Correctional agencies face increasing pressure to provide more services for increasing caseloads with fewer resources. The Level of Service Inventory-Revised (LSI-R) is a risk/need assessment instrument that was designed to assist correctional agencies in classifying offenders based upon risk of re-offending, thereby allowing agencies to assign appropriate levels of risk/need and develop interv...

The triptych approach to software engineering proceeds on the basis of carefully monitored and controlled possibly iterated progression through domain engineering and requirements engineering to software design. In this paper we will outline these three phases, show the many stages of development within each and also indicate the many steps within each stage. We will ever so briefly touch upon ...

This paper presents a model for organizing and assessing business process documentation with the aim of identifying gaps and inconsistencies. The proposed model – namely the Process Documentation Cube (PDC) – has been tested in six public sector organizations in Estonia – three of them with years of process modeling engagement and three others in early stages of process modeling adoption. In th...

During the last few years there has been considerable interest in software process assessment and improvement methods based on the Software Engineering Institute's(SEIs) pioneering work in this area. The emergence of a number of variations of the SEI's method suggests the need to standardise on an internationally approved method of software process assessment and improvement based on good manag...

Student involvement in their own assessment can add reflection and metacognition to the learning process. Based on this idea, an assessment instrument was developed to self-assess college students’ mathematical problem solving tasks. The main objective of this exercise is to improve student learning. The assessment instrument contains three items: student opinion questionnaire, an analytic eval...
