty of traffic network operations has been a subject of lively debate in the last decade. However, little effort has been put in developing control frameworks that are not only aimed at improving the average performance of the system, but also at improving the system robustness and...
