Virtual network

The only other component is a rudimentary program for the switch, i.e., the virtual network component, which is described below. [Pg.104]

The World Wide Web is not the same of the Internet, but a later development of it, and within it. The www in the http address http //www.ebi.ac.uk for the same institution is an indication that it is set up for participating in the World Wide Web, the significance of which will now be described however, most websites are similarly set up for such participation even if they do not include www. URLs can be invoked automatically based on what the user wants to know. The Internet today is not only an actual network of computers with pages that you can get to by entering a specific address, but also has a virtual network of knowledge inside it, independent of where the physical machines... [Pg.115]

But, such an extensive virtual network has not yet developed in the forming polymer and chain growth dominates shear-induced chain cleavage, eventually producing a much higher viscosity polymer melt. [Pg.468]

We feel it likely that both of the above factors, trace moisture and virtual networks, are involved as suggested in the foregoing incongruous polymer melt viscosity phenomena. [Pg.468]

Segmented polyether polyurethanes are widely studied biomaterials that can be conceptualized (1-3) as a virtual network in which the continuous phase contains the polyether chain molecules. These chain molecules are tied at their ends to the molecular, species (diisocyanate, diamine) which serve as junctions by associating into clusters. These clusters of high melting point form the hard-segment phase and are dispersed in the continuous polyether phase. [Pg.100]

The key elements that form the virtual network in terms of supply chain management are suppliers, who actually perform, provide/sell, and deliver the product/ service in demand intermediaries, who own the supplier/customer relationship and knowledge and customers, who directly purchase and acquire the product/service. Their roles tend to change as a supplier or an intermediary in a given business relationship may play the role of a customer in another one. Not all suppliers and business partners are alike. Some suppliers provide materials that are used in production, while others provide indirect goods (Manthou et al. 2004). [Pg.83]

This category refers to the enormous social fomms that have been built in recent years. Online social fomms exist in a variety of guises, but primarily serve to facilitate some form of social networking. In some social spaces, contributors are expected to upload personal information including text, pictures, sounds and videos. This information is then brought into the same virtual networked space as the... [Pg.70]

A virtual network is formed for a specific project, and replaced by another network for a new project. In the garment industry, a project typically implies the production and delivery of a fashion line of clothing for the following year. The required processes may need an assortment of competencies. Therefore, the focal company lines up suppliers, who collaborate to deliver the project. When a new design of clothing (a new project) must be produced, it may require formation of a significantly different network. As production must be coimnitted to almost a year in advance, the market must remain relatively stable for the year. In addition, in a project mode, all suppliers need to be on the same page. Hence they must be aware... [Pg.94]

The hollow network becomes relevant in a highly volatile market, where the networked companies possess limited capabilities. They use other suppliers to perform functions in response to individual transactions. The network is similar to a virtual network, except that it is difficult to develop collaboration among suppliers. This is common in the software industry where technical specialists are contracted to perform structured tasks for limited durations. Cravens et al. (1996) discuss the case of The Registry Inc. It maintains a database of 50,000 technical specialists who can be used on a contract basis. [Pg.95]
