This new paradigm is gaining an expanding interest, since it provides cost efficient architectures that support the transmission, storage, and intensive computing of data.
New open access publishing models provide cost-efficient methods for disseminating research findings, eradicate excess profits by publishers and massively widen the readership of scholarly works.
In particular, a shift from typ- ical and expensive full-bisection bandwidth interconnects (which safely cover the worst communication cases) to application oriented designs (which may provide cost-efficient data movement at larger system scales) is devised in academic research and industry initiatives.
Clinical care models have been developed to provide cost-efficient, culturally appropriate care to low-income older patients (Coleman et al. 2006; Counsell et al. 2007).
The concept for ESolar came about as Idealab engineers started thinking about ways to provide cost-efficient solar energy for utilities and realized that most solar panels in commercial use were too big to be cost-efficient.
Flexible electronics have recently attracted much attention because of their potential in providing cost-efficient solutions to large-area applications, such as roll-up displays and TVs, e-paper, smart sensors, transparent radio frequency identifications and even wearable electronics26.
In addition to that, the newcomer concept of frugal innovation is moving towards a new business model by adapting local market requirements and providing cost-efficient and high customer-value solutions.
It has led the way in reducing avoidable harm to patients, with Seattle's Virginia Mason hospital delivering "near zero harm", something many systems, including England's, are seeking to emulate.What the NHS is good at is providing cost-efficient care.
WMNs [1],[2] are currently attracting a lot of attention from wireless research and technology community due to their importance as a means for providing cost-efficient broadband wireless connectivity.
