Today's workplace often includes workers from 4 distinct generations, and each generation brings a unique set of core values and characteristics to an organization. These generational differences can produce benefits, such as improved patient care, as well as challenges, such as conflict among employees. This article reviews current research on generational differences in educational settings a...

From a critical analysis of Howe and Strauss (2000; 2003) theory of recurrent cycles of generations in History, we intend to extract useful Advertising principles that can be applied when aiming at Millennials as consumers. Noting that the notion of “generational trait” resembles the empirically validated concept of “cohort effect”, we find Howe and Strauss ideas to be very compelling, and usef...

This article describes the similarities between learning classifier systems (LCSs) and coevolutionary algorithm, and exploits these similarities by taking ideas used by LCSs to design a non-generational coevolutionary algorithm that incrementally estimates fitness of individuals. The algorithm solves some of the problems known to exist in coevolutionary algorithms: it does not loose gradient an...

illuminating account of the "generational family" prevalent in Middle European peasant society in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, in which unlike England households typically comprised three generations living together, often under the same roof. The authors carefully distinguish this generational family from the largely mythological "stem family", and show its rootedness in the largel...

As the popularity of Twitter continues to increase rapidly, it is extremely necessary to analyze the huge amount of data that Twitter users generate. A popular method of tweet analysis is clustering. Because most tweets are textual, this study focuses on clustering tweets based on their textual content similarity. This study presents tweet clustering using cellular genetic algorithm cGA. The re...

While real-time garbage collection is now available in production virtual machines, the lack of generational capability means applications with high allocation rates are subject to reduced throughput and high space overheads. Since frequent allocation is often correlated with a high-level, objectoriented style of programming, this can force builders of real-time systems to compromise on softwar...

This paper examines differences in work-family conflict and synergy among the four generational groups represented in the contemporary workforce: Generation Y Generation X, Baby Boomers, and Matures using data from the 2008 National Study of the Changing Workforce (n = 3,502). Significant generational differences were found for work-family conflict (work interfering with family and family inter...

This article provides a list of helpful teaching tips for instructional librarians who need to meet the changing generational needs of their patrons. Specific generational qualities and attitudes of Generation X and Generation Y are discussed along with educational techniques and software recommendations. These tips are based on the authors' experiences at Drexel University's Hahnemann Library ...
