The Beyond Budgeting performance management model enables companies to keep pace with changing environments, to quickly create and adapt strategy and to empower people throughout the organisation to make effective choices. We argue that this performance management model may be ideal for agile software development. Although drawn from different disciplines, both are designed for a customer-orien...

If you live in Barrington, you’ve seen the bright blue cars driving around town with driver’s ed teachers and their students. Those cars with the extra brake on the front passenger side belong to Joyce’s Driving School, located at 120 lageschulte Street near the high school. owned by Joyce younger, the school and its philosophy was inspired after younger observed her daughter’s driver’s ed expe...

One way to characterize students' representations is to distinguish between concrete, semi-concrete, semi-abstract and abstract representations. In a previous study with 6-year olds we surprisingly found that – while solving a combinatorial task the children who used semi-concrete representations in their documentations were more systematic in the process of finding solutions with less duplicat...

In this paper, we proposed fast exploration method of copy-move forgery image. We proposed a new simple search algorithm using a half block size for copy-moved forgery image detection. Our algorithm reduced computational complexity more than conventional algorithms. We didn’t use 8x8 pixel block exhaustive search method and frequency algorithm to reduce computational complexity in this paper.

This paper describes a research-in-progress that aims to explore the applicability and implications of open innovation practices in two firms – one that employs agile development methods and another that utilizes open source software. The open innovation paradigm has a lot in common with open source and agile development methodologies. A particular strength of agile approaches is that they move...

In this talk we will describe a type of metaheuristics inspired by natural selection, which is generically named evolutionary algorithms. We will begin by providing a historic perspective of the evolutionary algorithms, and will emphasize the origins of the three most representative paradigms of this area: evolution strategies, evolutionary programming and genetic algorithms. Then, we will pres...

Software development industry is inventing new development methodologies in last 10 years for improving the existing developing tools, process and delivering a high-quality software to end customer in short time. In recent year's waterfall development becomes less attractive in the software industry and shifted its attention towards the new software development methodologies such as agile. Agil...
