Personalization or computer-tailoring refers to the adaptation of the output of a persuasive technological system to the individual. To be able to produce the tailored persuasive output, individual characteristics must be known to the computer system, for example, through sensors, data-bases, or self-report questionnaires. This information is used to compose a personalized output on the basis o...

Message tailoring is a promising innovative approach to persuasive communication that involves designing messages to meet a person's psychological, behavioral and/or demographic characteristics. Although the tailored intervention literature has many strengths, a weakness is inconsistency in reporting information related to intervention development, implementation and evaluation. The objective o...

As processes are one of the salient tools to attain schedule, cost, scope, and quality objectives, tailoring of processes with respect to unique characteristics of projects and contingency approaches of organizations happens to be an important factor regarding the success of projects. In this experience paper, general information is given about TUBITAK (The Scientific and Technological Research...

This note introduces re:mix, an infrastructure for presenting tailored web applications as services. How can users most effectively tailor this web content for mobile consumption? Currently, there are two approaches to tailoring web interfaces: in-browser extensions and programmable proxies. Browser extensions facilitate direct-manipulation tailoring, leverage the massive browser-based develope...

'Tailoring' refers to any of a number of methods for creating communications individualized for their receivers, with the expectation that this individualization will lead to larger intended effects of these communications. Results so far have been generally positive but not consistently so, and this paper seeks to explicate tailoring to help focus future research. Tailoring involves either or ...

BACKGROUND Effective interventions are needed to reduce neurobehavioral impairments in children due to maternal alcohol use during pregnancy. Currently, health-counseling interventions have shown inconsistent results to reduce prenatal alcohol use. Thus, more research using health counseling is needed to gain more knowledge about the effectiveness of this type of intervention on reducing alcoho...

Tailorability is generally regarded as a key requirement for groupware applications. In this paper, we will focus on a specific class of tailoring activities: the definition of different system behaviour for specific scopes of validity. Since the state of the art in the CSCW literature does not yet offer any satisfactory solutions to support users in performing this class of tailoring activitie...

Structurally diverse polyketides provide a rich reservoir of bioactive molecules. Actinorhodin, a model aromatic polyketide, is synthesized by minimal type II polyketide synthase and tailoring enzymes. The ActIII actinorhodin ketoreductase is a key tailoring enzyme in actinorhodin biosynthesis. With purified antibodies against actinorhodin polyketide synthase alpha subunit (KSalpha) and ketored...

We discuss a novel approach to control bifurcations in nonlinear systems. The aim of bifurcation tailoring is to design an appropriate control law such that the controlled system has a desired bifurcation diagram. After describing two open-loop bifurcation tailoring techniques, this paper proposes two alternative modified bifurcation tailoring methods based on the use of the Newton-flow algorit...

Component-based software can be used to build highly tailorable and therefore flexible software systems. To support end-users when tailoring or even developing their applications themselves different approaches were discussed. This papers describes an interactive integrity check as a support for end-user development or tailoring. It is based on the idea that developers can describe the “right” ...
