A Profile of The Distance Computing Student Softlifter
نویسنده
چکیده
The use of software in violation of applicable licensing agreements and copyright laws are reaching endemic proportions. One population cluster strongly linked to illegal software acts is the university student. While some research is available on patterns of illegal software use for non-monetary gain (softlifting) under residential student populations, a dearth of information exists on student populations at distance institutions.

متن کاملA novel three-stage distance-based consensus ranking method
In this study, we propose a three-stage weighted sum method for identifying the group ranks of alternatives. In the first stage, a rank matrix, similar to the cross-efficiency matrix, is obtained by computing the individual rank position of each alternative based on importance weights. In the second stage, a secondary goal is defined to limit the vector of weights since the vector of weights ob...
