Atmospheric composition changes: Causes and processes involved - Chapter 1 in Belgian global change research 1990-2002: Assessment and Integration Report
Results of global change research activities realised between 1990 and 2002, supported by the Belgian Federal Science Policy Office (BELSPO), were subject to an assessment and integration in 2003 and 2004. This process focussed on a selection of scientific information, based on data provided by Belgian researchers, and resulted in two reports: - Belgian global change research 1990 – 2002 : Assessment and integration report - Belgian global change research 1990 – 2002 : Synthesis of the assessment and integration report This report is the extended assessment and integration report. The synthesis of this report is available in Dutch, English and French. Both reports emphasise the following four topics: - Atmospheric composition changes - Climate change - The role of the ocean in global change - Global change impacts on ecosystems
In the overall ownership cost of enterprise system, the maintenance cost consists of a major percentage. During the lifetime of an enterprise system, process customization is the most frequent maintenance efforts. However, current processing method has limited scalability and efficiency. In this case study, we explained how a scalable and efficient customization processing method was implemented. This method used the carbon emission trading mechanism to facilitate the cost benefit analysis of customization request. It also used distributed processing principle to improve the overall processing efficiency. Feedback from a pilot implementation in a large manufacturer included.
