Am 24./25.11.2011 trafen sich mehr als 50 Teilnehmer/innen zum Jahrestreffen der Fachgruppe Requirements Engineering, dieses Mal in Hamburg. Uns empfing die Blohm + Voss Naval GmbH in ihren großzügigen Räumen mit ausgezeichneter Verpflegung. Wir bedanken uns ganz herzlich bei Herr Grudda und Frau Maas, die das Treffen so erfolgreich und freundlich vorbereitet und betreut haben. Das Treffen bega...

The paper presents new approximability results for single machine scheduling problems with jobs requiring some non-renewable resources (like raw materials, energy, or money) beside the machine. Each resource has an initial stock and additional supplies over time. A feasible schedule specifies a starting time for each job such that no two jobs overlap in time, and when a job is started, enough r...

In computational grids, resource discovery and selection requires matching job requirements to available resources. The properties of each job must be matched with those of existing resources as accurately as possible. The difficulty of the problem increases with the number of attributes for each resource/job. Existing heuristics are quite ineffective. We propose novel algorithms that use singu...

Technology-enhanced learning environments are designed to help users practise social skills. In this paper, we present and evaluate a virtual job interview training game which has been adapted to the special requirements of young people with low chances on the job market. The evaluation spanned three days, during which we compared the technology-enhanced training with a traditional learning met...

Background: Job stress is defined as the harmful physical and emotional responses happening when the requirements of the job do not match the capabilities, resources, or needs of the worker. Some jobs such as nursing are stressful. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of group acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) on job stress and burnout among pediatric oncology and special ...

This document presents the findings of a scoping study commissioned by the Public Interest Energy Research (PIER) program of the California Energy Commission to determine what research is necessary to develop new residential ventilation requirements for California. This study is one of three companion efforts needed to complete the job of determining the ventilation needs of California residenc...

| Jobs arriving over time must be nonpreemptively processed on one of m parallel machines, each of which running at its own speed, so as to minimize a weighted sum of the job completion times. In this on-line environment, the processing requirement and weight of a job are not known before the job arrives. The Weighted Shortest Processing Requirement (WSPR) on-line heuristic is a simple extensio...

The advent of the internet has facilitated greater access to the myriad of job opportunities available globally. Currently there exist many job application submission portals that are being used for online job recruitment purposes. However, the task of many of these job submission portals is limited to matching the professional and academic qualifications of applicants with the requirements of ...
