Integrated test technology is becoming critically important for MEMS due to the high reliability and safety critical applications targeted. High quality levels in production require efficient test strategies that are properly validated. Fault simulation and testability analysis are critical utilities required to support this process. This paper will discuss methods for achieving test support ba...

The increasing role of software for developing products and services requires that organizations align their software-related activities with high-level business goals. In practice, this alignment is very difficult and only little systematic support is available. GQM+Strategies is a method that aims at aligning organizational goals, strategies, and measurements at all levels of an organization ...

Although several studies have linked Life History Strategy (LHS) variation with variation in the Five Factor Model personality dimensions, no published research has explored the relationship of LHS to the HEXACO personality dimensions. The theoretically expected relationship of the HEXACO Emotionality factor to LHS is unclear. The results of two studies (N = 641) demonstrated that LHS indicator...

Products motivated by performance-driven and/or density-driven goals often use Multi-Chip Module (MCM) technology, even though it still faces several challenging problems that need to be resolved before it becomes a widely adopted technology. Among its most challenging problems is achieving acceptable MCM assembly yields while meeting quality requirements. This problem can be significantly redu...

The Initiative of establishing Information Technology (IT) and Community Service Centers, later renamed Knowledge Stations (KSs) was launched in 2001. The KSs initiative is intended to implement IT in local communities (LCs) and remote areas in preparation for the E-Government process. This study develops a model that explores KSs’ role as a partnership in E-Government readiness in Jordan throu...
