Reliability, Survivability and Quality of Large Scale Telecommunication Systems: Case Study: Olympic Games

Reliability, Survivability and Quality of Large Scale Telecommunication Systems: Case Study: Olympic Games Review



Competition within the telecommunications companies is growing fiercer by the day. Therefore, it is vital to ensure a high level of quality and reliability within all telecommunications systems in order to guard against faults and the failure of components and network services. Within large scale systems such quality and reliability problems are ever higher.

The metrics of Quality and Reliability have to date only been available in journals and technical reports of companies which have designed or produced major parts of systems used in large applications. This book provides a self-contained treatment enabling the reader to be able to produce, define and utilise the metrics of Quality and Reliability required for the design and implementation of a large application such as a world class event as the Olympic Games. An additional outcome is that this book can be used as a guide for producing an ISO standard for large scale Systems such as the Olympic Games.
* Provides presentations of techniques used for solving quality and reliability problems in telecommunications networks replete with illustrations of their applications to real-world services and world class events
* Individual chapters written by respective international experts within their fields
This will prove highly informative for Practising engineers, researchers and telecommunications professionals, academics and graduate students in telecommunications, standards bodies and organisations such as ISO.

The influence of quality and price on the demand for urban transport: the case of university students [An article from: Transportation Research Part A]

The influence of quality and price on the demand for urban transport: the case of university students [An article from: Transportation Research Part A] Review



This digital document is a journal article from Transportation Research Part A, published by Elsevier in 2004. The article is delivered in HTML format and is available in your Amazon.com Media Library immediately after purchase. You can view it with any web browser.

Description:
The aim of this work is to estimate a transport demand function for university students in the Bilbao area and to obtain the main variables that condition this demand. To do this, we use a nested logit model. First, we estimate price and time elasticities, and second the potential effects of changing the available supply of public transport in order to draw new collective transport users away from private vehicles.

The effect of airline service quality on passengers' behavioural intentions: a Korean case study [An article from: Journal of Air Transport Management]

The effect of airline service quality on passengers' behavioural intentions: a Korean case study [An article from: Journal of Air Transport Management] Review



This digital document is a journal article from Journal of Air Transport Management, published by Elsevier in 2004. The article is delivered in HTML format and is available in your Amazon.com Media Library immediately after purchase. You can view it with any web browser.

Description:
This paper seeks to improving our understanding of air passengers' decision-making processes by testing a conceptual model that considers service expectation, service perception, service value, passenger satisfaction, airline image, and behavioural intentions simultaneously. For this testing, path analysis via maximum likelihood estimator is applied to data collected from Korean international air passengers. Service value, passenger satisfaction, and airline image are each found to have a direct effect on air passengers' decision-making processes.
