This paper examines online communities and describes how they can be differentiated from other Internet supported group interactions. A definition of an online community is given and three generic types are identified. These types are defined by the community models based on the value proposition for the sponsors and members. The value proposition for members is strongly influenced by the model...

Mainstream crowdwork platforms treat microtasks as indivisible units; however, in this article, we propose that there is value in re-examining this assumption. We argue that crowdwork platforms can improve their value proposition for all stakeholders by supporting subcontracting within microtasks. After describing the value proposition of subcontracting, we then define three models for microtas...

Enduring doubts about the value of IS investments reveal that IS researchers have not fully managed to identify and to explain the economic benefits of IS. Three research tasks are essential requisites on the path towards addressing this criticism: the synthesis of knowledge, the identification of lack of knowledge, and the proposition of paths for closing knowledge gaps. This paper considers e...

Scientists work with approximations almost all the time and have to reason with these approximations. Therefore, it is very natural to wonder if approximations influence logical deduction and if so, how. Our goal in this paper is to present a class of lattices which captures some intuitions concerning propositions expressing numerical approximations and consider how they relate to classical log...

Background New technologies constitute an important cost-driver in healthcare, but the dynamics that lead to their emergence remains poorly understood from a health policy standpoint. The goal of this paper is to clarify how entrepreneurs, investors, and regulatory agencies influence the value of emerging health technologies.   Methods Our 5-year qualitative research program examined the proces...

In this paper, we propose a new version of FP-Growth algorithm to find association rules. In this version, we vary the minsup value from one level to another. This variation is made in two cases: increasing and decreasing the minsup value. We performed a set of experiments to validate the usefulness of our proposition in the generation of association rules process.
