this research is intended to investigate educational change in complexity paradigm. complexity paradigm provide a new perspective for thinkers to changing the world and it's phenomena and many of theorists present new viewpoints in variant scientific domains according to the main components of this paradigm. for this, the researcher first investigates and criticizes educational change theories ...

Multi-paradigm design is a metaparadigm: it enables to select the appropriate paradigm among those supported by a programming language for a feature being modeled in a process called transformational analysis. A paradigm model is a basis for multi-paradigm design. Feature modeling appears to be appropriate to represent a paradigm model. Such a model is proposed here for AspectJ language upon th...

Gordon and Porter (2009) provide a guide to reading and evaluating the academic accounting literature aimed at Master’s students and “future practitioners.” While the article has value as a guide to the historical publishing norms of a certain type of research, this comment argues that it provides a paradigm-specific view of what constitutes accounting research and an overly stylized view of th...

We describe a program called SketchIT that transforms a single sketch of a mechanical device into multiple families of new designs. It represents each of these families with a “BEP-Model,” a parametric model augmented with constraints that ensure the device produces the desired behavior. The program is based on qualitative configuration space (qc-space), a novel representation that captures mec...

In this paper, we study the effects of integration of one or more disruptive innovations and ask if the resultant (new) innovation can have a dramatic impact on new and existing markets, and the resultant technology paradigm. We describe the evolution and dynamics of this process using Skype as a case in point. Skype successfully fused peerto-peer computing (P2P) techniques and voiceover-Intern...

In this article, the authors examine the conceptualisation of Psychology of Black Identity as a multidimensional and a dynamic construct that develops over time through a process of exploration and commitment. The design of the current paper was a conceptual work based on reviewed literature ranging from the early 1930s to present (2010). The authors review research on Psychology of Black Ident...

Classical conditioning is a fundamental paradigm in the study of learning and thus in understanding cognitive processes and behaviour, for which we need comprehensive and accurate models. This paper aims at evaluating and comparing a collection of influential computational models of classical conditioning by analysing the models themselves and against one another qualitatively. The results will...

This paper describes an approach towards the interaction with 3D representations of large document collections. The goal was to provide the user with a highly dynamic environment in which even the very mapping strategy to position documents in space can be adjusted by the user depending on the specific task at hand, on his preferences, or on the context. A modification to the FDP algorithm is p...
