the pioneer work of image compression/reconstruction based onfuzzy relational equations (icf) and the related works are introduced. theicf regards an original image as a fuzzy relation by embedding the brightnesslevel into [0,1]. the compression/reconstruction of icf correspond to thecomposition/solving inverse problem formulated on fuzzy relational equations.optimizations of icf can be consequ...

There is a pervasive tendency in organizational studies to view acts of communication in terms of the individual agent. It is the individual who speaks, writes, gestures, and so on; it is the individual we credit for effective speaking, just as it is the individualís ineffective listening that invites discredit.

Labelled transition systems admit different but equivalent characterizations either as relational structures or coalgebras for the powerset functor, each of them with their own merits. Notions of simulation and bisimulation, for example, are expressed in the pointfree relational calculus in a very concise and precise way. On the other hand, the coalgebraic perspective regards processes as inhab...

Offshore outsourcing has facilitated exchange of knowledge and services with clients and suppliers situated in diverse economic markets.

Despite the increasing popularity of crowdsourcing, there is a lack of empirical research on appropriate governance mechanisms, particularly in a non-profit context. The alignment of stakeholder motivations in non-profit crowdsourcing initiatives is often unique and challenging. A better understanding of crowdsourcing governance including relational mechanisms, structures and processes for achi...
