To do so, Internet businesses must be able to determine and understand the values of their existing and potential customers. Hence, it is important for IS researchers to develop and validate a diverse array of metrics to comprehensively capture the attitu...

We discuss an analysis of constraint satisfaction problems, such as sphere packing, K-SAT, and graph coloring, in terms of an effective energy landscape. Several intriguing geometrical properties of the solution space become in this light familiar in terms of the well-studied ones of rugged (glassy) energy landscapes. A benchmark algorithm naturally suggested by this construction finds solution...

The constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) comprises n variables with associated nite domains (with a maximal cardinality d), and some combinations of value assignments (\constraints") to the variables; then, in order to get the globally consistent solution, we need to compute the set of all n-tuples consistent with the given constraints. There are a lot of papers which exploit speciic constrain...

Organizations are increasingly recognizing that user satisfaction with information systems is one of the most important determinants of the success of those systems. However, current satisfaction measures involve an intrusion into the users' worlds, and are frequently deemed to be too cumbersome to be justi®ed ®nancially and practically. This paper describes a methodology designed to solve this...
