This study examined to study how respondents rely on the Internet to fulfill the various life goals dimensioned into understanding, orientation and playing goals, and how this dependency relates to the generation of social capital. Further, it examined the resources of social capital in terms of bonding social capita and bridging social capital. In this study quantitative research approach was ...

In explaining functional dependency to students, I have noticed in texts a mixture of two types of elements: intensional (or psychological or meaning) and extensional (patterns of repetition in the data). In this chapter I examine whether it is possible to consider functional dependency, in particular, in second and third normal forms, solely on an extensional basis. The Microsoft Access Analyz...

Dependency graphs such as call and data usage graphs are often used to study software systems and perform impact analysis during maintenance activities. These graphs show the present structure of the software system (e.g. In a compiler, an Optimizer function calling a Parser function). They fail to reveal details about the structure of the system that are needed to gain a better understanding. ...

While organisational collaborations are increasingly common they often fail. More effective design of collaborations should be facilitated by improved understanding of the relationships created. It is suggested that while the most commonly used theoretical lens is transaction cost economics it might not be the most appropriate. Resource dependency theory is proposed as an alternative since it a...

Requirement prioritization (RP) is a crucial task in managing requirements as it determines the order of implementation and, thus, delivery software system. Improper RP may cause project failures due to over budget and schedule well low-quality product. Several factors influence RP. One which dependency. Handling inappropriate handling dependencies can lead development failures. If requirement ...

many intelligent systems are intended to communicate with users through natural language. Understanding the natural language by the computer is one of the most essential operations in natural language processing. One of the applications of natural languages is in the exams having essay questions. The objective of this paper is to propose a method for designing an examiner machine and creating a...

Various service management tasks depend on knowledge about objects they are applied to. Understanding dependencies between these objects is of special interest. Such dependency models are neither generally available nor easy to create. Creating them manually is expensive in regard to both time and money. In addition, they must be brought up to date, re ecting the frequent changes in the managed...
