Top Research Papers on Library Management System

Recommender systems aim at providing users with a list of recommendations of items that a service offers, for example, a video streaming service will typically rely on a recommender system to propose a personalized list of movies or series to each of its users.

ESs are a useable intelligent system in library and information science that mimic librarian expert’s behaviors to support decision making and management and the current information systems have a high potential to be improved by integration with AI technologies.

The aim of this presentation is to clarify the role of systems engineering in the decision-making process and provide a framework for future generations of engineers to consider their own roles in the system.

Abstract China’s economic model involves regular and intensive government interventions in financial markets, while Western policymakers often refrain from substantial interventions outside crisis periods. We develop a theoretical framework to rationalize the approaches of both China and the West to managing the financial system as being optimal given the differences in their respective economies. In this framework, a government leans against trading of noise traders but at the expense of introducing policy noise to the market. Our welfare analysis shows that under certain underlying economic ...

Among central nervous system (CNS) metastases, brain metastasis accounts majority cases compare to intramedullary spinal cord metastases (ISCM), and stereotactic radiosurgery has added another dimension to the management of these lesions.

The paper recommended dynamism in library service delivery, urgency in the acquisition of new skill sets by academic librarians in Nigeria, while also calling on relevant stakeholders to provide adequate funding for libraries in order to be able to deploy relevant ICT infrastructures needed to adequately support teaching and learning in a virtual environment.

The results suggest that in outcome-driven business units, the implementation of SMA practices may not be limited to the accounting function and managers in other functions may be motivated to implement SMA Practices even when management accountants are not part of the process.

Vector databases typically manage large collections of embedding vectors. As AI applications are growing rapidly, the number of embeddings that need to be stored and indexed is increasing. The Faiss library is dedicated to vector similarity search, a core functionality of vector databases. Faiss is a toolkit of indexing methods and related primitives used to search, cluster, compress and transform vectors. This paper describes the trade-offs in vector search and the design principles of Faiss in terms of structure, approach to optimization and interfacing. We benchmark key features of the libr...

It is highlighted that blockchain’s structure and modern cloud- and edge-computing paradigms are crucial in enabling a widespread adaption and development of blockchain technologies for new players in today unprecedented vibrant global market.

Companies struggle to integrate sustainability into their corporate strategy and implement it in their business activities. To examine this issue, we develop an extended version of Gond et al.'s (2012) integration typology that considers all four of Simons's (1994, 1995) levers of control. We then present a longitudinal study of the efforts made by a multi-national industrial firm to align its management control system and sustainability control system in an integrated sustainability strategy. Our results provide three insights into control system integration for sustainability. First, intensi...

This paper describes some recent approaches developed by the authors towards developing a robust battery management system and consists of accurate characterization, robust estimation of battery states and parameters, and optimal battery control strategies.

The shift from manual condition surveys to automated pavement condition surveys has profusely improved data collection rate and the wide-range of data collection methods, manual, automated vehicles, and cost-effective methods followed across the globe were reviewed.

I have had various assignments during the past years, mostly concerned with the development of software packages for spacecraft mission planning, commanding and post-flight analysis, and I have become prejudiced by my experiences and is going to relate some of these prejudices in this presentation.

An exhaustive literature review and updated survey on maintenance of photovoltaic plants, and a novel analysis of the current state and a discussion of the future trends and challenges in this field are presented.

The resource management system is the central component of network computing systems. There have been many projects focused on network computing that have designed and implemented resource management systems with a variety of architectures and services. In this paper, we develop a comprehensive taxonomy for describing resource management architectures. We use this taxonomy in identifying approaches followed in the implementation of real resource management systems for large scale network computing systems known as Grids. We use the taxonomy and the survey results to identify architectural appr...

Abstract Management researchers rely frequently on theoretical perspectives originating in North American and European contexts. Given the influences context has on scholarship, the question becomes if using primarily Western theories provides researchers with the design insights needed to capture the robust context of the setting in which they conduct their studies. Herein, we seek to establish a foundation for developing fertile exchanges of ideas regarding contextualized management research. To do this, we examine some of the main theories in management studies through the heuristic lens of...

This article classifies the methodologies used for EMS based on the structure, control, and technique used and the untapped areas which have scope for investigation are also mentioned.

An in-depth review of existing blockchain-based identity management papers and patents published between May 2017 and January 2020 is provided, which identifies potential research gaps and opportunities that will hopefully help inform future research agenda.

A comprehensive review of MG elements, the different RE resources that comprise a hybrid system, and the various types of control, operating strategies, and goals in an EMS is presented.
