This study explores the relationship between organizational control modes (behavior, outcome, and clan) and software quality. Much of the previous work on organizational control has examined the choice of modes given task characteristics. This research extends work in control theory by considering the impact of control modes on the increasingly critical organizational outcome of software qualit...

Software documentation represents a critical resource to the successful functioning of many enterprises. However, because it is static, documentation often fails to meet the needs of the many diverse users who are required to consult it on a regular basis in the course of their daily work. Software documentation is a rich resource that has not been fully exploited. Treatment of software documen...

An e ective approach to program understanding involves browsing, exploring, and creating views that document software structures at multiple levels of abstraction. While exploring the many relationships in a multi-million line legacy software system, one can easily lose context. One approach to alleviate this problem is to visualize these structures using sheye-view techniques. This chapter int...

abstract rockfill dams are a type of hydraulic control structures used to protect river bed in cases where a considerable reservoir volume is available behind these structures; it could mitigate the floods and provide a gradual depletion of incoming volume of water so that the discharge passing downstream is decreased. one of the main issues on utilizing rockfill dams is to keep its permeabilit...

The present work demonstrates the successful application of a simple active vibration control procedure based on structural dynamics. Based on mathematical and structural dynamics’ theories, the appropriate locations of sensor and actuator locations of the smart structure are predicted. Also, the optimum value of actuator force which controls the structural vibrations as quickly as it is possib...
