Object-oriented software complexity is difficult to assess due to its manifold influences from cognition science or algorithmic complexity theory. A practical process for a structured complexity assessment is presented in this paper. It starts with considerations for measurement and data preparation. Using mathematical transformation techniques, independent complexity metrics are gained. With t...

In this study, we empirically explore how task performance and domain-specific self-efficacy influence the perceived ease of use (PEU) of object-oriented techniques. We hypothesize that both self-efficacy and performance positively influences PEU according to existing literature. However, we speculate that the effect of self-efficacy on PEU, even though still positive, becomes weaker when subje...

Distributed applications are realized by cooperation of multiple objects. Each object is manipulated through a method supported by the object and then the method may further invoke methods of other objects. Purpose-oriented access rules indicate what methods in objects can invoke methods of other objects. Information flow among the objects occurs if the requests and responses of the methods car...

This paper investigates the problem of the labelling of the library, documentation and information field with particular emphasis on the terms ‘information’ and ‘document’. What influences introduced the concept of ‘information’ into the library field in the middle of the twentieth century? What kind of theoretical orientations have dominated the field, and how are these orientations linked to ...

This study aims at empirically furthering awareness of the organization of interaction in EFL classes. Informed by the methodological framework of conversation analysis, it draws upon a corpus of 52 three-hour naturally-occurring classroom interaction to identify classroom interactional contexts based on the structuring of the pedagogic goals in turn-taking sequences. Conversation analytic proc...

Early childhood education and care (ECEC) institutions play an important role in many young children’s lives. Child-oriented research about the of physical ECEC environment is scarce. The present study aims to develop knowledge what children consider crucial elements environment. Seventy-one (3–6 years old) were interviewed gain insight into their perspectives on This indicates that desire a wi...

Magnetic properties of electrical steel are usually measured on Single Sheet Testers, Epstein frames or ring cores. Due to the geometric dimensions and measurement principles these standardized setups, fundamental microstructural influences magnetic behavior, e.g., deformation structures, crystal orientation grain boundaries, difficult separate quantify. In this paper, a miniaturized Tester is ...

this article presents a novel method and development paradigm that proposes a general template for an enterprise information structure and allows for the automatic generation and modification of enterprise workflows. this dynamically integrated workflow development approach utilises a conceptual ontology of domain processes and tasks, enterprise charts, and enterprise entities. it also suggests...
