Technology and the Environment
Thomas E. Graedel; Jennifer A. Howard-Grenville
The focus of this chapter is dynamic workflow updates. WF provides the ability to make dynamic changes to the structure of a workflow instance. Structural changes might include adding or removing activities based on updated business requirements. When updates are applied to a workflow instance, they only affect that one instance. All other instances of the same workflow, current and future, use the original workflow definition.
Part I - Introduction to Industry and Environmental Issues | Pp. 3-12
Key Topics and Approaches in Greening the Industrial Facility
Thomas E. Graedel; Jennifer A. Howard-Grenville
Given a topic as complex as impacts on the environment, one in which both science and human values play complementary roles, and one in which all the desired information on impacts has yet to be acquired (especially in many local and regional situations), there is no completely satisfactory way in which to assess the environmental performance of industrial facilities, corporations, or sectors. This is particularly true when viewed from the perspective of sustainability. Even were there a perfect technique, requirements for efficiency and transparency would be difficult to achieve. In this chapter, a semi-qualitative approach to such challenges is presented. The matrix approach is easy to understand, easy for those who are not environmental professionals to use, efficient to complete, and presentation of the results readily communicates the information. Even with its imperfections, its use can move industrial facilities much closer to environmental superiority.
