Extending the Appraisal Tendency Framework to Improve Health and Healthcare

The growth of a robust body of research examining emotions and decision-making (Lerner, Li, Valdesolo, & Kassim, 2015) and an unprecedented societal focus on behavioral prevention of disease suggests that now is the time to leverage emotion science to improve health and health care. Extending the appraisal tendency framework (Lerner & Keltner, 2000), we predict how emotions may interact with si...

General Purpose Work Flow Languages General Purpose Work Flow Languages *

Work ow management requires language support for work ow speciication and task speciication. Many approaches and systems for work ow managementtherefore ooer at least one new language for work ow speciication; task speciication is usually done in a traditional language. This is motivated in particular by the fact that many components already exist and the task of the work ow tool is the speciic...

General-Purpose Autonomic Computing

The success of mainstream computing is largely due to the widespread availability of general-purpose architectures and of generic approaches that can be used to solve real-world problems cost-effectively and across a broad range of application domains. In this chapter, we propose that a similar generic framework is used to make the development of autonomic solutions cost effective, and to estab...
