Although a number of frameworks exist for the evaluation of Adaptive Hypermedia Systems (AHS), recently suggested layered frameworks have proved useful in identifying the exact cause of the adaptation failure or any other error in the system. This paper presents an evaluation framework for AHS for internet which is an extension of the layered frameworks and adds new dimensions to them. It treat...

This paper proposes optimization frameworks for discrete road network design considering the land-use transport interaction over time. Unlike existing models, the optimization frameworks can determine the optimal designs automatically without trial-and-error once the objective(s) is/are clearly defined. Moreover, these frameworks allow the evaluation of the impacts of the optimal designs on the...

Object-oriented frameworks promise higher productivity and shorter time-to-market for the development of objectoriented applications. These goals are achieved through design and code reuse. While many projects show that these promises can be met, failed projects also show that they are not always easy to reach. This dissertation addresses three pertinent technical problems of designing, learnin...

Until recently, porous molecular solids were isolated curiosities with properties that were eclipsed by porous frameworks, such as metal-organic frameworks. Now molecules have emerged as a functional materials platform that can have high levels of porosity, good chemical stability, and, uniquely, solution processability. The lack of intermolecular bonding in these materials has also led to new,...

Suppose we consider extensibility as an important characteristic of frameworks, the discussion continued. Then we can go even farther back and view operating systems as the first frameworks since they are extended by applications. As many operating system implementations lack any objectoriented flavor, SketchPad was proposed as a candidate deserving the honor of being the first object-oriented ...

In this paper we investigate the issue of resource matching between jobs and machines in Intel’s compute farm. We show that common heuristics such as Best-Fit and Worse-Fit may fail to properly utilize the available resources when applied to either cores or memory in isolation. In an attempt to overcome the problem we propose Mix-Fit, a heuristic which attempts to balance usage between resource...

This study investigated how a job seeker self-presentation affects recruiter’s hiring recommendations in an online communities and what categories of self-presentation contribute to fit perceptions for obtaining hiring recommendations. The study participants viewed potential candidates’ LinkedIn profiles and responded to questions regarding the argument quality and source credibility of their s...

− The comparison of three different algorithms for the estimation of parameters of two sine signals with common frequency is presented. The algorithms are the ellipse fit, the seven parameter sine fit and the spectral sinc fit. The comparison includes signal to noise ratio analysis, amplitude analysis and phase difference analysis.
