TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a new business model that allows aggregating multiple revenue streams of electricity storage in a systematic way, which consists in coordinating a series of auctions in which the right to utilize the storage unit is auctioned upon different time horizons.

TL;DR: This paper will outline the tasks that the authors undertook for the CLOIDIFIN project and highlight where the Impact of CC will diversely effect digital forensic investigations.
Abstract: Cloud Computing (CC) as a concept and business opportunity is likely to see many organisations experiencing the 'credit crunch', embrace the relatively low cost option of CC to ensure continued business viability and sustainability. The pay-as-you-go structure of the CC business model is typically suited to SME's who do not have the resources to completely fulfil their IT requirements. Private end users will also look to utilise the colossal pool of resources that CC offers in an attempt to provide mobile freedom of information. However, as with many opportunities that offer legitimate users enormous benefits, unscrupulous and criminal users will also look to use CC to exploit the loopholes that may exist within this new concept, design and business model. This paper will outline the tasks that the authors undertook for the CLOIDIFIN project and highlight where the Impact of CC will diversely effect digital forensic investigations.

TL;DR: In this article, a model was developed which attempts to replicate the strategic decision-making process in a construction firm based on current knowledge, and the model was tested empirically, using data from the Survey on Innovation, Advanced Technologies and Practices in the Construction and Related Industries carried out by Statistics Canada.
Abstract: Current research on the process of innovation has focused attention on the crucial role of the business firm as the place where new ideas are developed and then implemented in the marketplace. Based on current knowledge, a model was developed which attempts to replicate the strategic decision‐making process in a construction firm. It links perceived business environment variables to various business strategy variables (i.e. marketing, human resources and technology). These two sets of variables are linked to the innovativeness of the firm, measured by the number of advanced technologies and/or business practices currently used. Innovativeness is subsequently linked to outcomes (i.e. profitability, competitive advantage) to assess overall effectiveness. The model was tested empirically, using data from the Survey on Innovation, Advanced Technologies and Practices in the Construction and Related Industries carried out by Statistics Canada in 1999 with 1739 usable responses. The results generally support the...

TL;DR: It is suggested that business modeling can be used as an effective approach to supporting holistic development of eHealth technologies through a literature review that covers the latest business model research, concepts from the latest eHealth and persuasive technology research, evaluation and insights from prior eHealth research, as well as the review conducted in the first paper of this series.
Abstract: The impact and uptake of information and communication technologies that support health care are rather low. Current frameworks for eHealth development suffer from a lack of fitting infrastructures, inability to find funding, complications with scalability, and uncertainties regarding effectiveness and sustainability. These issues can be addressed by defining a better implementation strategy early in the development of eHealth technologies. A business model, and thus business modeling, help to determine such an implementation strategy by involving all important stakeholders in a value-driven dialogue on what the technology should accomplish. This idea also seems promising to eHealth, as it can contribute to the whole development of eHealth technology. We therefore suggest that business modeling can be used as an effective approach to supporting holistic development of eHealth technologies. The contribution of business modeling is elaborated in this paper through a literature review that covers the latest business model research, concepts from the latest eHealth and persuasive technology research, evaluation and insights from our prior eHealth research, as well as the review conducted in the first paper of this series. Business modeling focuses on generating a collaborative effort of value cocreation in which all stakeholders reflect on the value needs of the others. The resulting business model acts as the basis for implementation. The development of eHealth technology should focus more on the context by emphasizing what this technology should contribute in practice to the needs of all involved stakeholders. Incorporating the idea of business modeling helps to cocreate and formulate a set of critical success factors that will influence the sustainability and effectiveness of eHealth technology.
