These models, however, can be useful if estimates are to be made of operating costs. By assigning fixed and variable costs to each activity, average and marginal unit costs at each stage of the process can be easily calculated, which will assist in decisions regarding pricing policies or whether to buy in components and materials or make them on site. ATPLAN is an example of a network-based model of this type.

EURACHEM is a network of organizations in Europe, having the objective of establishing a system for the international traceability of chemical measurements and the promotion of good quality practices. It provides a forum for the discussion of common problems and for developing an informed and considered approach to both technical and policy issues. 

Many policies and practices have been adopted by European countries for the management of contaminated sites. Information about the various national polices, the technical approaches for risk assessment, and the progress of rehabilitation activities in Europe has been compiled in the framework of two European networks—CARACS (Concerted Action for Risk Assessment for Contaminated Sites) and CLARINET (Contaminated Land Rehabilitation Network for Environmental Technologies)—which were funded by the European Commission. A detailed description of European national policies can be found in relevant publications2 3 and in the CLARINET website (http //www.clarinet.at).

The beginning of the possible market introduction of hydrogen passenger cars in the most optimistic scenarios is around 2015, which is also in line with the implementation plan of the European Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology Platform (HFP, 2007). The Reference scenario features high policy support, fast learning, concentrated users, early network and no country-specific bounds. 

The President s Critical Infrastructure Protection Board and the Department of Energy (DOE) have developed the steps outlined below to help organizations improve the security of their SCADA networks. DOE (2001) points out that these steps are not meant to be prescriptive or all-inclusive. However, they do address essential actions to be taken to improve the protection of SCADA networks. The steps are divided into two categories specific actions to improve implementation, and actions to establish essential underlying management processes and policies. 

One of the key choices Singapore Technologies made was to fund three different entities deliberately designed to be different from one another demographically, so that each would tap into a different social network. Each club was allowed to establish its own policies and was not asked to coordinate with the others, to promote diverse approaches. Incubators Work chose to take a minority stake in ventures that would be incubated outside the parent, but it could have selected different policies had it wished. Its purpose was to...
