Digital gaming continues to be an approach for enhancing methods of pedagogy. The study evaluates the effectiveness of a gaming product of a leading technology firm in engaging graduate students in an information systems course at a major northeast institution. Preliminary findings from a detailed perception survey of the students indicate favorably high improvement in learning of business proc...

MOTIVATION Cellular signaling networks are dynamic systems that propagate and process information, and, ultimately, cause phenotypical responses. Understanding the circuitry of the information flow in cells is one of the keys to understanding complex cellular processes. The development of computational quantitative models is a promising avenue for attaining this goal. Not only does the analysis...

Business Process Management (BPM) has evolved into an important field in Information Systems Research (ISR). While Information Technology (IT) has proven to be a strong driver for business process excellence and innovation, the successful implementation of BPM initiatives essentially depends on soft factors, such as culture in particular. In many cases, cultural aspects are in fact decisive to ...

Propagation based nite domain solvers provide a general mechanism for solving combinatorial problems. Diierent propagation methods can be used in conjunction by communicating through the domains of shared variables. The exibility that this entails has been an important factor in the success of propagation based solving for solving hard combinatorial problems. In this paper we investigate how li...

Despite its importance for rumors or innovations propagation, peer-to-peer collaboration, social networking, or marketing, the dynamics of information spreading is not well understood. Since the diffusion depends on the heterogeneous patterns of human behavior and is driven by the participants' decisions, its propagation dynamics shows surprising properties not explained by traditional epidemic...

BACKGROUND Modeling the influence of e-cigarette flavors on information propagation could provide quantitative policy decision support concerning smoking initiation and contagion, as well as e-cigarette regulations. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to characterize the influence of flavors on e-cigarette-related information propagation on social media. METHODS We collected a compreh...
