Huge scale machine learning problems are nowadays tackled by distributed optimization algorithms, i.e. algorithms that leverage the compute power of many devices for training. The communication overhead is a key bottleneck that hinders perfect scalability. ...
The paper adds to the literature on the barriers to innovation in two ways. First, we assess comparatively what mostly constrains firms' ability to translate investment in innovation activity into new products and processes, whether it is mainly finance, a ...
Hybrid organizations are an increasing phenomenon in pluralistic environments of modern societies. As this phenomenon grows, it has become more and more common that hybrids and non-hybrids compete and interact in the same market. This paper aims at investi ...
Sharing and redistributing assets between individuals has become a noticeable part of the economy. Ownership is no longer the sole mode of consumption and consumers have the option of choosing between ownership and access-based consumption. This change in ...
This paper examines a stochastic formulation of the generalized Nash equilibrium problem where agents are subject to randomness in the environment of unknown statistical distribution. We focus on fully distributed online learning by agents and employ penal ...
In this paper we analyse transition towards circular economy as a complex adaptive system focusing on the market and behavioural barriers. We investigate the conditions for successful introduction of a new production which is appropriate for a circular eco ...

During the last twenty years we have witnessed the steady rise in academic research and practitioner interest and inquiry on the topic of business models. The topic is still in its infancy, and thus a lot of literature hitherto has focused on the basics: d ...
Physical computing, and robotics in particular, is an excellent tool which can be used to help students understand many aspects of Engineering and Computer Science. However, obtaining and using suitable kits or hardware can involve significant financial ou ...
