As an example the popular \"Concentration\" board game was implemented as a Java applet that permits the teacher to define the underlying tasks independently in XML form based on an expressive grammar. The tasks can be accumulated within a database and lessons can be defined through filtering the database based on keywords, difficulty levels and other task attributes. Preliminary experience indicates that such a game can not only replace regular exams, but also be employed as a learning tool without sacrificing its appeal as a game. To help clarify the students' user models the game will be augmented by an \"observer\" module that records all the student interactions and an \"analyzer\" module that displays graphs summarizing the interactions.","PeriodicalId":201648,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 34th Annual Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131459078","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus the problem of interoperability arises when accessing existing data stores. A generalized version of this problem is called an impedance mismatch problem that arises when object oriented programs store objects in relational DBs. We describe a framework that hides the complexities associated with creating and accessing distributed objects that access DBs through SQL queries. An application programmer (developer) needs only to specify the set query and select the DB and its driver. Access to the data is provided through an automatically generated application program interface (API) in the selected language. Access to a DB server is through a distributed object implemented using either CORBA or DCOM, as specified by the developer.","PeriodicalId":201648,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 34th Annual Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131562371","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through links embedded in a web page, a user can browse virtually any digital resources in the world. Although these links are naturally interconnected and hierarchical, the browsing model is typically in linear and at any point of time only one-level of information can easily displayed in the whole hierarchy. For example, to browse a book, first the top-level information (say, table of contents) is downloaded and displayed. Click a chapter link to a specific chapter (the next-level information). Click back button to go back to the top-level. Click another chapter link to go to the next level of information. Click back button to go back to the top-level and so on. This paper describes a multi-level web surfing system that allows a user to display multi-level of information and browse at any level without losing the information of the current level. With the system, a user can select either a hint window displaying the extracts of a linked page when the mouse is over a link or a pop window showing the linked page when the mouse is over a link without clicking it.","PeriodicalId":201648,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 34th Annual Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131589831","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There is no agreement on a 'best way' to evaluate, on what and how to evaluate, who to involve, and within what paradigm to proceed. This paper argues that evaluation is a situated activity that requires a more interpretative approach, broadly based on hermeneutic principles. The paper reviews a number of guidelines and frameworks for evaluation presented in the medical and information systems literature, focusing on two related approaches: (1) the context, process and content framework, and (2) the structure, process and outcome framework. A synthesis of these were used in the case study described - the evaluation of an intranet pilot deployment within primary care. The literature review and research experience (including the case study) form the basis for a set of general recommendations that are presented in the conclusion.","PeriodicalId":201648,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 34th Annual Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126992501","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It may involve multiple issues of dispute, rules of negotiation, negotiators' strategies, interventions by third party, negotiators' cognitions, beliefs, preferences and attitude towards risks. Negotiators may have limited attention, limited capacity to store and retrieve memory information and limited capacity to process information. As a result they rely on heuristics or schemas and fail to generate optimal outcomes in negotiation. An approach to overcome cognitive limitation in negotiation is to provide additional support to store and retrieve memory information. This paper reiterates the conceptual framework of a computer supported negotiation memory support system (NMSS) and proposes a theoretical model of the influence of NMSS on negotiation outcome.","PeriodicalId":201648,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 34th Annual Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132111997","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Much of the research and development work in the area of Information Systems and Technology has been concerned with pushing the frontiers of hardware or software to make it faster, smaller, cheaper and more functional. There remain a wide variety of applications and application areas that are not accommodated within this schema. Indeed, there are also many people for whom \"access\" to such applications may be unavailable for any of a variety of reasons, such as cost, infrastructure, literacy, and attitudes, among others. CI takes into account the design of the social system within which the technology resides, as well as the technology system with which the social system interacts. Community Informatics (CI) as an approach begins with the perspective ICT can provide a set of resources and tools that individuals and communities can use, initially to provide \"access\" to information management and processing and thus with \"access\", to pursue their goals in such areas as local economic development, cultural affairs, civic activism, and community based health and environmental initiatives. Thus, a CI approach is concerned with both the technology and the \"user\" (and the \"uses\"); and with community processes, user access and technology usability as well as systems analysis and hardware or software design. In many respects CI is an extension of the \"socio-technical\" approach to systems design but shifting attention from the \"organization\" to the \"community\", and thus reflecting the increasingly widespread distribution of ICT access (PC's and Internet) and their use from organizations to individual end users and communities. The papers in this mini-track examine various aspects of Community Informatics as can be seen from the titles and authors:","PeriodicalId":201648,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 34th Annual Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences","volume":"99 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134218513","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is a measure of how far the actual output will deviate from the desired MW output. The approach also applies the Signal Processor Toolbox from Mathworks to derive a polynomial equation representing the transfer function relating the desired input to the actual output signal. The transfer function will be used to generate expected output responses for given desired input signals. These expected output responses are compared to the actual output responses for various types of transfer functions. This approach has been tested on nine different units supplied by PJM interconnection.","PeriodicalId":201648,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 34th Annual Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134220731","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such a property guarantees that the system will always return to and stay within a specified set of legal states within a bounded time regardless of its initial state. A self-stabilizing application therefore has the potential of recovering from the effects of arbitrary transient failures. However, to actually prove that an application self-stabilizes can be quite tedious with current verification methodologies and is non-trivial. The self-stabilizing property of distributed algorithms exhibits interesting analogies to the stabilizing feedback systems used in various engineering domains. In this paper, we show that methodologies from control theory can be used to more easily prove the self-stabilization property of distributed algorithms.","PeriodicalId":201648,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 34th Annual Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences","volume":"84 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133157755","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Notable examples include the Social Shaping of Technology (SST) tradition, which is based on social studies of science and technology (cf. Williams and Edge, 1995), the Tavistock Institute’s Socio-Technical Systems (STS) tradition, based on the analysis of work organization (cf. Mumford, 1997; 2000), and network-centric theories from sociologists such as Latour (1987) (actor-network theory, or ANT) and Castells (1996). Network-centric approaches are particularly well-suited for examining the social and technical dimensions of IT-enabled communication, such as those that occur via email, the Internet, intranets, electronic journals, and other collaborative communication technologies. Socio-technical networks can be conceptualized as the enactment of patterns of interaction and relationship which occur between individuals, within and between organizations and institutions, and through information and communications technologies which embed, and are embedded in interactions. In these heterogeneous arrangements, what is \"social\" and what is \"technical\" cannot be readily isolated in practice. In our view, socio-technical networks are fundamental to socio-technical studies, and information and communication technologies (ICTs) are necessary (but not sufficient) components of networked forms of social organization. The dynamics of these sociotechnical networks are known to play a critical role in a number of diverse transformations, such as those that diffuse knowledge, invention and innovation from university scientists to industry entrepreneurs (and vice-versa.) Informational environments also constrain and enable collaborative interactions in such settings, and may mitigate or amplify the influence of ICTs on barriers to collaboration. Research on the use of digital documents seems particularly apt for understanding the technical, geographic, social and economic dynamics that influence communications and collaborations within and among geographically and organizationally dispersed communities-of-practice.
