Just imagine the number of phone calls, chat sessions, text messages and self-help searches that will be necessary to reconcile consumers' configuration, activation, integration, backup, and security needs across this diverse network of devices by 2020.
This knowledge, combined with insights about the interrelationship between consumer microbiota configurations and biotransformation of food ingredients, should have a number of effects on agriculture, food production, and strategies for improving the nutritional value of foods and health status.
Consumers with such configurations do not experience a variable effective price: their electricity price is always constant and determined by the import price of their standard demand tariff.
The analysis was restricted to four predefined configurations: male consumers vs. male abstainers, female consumers vs. female abstainers, male abstainers vs. female abstainers, male consumers vs. female consumers.
In this part on advanced topics in configuration, we took a look at the issues of configuration knowledge engineering (testing and debugging and redundancy detection) and intelligent configurator user interfaces (personalized configuration and consumer decision-making).
These approaches include sociological practice theory, to shed new light on consumer practices in S.PSS configurations, and strategic niche management, to foster a suitable design and experimentation milieu.
The overall study examined the influence of tobacco package shape and size and product configuration on consumer perceptions of appeal and health risks for cigarettes and smokeless tobacco products (Bansal-Travers et al., unpublished).
Alternatively, the smart grid literature often imagines its publics, the consumers of immanent system configurations as homo economicus to be informed or educated through visualisations of energy consumption via smart meters.
Within this setting, it is also possible to allow a very general configuration of consumer locations, where firm i has a proportion of local consumers equal to a i, such that ∑ i = 1 n a i = 1.
There are plenty of questions here — such as how effective the tech will prove versus ad industry ingenuity; whether it will be enabled by default; and how much configuration consumers will be offered.
