This paper describes Levels of conceptual interoperability model as the method and model towards enhancing interoperability among mobile apps. The LCIM is used in both descriptive and prescriptive form. In descriptive form LCIM is used to reduce the discrepancies in rating mobile apps based on content by suggesting a rating system that is completely based on interoperability. In the prescriptiv...

Predictive process monitoring is concerned with the analysis of events produced during the execution of a process in order to predict the future state of ongoing cases thereof. Existing techniques in this field are able to predict, at each step of a case, the likelihood that the case will end up in an undesired outcome. These techniques, however, do not take into account what process workers ma...

background and aim: as the most perceived and articulated errors of hearing aid users occur in high frequency speech phonemes, this study aimed to find a way to amplify and reconstruct the errors. thus, the study first prepared a recorded form of two persian fricative consonants as stimulus; then, the rate of the prescribed gain of the two methods of national acoustic laboratories-nonlinear 2 (...

In this paper, we present property-driven design, a novel top-down design method for robot swarms based on prescriptive modeling and model checking. Traditionally, robot swarms have been developed using a codeand-fix approach: in a bottom-up iterative process, the developer tests and improves the individual behaviors of the robots until the desired collective behavior is obtained. The code-and-...

People want to know the most accept­ able words aTuI rules jar using English, and the goal oj prescriptive grammar is to determine and to teach those rules. The present article argues that psychology can help to develop principles and procedures for pre­ scriptive grammar. As a first step in that direction, an e:rperimental technique is reported jar evaluating the prescription oj he to mean "he...

In safety–critical applications, it is necessary to justify, prior to deployment, why software behaviour is to be trusted. This is normally referred to as software safety assurance. Within certification standards, developers demonstrate this by appealing to the satisfaction of objectives that the safety assurance standards require for compliance. In some standards the objectives can be very det...

In the macro education plan for Iran (2010-2025), twelve years of schooling has been characterized as “General” education. Such a characterization is prone to certain misconceptions. General education does not equal “Uniform,” or standardized, education and should refrain from identifying as such. Yet it is misinterpreted that there is a relationship between offering a G...
