Review of Published Chain Information System Research

This paper provides a review of the literature on chains and networks that examine inter-organisational information systems used to manage chains of organisations. Difficulty was found in finding out how organisations exchanged information to manage relationships with customers and suppliers in chains. Most research publications found were based on case studies and few looked at chains of three or more organisations. Substantial research over a greater time period was found on dyadic buyer-seller inter-organisational relationships (companies and either their customers or suppliers). Conclusions are made about how to describe inter-organisational information systems and suggestions for empirical chain research using comparative pairs for data collection and analysis

Évaluation des températures de rotation et de vibration à partir du spectre d'émission A/sup 2/ Delta -X/sup 2/ Pi de la molécule CH

An emission spectrum of the CH radical at 430 nm composed of three oscillation (0,0), (1,1) and (2,2) bands of the A/sup 2/ Delta -X/sup 2/ Pi transition is studied in order to diagnose the high temperature media containing hydrocarbons. The spectrum is simulated for the different vibrational T/sub v/ and rotational T/sub r/ temperatures ranging from 2000 to 8000 K and compared to the spectrum recorded from an argon-methane plasm

A dynamic product flow model for a mixed ecological farm - an ICT application for ecological agriculture

Specialised farming systems, which focus on producing one or few products, are characterised by high productivity but also by high amounts of detrimental emissions and low quality residual products that makes them unsustainable. Mixed ecological farming systems, which focus on several products, are characterised by processes with cyclic product flows and low levels of detrimental emissions that makes them more sustainable. In this article, a model is introduced that provides a tool for developing and managing sustainability at mixed ecological farms. This will be done from a quality assurance perspective. The core of the model is the process informatics layer that connects business control and process control. This approach structures and generates data from business processes and physical processes and in this way acts as a decision-making platform or learning environment. The model can form a basis for an operational or tactical decision-support syste
