The significance of remanufacturing used products has been widely recognized in literatures and in practice. In this paper, we put forward the idea of introducing Radio Frequency Identification technology (RFID for short) into the recycling activities of waste products, and assume that RFID would contribute to save recycling cost. Taking into account such elements as RFID technical level and the RFID...
Cloud computing provides software, platform, and infrastructure as a service that helps organizations to perform several resource intensive tasks. The services offered by a cloud service provider are limited by provider-specific options in terms of the pre-specified configurations. Moreover, it is sometimes expensive to pay a fixed amount of money without any format of negotiation or price-matching...

Process flexibility has been investigated in depth in the context of intra-organisational processes, but it is still an open issue when processes cross the boundaries of companies. In this paper, we address the modelling of flexible inter-organisational processes using a version-based approach. Indeed, versions are known to be a powerful technique to deal with variability, evolution and adaptation...
Although recent studies have investigated the impacts of energy storage on various aspects of power system operation and planning, its role in imperfect electricity markets has not been explored yet. This paper provides for the first time theoretical and quantitative evidence of the beneficial impact of energy storage in limiting market power by generation companies. Quantitative analysis is supported...
This paper proposes to install an additional distribution transformer to convert the open-wye/open-delta connection to wye/delta connection, anticipating mitigating the impact of a larger amount of PV systems connected to the distribution network. To validate the proposed scheme, various amounts and connections of PV systems are analyzed along with the examination of different scenarios. Simulation...
