From a critical analysis of Howe and Strauss (2000; 2003) theory of recurrent cycles of generations in History, we intend to extract useful Advertising principles that can be applied when aiming at Millennials as consumers. Noting that the notion of “generational trait” resembles the empirically validated concept of “cohort effect”, we find Howe and Strauss ideas to be very compelling, and usef...

This article describes the similarities between learning classifier systems (LCSs) and coevolutionary algorithm, and exploits these similarities by taking ideas used by LCSs to design a non-generational coevolutionary algorithm that incrementally estimates fitness of individuals. The algorithm solves some of the problems known to exist in coevolutionary algorithms: it does not loose gradient an...

illuminating account of the "generational family" prevalent in Middle European peasant society in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, in which unlike England households typically comprised three generations living together, often under the same roof. The authors carefully distinguish this generational family from the largely mythological "stem family", and show its rootedness in the largel...

As the popularity of Twitter continues to increase rapidly, it is extremely necessary to analyze the huge amount of data that Twitter users generate. A popular method of tweet analysis is clustering. Because most tweets are textual, this study focuses on clustering tweets based on their textual content similarity. This study presents tweet clustering using cellular genetic algorithm cGA. The re...

While real-time garbage collection is now available in production virtual machines, the lack of generational capability means applications with high allocation rates are subject to reduced throughput and high space overheads. Since frequent allocation is often correlated with a high-level, objectoriented style of programming, this can force builders of real-time systems to compromise on softwar...

This paper examines differences in work-family conflict and synergy among the four generational groups represented in the contemporary workforce: Generation Y Generation X, Baby Boomers, and Matures using data from the 2008 National Study of the Changing Workforce (n = 3,502). Significant generational differences were found for work-family conflict (work interfering with family and family inter...

Relational self, along with individual and collective selves, is a fundamental aspect that makes up self-concept. Proposing its two aspects: self-focused relational self (i.e., perceiving the self as the object of other people's referential awareness or intentionality) and other-focused relational self (i.e., perceiving the self as being attuned and empathetically connected to close others), th...

This article provides a list of helpful teaching tips for instructional librarians who need to meet the changing generational needs of their patrons. Specific generational qualities and attitudes of Generation X and Generation Y are discussed along with educational techniques and software recommendations. These tips are based on the authors' experiences at Drexel University's Hahnemann Library ...

The generational properties of organization theory are an increasing topic for analysis, usually in terms of what is addressed and how it is addressed. Some writers have alerted us to the importance of those social issues that are not addressed. Combining the idea of generational scholarship with the idea of those non-issues that remain unaddressed, this paper highlights how some of the events ...
