The Tire Industry : A Comparative Study About The Strategy of Internationalization of French and Japanese Multinationals

Abstract: Strong postwar popularity of the automobile supported the redevelopment of the tire industry, which increased its capital investment, expanded the product lines and continued to growth through the 1970s. The technological innovation of the radial tire allowed French tiremaker Michelin to improve the major qualities of its tires and to expand abroad. In the early 1970s, competition among radial tire makers became severe in the US as well as in Europe, instead, insulated in Japan, Japanese carmakers bought Japanese tires knowing they inferior to European ones. That support provided them with the resources and the time to improve and progress, both in terms of market and technology to internationally competitive levels.

Regards philosophiques sur la question de la démarcation entre science et non-science aujourd’hui

Abstract: Les enjeux de la question de la demarcation entre science et non-science se trouvent profondement renouveles dans nos societes contemporaines qui placent les sciences et l’innovation technologique au cœur de leur developpement. Quelles ressources offre aujourd’hui la philosophie des sciences pour penser cette demarcation et proposer des criteres de demarcation operationnels ? Sans souci d’exhaustivite, cet article presente quelques-unes des principales propositions philosophiques recentes en la matiere, qui ont en commun de prendre acte a la fois de l’insuffisance des criteres epistemologiques classiques proposes au XXe siecle et de l’abandon d’une vision unitaire des sciences qui allait de pair avec ces criteres.

Domain Ontologies Evolutions to Solve Semantic Conflicts.

Abstract: The growth and variety of distributed information sources imply a need to exchange and/or to share information extracted from various and heterogeneous databases. The cooperation of heterogeneous information systems requires advanced architectures able to solve conflicts coming from data heterogeneity (structural and semantic heterogeneity). To resolve semantic conflicts relatively to evolutive domain ontologies following databases evolution according to the dialogue between agents, taking care of scalability issues, we propose a multi-agent system. These interaction protocols allowing ontologies evolution are currently implemented by using Java and the JADE (Java Agent DEvelopment framework) platform.
