Qualitative decision making with integrated systems design methodology: A case study

Curr. Opin. Creat. Innov. Entrepreneurship

2012

Digital convergence has reshaped a gamut of industry demographics in the 21C, comprised of cloud computing, healthcare, pharmaceutical, consumer supplies, government, defense, manufacturing, entertainment, and even on-line education, among many others. At the center of the web-convergence lies the problem of network bandwidth limitation. Traditionally, research has focused on two major resolution strategies in parallel: data compression to minimize the network traffic (i.e. algorithmic; software) and alternative conduit for data transfer such as wireless (i.e. infrastructural; hardware).Building a network infrastructure is extremely costly. In addition, maintenance and upgrade costs may be prohibitive, given the U.S. consumer demographics. To this end, the emphasis is placed on seeking existing infrastructure which connects business and residential entities.The objective of this research, therefore, is to seek the possibility and feasibility of (digital) data transfers via the extensive water and/or sewer network(s), while minimizing structural modifications to the existing infrastructure. To date, sonar has been proven to be effective. If successful, the value of this intellectual property may be immeasurable.

Third-Generation Display Technology: Nominally Transparent Material

Journal of Technology Management & Innovation

2010

Display technology is reshaping the consumer, business, government, and even not-for-profit markets in the midst of the digital convergence, coupled with recent smart phones led by Apple, Inc.First-Generation (1G) display technology was dominated by the Cathode Ray Tubes, followed by Liquid Crystal Display and Plasma in 2G. A radically innovative shift as a disruptive technology is expected to follow in 3G to utilize virtually any transparent material, which wirelessly connects to portable access points. This paper studies the feasibility of the 3G Display Technology (DT) with Technology S-Curves, and presents possible business models and technology strategies which may be generated from it. Additional subsets of business models may be derived for a wide range of industry applications.

“…By far, according to them, the design of a network at the outset of its construction outperforms any known mechanism or method for managing a fault-tolerant network. A comprehensive design method, such as the Integrated Systems Design Methodology (ISDM), developed by Willow (2007b) may be employed. Further, the ISDM may be applied to a wide array of problems associated with Information Systems and Technology (IST), as described in Willow (2007a).…”

Next-Generation Strategic Business Model for the U.S. Internet Service Providers

The (information digital) network bandwidth and its usage through Internet subscription, by far, is perhaps the only uni-modal commodity provided to today's consumers at a flat rate. Regardless of his/her actual bandwidth usage, a consumer is charged a uniform subscription fee by the Internet Service Providers (ISP). Meanwhile, the ISPs have a considerable stake in the overall infrastructure which supports the local perimeters of the Internet. This article presents a rigorous statistical analysis with the objective of determining the optimal billing or pricing policy for the ISPs of the U.S. on the basis of the proposed 'variable subscription-rate' business model. Two leading global consumer profiles were selected for data comparison on a cardinal scale; NYC,
