This paper presents a methodology for applying the elements of graph theory to modeling forensic investigations. This methodology uses well established principles of graph theory to model any forensic investigation and thus mathematically evaluate the elements of a case, including the probabilities associated with specific suspects

We describe the use of database dependency theory for investigating software designs. Dependency theory captures some of the essential constraints implicit in a system, and focuses attention on its update properties. The fundamental choice between redundancy and normalization is directly related to the issue of reuse. We show how dependency theory can be applied to the design of text editors an...

This article presents five principles of learning, derived from cognitive theory and supported by empirical results in cognitive psychology. To bridge the gap between theory and practice, each of these principles is transformed into a practical guideline and exemplified in a real teaching context. It is argued that this approach of putting cognitive theory into practice can offer several benefi...

Graph theory provides a substantial resource for a diverse range of quantitative and qualitative usability measures that can be used for evaluating recovery from error, informing design tradeoffs, probing topics for user training, and so on. Graph theory is a straight-forward, practical and flexible way to implement real interactive systems. Hence, graph theory complements other approaches to f...

A Requirements Engineering process must take account of the user, the nature of the work, the environment in which that work is carried out and the resources available to the user. Creativity work is essential when designing future systems but should be carefully linked to the lifecycle of the project. Use Cases and Scenario Authoring, though time consuming, provide benefits, both in completene...
