Multiple software development projects are often managed concurrently to deliver a complex software system. This approach of managing multiple development projects together to deliver an IT product is called program management. How can an IT product development program manage the interfaces with the internal and external environment successful leading to the program’s success? This study examin...

Introduction and background Effective communication and strong therapeutic relationships are critical to successful mental health interventions. For example, in 1957 Carl Rogers, a pioneer of person-centred therapy, proposed that an empowering relationship could, in and of itself, create “the necessary and sufficient conditions” for positive therapeutic outcomes [1]. Whilst modern psychological...

Many hospitals have implemented various kinds of information technologies. Using information technology can improve communication and improve patient safety. One of the information technologies is the application of bar code medication administration (BCMA). For achieving a successful implementation, a semi-formal notation form is used to model and to evaluate the effects of a BCMA system on co...

Mobile marketing offers direct communication with consumers, anytime and anyplace. This paper reviews mobile marketing and then investigates the most successful form of mobile communication, short message services (SMS), via a quantitative content analysis of the Fortune Global 500 Web sites and qualitative interviews with European experts. The content analysis explores the diffusion of SMS tec...

This paper illustrates the importance of awareness and informal communication in work environments and outlines the resulting implications for the design of future information and communication technologies. The paper starts by providing an introduction into intellectual teamwork, showing its benefits and explaining, why informal communication and awareness are decisive factors for successful t...

Social communities emerge by successful communication (or other forms of successful reciproke interaction). We have investigated algorithms that forge topic-specific links of different strengths within a peer-to-peer network based on the success of previous communications with regard to the specific or semantically similar topics. We have shown that through such adaptation overlapping topic com...

Self-avoiding random walks were performed on protein residue networks. Compared with protein residue networks with randomized links, the probability of a walk being successful is lower and the length of successful walks shorter in (non-randomized) protein residue networks. Fewer successful walks and shorter successful walks point to higher communication specificity between protein residues, a c...
