The necessity of lifelong learning is more and more recognized. Therefore, improvement of learning is very important. The process capability maturity modeling elaborated by the Software Engineering community could be employed for this purpose. This paper contributes to the solution of learning improvement problem based on process quality attributes modeling approach. The consciousness as a lear...

Analyzing software process models to predict the behavior of software processes helps in planning and enacting software projects. Since software processmodels can capture the key information that is necessary to assessprocessrelated risks, this paper discusses how approaches for software process analysis may be applied to software risk assessment. A characterization scheme for process analysis ...

This communication introduces a comprehensive theory for process security assessment. The theory can quickly provide mathematically proven upper and lower bounds on minimum time to disaster (the time disaster conditions will be reached in worst-case scenarios). Computational efficiency and reliability are achieved by performing process security assessment based on a time-derivative–based approa...

Traditional data mining techniques have been extensively applied to find interesting patterns, build descriptive and predictive models from large volumes of data accumulated through the use of different information systems. The results of data mining can be used for getting a better understanding of the underlying educational processes, for generating recommendations and advice to students, for...

Why business impact assessment? The reason that the business impact assessment (BIA) element of the business continuity planning (BCP) methodology takes on such significance is that it sets the stage for shaping a business-oriented judgment concerning the appropriation of resources for recovery planning efforts. Our experiences in this area have shown that, all too often, recovery alternative d...

  Introduction: The term dynamic assessment (DA) refers to an assessment, by an active teaching process, of a child's perception, learning, thinking, and problem solving. The process is aimed at modifying an individual's cognitive functioning and observing subsequent changes in learning and problem-solving patterns within the testing situation. DA has been advocated as an alternative and/or sup...

Effectively assessing children's dietary intake is essential for understanding the complex relationships among dietary behaviours and obesity. Dietary assessment accuracy decreases when children are unable or unmotivated to complete accurate self-reports. Technology-based assessment instruments for children's self-report of diet can be enhanced in light of developments in media psychology and c...
