A move to a VOD-intensive ecosystem also opens up opportunities for non-traditional broadcasters, performers with large followings (singers, comedians, YouTube stars) who'll be able to light up their own VOD channels and bring in viewers via their social media channels.
Robots are poised to be crucial arbiters of the new, machine-intensive ecosystem of sensors, interfaces and actuators that we are building up all around us at home and in the workplace.
The proposes the use of a multisided matrix to represent the variety of forms of dynamic alignment demanded, and describes an extension to the architecture tradeoff analysis method as a means of discovering the risks inherent in architectural decisions made to support a software-intensive ecosystem.
Software-intensive ecosystems include large numbers of independent software-intensive and human agents interacting with and responding to each other's demands in ways that are not amenable to traditional "closed-world" assumptions.
Finally, we will show how these foundations, and the techniques that instantiate them, can be re-combined for new purposes addressing problems of ever-increasing scale, specifically: addressing the highly complex problems of analyzing software-intensive ecosystems.
Within intensive agro-ecosystems, narrow strips between crops are important links for voles between wider margins and, if available, other more suitable habitats.
Globally many freshwater ecosystems are degraded because of intensive human activities, so water ecosystem restoration is a burning issue worldwide.
This study aimed to determine which ecological engineering techniques are the most suitable for large-scale restoration of a low-productive species-rich ecosystem after intensive cultivation.
However, the use of physical or chemical methods of the production of nanoparticles is expensive, labour intensive and hazardous to ecosystem.
A recent study showed that the bacterial fraction of the gastrointestinal microbiota of the postinfectious irritable bowel syndrome patients have a distinct composition relative to controls, which most likely reflects a consequence of an intensive interaction between the ecosystem and the infectious agent (Jalanka-Tuovinen et al., 2013).
Urban development typically has extensive and intensive effects on native ecosystems, including vegetation communities and their associated biota.
