The virtual organization is a form where only what is used has tobe paid for. It has the capability of the real organization, butdoes not itself have the tangible facilities and permanentemployees that is the traditional way of meeting the requirementsof customer. It is a concept which gives flexibility, lower overallcost, and reduces the capital needs of a business. It is equallyapplicable to new and established businesses, and can provide bothwith a means of achieving success in business development andrenewal.Like others in this series, this book provides a practical guidefor managers and entrepreneurs. It shows how those with vision andenergy, who do not have the facilities of a large traditionalcompany, can nevertheless achieve success, with no competitivedisadvantages. The book shows how to expand and grow withoutenlarging the organization, and how to gain access to competenceswithout employing more staff.Well illustrated with case histories and examples, the bookreflects the experience of the authors in actually applying theconcepts they write about. Checklists and questionnaires areprovided where they are helpful. Practical experience is supportedby research, and the result is a practical guide to setting up andmanaging this new form of organization.'Bo Hedberg is again out in front and leading us into the future ofmanagement. Managerial insight and advanced technology are makingit possible to create coalitions with the advantages of bothmarkets and hierarchical organizations.

The areas of active and real-time databases have seen a growth of interst in the past few years, particularly with regard to their support of time-critical and embedded applications. ARTDB-95 provided, therefore, a forum for researchers from both communities to discuss research results. These conference proceedings cover the following topics: the impact of active databases on commercial practice; the optimization of active database transactions; the need for better language, compiler and tool support for real-time databases; and the origin of time constraints associated with data, events and actions.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Active, Real-Time, and Temporal Database Systems, ARTDB'97, held in Como, Italy in September 1997. The nine revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 17 submissions. Also included are an introductory survey chapter and three invited papers written by prominent researchers in the field, as well as two summaries of the panel discussions held at the workshop. The papers are devoted to the issue of building database systems supporting reactive behaviour, while enforcing timeliness and predictability.

Blodet i Sjödins ådror frös till is. Han såg verkligen en svartklädd människa. Med ett riktigt vapen. Längre kom Sjödin inte innan vapnet i den mörka personens hand hostade till två gånger. Så tätt att det var svårt att åtskilja skotten. Båda projektilerna slog rakt in i bröstet och Sjödins tidigare så starka ben blev som nykokt spagetti. De vek sig under honom samtidigt som överkroppen ryckte till i spasmer av projektilernas anslag. Han dråsade kraftlös bakåt. Ögonen tittade tomt upp mot natthimlen, men kunde inte längre blinka bort de snökristaller som landat på hornhinnorna. Alla i plutonen hörde det. Soldaterna tittade på varandra och därefter mot Conny. De var uppskrämda och villrådiga. Detta var en situation de aldrig varit i närheten av. Nästan obegriplig. Var det verkligen riktiga skott de hört? Skarpa skott? Dödande skott? ”Helvete”, tänkte Conny innan hans professionella hjärna började arbeta. - Det är nyår 1979 - 1980. Sovjetunionen invaderar överraskande det fattiga grannlandet Afghanistan. Man har redan övat sina styrkor genom att brutalt slå ner ett uppror i staden Herat. Inför invasionen lurar de ryska ledarna hela världen. Under en täckmantel av nedrustning i Europa genomförs den största truppsammandragningen sedan andra världskriget. För löjtnant Conny Hillblaster och hans beredskapspluton på Smålands regemente bryts vardagslunken dramatiskt. De blir indragna i ett militärpolitiskt spel på liv och död i de svenska skogarna. Tillgång till svensk teknologi är hett eftertraktad och måste till varje pris förhindras av olika parter i konflikten. - ”En glädje att läsa. Han har lyckas väva in storpolitik med bra faktabas och göra trovärdiga slutsatser”, generalmajor Karl Engelbrektsson. “Många svenskar kommer känna igen sig. De som gjort lumpen ellr utlandstjänst. Författaren har detaljkunskap och har vävt in världshändelser som krävt noggrann research”, Silver Fox
