In the real-world, there are many criteria to evaluate agents on roles, which are an important factor affecting the result of the group role assignment (GRA). To obtain a satisfied assignment, we need to select an appropriate evaluation method. This paper points out the key issues of the related concepts, formalizes the problem of GRA based on multiple criteria (GRA-MC), investigates three algorithms...
A comprehensive evaluation model of enterprise's partner selection on UIC is established by use of Analytical hierarchical process (AHP) and Grey Fuzzy Evaluation Method. The evaluation index system is built through literature review and expert interview, and then the weight of each index is determined by AHP and the reasonable conversion from qualitative to quantitative is acquired through the application...
In situations when several participants collaborate with each other, it is desirable to come up with a fair way to divide the resulting gain between the participants. Such a fair way was proposed by John von Neumann and Oscar Morgenstern, fathers of the modern game theory. However, in some situations, the von Neumann-Morgenstern solution does not exist. To cover such situations, we propose to use...
In the paper we intend to show in detail how the issue of the transition from the ‘Pisces’ into the so-called ‘Aquarius’ "World age" moves through the world view of the two major minds', Wolfgang Pauli and Carl G. Jung's world view of special scientific interpreting "Psyche and Nature" through the reinterpreted symbols of astrology in a "synchronistic way" in particular...
Educational recommendation is often pursued in environments where there is significant content knowledge of each item. For example, a recommender might choose appropriate learning modules in a tutoring system. In such cases, content-based recommendation can be very powerful. Our work examines recommendation of educational experiences in an informal learning environment. In this domain, content knowledge...
We have developed a collaborative system for location-based AR that enables users to handle virtual object by simple hand gestures. Through a combination of depth sensor and motion capture system, it makes possible to calculate global coordinates of hands and recognize hand gestures without pattern images or hand mounted instruments. We believe that this system would be useful for inter-user communication...
This preface provides a brief overview of the Fifth International Workshop on Adaptive Case Management and other Non-workflow Approaches to BPM (AdaptiveCM) held in conjunction with EDOC 2016. The preface introduces the workshop goals, lists the accepted papers and acknowledges the great efforts of PC and other individuals who worked for this event to happen.
By considering the fuzzy collaborative clustering, in this paper we investigate the ranking problem of factor granules, where the factor granule is composed by the patterns, the factors and the factor-induced information. Since the ideology of TOPSIS method is applied to obtain the finial ranking result, a referential factor granule is pre-provided. The collaborative information, i.e., the partition...
Today's systems are socio-technical, they are composed of social (humans and organizations) and technical components that interact with one another to achieve objectives they cannot achieve on their own. Security is a central issue in socio-technical systems and cannot be tackled through technical mechanisms alone. Instead, it requires enforcing security policies over the procedures that specify how...
Fistly, IEEE database is utilized to retrieve ICMSE conference data from 2006 to 2013 to build the conference coauthors network, then use social network analysis methods to analyze the scientific status of cooperation between scholars. Secondly, in the analysis of Cohesive Subgroup, we analyze and compare the two larger network from the core node centrality, the correlation between code centrality...
The conventional means of imparting knowledge in higher education institutions have considerably changed throughout time with the innovations of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). Courses disseminated are either fully online or on a blended learning mode. While the growth rate of online learning is higher compared to the traditional mode, we also find that online learners lack the...
This research paper analyses the importance of digital transformation within public organisations and its impact on related human resource factors like human resource development, talent and performance management. Since these three dependent variables affect the human resource process in today's organisations, it is seen that the independent variable—digital transformation has a positive effect on...
This study investigated the impact of the Exploring Computer Science (ECS) program on the likelihood that students of all races and gender would pursue further computer science coursework in high school. ECS is designed to foster deep engagement through equitable inquiry around computer science concepts. If the course provides a meaningful and relevant experience, it will increase students' expectancies...
This paper presents an analysis using hierarchical grouping method (ward grouping) and the non-hierarchical grouping method (k-means) to analyze the participation levels in activities and interactions in a virtual forum. Data came from a MOOC and it was on grammatical rules of Brazilian Portuguese. About 5100 participants integrated the course. It lasted about three months and the activities developed...
English Language Teachers were asked to voice their opinion and preferences as to the format, content matter as well as types of tasks and activities they would find most favourable in the training materials/course on the ELT and Assessment and their levels confidence regarding their competencies on the use of ICT for educational purposes. The findings reveal that the suggested formats and methods...
In this paper we evaluate the impact that a Computer Supported Collaborative Marking (CSCM) system has on the marking process of a highly subjective judging task. To do so, we evaluated the inter-rater reliability of reviewers in charge of marking written essays and the time required to perform such task. We analyzed the results of two groups of markers: the experimental group first marked 5 essays...
Sparse representation classifier (SRC) is a classical method for classification, which was proposed in 2009. SRC method boosted the research of sparse representation, based on SRC, many other new methods were also proposed, such as structured-sparse representation, collaborative representation optimized classifier (CROC), deformable sparse recovery and classification (DSRC) method, misalignment robust...
This paper describes the result of the work started in the first Cloud Computing session in WETICE 2009. During the last seven years, collaboration from participants in WETICE has resulted in a new computation model and a commercial product that advances the state of the art in infrastructure agnostic distributed application life-cycle quality of service management. In WETICE 2016, celebrating its...
