A Critique of Software Defect Prediction Models

by Norman E. Fenton, Martin Neil - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON SOFTWARE ENGINEERING , 1999
"... Many organizations want to predict the number of defects (faults) in software systems, before they are deployed, to gauge the likely delivered quality and maintenance effort. To help in this numerous software metrics and statistical models have been developed, with a correspondingly large literatur ..."

Cyberinfrastructure: Empowering a ”Third Way

by Kenneth H. Buetow - in Biomedical Research, Science Magazine , 2005
"... Biomedicine has experienced explosive growth, fueled in parts by the substantial increase of government support, continued development of the biotechnology industry, and the increasing adoption of molecular-based medicine. At its core, it is composed of fiercely independent, innovative, entrepreneur ..."

, entrepreneurial individuals, organizations, and institutions. The field has developed unprecedented capacity to characterize biologic systems at their most fundamental levels with the use of tools and technologies almost unimaginable a generation ago. Biomedicine is at the precipice of unlocking the very essence

Collaborative Filtering Recommender Systems

by J. Ben Schafer, Dan Frankowski, Jon Herlocker, Shilad Sen , 2007
"... One of the potent personalization technologies powering the adaptive web is collaborative filtering. Collaborative filtering (CF) is the process of filtering or evaluating items through the opinions of other people. CF technology brings together the opinions of large interconnected communities on ..."

on the web, supporting filtering of substantial quantities of data. In this chapter we introduce the core concepts of collaborative filtering, its primary uses for users of the adaptive web, the theory and practice of CF algorithms, and design decisions regarding rating systems and acquisition of ratings. We

From monkey-like action recognition to human language: an evolutionary framework for neurolinguistics

by Michael A. Arbib - BEHAVIORAL AND BRAIN SCIENCES , 2005
"... The article analyzes the neural and functional grounding of language skills as well as their emergence in hominid evolution, hypothesizing stages leading from abilities known to exist in monkeys and apes and presumed to exist in our hominid ancestors right through to modern spoken and signed languag ..."

of this progression is the mirror system for grasping and its extension to permit imitation. Imitation is seen as evolving via a so-called simple system such as that found in chimpanzees (which allows imitation of complex "object-oriented" sequences but only as the result of extensive practice) to a so

End-to-End Cyberinfrastructure for Decision-Making Support in Watershed Management

by unknown authors
"... Abstract: Over the past decade, water-centric research has increasingly taken into consideration the interactions between the water cycle and the social, economic, and biogeophysical processes that drive watershed dynamics. In parallel, water management has made great strides in data sharing and col ..."

This paper illustrates an implementation of an end-to-end CI system for understanding of the ecological threats, shifts in soil conservation practices, and public perception of environmental health with preservation of the economic benefits of agricultural

Searching for the structure of coping: A review and critique of category systems for classifying ways of coping

by Ellen A. Skinner, Kathleen Edge, Jeffrey Altman, Hayley Sherwood - Psychological Bulletin , 2003
"... From analyzing 100 assessments of coping, the authors critiqued strategies and identified best practices for constructing category systems. From current systems, a list of 400 ways of coping was compiled. For constructing lower order categories, the authors concluded that confirmatory factor analysi ..."

A user-centric evaluation framework for recommender systems

by Li Chen, Pearl Pu - In RecSys ’11 , 2011
"... This paper explores the evaluation issues of recommender systems particularly from users ’ perspective. We first show results of literature surveys on human psychological decision theory and trust building in online environments. Based on the results, we propose an evaluation framework aimed at asse ..."

at assessing a recommender’s practical ability in providing decision support benefits to end-users from various aspects. It includes both accuracy/effort measures and a user-trust model of subjective constructs, and a corresponding sample questionnaire design. Author Keywords Recommender systems, user

The IEEE Recommended Practices for Architectural

by J. Tyree
"... Using ontology to support development of software architectures In this paper we propose an approach to software development that focuses on architecture decisions and involves the use of ontology. In this approach the architecture is captured by an instance of an ontology. The ontology has four maj ..."

Designing Support to Participation in Communities of Practice through Recommender Systems

by Maria Teresa, A. Gouvêa, Programa De Informática
"... Communities of practice have been adopted by many organizations to promote collaborative learning and sharing of knowledge. Although various applications have been built to support this learning process, they fail to deal with one of the main problem: keeping users interacting and exchanging relevan ..."

Therefore, we claim the recommendations as a type of loyalty mechanism. The design of the collaborative environment TeamWorks is presented, illustrating our proposal. 1.
