  • empirical classification of resources in a business model concept
    Intangible Capital, 2009
    Co-Authors: Marko Seppanen
    Abstract:

    The concept of the business model has been designed for aiding exploitation of the business potential of an innovation. This exploitation inevitably involves new activities in the organisational context and generates a need to select and arrange the resources of the firm in these new activities. A business model encompasses those resources that a firm has access to and aids in a firm’s effort to create a superior ‘innovation capability’. Selecting and arranging resources to utilise innovations requires resource allocation decisions on multiple fronts as well as poses significant challenges for management of innovations. Although current business model conceptualisations elucidate resources, explicit considerations for the composition and the structures of the resource compositions have remained ambiguous. As a result, current business model conceptualisations fail in their core purpose in assisting the decision-making that must consider the resource allocation in exploiting business opportunities. This paper contributes to the existing discussion regarding the representation of resources as components in the business model concept. The categorized list of resources in business models is validated empirically, using two samples of managers in different positions in several industries. The results indicate that most of the theoretically derived resource items have their equivalents in the business language and concepts used by managers. Thus, the categorisation of the resource components enables further development of the business model concept as well as improves daily communication between managers and their subordinates. Future research could be targeted on linking these components of a business model with each other in order to gain a model to assess the performance of different business model configurations. Furthermore, different applications for the developed resource configuration may be envisioned.

  • ESWC - A Resource List Management Tool for Undergraduate Students Based on Linked Open Data Principles
    Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2009
    Co-Authors: Chris Clarke
    Abstract:

    Resource List Management tools help educators create and publish lists of resources relevant to students undertaking a particular module, course or assignment. Traditional approaches to online delivery of these lists have been limited by lack of interoperability and integration with other campus systems, poor take-up by instructors and brittle linking strategies which break as institutions shift suppliers for e-content from year to year. In this paper we present a Resource List Management tool that uses Semantic Web technologies and Linked Data principles to overcome these limitations and improve the interoperability of data contained within such systems.

  • On dynamic access control in Web 2.0 and beyond:
    Bell Labs Technical Journal, 2011
    Co-Authors: IgorLu Faynberg, Hui-lan Lu, Herbert Ristock
    Abstract:

    The Web in the Internet today-especially when it comes to the Internet of Things and cloud computing-is the Web of resources. A photo album, an appointment calendar, a telephone bill, a health record are all resource examples, listed here in the increasing order of expected privacy protection. A few properties of these resources define the roles of three major actors: The resources belong to their owner, they are hosted by the service provider, and they increasingly need to be shared (say, to support mash-up) with consumers. Owners authorize consumers' access to their resources, which providers then grant to the consumers upon authenticating them and checking for proper authorization. In the past, this was achieved by maintaining an access control list for each resource at the service provider. Typically, such a list specifies all consumers along with their privileges. Emerging trends in social networking and cloud computing require elasticity, or, in other words, the ability to grant resource access to new consumers on the fly. Naturally, this comes with ever-increasing requirements for privacy, which dictate strong authentication of all actors involved as well as cryptographic protection of the involved communication sessions. We share the industry expectation that the technology that solves the above problem will be a major enabler for applications based on technologies that range from social networking, to video-on-demand, to health care, to smart metering, and-especially-to cloud computing. This paper reviews the state-of-the-art technologies, including the emerging Open Authorization Protocol (OAuth) 2.0, and presents our own solution in this space, which removes an intermediary and gives the owner of a resource immediate control over defining access to that resource. © 2011 Alcatel-Lucent.
