In the π-calculus [MPW92], activeness is the ability to get in contact with a process through a particular channel, and responsiveness is the ability to conduct a conversation, or session, through that channel. The latter is of course strongly dependent on the type of the channel. These have been widely studied concepts, dating back from Sangiorgi’s receptiveness [San99], and closely related to...

This paper makes an attempt to analyze the Activeness of a Distributed Object Oriented Component Library (DOOCL) and develops a software metric called Distributed Component Activeness Quotient(DCAQ) which is defined as the degree of readiness of a DOOCL. The advantages of the DCAQ include a possible comparison between various DOOCL’s leading to selection of the best DOOCL for use during the dev...

The paper describes a prototype decision support/expert system for contractor prequalification, CP-DSS. The system firstly evaluates contractors' capabilities according to the project specific criteria. It then identifies any risk that may be caused by contractors. Finally, contractors are appraised according to their likely performance, management capability, reputation, resources, progress, c...

• Autonomy: it can operate without direct, continuous supervision. • Collaboration: it is able to interact with other agents and possibly with external entities. • Reactivity: it has perceptions of its world and reacts to changes in this world (events) in a timely, quasi realtime fashion. • Pro-activeness: its behaviour is not exclusively reactive but is also driven by internal goals, that is, ...

A prototype decision support/expert system for contractor prequalification, CP-DSS, is described. The system firstly evaluates contractors' capabilities according to project specific criteria. It then identifies any risks that may be caused by contractors. Finally, contractors are appraised according to their likely performance, management capability, reputation, resources, progress, competitiv...

Model of active and collaborative learning applied in training specific subject makes clear advantage due to the goals of knowledge, enhanced activeness, skills that students got to develop successful future job. Studying and applying the model to build a learning environment in the Introductory Physics course with the support of ICT, especially social network and eLearning system of HNUE.

Activeness and concept understanding during limited face-to-face learning needs to be studied. This study is reviewed from the activeness, understanding, student outcome through Think Pair Share model with several actions. Classroom action research a qualitative approach was carried out on public junior high school at Pasuruan, Indonesia 16 grade 8 students as subject. The instruments of this w...
