The current study utilized a prospective design to examine the associations of self-criticism and self-oriented perfectionism with goal progress. The results corroborated previous findings demonstrating a negative association between self-criticism and self-reported goal progress when self-oriented perfectionism was controlled, and a positive association between self-oriented perfectionism and ...

This paper describes how object-oriented software construction principles allow to develop extensible and reusable building blocks for the development of data flow based visual languages. First we’ll present the data flow visual language ProtoHyperflow whose object-oriented realization is discussed in the second part of the paper.

Companies collaborating to develop new products need to implement an effective management of their design processes (DPs). Unfortunately, PLM systems dedicated to support design activities are not efficient as it might be expected. DPs are changing, emergent and non deterministic whereas PLM systems based on workflow technology don’t support process flexibility. So, needs in terms of flexibilit...

The efficient provision of integrated product-service bundles requires the cooperating partners’ information systems (IS) to be able to exchange production and customer master data. We reply to this problem by presenting a service-oriented architecture (SOA) based approach for connecting partners within product-service systems (PSS). The research question addressed in this paper is: Which are t...

Many video processing algorithms rely on optical flow to register different frames within a sequence. However, a precise estimation of optical flow is often neither tractable nor optimal for a particular task. In this paper, we propose taskoriented flow (TOFlow), a flow representation tailored for specific video processing tasks. We design a neural network with a motion estimation component and...

This paper contributes to the investigation of object-sensitive information flow properties for sequential Java, i.e., properties that take into account information leakage through objects, as opposed to primitive values. We present two improvements to a popular object-sensitive noninterference property. Both reduce the burden on analysis and monitoring tools. The second contribution is a forma...

In several applications of network flows, additional constraints have to be considered. In this paper, we study flows, where the flow particles have an orientation. For example, cargo containers with doors only on one side and train coaches with 1st and 2nd class compartments have such an orientation. If the end position has a mandatory orientation, not every path from source to sink is feasibl...

Inventory models in which the demand rate dependents on the stock- dependent are based on the common real- life observation that greater product availability tends to stimulate more sales. In this study we develop an inventory model to determine an optimal ordering policy for quantity dependent demand rate and time dependent holding cost items with delay in payments permitted by the supplier un...

The development of tourism is based on flow and studying a network can help to elucidate its mechanism operation. Transportation the path realize spatial displacement flow. This study used “Tencent migration” big data explore distribution characteristics rules in China, providing suggestions for tourism. results demonstrate that 361 cities studied be divided into three types: destination-orient...

Abstract. Service aggregation is one of the main issues in the emerging area of service-oriented computing. The aim of this paper is to contribute to the long-term objective of lifting service aggregation from manual hand-crafting to a semi-automated engineered process. We present a methodology which, given a set of service contracts, tries to construct an aggregation of such services. Service ...
