with regard to competitive advantage complexity and specific characteristics of high tech industries, in this research by a cognitive mapping methodology we develop a qualitative model for interpreting the competitive advantage in company level for high tech industries. in first, after describing the research problem, we present a comparative review of four recent theories of firm and competiti...

In this paper, we present an approach to determining the cognitive complexity of justifications for entailments of OWL ontologies. We introduce a simple cognitive complexity model and present the results of validating that model via experiments involving OWL users. The validation is based on test data derived from a large and diverse corpus of naturally occurring justifications. Our contributio...

Various measures of software complexity have been proposed over the years. More recently, cognitive complexity measures of software have been proposed as a complement to other more widely adopted measures that are primarily based on physical size and/or a systematic analysis of code. Many of these cognitive measures consider the notion of cognitive weight to be an integral part of code comprehe...

A theoretical framework to conceptualize measure of behaviour complexity (BC), system complexity (SC) and task complexity (TC) was developed. From this framework cognitive complexity (CC) is derived as CC = SC + TC BC. In an empirical study to investigate different measures of cognitive complexity 6 beginners and 6 experts solved 4 different tasks with an interactive database management system....

The concept of complexity is used in many areas of computer science and software engineering. Software complexity metrics can be used to evaluate and compare quality of software development and maintenance processes and their products. Complexity management and measurement is especially important in novel programming technologies and paradigms, such as aspect-oriented programming, generative pr...

Measuring the complexity of software has been an insoluble problem in software engineering. Complexity measures can be used to predict critical information about testability, reliability, and maintainability of software systems from automatic analysis of the source code. During the past few years, many complexity measures have been invented based on the emerging Cognitive Informatics discipline...
