Delivering knowledge in the field: A telecommunications service provision and maintenance case
This paper proposes a novel approach to providing knowledge management services in a business
process wherein field engineers are the main process actors, providing and maintaining
telecommunications services. Cooperating multi-agents play a central role for the provision of
knowledge management services by integrating heterogeneous systems to collect related knowledge
for the execution of mobile tasks. The proposed system is expected to increase both the performance of
the mobile workforce and customer satisfaction by supporting and encouraging knowledge sharing
The Role of Transportation in Campus Emergency Planning, MTI Report 08-06
In 2005, Hurricane Katrina created the greatest natural disaster in American history. The states of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama sustained significant damage, including 31 colleges and universities. Other institutions of higher education, most notably Louisiana State University (LSU), became resources to the disaster area. This is just one of the many examples of disaster impacts on institutions of higher education. The Federal Department of Homeland Security, under Homeland Security Presidential Directiveâ5, requires all public agencies that want to receive federal preparedness assistance to comply with the National Incident Management System (NIMS), which includes the creation of an Emergency Operations Plan (EOP). Universities, which may be victims or resources during disasters, must write NIMSâcompliant emergency plans. While most university emergency plans address public safety and logistics management, few adequately address the transportation aspects of disaster response and recovery. This MTI report describes the value of integrating transportation infrastructure into the campus emergency plan, including planning for helicopter operations. It offers a list of materials that can be used to educate and inform campus leadership on campus emergency impacts, including books about the Katrina response by LSU and Tulane Hospital, contained in the reportÂŽs bibliography. It provides a complete set of Emergency Operations Plan checklists and organization charts updated to acknowledge lessons learned from Katrina, 9/11 and other wideâscale emergencies. Campus emergency planners can quickly update their existing emergency management documents by integrating selected annexes and elements, or create new NIMSâcompliant plans by adapting the complete set of annexes to their universityÂŽs structures

Development of hazard analysis and critical control points (HACCP) procedures to control organic chemical hazards in the agricultural production of raw food commodities
Hazard Analysis by Critical Control Points (HACCP) is a systematic approach to the identification, assessment and control of hazards in the food chain. Effective HACCP requires the consideration of all possible hazards, i.e., chemical, microbiological and physical. However, current procedures focus primarily upon microbiological and physical hazards, and, to date, chemical aspects of HACCP have received relatively little attention. Consequently, this report discusses the application of HACCP to organic chemical contaminants and the particular problems that are likely to encounter within the agricultural sector. It also presents generic templates for the development of organic chemical contaminant HACCP procedures for selected raw food commodities, i.e., cereal crops, raw meats and milk
Development and construction of China
Libraries in China's higher education institutions have been developing in keeping pace with the flourishing development of China's higher education. This article aims to make an introduction to the construction of China's higher education libraries, especially the recent three decades' achievements since China's reform and opening-up in 1978. In this article, the authors draw a general picture of the development of libraries in China's higher education institutions, covering such eight aspects as management, types and positioning, organizational structure and personnel, expenditure and buildings, reader service, building and sharing of resources as well as automation system.</p
A Review of the Enviro-Net Project
Ecosystems monitoring is essential to properly understand their development
and the effects of events, both climatological and anthropological in nature.
The amount of data used in these assessments is increasing at very high rates.
This is due to increasing availability of sensing systems and the development
of new techniques to analyze sensor data. The Enviro-Net Project encompasses
several of such sensor system deployments across five countries in the
Americas. These deployments use a few different ground-based sensor systems,
installed at different heights monitoring the conditions in tropical dry
forests over long periods of time. This paper presents our experience in
deploying and maintaining these systems, retrieving and pre-processing the
data, and describes the Web portal developed to help with data management,
visualization and analysis.Comment: v2: 29 pages, 5 figures, reflects changes addressing reviewers'
