Sommario/riassunto

This volume gathers the latest advances, innovations, and applications in the field of accelerated pavement testing (APT), presented at the 6th International Conference on Accelerated Pavement Testing, in Nantes, France, on September 27-29, 2021. Discussing APT, which involves rapid testing of full-scale pavement constructions for structural deterioration, the book covers topics such as APT facilities, APT of asphalt concrete and sustainable/innovative materials, APT for airfield pavements, testing of maintenance and rehabilitation solutions, testing



of smart and multi-functional pavements, data analysis and modeling, monitoring and non-destructive testing, and efficient means of calibrating/developing pavement design methods. Featuring peer-reviewed contributions by leading international researchers and engineers, the book is a timely and highly relevant resource for materials scientists and engineers interested in determining the performance of pavement structures during their service life (10+ years) in a few weeks or months.

Sommario/riassunto

This book offers a framework for enterprise transformation. Successful transformation, the authors believe, starts with a holistic approach, taking into consideration all facets of the enterprise and its environment rather than focusing solely on one factor -- information



technology, for example, or organizational structure. The ARIES (Architecting Innovative Enterprise Strategy) framework, including a ten enterprise element model and an architecting process model, is shown. Nightingale and Rhodes explain how to create a holistic vision for the future enterprise and how to generate concepts and alternative architectures. Techniques for evaluating possible architectures, tools for implementation planning, and strategies for communicating with stakeholders are described. Real-world examples are offered throughout. An extensive case study of enterprise transformation at a medical device manufacturer is presented. --
