From Telco to Techno: Outsourcing Transitioning in Information Systems

The global phenomenon of the IS/IT outsourcing continues to grow in importance. IS/IT outsourcing presents business challenges to both outsourcers and vendors alike. While the foundation of IS/IT outsourcing is ostensibly the transfer of financial and structural capital and vendor responsibilities, important issues remain about knowledge transfer and intellectual capital. Effective knowledge tr...

observational dynamical systems

چکیده در این پایاننامه ابتدا فضاهای متریک فازی را به صورت مشاهدهگرایانه بررسی میکنیم. فضاهای متریک فازی و توپولوژی تولید شده توسط این متریک معرفی شدهاند. سپس بر اساس فضاهایی که در فصل اول معرفی شدهاند آشوب توپولوژیکی، مینیمالیتی و مجموعههای متقاطع در شیوههای مختلف بررسی شده- اند. در فصل سوم مفهوم مجموعههای جاذب فازی به عنوان یک مفهوم پایهای در سیستمهای نیم-دینامیکی نسبی، تعریف شده است. ...

Optimizing question answering systems by Accelerated Particle Swarm Optimization (APSO)

One of the most important research areas in natural language processing is Question Answering Systems (QASs). Existing search engines, with Google at the top, have many remarkable capabilities. But there is a basic limitation (search engines do not have deduction capability), a capability which a QAS is expected to have. In this perspective, a search engine may be viewed as a semi-mechanized QA...

Time to Shift from Systems Thinking-Talking to Systems Thinking-Action; Comment on “Constraints to Applying Systems Thinking Concepts in Health Systems: A Regional Perspective from Surveying Stakeholders in Eastern Mediterranean Countries”

A recent International Journal of Health Policy and Management (IJHPM) article by Fadi El-Jardali and colleagues makes an important contribution to the literature on health system strengthening by reporting on a survey of healthcare stakeholders in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) about Systems Thinking (ST). The study’s main contributions are its confirmation that healthcare stakeholde...
