The investment return, tariff regime and concession period are the most important items that influence the success of a concession-based Public-Private Partnership (PPP) project. From the public partner’s perspective, whether a scheme is value-for-money or not dominates the decision making process. However, a seemingly favorable deal may turn out to be the least value-for-money option should it cause unnecessary social upheaval, such as excessive tariff increases or complaints. A scheme which is truly value-for-money is one which balances the interests of the public partner, investor and end-users. In this paper, a simulation model is proposed to assist a public partner to identify the concession period based on the expected investment and tariff regime. The needs for establishing different scenarios to represent the risks and uncertainties involved are presented, and a fuzzy multi-objective decision model is

depending on the communication latency and physical model of sensed values (given as differential equations). Runtime Environment- The framework is backed by jDEECo, an implementa-tion of DEECo in Java. This runtime environment includes scheduling of component processes, dynamic grouping of components into ensem-bles, and distributed knowledge exchange. Technically, jDEECo employs gossip-style network commu-nication to uniformly address IP-based, as well as peer-to-peer broadcast-style WPAN networks.

The purpose of this report is to assess whether there is a market opportunity for CubeWerx Corporation to enter the Chinese spatial data warehousing industry. In order to draw a reasonable conclusion, the author looks into many related Chinese industries, such as the software industry and information market, and conducts some analysis on both the industries and CubeWerx’s capabilities. The Chinese software industry has been developing at a dramatically growing rate over the past years. System software, supporting software and application software have covered most of the market, with the North, South and East accounting for 62 % of sales. Finance, telecommunications, and natural resources industries have become the heaviest users of software. As more and more industries are getting information-oriented, industry users are going to be crucial consumers of software. In China, the data warehousing industry has been monopolized by foreign companies, among whom Oracle, Sybase, Informix and IBM are the key players. As a newly born baby, the Chinese spatial data warehousing industry is now mainly supported by Central Government and state institutes. Because of lack of advanced
