The advice found in practical guides like PMBOK regarding designing and managing communication in IT projects, is worryingly superficial and gives little guidance or insights of substance to IS academics and practitioners. Thus, the objective of this paper is to help academics and practitioners better appreciate the complexity involved in IT projects and to foreground many of the attendant issu...

Communication is an essential aspect of services. Services do not only realize simple request-response scenarios, but increasingly implement complex and stateful communication protocols. Such a protocol specifies the order in which messages are sent and received by a service and is an essential part of a service description. Services are usually not executed in isolation, but as a collaboration...

In enterprise modeling focus has been on capturing the right level of information and how the models represent this information. This paper purposes a project, which aims to look at the stakeholder and their participation in the modeling process. The paper proposes a solution for how the stakeholders can be included in the process by drawing inspiration from knowledge of visual conceptual model...

Communication performance models enable distributed real-time and multimedia applications to describe their performance requirements as regards throughput, delay and loss behavior of a particular communication service. The purpose of this paper is to give a basic understanding of communication performance models by presenting four different models: two models designed by the Tenet Group, one mo...

Morphodynamics means 'the dynamics of form', and the purpose of morphody-namic theories is to describe and explain the birth, evolution, and death of form. The term 'form' is used differently in different sciences, but the notions of discontinuity and organisation seems to recur in most uses. A central question is: how can continuous changes of an amorphous substance, such as increasing the vel...

conclusions nursing students did not experience effective clinical learning. having expert instructors and supportive communication are important factors in creating a clinical learning environment. background clinical training is an integral part of nursing education; however, some studies have shown that it is not always efficient. objectives this study aimed to find out the factors that can ...

In this paper, we analyze the secure connectivity in Shotgun cellular systems (SCS: Wireless communication systems with randomly placed base stations) by Poisson intrinsically secure communication graph (IS-graph), i.e., a random graph which describes the connections that are secure over a network. For a base-station in SCS, a degree of secure connections is determined over two channel models: ...

various lists of news values in communication have been offered since 1960. this article, next to a comparative and analytical explanation of those lists in the recent five decades, presents the authors, own selected list which embodies all the previous ones. then it is shown that the news values issue in both the practical domain of communication i.e the media, and its scientific domain, are b...
