ABSTRACTThe Grand Seaside Hotel is a large five-star hotel in an Australian Coastal town. It is a place that not only aspires to provide excellent service but that also seeks to reconcile two apparently divergent demands: the need for customized service and the efficient management of business operations. To commit staff to the provision of service excellence, management has introduced a customer service programme that relies on various forms of training and rewards, as well as a guest response system. The customer service programme, particularly the use of guest questionnaires, appear as disciplinary strategies that aim to produce service encounters in which both staff and guests are ‘normalized’. The main loci of ethnographic data collection for this paper are regular Management Briefings. Through data collected from these, the paper investigates the use of the ‘imaginary’ in constituting service encounters and guest expectations. It interprets these in terms of Foucault's Panoptic analysis to identify the immanent mechanisms of discipline in these customer service programmes.

Aquaculture Species Observing System’s main objective is to check the quality of the water by using temperature, pH and turbidity sensors in a water resources i.e. lake, pond. As fish is a significant protein rich food resource and there have been shrilled increase in the demand of fish products due to the increasing population pressure in this century. Thus, to meet the demand of present food supply, water quality management is a necessary step that is required as taken up. The conventional system has some shortness in practice. So, the solution is provided in IoT platform and some additional features have been included in the system for efficient management. Like, the GUI was designed, so that the users and investigators can observe, investigate and analyse the related data. The user interface allows us to convey the analysed data in the form of a message to the users in their respective local languages at their Mobile Phones as SMS and to take necessary steps in unhygienic environmental conditions. With this even semi-literate user can interact with the system and can understand the information to take suitable actions.

One of the main requirements of the safe and sustained workflow of production facilities and machines, is the proper choice and implementation of suitable technical diagnostic method. In the broader sense technical diagnostics includes approaches and methods of technical objects condition determination. This process is based on specific devices parameters inspecting, which values are directly or indirectly caused by certain changes of monitored production facilities condition. In order to reliably detect faults in right time, selected parameters indicating status of the production device should be monitored continuously. At a time when an Internet of Things platforms implemented to the industry business systems is the great temptation from the view of investors and company prestige are these principles common in the process of machine parameters online monitoring and its cross connections within the business realms. This paper describes specific software ThingWorx, which is a great example of sophisticated and universal IoT platform and also describes its application for production facilities diagnostic data collection and visualization.

AbstractDelivering results iteratively and frequently in large-scale agile requires efficient management of dependencies. We conducted semi-structured interviews and virtual observations in a large-scale project during the Covid-19 pandemic to better understand large-scale dependency management. All employees in the case were working from home. During our data collection and analysis, we identified 22 coordination mechanisms. These mechanisms could be categorized as synchronization activities, boundary-spanning activities and artifacts, and coordinator roles. By using a dependency taxonomy, we analyzed how the mechanisms managed five different types of dependencies. We discuss three essential mechanisms for coordination in our case. First, setting Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) in regular workshops increased transparency and predictability across teams. Second, ad-hoc communication, mainly happening on Slack because of the distributed setting, was essential in managing dependencies. Third, the Product Owner was a coordinator role that managed both inter-team and intra-team dependencies.

The development of the hydration stages for electron microscopes has opened up the application of electron diffraction in the study of biological membranes. Membrane specimen can now be observed without the artifacts introduced during drying, fixation and staining. The advantages of the electron diffraction technique, such as the abilities to observe small areas and thin specimens, to image and to screen impurities, to vary the camera length, and to reduce data collection time are fully utilized. Here we report our pioneering work in this area.
