“…In addition to our mote platform, a number of low-power sensor systems have been proposed and developed [3,4,12,39,55,56,64], though few of these systems have addressed flexible operating systems design. Several projects use more traditional embedded systems (such as PDAs [16]) or customized hardware [64].…”

Abstract. We present TinyOS, a flexible, application-specific operating system for sensor networks, which form a core component of ambient intelligence systems. Sensor networks consist of (potentially) thousands of tiny, low-power nodes, each of which execute concurrent, reactive programs that must operate with severe memory and power constraints. The sensor network challenges of limited resources, event-centric concurrent applications, and low-power operation drive the design of TinyOS. Our solution combines flexible, fine-grain components with an execution model that supports complex yet safe concurrent operations. TinyOS meets these challenges well and has become the platform of choice for sensor network research; it is in use by over a hundred groups worldwide, and supports a broad range of applications and research topics. We provide a qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the system, showing that it supports complex, concurrent programs with very low memory requirements (many applications fit within 16KB of memory, and the core OS is 400 bytes) and efficient, low-power operation. We present our experiences with TinyOS as a platform for sensor network innovation and applications.

“…A different approach of energy conservation was proposed by Clare et al They developed a time division multiple-access (TDMA) MAC protocol for low-energy operation [27]. Using a TDMA approach saves energy by allowing the nodes to remain in the sleep state, with radios powereddown, for a long time.…”

“…Hitherto, the problem of defining the word 'entrepreneur' and establishing the boundaries of the field of entrepreneurship have not been solved [6]. In 1999, Wennekers and Thurik presented a wide picture of entrepreneurship, noting that it is the manifest ability and willingness of individuals, on their own, in terms, within and outside existing organizations, to perceive and create new economic opportunities (new product, new production methods, new organizational schemes and new-market combinations) and to introduce their ideas in the market, in the face of uncertainty and other obstacles, by making decisions on location and the use of resources and institutions [7]. In contrast, Acs and Audretsch's definition embraces all businesses that are new and dynamic, regardless of size or line of business, will excluding businesses that are neither new nor dynamic as well as all nonbusiness organizations [8].…”

The term "entrepreneurship" refers to qualities and actions of individuals that involve taking the risks of venturing into new and unknown areas of work. It generally involves creating or setting up new enterprises that engage in activities that are significantly different from other enterprises around it. However, entrepreneurs face many obstacles, and a non-trivial number of ventures have sought to establish new businesses that could not come to fruition. In today's competitive markets, various kinds of planning techniques have become a crucial element for both new and established businesses. This study covers some outstanding strategies, namely, the Blue Ocean Strategy (BOS), Balanced Scorecard (BSC) and Continuous Improvement (KAIZEN), which have proven their effectiveness in several global industries. Furthermore, the study provides an integrated framework that aligns these strategies to serve as guidance for entrepreneurs to transform their ideas into successful enterprises. Moreover, the study demonstrates a practical implementation of the framework in Talah Aljood Company, which was ranked first by Forbes Middle East in 2014 in the food and beverage sector. It is concluded that the gist of today's successful enterprises is value innovation, planning and continuous improvement. Therefore, the developed framework covers these three pillars in an integrated manner to avoid any possible gaps that may occur during these phases.
