Enhancement of Cloud-native applications with Autonomic Features

The Autonomic Computing paradigm reduces complexity in installing, configuring, optimizing, and maintaining heterogeneous systems. Despite first discussing it a long ago, it is still a top research challenge, especially in the context of other technologies. It is necessary to provide autonomic features to the Cloud-native execution environment to meet the rapidly changing demands without human support and continuous improvement of their capabilities. The present work attempts to answer how to explore autonomic features in Cloud-native environments. As a solution, we propose using the AMoCNA framework. It is rooted in Autonomic Computing. The success factors for the AMoCNA implementation are its execution controllers. They drive the management actions proceeding in a Cloud-native execution environment. A similar concept already exists in Kubernetes, so we compare both execution mechanisms. This research presents guidelines for including autonomic features in Cloud-native environments. The integration of Cloud-native Applications with AMoCNA leads to facilitating autonomic management. To show the potential of our concept, we evaluated it. The developed executor performs cluster autoscaling and ensures autonomic management in the infrastructure layer. The experiment also proved the importance of observations. The knowledge gained in this process is a good authority of information about past and current state of Cloud-native Applications. Combining this knowledge with defined executors provides an effective means of achieving the autonomic nature of Cloud-native applications.

Success factors in off-grid energy auctions: A comparative analysis of selected cases from low- and middle-income countries

Renewable energies are a key to reducing carbon emissions and enabling access to affordable energy for rural populations in many low- and middle-income countries. For this reason, many governments have started to introduce auctions for off-grid renewable energy. Despite their relevance for clean, accessible energy, the factors for successful or failed off-grid renewable energy tenders have not been broadly studied yet. This paper investigates the success factors for the successful implementation of off-grid energy auctions to enhance rural energy access in low- and middle-income countries. For the scope of this research, the off-grid energy tenders are considered successful if they lead to cost-efficient outcomes, have a high implementation rate and improve the equality of access to energy. Using success measures and success factors from the state of knowledge on energy auctions, three real-world cases from Peru, Uganda and Senegal are analysed and compared. The investigations show that auctioneers should strike a balance between 1) economies of scale and streamlining administrative procedures, 2) allowing adequate product designs for a diverse group of beneficiaries and 3) attracting enough bidders in this relatively young sector. Moreover, this paper confirms that balancing the developers’ risks and public risks is essential in designing off-grid energy tenders and that there are several ways to do this. Furthermore, the advantages and limitations of different support payment types are illustrated. Finally, regarding governance, the real-world cases in this research underscore the importance of clarity about responsibilities and procedures, without which significant delays can be incurred.

Critical Success Factors for Building Information Modeling Implementation as a Sustainable Construction Practice in the UAE

The building sector is widely acknowledged as a driving force behind national prosperity. However, there are considerable challenges to the construction industry’s transition to sustainable practices, including regarding building information modelling (BIM) technologies. The United Arab Emirates has made significant progress in the Middle East in adopting BIM technologies. Green building approaches have been advanced through their incorporation into environmentally conscious building practices, with a large body of literature responding to this issue. Several projects in the United Arab Emirates have, however, made use of the complementary nature of BIM and UAE sustainable policies. However, not everybody has employed the full potential of BIM implementation in sustainable construction. This paper aims to identify and prioritize the critical success factors (CSFs) for effective BIM implementation as a sustainable construction practice in the UAE and examine their ranking and relationships. A list of critical success factors was gathered from a review of previous literature to identify the essential factors for successful implementation. A standardized questionnaire was distributed to consulting organizations and engineering enterprises to verify the existence of these CSFs and measure their importance in the context of the UAE’s construction industry. The survey data was analyzed using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) technique to elaborate and validate the results, which was specifically applicable to the needs of this study. The results from the AHP analysis show that the social aspects were ranked as the highest critical success factor compared to the other criteria, namely economic, environmental, and information technology. Within this criterion, it was found that effective communication among stakeholders is the most important element, as subject matter experts feel that it is imperative to have buy-in from all or most of the construction project stakeholders to achieve the strategic goal of implementing BIM. Equally anticipated are both an effective corporate framework to back up the BIM system and government funding to build the BIM system.

Ranking critical success factors for implementation of lean-industry 4.0: a methodology based on DEMATEL and ANP

ABSTRACT Many firms have been performing a variety of organizational reforms to achieve long-term manufacturing sustainability. Industry 4.0 (I4.0) and Lean techniques have attracted much attention in this context. Although the potential benefits of implementing Lean and I4.0 in an integrated manner (Lean-I4.0) have been recognized, the studies addressing the practical issues for their integrated implementation, in particular the factors affecting the successful implementation, are missing. Therefore, this study is to determine the critical success factors (CSFs) that will enable the manufacturing industry in India to successfully implement the Lean-I4.0, thus obtaining manufacturing sustainability. The CSFs identified through a literature review were first validated by industrial experts. The Decision-Making Trail and Evaluation Laboratory technique was subsequently adopted to analyze the interdependence of the factors and classify them as either cause or effect. Finally, the Analytical Network Process technique in SuperDecisions was employed to rank the factors considering their interdependence scores. The results stress that i) the maturity of I4.0 and its relationship with lean and ii) the skill level and experience of workers are very important in the successful implementation of the Lean-I4.0. Besides, the study highlights that all the factors affect, at varying degrees, the successful implementation of the Lean-I4.0.
