Purpose The purpose of this paper is to define the integration capability dimensions and create a model for self-assessing in inter-organizational projects. Design/methodology/approach A theoretical construct of, referred study as framework elaborated following systematic literature review. Thereafter, an self-assessment model, based on maturity thinking, derived from framework. further develop...

The aim of this study was to develop a theoretical and pedagogical model for planning and evaluat ing play and games as learning tools. The model is also useful for evaluating playful learning environments (PLE). This research is a part of the Let’s Play project in which purpose is to design and construct playful learning environments for primary schools. The pilot projects of PLE are located a...

Location-Privacy Meter (LPM) is an object-oriented tool developed in C++ that enables the designers of location-privacy preserving mechanisms to evaluate the effectiveness of their mechanisms with respect to various location-inference attacks. This document provides the reader with a quick start guide on how to use the tool to construct the adversary’s background knowledge and to run different ...

Information of the structures and functions of protein molecules and their mutual interactions that construct protein networks increases rapidly as the consequence of the structural genomics and structural proteomics projects [1]. Advanced applications of such information require the Grid technology to solve the two problems: (i) the shortage of computational power, and (ii) the lack of a capab...

Economic growth in developing countries has resulted in increasing demand for infrastructure projects like power plants. To meet these development needs, the government of Iran has engaged companies to carry out power plant projects. While many papers have been written on the subject of project risk management, little information exists on the actual use of risk management in practice. The prim...

In this paper, we propose a pragmatic process model for the development of multiagent systems based on the combination of standard software engineering techniques. The development method that is presented in this paper features a product model to describe the target system, a process model to construct the product model and an institutional framework that supports learning and reuse over projec...

Purpose: The construction industry is one of the most hazardous work sectors in Norway according to Statistics Norway. purpose this study was planning at various levels projects, including lifting operations, assess how safety can be optimised.
 Methodology: This qualitative interview based on a thorough review literature. Fifteen interviews were conducted with workers sharp and blunt end,...

We construct a Galois connection between the theories that underlie CCS [7] and CSP [4]. It projects the complete transition system for CCS onto exactly the subset that satisfies the healthiness conditions of CSP. The construction applies to several varieties of both calculi: CCS with strong, weak or barbed simulation, and CSP with trace refinement or failures refinement, or failures/divergence...

Assembly of genomes from whole-genome sequencing (WGS) projects is one of the most complex computational problems in genomics. WGS assemblers such as Arachne [1] and Celera Assembler [2] are able to process data from millions of individual sequence "reads" and construct an accurate representation of a genome. These assemblies are in the form of contigs (contiguous stretches of DNA sequence) and...
