Information Technology for Manufacturing:

A Research Agenda

This book describes a vision of manufacturing in the twenty-first century that maximizes efficiencies and improvements by exploiting the full power of information and provides a research agenda for information technology and manufacturing that is necessary for success in achieving such a vision. Research on information technology to support product and process design, shop-floor operations, and flexible manufacturing is described. Roles for virtual manufacturing and the information infrastructure are also addressed. A final chapter is devoted to nontechnical research issues.

Chapters 3 through 6 discuss a research agenda for information technology
related to manufacturing. If this research agenda is fully pursued, the scope of
what is achievable will be greatly expanded. However, an equally important
challenge ...

Atomic Information Technology

Safety and Economy of Nuclear Power Plants

Atomic Information Technology revaluates current conceptions of the information technology aspects of the nuclear industry. Economic and safety research in the nuclear energy sector are explored, considering statistical methods which incorporate Monte-Carlo simulations for practical applications. Divided into three sections, Atomic Information Technology covers: Atomic economics and management, Atomic safety and reliability, and Atomic safeguarding and security. Either as a standalone volume or as a companion to conventional nuclear safety and reliability books, Atomic Information Technology acts as a concise and thorough reference on statistical assessment technology in the nuclear industry. Students and industry professionals alike will find this a key tool in expanding and updating their understanding of this industry and the applications of information technology within it.

Abstract New kind of technology is promoted for the marketing creation. The 3
kinds of the technologies as the info-technology (IT), nano-technology (NT), and
bio-technology (BT) are applied to the nuclear technology. A new field ...

Geospatial Information Technology for Emergency Response

Disaster management is generally understood to consist of four phases: mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery. While these phases are all important and interrelated, response and recovery are often considered to be the most critical in terms of saving lives. Response is the acute phase occurring after the event, and includes all arrangements to remove detriments and a long-term inventory of supplies to deal with irreversible damage. The timely provision of geospatial information is crucial in the decision-making process, and can save lives and rescue citizens. The aim of this volume is to share technological advances that allow wider, faster and more effective utilization of geospatial information in emergency response situations. The volume describes current accomplishments and challenges in providing geospatial information with these attributes, and is organized in six parts: - Practice and legislation, with a focus on the utilization of geospatial information in recent disaster events, as well as resulting legislative attempts to share and access data. - Data collection and data products. - Data management and routing in 3D. - Emerging technologies, including positioning, virtual reality and simulation models. - Integration of heterogeneous data. - Applications and solutions. This volume is aimed at researchers, practitioners and students who work in the variety of disciplines related to geospatial information technology for emergency response, and represents the very best of current thinking from a number of pioneering studies over the past four years.

Success and Pitfalls of Information Technology Management

Some of the most powerful tools in the hands of educators, researchers and managers are documented cases based on real-life experiences of others. This is particularly true for IT implementation and implications. Success and Pitfalls of Information Technology Management is a collection of actual, real-life cases dealing with a variety of issues in the overall utilization of IT in organizations.

In response to increasing competition and cost pressures from managed-care
practices, healthcare organizations are turning to information technology (IT) to
increase efficiency of their operations and reach out to new patient markets.

The Triumph of Technique

The Industrialization of Agriculture and the Destruction of Rural America

In agriculture no less than the other practical arts, technique has played a determining role. Besides provide the instruments for the creation of a centralized economy, technique has spawned numerous tools, such as pesticides and chemical fertilizers, bioengineered crops, and confined animal feeding operations. These and other technologies have transformed agriculture into agribusiness, thereby taking the art out of farming.
