In response to the so-called "software crisis', software prototyping has been widely used as a technique in various stage of systems development since the late 70's, and, with the growing sophistication of 4GLs tools and environments, it has becoming a popular alternative to conventional...

Regression equations between a response variable and candidate explanatory variables are often estimated using a training set of data from closely observed locations but are then applied using covariate data held in a GIS to predict the response variable at locations throughout a region. When...

Building upon the balanced scorecard framework, this article addresses three central issues of human resource (HR) measurement: (1) Do HR practices impact business results? (2) How can HR practices add value to business performance? (3) What HR measures can drive business performance? Using...

Often organizations release and receive medical data with all explicit identifiers, such as name, address, phone number, and Social Security number, removed in the incorrect belief that patient confidentiality is maintained because the resulting data look anonymous; however, we show that in most...

In this research, the authors introduce and define a universal incident detection framework that is capable of fulfilling all components of a set of recognized needs. An algorithm is presented that has the potential to fulfill the defined universality requirements. It is a modified form of a...

Az Internet-információs szolgálat a menedzsereknek kiutat ígér a hírözönből. Kevesebbet olvasni, többet tudni - így hangzik a formula. A cikk azt igyekszik tisztázni, hogy a szolgálat valóban beváltja-e a reményeket?

A Bayesian updating model is developed to capture the mechanism by which travelers update their travel time perceptions from one day to the next in light of information provided by Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS) and their previous experience. The availability and perceived quality...

Empirical research is vital if software engineering technology is to be meaningfully evaluated --- without it only guesses can be made at the competing merits of different approaches. Unfortunately, as this thesis demonstrates, much of existing empirical work contains some kind of weakness...

Strategic objectives in modern discrete-part manufacturing are shifting from the previously sought economies of scale to the so called economies of scope, where emphasis is placed on product variety and customization, as well as the increased responsiveness of the production system to widely...
