Abstract
The first practical video conferencing systems were introduced at the Fourth World Telecommunications Forum held in Geneva in 1983 [Eva95], but their use is still rare. By comparison, the personal computer, introduce about the same time, is now a commodity sold by the millions.That is surprising, considering the cost and time savings associated with teleconferencing and the economy of scale achievable by teleteaching.This paper presents the position that lack of quantity and quality in the transmission process are responsible for the low success.

Minimum concave cost production system: A further generalization of multi-echelon model
We will consider a concave minimization problem associated with a series production system in which raw material is processed inm consecutive facilities. The products at some facility are either sent to the next facility or stocked in the warehouse. The ...
98%-Effective Lot-Sizing for One-Warehouse, Multi-Retailer Inventory Systems with Backlogging
Robin Roundy has analyzed a stationary, one-warehouse, N-retailer inventory system that permits no shortages or backlogging, that has a constant demand rate per unit time at each retailer, and that incurs setup and unit storage costs at each facility. ...
