Knowledge management: another management fad? by Leonard J. Ponzi, Michael Koenig

“…While capturing the interest of practitioners and scholars in the mid-1990s, knowledge management remains a broadly defined concept with faddish characteristics. Based on annual counts of article retrieved from <i>Science Citation Index</i>, <i>Social Science Citation Index</i>, and <i>ABI Inform</i> referring to three previous recognized management fad, this paper introduces empirical evidence that proposes that a typical management movement generally reveals itself as a fad in approximately five years. …”

Salome, an Obsessive Compulsive Myth, from Oscar Wilde to Richard Strauss by Jacques Coulardeau

“…Salome is deranged by an obsessive compulsive disorder that leads her to touch everything she desires, repeat things over and over again and count things around her. Oscar Wilde uses these elements to create in French, and then in English in his own translation of the play, a style conveying and expressing these traits. …”

Routing optimization method based on GPCR for vehicular Ad Hoc network by Zhiru GU, Min LI, Yonghong LONG, Xiaohua SHU, Qing RONG

“…To improve the performance in sparse networks,local optimum,and routing loop in the greedy perimeter coordinator routing (GPCR) protocol,the weighted-GPCR (W-GPCR) protocol was proposed.The relationship between vehicle node routing and other parameters such as the Euclidean distance between node pairs,moving direction and density was profoundly analyzed,the composite parameter weighted model was established and the calculation method was designed for the existing routing problems,the weighted parameter ratio was selected adaptively in different scenarios,so as to obtain the optimal next-hop relay node.In order to verify the performance of the W-GPCR method,the proposed method was compared with the existing methods such as the traditional geographic perimeter stateless routing (GPSR) protocol,GPCR and so on,and the results show that the proposed method is superior to the package delivery ratio,end-to-end delay,and average hop count.…”

Time-variant interest community based query message routing algorithm in opportunity social network by Junlei BI, Zhiyuan LI

“…To solve the problem that the successful rate of resource query is low in opportunity social network,a query message routing algorithm based on time-variant interest community was proposed.Two well-known mobile social datasets were firstly analyzed,and then the temporal and spatial correlations of users were found.The time-variant interest communities based on temporal and spatial correlations of users were constructed.Next,a dynamic query routing on the constructed time-variant interest communities was proposed.Theoretical analysis shows that the proposed routing can run in O (nlog n) time.The comparisons between the proposed routing and state-of-the-art message delivery algorithms show that the proposed routing can keep high query success rate,reduce the average query latency and the hop count of a query and maintain low system overhead.…”

Routing approach based on local topology control in cognitive radio networks by Shu-qi LIU, Yi-ming WANG, Cui-mei CUI

“…An approach of topology control and routing was proposed according to the characteristics of cogni ive radio networks,which considered multi factors optimization with fusion of primary users and secondary users.And the ap-proach took the spectrum utilization of primary users the interference from secondary users to primary users into ac-count.Then a joint link cost was defined combining the predicted cognitive link stability with the link power consump-tion.Furthermore,the local cognitive topology control routing(LCTCR)algorithm with minimizing the link cost was presented,which was used to optimize the network topology.Meanwhile,the network path was selected according to the optimized network topology.Theoretical analysis and simulation experiments show that the link power consumption and the link stability are also important parameters and need to be jointly optimized when selecting the network path.Only by doing so can it guarantee that the selected path is optimal.…”
