Prioritizing genes according to their association with a disease allows researchers to explore genes in more informed ways. Although some useful algorithms have been developed, they are based on single gene importance, gene interaction networks, or gene modules with little consideration of relative gene importance in the context of modules. In this paper, we propose to prioritize genes considering...
The FIE conference has throughout its history emphasized work at the frontiers of education. This pre-conference workshop reflects a policy shift at the National Science Foundation, Department of Education, and Department of Defense, and others who have adopted the I-Corps™ model to extend the longevity and the value of initially funded projects. This cutting-edge workshop introduces the core features...
Engineering education researchers focus on research, putting research into practice, and creating innovative practice. These foci require meaningful communication that elicits a desired response (e.g. adoption of innovation). Innovation advocates and change agents know that communication is critical to a project's success. Without expertise in rhetoric, communications present significant challenges,...
The design thinking approach places the customer up front, with an emphasis on building empathy with users, observing their behavior, and drawing conclusions about what people want and need. When manifested in multidisciplinary teams, this approach leverages design processes and promotes realization of the required user experience, including usability and accessibility requirements. In this positional...
Taking security management of Software-Defined Networking (SDN) into consideration, the identification of attacks due to the SDN-specific vulnerabilities is of great significance. Thus in this case, formalization of security attacks becomes essential in promoting the identification process of attacks. This paper then proposes an integrated approach of attack trees and extension innovation methods...
There is a strong need to make research more efficient resulting in more impactful outcomes, across the world and more so in developing countries. To improve research outcomes and impact on practitioners, effectiveness of student researchers (SRs), research supervisors (RSs) and communication of research findings need improvement. The study attempts to find out 1. Can Lean help improving these elements?...
This paper reports on an investigation into perceptions of international university lecturers and their concerns about students' social and academic motivation for learning in online learning environments. The study results suggest that pedagogic lurking is a widespread phenomenon, with some perceiving it as problematic and others as a step towards more active participation. Most interestingly, there...
In this study, we develop a system for enabling sixth-year elementary school students to put their mementos into an "e-time capsule system." This paper mentions the production of an "e-time capsule system," which enables students to store the image data of the daily scenes in their classrooms and their products in classes, which are taken with a digital camera, on a computer, and...
R&D has typically been structured and managed in terms of its maturity on a scale that spans from initial concepts to marketable products. In contrast to a linear, stage-gate process that such a scale implies and for which many management tools have been developed, R&D breakthroughs and disruptive innovation typically emerge from coupled feedback loops and timely decisions in response to unplanned...
Firms voluntarily incorporating corporate social responsibility (CSR) principles often assume they can benefit from some kind of competitive advantage. Yet, we know relatively little about the impact of different dimensions of CSR activities on firms' environmental innovation or their impact on performance. This paper distinguishes between the strategic and responsive dimensions of CSR and investigates...
How do firms leverage existing innovation for the next round of innovation? We develop a novel concept of generative capability in product innovation to address this question. As a high-level organizational routine, generative capability applies the mechanisms of iteration and rapid knowledge integration to guide ordinary innovation activities. Based on panel data from 2001 to 2009 of 56,333 firm-year...
For long periods after their introductions, all bi g technologies have failed to create the kinds of productivity improvements that they would deliver in the long run. Many large technology systems today show the kinds of weaknesses found in the immature periods of earlier technologies such as those apparent in 18th Century steam-driven factories and early 20th Century factories where electric motors...
Advancement in Information Technology requires reassessment in decision making regarding investment for the success of project management. The barriers of an Information Technology project should be acknowledged before implementing an organizational innovation. The purpose of this paper is to summarize and analyze the risk factors that should be regarded in Information Technology Project Management...
This article tries to demonstrate a new dual-factor explaining mechanism for why emerging economy enterprises could achieve technological catch-up under the situations of technological accumulation lacks, complex international environments and inferior social reputations. We select 259 firms from 37 industries as our sample to do empirical research and found that technological discontinuity is positively...
New technologies associated with the current digital transformation promise high production improvements, but require new competences, which have to be built up in advance. While scientific research and innovation management have acknowledged the importance of the digital transformation for the long-term success of firms, little research effort is dedicated to empirically determine how competence...
As a result of globalization and increasing numbers of application filings around the world, the harmonization of intellectual property systems has become a key global issue. Many previous studies have examined the issue of harmonization, from industrial, IP policy, and enterprise perspectives, but have not taken inventors' points of view into consideration. Therefore, we have administered a questionnaire...
Knowledge mobility is more challenging in service innovation networks due to the nature of intangibility and co-development of service innovation. A central question is how to govern knowledge mobility for service innovation performance in such innovation networks. Given the inconsistent findings, more comprehensive research is needed to uncover the effects of contract-based and relation-based governance...
In the past decade, market pressures and decreasing U.S. federal budgets for science and technology have led to a fundamental change in expectations for corporate investments in innovation. The trend to significant, sustained corporate research collaboration with major academic centers has called for rethinking the balance between academic and corporate roles in these relationships. The Georgia Institute...
