We built and tested a decision tool that organisations can use to properly select one business process maturity model (BPMM) out of many maturity models. This prototype consists of a novel questionnaire with decision criteria for BPMM selection, linked to a unique data set of 69 BPMMs. 14 criteria were defined by an international Delphi study, and weighed by the Analytical Hierarchy Process. Ca...

English as Foreign Language (EFL) students face additional difficulties for academic writing largely due to their level of language competency. An appropriate structural process of writing can help students develop their academic writing skills. This study explored the use of the e-readers to facilitate EFL students' process-based academic writing. The experiment was conducted in the graduate l...

When it comes to designing a software process, we have experienced two major strategies. Process engineers can either opt for the strategy in which they focus on designing a process using an artefact model as backbone or, on the other hand, they can design it around activities and methods. So far, we have first studies that directly analyse benefits and shortcomings of both approaches in direct...

In analogical problem solving, non-isomorphic source/target relations are typically only investigated in contrast to the ideal case of isomorphism. We propose to give a closer look to different types of non-isomorphic source/target relations and varying degrees of structural overlap. We introduce a measure of graph distance which captures the “size” of partial isomorphism between two structures...
