Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Study of Knowledge Management Process Practices in Very Small Software CompaniesShuib Basri, Rory V. O’ConnorProblem statement: Software development is distinct from other types of engineering because the product is intangible, progress is not explicit and team members rely on the documentation of others to review progress. In addition, there are no standard processes, which make it difficult to predict which process will cause development problems. The discourse of knowledge management is becoming more evident … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 6 Mar 2012 · 8,199 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMobility and Density Aware AODV Protocol Extension for Mobile Adhoc Networks-MADA-AODVS. Deepa, G.M. Kadhar NawazProblem statement: In this study, we proposed a method to improve the performance of AODV by reducing overhead by adopting a route message propagation mechanism. According to the new scheme, a node will be selected to forward a routing request message if and only if a condition based on its mobility (speed) and number of neighbors is satisfied. If the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 26 Oct 2011 · 7,288 accessesView PDFCite
