In an online community of any size, every user garners reputations for different contexts through interactions with other users. When any user in the online community is interested in a certain context, the user would value the opinions of those users of high repute with respect to that context. However, if the online community is of any significant size, a user might not know every other user ...

Subordinate perceptions of supervisor communication of power (control) strategies and supervisor communication of affinity-seeking strategies were found to correlate with subordinate satisfaction. Supervisor use of power strategies such as Deferred Reward from Behavior, Self-Esteem, and Supervisor Feedback were positively correlated with subordinate satisfaction. Punishment from Supervisor, Pun...

performance appraisal systems are affected by organizational social context. social context consists of tow factors, distal variables, and, proximal variables. distal factors include but are not limited to organizational culture, organizational structure, and, values. proximal variable categorize as both process factors and structural factors. in this paper the process factors were examined. th...

Abstract Supervisory controller synthesis is a means to compute correct-by-construction controllers for discrete event systems. As these systems and their requirements evolve over time, an updated supervisor needs be computed each time adaptation takes place. We consider the case that has been synthesized given model, after which this model (slightly) adapted. investigate how we can make use of...

Supervisor localization procedure can be employed to construct local controllers corresponding to component agents in discrete-event systems. This proposed method in [11] is based on state reduction of a monolithic supervisor with respect to each set of controllable events corresponding to each component agent. A supervisor is localizable if state cardinality can be reduced from the reduced sup...
