This study developed a model oriented to organizational integrity in services small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). A systemic approach was adopted articulate methodologies as follows: A) We used the soft systems methodology frame problem formulate conceptual model. B) Partial least squares path modeling applied validate construct statistically. C) The viable system realign interactions wi...

Entirely programmed in EDUEL. AIM consists of a batch component for periodic integrity control and an interactive component which provides an instantaneOUS semantic control mechanism at the user interface. For certain simple updates AIM implements a prevention strategy, whereas, in particular detection and recovery strategy is and dynamic integrity constraints the basis of DUEL qualifications. ...

A major challenge in software security is preserving software integrity. Traditionally, this problem is addressed through the development of software (self-) checking techniques that verify the integrity of its code and execution. Unfortunately, no satisfactory solutions for run-time verification of software integrity have been presented. In this paper, we approach the problem of run-time softw...

We view match as an operator that takes two graph-like structures (e.g., classifications, XML schemas) and produces a mapping between the nodes of these graphs that correspond semantically to each other. Semantic matching is based on two ideas: (i) we discover mappings by computing semantic relations (e.g., equivalence, more general); (ii) we determine semantic relations by analyzing the meanin...

Interpretation of artificial intelligence on the base of the philosophical fictionalism allowed discussing the educational technologies in the context of conditions for strengthening of discursive power of pupils’ thought. The artificial intelligence received broad interpretation as an embodiment of a literary image, which did not have unambiguous link with the area of logical formalisms and ma...

In this thesis we prove the existence of m-armed spiral wave solutions for the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation in the circular and spherical geometries. Instead of applying the shooting method in the literature, we establish a functional approach and generalize the known results of existence for rigidly-rotating spiral waves. Moreover, we prove the existence of two new patterns: frozen spirals...

We investigate people’s attitudes towards the possible use of mobile negotiation support systems (NSS) in different social contexts and the consequences for their design. For that purpose we developed an online survey based on existing models of technology acceptance. In the questionnaire we showed five filmed scenarios of NSS use contexts. The data collected from 120 respondents, showed (a) th...

Sufficiency criteria are established to ensure the asymptotic stability and boundedness of solutions to third-order nonlinear delay differential equations of the form ... x (t) + e(x(t), ẋ(t), ẍ(t))ẍ(t) + g(x(t− r), ẋ(t− r)) + ψ(x(t− r)) = p(t, x(t), x(t − r), x(t), x(t− r), x(t)). By using Lyapunov’s functional approach, we obtain two new results on the subject, which include and improve some ...

Various researchers and policy analysts have made empirical studies of innovation systems in order to understand their current structure and trace their dynamics. However, policy makers often experience difficulties in extracting practical guidelines from studies of this kind. In this paper, we operationalize our previous work on a functional approach to analyzing innovation system dynamics int...
