important to analyse hindrances that slow or even prevent the growth, communication and use of knowledge. This treatise
hypothesises that the differences in interpretations of some basic epistemological, ontological and didactic concepts significantly
contribute to the ambiguities and other impediments in knowledge processing. Examples of such misconceptions are presented
and a mitigation strategy discussed. Interaction between computerised media and humans such as the rise of the open sources of
knowledge and the participatory Web uncover new gates for cross-disciplinary sharing and application of knowledge.

It focuses on minimizing materials, energy, emissions and the end-of-life waste produced in relation to the use of any manufactured good. The holistic management of a suite of services for the customer, of which the products form a part, differentiates the S-PSS approach from conventional leasing and renting. This paper develops a framework for guidelines that may assist organisations, both clients and service providers, in moving towards implementation of S-PSS in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) industries. The paper discusses the role of products and services in making a switch from buy-own methods of procurement to product service systems for both economic and environmental benefits. It further outlines some changes of management principles that may assist this switch, not only in ICT but also with possible extension to other industries. A number of considerations ...

By using fuzzy set theory, the formulation of upgradeability model is focused on representing and measuring the effects
