This paper describes a validation experiment of a quantitative approach to the modularization of object oriented systems based on Cluster Analysis. A sample of some relatively large OO systems was used in this experiment. The similarity between classes was computed on the basis of their relative couplings, classified according to a taxonomy framework. The results allow to conclude on the applic...

Résumé. Dans de nombreux domaines (e.g., fouille de données, entrepôts de données), l’existence de hiérarchies sur certains attributs peut être extrêmement utile dans le processus analytique. Toutefois, cette connaissance n’est pas toujours disponible ou adaptée. Il est alors nécessaire de disposer d’un processus de découverte automatique pour palier ce problème. Dans cet article, nous combinon...

We reply to each of the issues raised by Schwartz in a commentary on our article on a comparison of value taxonomies. We discuss two approaches, mentioned in that commentary, the lexical approach and the theory-driven approach, especially with respect to their capacities in covering the domain of values and with respect to the representation of important values in a useful structure. We refute ...

Builders of groupware writing technologies need a better understanding of collaborative writing if their systems are to adequately address user needs. This paper presents a taxonomy of joint writing based on an analysis of interviews with authors who have written documents together. The taxonomy describes joint writing in terms of four components: roles played in the collaboration, activities p...

This paper outlines the educational advantages provided by adaptive systems and stresses the importance of the user model in the task of adaptation. The paper also establishes a general taxonomy of user models thereby enabling classification of any model according to various features related to its structure and management. This taxonomy allows an exhaustive description of all user models, faci...

Attacks over the years have become both increasingly numerous and sophisticated. This paper focuses on the provisioning of a method for the analysis and categorisation of both computer and network attacks, thus providing assistance in combating new attacks, improving computer and network security as well as providing consistency in language when describing attacks. Such a taxonomy is designed t...

OBJECTIVES: To better understand how human error contributes to U.S. Navy diving accidents. BACKGROUND: An analysis of 263 U.S. Navy diving accident and mishap reports revealed that the human factors classification were not informative for further analysis, and 70% of mishaps were attributed to unknown causes; only 23% were attributed to human factors. METHOD: Five diving fatality reports were ...
