چکیده
Previous research shows that organization architecture relates to the architecture of a product under development, and recent studies compare proprietary versus open source software (OSS) as examples of integrated and distributed forms of software development, respectively. This study goes a step further to investigate the correspondence of organization and product architectures by comparing single-vendor with community OSS. Using a problem-solving perspective, the authors seek to explain when and why vendor firms use a community to solve their problems. Furthermore, the combination of literature-based insights with field interviews supports an exploration of the assumption that single-vendor OSS exhibits a less modular product architecture than community OSS. With design structure matrices, this study analyzes differences in software code architecture and specifies the studied relationship.

This paper looks at the experience of teaching on a module where problem-solving is taught first, then programming. The main tools for the problemsolving part, alongside two problem-solving approaches, are tasks based on using Mindstorm (LEGO, Denmark) robot kits. This is being done as a foundation step before the syntax of a language (Java) is taught. Results of student evaluation will be pres...

This paper aims to present a cultural analysis of collaborative technologies in the workplace. It examines gender-segregated work in Saudi-Arabia, and presents two contrasting cases of IT usage that act either to enable or constrain cultural change. Using Structuration Theory, the study exemplifies the dynamic and detailed analysis this lens can provide to cultural IS research. The study also e...
متن کاملOn weakly $mathfrak{F}_{s}$-quasinormal subgroups of finite groups
Let $mathfrak{F}$ be a formation and $G$ a finite group. A subgroup $H$ of $G$ is said to be weakly $mathfrak{F}_{s}$-quasinormal in $G$ if $G$ has an $S$-quasinormal subgroup $T$ such that $HT$ is $S$-quasinormal in $G$ and $(Hcap T)H_{G}/H_{G}leq Z_{mathfrak{F}}(G/H_{G})$, where $Z_{mathfrak{F}}(G/H_{G})$ denotes the $mathfrak{F}$-hypercenter of $G/H_{G}$. In this paper, we study the structur...
متن کاملThe influence of S-embedded subgroups on the structure of finite groups
Let H be a subgroup of a group G. H is said to be S-embedded in G if G has a normal T such that HT is an S-permutable subgroup of G and H ∩ T ≤ H sG, where H denotes the subgroup generated by all those subgroups of H which are S-permutable in G. In this paper, we investigate the influence of minimal S-embedded subgroups on the structure of finite groups. We determine the structure the finite grou...
متن کاملOn the nilpotency class of the automorphism group of some finite p-groups
Let $G$ be a $p$-group of order $p^n$ and $Phi$=$Phi(G)$ be the Frattini subgroup of $G$. It is shown that the nilpotency class of $Autf(G)$, the group of all automorphisms of $G$ centralizing $G/ Fr(G)$, takes the maximum value $n-2$ if and only if $G$ is of maximal class. We also determine the nilpotency class of $Autf(G)$ when $G$ is a finite abelian $p$-group.
