Abstract:
Purpose In the cloud computing era, three merging developments in software industry are: cloud and on-premises software may offer complementary value to each other; cloud software service requires the support of significant information technology infrastructure; and software piracy problems can be better managed in the cloud. However, how these developments together impact a vendor’s bundling strategy has not yet been investigated. The paper aims to discuss this issue. Design/methodology/approach Drawing on the product bundling framework, this research establishes stylized models to study a software vendor’s bundling decision in the cloud-based era with special consideration on the issue of software piracy. Findings The authors find different key parameters associated with the cloud era exert different effects on the bundling decision. When on-premises software and cloud software generate additional value by complementing each other, software vendors can make greater profits under the pure components (PC) strategy. Regarding a low infrastructure cost, software vendors should favor pure bundling (PB). The impact of piracy deterrence effectiveness is less straightforward – it favors PC when piracy deterrence effectiveness is low, but PB when piracy deterrence effectiveness is high. Originality/value This study makes key contributions to theory and practice. First, this is the first study to examine software bundling strategies in the cloud computing era, whereby the three factors relevant to the cloud phenomenon have been considered. Second, this paper contributes to the literature of bundling and software piracy by examining the intersection of these two streams of literature. Third, this paper sheds light on a vendor’s bundling decision when facing piracy problems in the emerging cloud software era.

Abstract:
Cloud computing is offering utility-oriented IT services to users worldwide. Based on pay-as-you-go model, it enables hosting of pervasive applications from consumer, scientific, and business domains. It is a revolution of traditional data centre's and offers subscription-based access to infrastructure, platforms, and applications that are popularly referred to as Infrastructure, Platform and Software as a Service. Numerous IT vendors are promising to offer computation, storage, and application hosting services and to provide coverage in several continents. These vendors required a huge amount of energy for contributing to high dynamic cost along with a drawback of environment pollution. Therefore, current scenario needs Green computing to save energy and reduce dynamic costs too. Because of increasing demand of high speed computation and data storages, distributed computing system has beckon a lot of contemplation. Resource allocation plays an indispensable role in distributed system where clients have service level agreements. Due to these IT Vendors total profit depends on these Service level agreements.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the application of vendor rationalization strategy for streamlining the supplies and manufacturing cycle time reduction in an Indian engineer-to-order (ETO) company. ETO firms are known for a large number of vendors, co-ordination hassles, rework problems and its impact on cycle time and operational excellence. Design/methodology/approach The research demonstrates the case-based application of Kraljic’s matrix for supply and leverages items, on-the-job observations, field visits, discussions and analysis of supplies reports. Findings The study guides on the rationalization of supplies and the necessary strategic alignments that can significantly reduce supply risk, costs, manufacturing and delivery cycle time along with co-ordination hassles. The study depicts the challenges of ETO environment with respect to supplies, and demonstrates the effectiveness of vendor rationalization application for the case company and weaknesses of commonly practiced vendor management approaches. Practical implications To be competitive, companies should rationalize supply items and vendors based on the nature of items and their subsequent usage by applying Kraljic’s matrix-based classification. The immediate implication of vendor rationalization is misunderstood as reducing supply base, but it does much more and includes review of supplies, nature of items and strategic alignments, leading to win-win situation for company and suppliers. Originality/value For the rationalization of supplies, while procuring and dealing with vendors, executives should envisage engineering nature of components, considering cross-functional requirements and integration of components in context to ETO products/projects environments. There is a dearth of studies focusing on vendor rationalization aspects in ETO setups in fast-developing country context.

Abstract:
Software applications for manufacturing systems developed using software from different vendors typically cannot work together. Develop¬ment of custom integrations of manufacturing software incurs costs and delays that hurt industry productivity and competitiveness. Software applications need to be tested in live operational systems. It is impractical to use real industrial systems to support dynamic interoperability test¬ing and research due to: 1) access issues - manu¬facturing facilities are not open to outsiders, as proprietary data and processes may be compro¬mised; 2) technical issues - operational systems are not instrumented to support testing; and 3) cost issues - productivity suffers when actual production systems are taken offline to allow testing. Publicly available simulations do not exist to demonstrate simulation integration issues, validate potential standards solu¬tions, or dynamically test the interoperability of simulation systems and other software applica¬tions. A new, dynamic, simulation-based interoperability testing facility for manufacturing software applications is being developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

Abstract:
This article describes how these days the mobile application market keeps getting bigger because of the different mobile operating systems. So, it has become a challenge for application vendors to provide an application planned for multiple platforms whose operating systems use different technologies. This fragmentation makes the development of mobile applications quite difficult and very expensive. This can be observed at all levels, data storage, software architecture, user interface, access to phone data, communication between applications, etc. To resolve this problem, several solutions exist in the mobile market to develop mobile applications according to the principle “develops once, use everywhere”. In this article, the authors propose a solution based on the MDA approach called “TimPhoneGenerator”. Using TimPhoneGenerator, applications only need to be coded once for all targeted platforms, which reduces development time and costs.

Abstract:
BaaS is the facility to provide backend as a service by various vendors to the companies. The developers will outsource the backend jobs to a private or public vendor which will help them to provide all the backend services using cloud technique at a reasonable cost. The cost will depend upon the types and number of backend services required by the organisation. It can be modified at any point of time and as a result of this the costing will also change. By using the BaaS provided by the vendor, the developers can spend and utilise their time at the front-end coding of applications of the system. In this way efficient software and system can be developed which will have latest techniques and gives efficient performance. The paper will explain the characteristics of backend as a service and how it is beneficial for the organisations. There are certain challenges while shifting the existing backend services to the public cloud services provided by the vendor which will be discussed in this paper.

Abstract:
Organizations that purchase packaged application software – for example, an Enterprise Resource Planning system – must make choices about customization. Packaged software vendors and practitioners recommend that organizations customize software as little as possible, and instead adapt their processes to meet the “best practices” of the software. However, organizations continue to exceed their budgets on implementing and maintaining customized software. This suggests that either these organizations are making poor decisions, or that the conventional wisdom about customization is incorrect. In this paper the author models the primary factors in the customization decision, most notably the “fit” between desired processes and the procedures inherent in the packaged software. The author then consider costs related to development, maintenance, and technical corrections due to poor integration and performance; and benefits related to increased fit, technical corrections, and user acceptance. This paper extends prior work by (1) modelling nonlinear relationships between the amount of time spent on custom development and the resulting benefits, (2) modelling nonlinear relationships between development costs and maintenance costs, and (3) modelling corrective development as a function of development related to fit and user acceptance. The author uses simulation techniques to illustrate the conditions under which customization is likely to provide value to the organization, as well as conditions under which customization should be avoided.

Businesses that purchase packaged application software – for example, an Enterprise Resource Planning system – must make choices about customization. Packaged software vendors, anecdotal evidence, and practitioner-oriented research all recommend that businesses should customize software as little as possible, and instead adapt their processes to meet the “best practices” of the software. However, businesses continue to outspend their budgets on implementing and maintaining customized software, often to a significant extent. This suggests that either these businesses are making poor decisions, or that the conventional wisdom about customization is incorrect. In this paper the authors model the primary factors in the customization decision: “fit” between the desired business process and the packaged software; costs related to development, maintenance, integration, and performance; and benefits related to increased fit, integration, performance, and user acceptance. They use simulation techniques to illustrate the conditions under which customization is likely to provide value to the organization, as well as conditions under which customization should be avoided.

Abstract:
Due to its potential benefits in data transparency, maintenance, and optimization of operation, the Internet of Things (IoT) has recently emerged in the building automation system (BAS) domain. However, while various IoT devices have been developed, the integration into BAS remains a challenging task due to the variety of conventional interfaces used in existing BAS. From an objective point of view, integrating IoT connectivity on existing devices’ printed circuit boards (PCBs) would be the most efficient option in terms of cost and resources, but requires adaptation of product lines, and vendors would often couple this with their own services and without an option for customization. By contrast, the majority of research activities focus on developing alternative or additional measurement systems, rather than connecting with legacy system components. Furthermore, most research applications cover very simple and individual use-cases with a do-it-yourself character and limited applicability in industrial applications. In this study, we present a scalable, industrial-like embedded solution to connect to common interfaces in BAS applications and share all the hardware and software design as an open-source platform for public use, customization, and further enhancement. Moreover, a thorough measurement performance analysis was conducted, suggesting an acceptable trade-off among accuracy, flexibility, and costs, e.g., achieving a performance increase by over 75 and a cost reduction by roughly 34 compared to a previous design.

Waveform Description Language (WDL) was invented to ease the process of porting legacy and/ or new radio waveforms to Programmable / Software Radios. WDL has two primary requirements; 1st it is to provide a rigorous executable behavioural description of waveform signal structures that is unambiguous and yet independent of any particular end item software radio architecture. The 2nd requirement is that the behavioural specification provides a path to automatic code generation for GP’s, DSP’s, and FPFG’s and that the Generated code be tested against the behavioural model.

Abstract:
This chapter examines the workings of extended, Web-oriented communications commodity chains. It begins with a discussion of networks and access devices—an expansive, malleable infrastructure comprised of service, software, and applications powered by other intermediaries, vendors of everything from operating systems, browsers, search engines, and social networks to program content. It then considers how recomposition continued at a frenzied pace across this great range throughout the digital depression, signifying capital's scramble to open and to occupy high-profit boxes. It also explores the ways in which network infrastructures impacted a century-old manufacturing base and describes the apparently neutral technical feature of the emerging system's network engineering that attested to the changes that characterized the transition to the Internet. The chapter concludes with an assessment of the erosion of social responsibility around networks and how telecommunications liberalization induced a growing potential for market turmoil.

This chapter introduces an object-oriented methodology for Geographical Information Systems (GIS) development. It argues that a COTS-based development methodology combined with the UML, can be extended to support the spatiotemporal peculiarities that characterize GIS applications. The author hopes that by typifying both enterprises and developments, and, with a thorough knowledge of the software component granularity in the GIS domain, it will be possible to extend and adapt the proposed COTS-based methodologies to cover the full lifecycle. Moreover, some recommendations are outlined to translate the methodology to the commercial iCASE Rational Suite Enterprise and its relationships with tool kits proposed by some GIS COTS vendors.

Abstract:
Following the recent changes in the global business environment, many organizations are reevaluating their approach to delivering enterprise applications and are looking for more effective ways to control IT costs. There is growing evidence of reluctance to fund large-scale implementation projects, and of tighter budgets forcing more careful cost-benefit analysis to justify IT investments. It is becoming increasingly clear that the traditional model for delivering enterprise applications that involves the implementation of licensed software such as ERP (enterprise resource planning) applications within end-user organizations is not suited to the fast-evolving business world of the 21st century. Almost invariably, situations in which organizations own and maintain their entire IT infrastructure lead to very high costs of ownership, and consequently high levels of IT spending, which can detract from the core business in which the organization is engaged. This has led to a situation in which some businesses doubt the benefits of IT (Carr, 2003), and some observers even contend that productivity improvements, once assumed to be the result of IT, are more likely to be the results of other factors such as longer working hours (Nevens, 2002). This backlash that followed the IT boom at the end of the last century has forced software vendors to seek more cost-effective models for the delivery of enterprise applications, and has led to the reemergence of the ASP (application service provider) model as an alternative to licensed software. Today, the ASP model (or software-as-a-service model) is a part of a more general trend toward utility computing, where the service provider delivers highly scalable application services to a large population of end-user organizations in a reliable and cost-effective manner, typically from a remote data center. Utility computing aims to supply application services on demand, similar to other utility services (e.g., gas or electricity), and relies on new technologies and architectures that enable the virtualization and sharing of resources across a large number of users in order to minimize costs and maximize utilization. The use of advanced service-oriented architectures (SOAs), grid computing, cluster technologies, and failure-resistant configurations enable the delivery of highly scalable application services in a reliable manner to a large population of users. These technological advances distinguish utility computing from the earlier ASP and outsourcing models, and will ultimately result in significant reduction in the costs of enterprise software solutions and wide adoption of the software-as-a-service model. Major IT vendors including IBM, Microsoft, Sun, Oracle, and HP are promoting utility computing, albeit under different names (e.g., on-demand computing, etc.), and are investing vast resources into the construction of data centers and related facilities (Abbas, 2003). Others, such as Salesforce.com, have been successful with providing hosted services for CRM (customer-relationship management) and other related types of applications, validating the ASP model and further confirming the trend toward utility computing. As the enterprise application software market matures, major ERP vendors are changing their revenue model to decrease their reliance on new software licenses toward income generated from software-license upgrades and product support (Karpecki, 2004; Levy, 2004). This change combined with the fact that most organizations spend as much as 80% of software-related costs on software maintenance and related activities (Haber, 2004) creates a situation in which licensed software is de facto rented. It is precisely this high level of ongoing costs that motivate many organizations toward alternatives such as outsourcing and the ASP model. In this article we first examine the business drivers for the ASP model and contrast the software-as-a-service model with the traditional software-as-a-license approach. We then discuss future enterprise computing trends, focusing on the reemergence of the ASP model for enterprise applications and the likely impact of the wide adoption of this model on the IT landscape. In conclusion, we summarize the main arguments in this article.

Abstract:
Organizations with unique characteristics and transaction processing requirements, such as government agencies, often satisfy these requirements by (a) acquiring software from vendors who have developed applications for that particular type of organization, or (b) developing software internally from scratch. When either of these approaches is taken, the development costs are spread over a relatively small number of organizations, and the resulting system can be very expensive. Also, due to the uniqueness of the application and the relatively small number of users, it may take a long time to identify and correct any processing errors. An alternative is to acquire general-purpose software that has been developed for a wide range of organizations, and to adapt it for the agency in which it will be installed. However, this alternative approach is frequently not undertaken because it is often believed that general-purpose software is unable to provide all of the information required by the organization. When the required information can be provided, though, general-purpose software can be less expensive and less time-consuming to implement.

Full text
Abstract:
Individual systems or groups of systems related to the safety and operational I&C, and Electrical Systems (ES) are gradually replaced in existing Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs) as part of modernization projects. Modernizations are usually scheduled over multiple years. Different automation platform generations and safety-related product families are deployed to progressively replace legacy systems. Typically, each of the new I&C platforms and products have their own set of engineering tools. One challenge for the modernization of installed systems is the safety and security approval of these heterogeneous systems by regulatory bodies. A NPP consists of systems manufactured by different vendors which target different application domains, like Category A according to IEC 61226 for a Reactor Protection System, Category C for some Control Room Data Processing Systems or non-classified for auxiliary systems. Thus, replacing a legacy system by introducing a new one might bring in unknown risks, especially when the new system has more complex interfaces, e.g. when replacing an analog system by a digital system. Moreover, considering the time and budget limitations, commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware and software are also involved in modernization projects. In contrast to specialized equipment, vulnerabilities for COTS are widespread. On the other hand, existing security measures/mitigations are also required to reflect the system’s changes, e.g. mitigations for known vulnerabilities of COTS systems. In order to make an overall and integrated safety analysis after a system change in the frame of a modernization project, it is necessary to jointly consider these I&C systems targeting different application domains, in addition to the physical aggregates, like sensors, pumps and valves that interact with the physical processes. The restrictive deployment of wireless technologies may also be modeled and analyzed. While wireless is not deployed by legacy systems, it is being covered by new nuclear IEC standards, as some utilities intend to simplify selected I&C maintenance procedures that involve temporary data collection. The key modeling concepts consider new developments in the critical infrastructure and industrial automation domain. With the integrated modeling approach, different disciplines can be addressed, like probabilistic and deterministic safety analyses, security assessments, need for testing and specialized trainings.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract The purpose of the installed Rod Pump Controller system was to demonstrate production optimization and OPEX reduction, with the aid of Machine Learning and AI based application that helped Operators and Petroleum Engineers better manage the wells. Another one was to help customer evaluate the "as-a-Service" payment model to operate the wells. Such payment models are becoming more relevant across the industry, where International or National Oil Companies allows technology vendors to manage the entire Electrical and Automation scope for wellhead monitoring and optimization. Several issues can develop with this application that can create costly repair situations. Traditionally these have been monitored by personnel visiting each unit on a prescribed basis to ensure they are still operating and then making adjustments during the visit. This makes it ideal for monitored control to ensure maximum liquid production and reduced operational costs. Production optimization for rod pumps is best accomplished by regulating the speed of the pumpjack as reservoir levels rise and fall, in order to gain maximum production without over pumping the well and damaging the equipment. Better management of motor speed can also provide power savings for the end user. Edge computing is the concept of pushing applications, data, and computing power away from centralized points to the logical extremes of a network. In the oil and gas field, this would be the rod pump well sites. Edge analytics is enabled through a combination of Machine Learning and Control Room/Cloud learning for model development. This approach takes advantage of the unlimited processing power and abundance of historical data available in the control/server room. The model is executed in real-time in the Edge minimizing lag and providing real-time feedback and insights to the operations and productions teams. As part of the project, it was able to demonstrate an end-to-end cyber secure architecture for the rod pump analytics application. The software platform, inclusive of the Edge gateway and the cloud solution, collected all generated dynacards from the RTU and predicted dynacard shape for every stroke. By doing so, the software provided real-time analytics of rod pump performance along with production and energy consumption parameters. Finally, the benefit of the solution are make better production optimization, cost reduction and improve production revenue/uptime, reduce well service down time. Hence all these things will reduce CO2 emission and drive sustainability strategy for customer.

Abstract:
Microcircuit manufacturers of Plastic Encapsulated Microcircuits (PEM’s) have made changes in epoxy molding compound materials and chemistry, which lower Glass Transition Temperature (Tg). PEM users in harsh environments have concerns if either the part in its application, or in evaluation or assembly, is used close to, or above, the Tg. Various Tg measurement techniques are available and discussed. Test results from one technique is reviewed. The implications of the Tg results on usage of these parts in space applications will be presented. Burn-in/ reliability test results of samples with low Tg PEM’s will be presented. The reliability experiments include testing under different temperatures. The issue being addressed is whether outgassing of molding compounds occurs when the temperature of the molding compound exceeds the Tg. This is a caution noted by many vendors. As an example outgassing of flame retardants can degrade parametric performance and wire bond integrity. This would be the case when PEMS are being qualified for Space applications using burn-in or in storage environments. JPL’s past experience has shown that COTS PEMS parametrics can degrade significantly even when the burn-in temperature is well below the Tg. Two different microcircuits exhibiting low Tg were evaluated. Assessment of final electrical test measurements and yield are shown.

Abstract:
Abstract The Drive for Digital Transformation Today's Energy Industry has a multitude of challenges – from ensuring that existing assets are used to their maximum potential to incorporating new ways of working and New Energy sources whilst adapting to and adopting constantly changing regulatory and environmental regulatory concerns. This is on top of the traditionally strong concerns of operating at scale, safety and the use (and reuse) of assets that have been established over a significant period of time. This is in the midst of a transformation happening across all of industry. The new industrial revolution in data, analytics and AI has meant that there is both significant opportunities and pressure to address these challenges and concerns using new and novel, tools, technologies and techniques. From a company perspective this means that there may be a focus within these new areas to attempt to deliver increased efficiency, new information or increased value. However, underpinning this there must be a focus on ensuring that foundational capabilities are in place to provide the safe, reliable and agile environment in which this digital transformation can occur. There are a number of ways of thinking about data and its use within an organisation that may make the goals and expectations of a digital transformation programme more achievable. This is both based on emerging and established best practises for using data within the IT development community, which focus on how data must be protected and developed as a valuable and, crucially, usable asset within a company. Within systems projects there is also the approach of reusing proven, field tested systems and components (COTS). Through the reuse of these Energy Industry building blocks, operators can focus instead on more company-specific value-adding digitalisation activities and attempt to move up this value chain by looking towards efforts that enable innovation or provide competitive advantage instead of duplicating effort where there exists coordination (or a de facto standard) across the industry. The OSDU Data Platform cross Energy Industry collaborative initiative to deliver foundational data capabilities and also the provision of common data definitions, ways of working and common functionality on top that data for multiple disparate domains in the industry. This will allow operators, system integrators, independent software vendors, and application developers to work with data in a consistent manner and give this ecosystem the ability to build value adding tools, platforms and apps against. The OSDU Data Platform can therefore deliver key capabilities within a digital transformation roadmap and allow operators to focus on differentiating capabilities. This paper explains, from a high level, how the OSDU Data Platform can be used in conjunction with IT best practices to accelerate digital transformation.

Abstract:
A new, commercially available, field-portable water sensor was evaluated for efficacy during operation and compatibility with current Environmental Toolkit for Expeditionary Operations (ETEO) software. The ETEO provides sensors to Soldiers to rapidly identify and quantify environmental contamination in soil, air, and water at potential new base sites during initial reconnaissance to ensure safety and minimize unnecessary remediation efforts by the Army. In addition to streamlined environmental baseline survey (EBS) reporting, the ETEO can provide rapid analysis of potential environmental contamination to support various Military applications. The Hanna Instruments HI9829 multiparameter water meter was selected following a survey of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) technologies and analyzed by researchers from the US Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) for inclusion in the ETEO design since it can rapidly and accurately measure 14 different properties. Usability tests were conducted with researchers unfamiliar with the technology, and a set of standard operating procedures (SOPs) were developed to operate the device. The software for the tool was successfully integrated into the ETEO system for rapid data analysis. The HI9829 has been demonstrated in various scenarios at ERDC and other locations; including Ft. Leonard Wood, MO, at which several visitors reviewed the operation of the equipment and other ETEO technologies. The Thermo Scientific Gemini, another sensor, which can detect organic constituents in various matrices via Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy was also investigated but eliminated from the ETEO design as it could not adequately detect a Military-relevant compound in an environmental matrix. Regardless, the addition of the HI9829 provides water quality monitoring to the ETEO design and greatly improves its capability to address various applications.
