DEMs can be acquired using topographic maps or remote-sensing technologies, such as photogrammetry or lidar. Depending on the acquisition technique, different spatial resolutions and qualities are achieved. However, there is a lack of studies that investigate the sensitivity of snow avalanche simulation algorithms to the quality and resolution of DEMs. Here, we perform calculations using the numerical avalance dynamics model RAMMS, varying the quality and spatial resolution of the underlying DEMs, while holding the simulation parameters constant. We study both channelized and open-terrain avalanche tracks with variable roughness. To quantify the variance of these simulations, we use well-documented large-scale avalanche events from Davos, Switzerland (winter 2007/08), and from our large-scale avalanche test site, Valĺee de la Sionne (winter 2005/06). We find that the DEM resolution and quality is critical for modeled flow paths, run-out distances, deposits, velocities and impact pressures. Although a spatial resolution of ~25 m is sufficient for large-scale avalanche modeling, the DEM datasets must be checked carefully for anomalies and artifacts before using them for dynamics calculations.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{CzarneckiWinkelmannSpiliopoulou2011, author = {Czarnecki, Christian and Winkelmann, Axel and Spiliopoulou, Myra}, title = {Making business systems in the telecommunication industry more customer-oriented}, series = {Information Systems Development : Business Systems and Services: Modeling and Development}, booktitle = {Information Systems Development : Business Systems and Services: Modeling and Development}, editor = {Pokorny, Jaroslav and Repa, Vaclav and Richta, Karel and Wojtkowski, Wita and Linger, Henry and Barry, Chris and Lang, Michael}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {New York}, isbn = {978-1-4419-9645-9 (Print)}, doi = {10.1007/978-1-4419-9790-6_14}, pages = {169 -- 180}, year = {2011}, abstract = {Market changes have forced telecommunication companies to transform their business. Increased competition, short innovation cycles, changed usage patterns, increased customer expectations and cost reduction are the main drivers. Our objective is to analyze to what extend transformation projects have improved the orientation towards the end-customers. Therefore, we selected 38 real-life case studies that are dealing with customer orientation. Our analysis is based on a telecommunication-specific framework that aligns strategy, business processes and information systems. The result of our analysis shows the following: transformation projects that aim to improve the customer orientation are combined with clear goals on costs and revenue of the enterprise. These projects are usually directly linked to the customer touch points, but also to the development and provisioning of products. Furthermore, the analysis shows that customer orientation is not the sole trigger for transformation. There is no one-fits-all solution; rather, improved customer orientation needs aligned changes of business processes as well as information systems related to different parts of the company.}, language = {en} }
