Arko Djajadi, Ph.D and Edward Boris P Manurung, MEng VI The world economy of today is more integrated and interdependent than ever before. The fact that in many industries historically distinct and separate markets are merging into one global market leads towards an environment that offers more opportunities, but is also more complex and competitive than it used to be. One of the main factors that drive today’s economy is technology. If technology is defi ned as a practical application of knowledge and the aim is to become really competitive on the global market, there is a need for something more, thus a cutting edge practical application of knowledge would be necessary what the most advanced technology currently available is - high tech. If the classifi cation of high-tech sectors is taken into consideration, it can be noticed that the research activity takes place not only in the so-called high-tech societies such as the United States, Japan, Germany, etc., but also in other regions. This book is the result of widespread research and development activity, covering different fi elds of science. Chapters one to four offer an overview of the research results, covering the aspects of research and development activities in general. They deal with the necessary infrastructure and technologies for distributed knowledge acquisition, factors that determine the success or failure in NPD, methodologies that operationalize sustainable development, approaches of modelling the core factors which infl uence the operational competitiveness performance, i.e. manufacturing strategy and transformational leadership with technology level, etc. Chapters fi ve to nine discuss several approaches regarding the issues of production systems and product development, procedures for concurrent product and processes development, integration and comparing principles and characteristics of six sigma with Lean Manufacturing, Total Quality Management, Human Resources, Supply Chain Management, Inventory Issues, etc. Chapters ten to twenty-one discuss various aspects of the practical application of knowledge such as: • Mass customization • Nanotechnology • Environmental protection • Drilling fl uid technology • Raw material extraction technology • Virtual reality Preface • Spoken dialog system • Text to speech system • System architecture October 20, 2010 Editor Igor Fürstner Subotica Tech – College of Applied Sciences Subotica, Serbia X [...]... will be a number of enhancement tools and services including citations manager, content annotation, author matching, data enrichment, personalisation and user interface with accessibility features EuDML will use structured browse, index, storage, AA and citation services from the 12 Products and Services;
