In this paper we shall present a further development of a previously published theory concerning opinion influence processes in social groups (7). This further development has enabled us to extend the theory to deal with other areas, in addition to opinion formation, in which social comparison

with before the theory can be fully applied to real-world job design problems. First, means must be developed for measuring current levels of activation of individuals in actual work settings (cf. Thayer, 1967), and for assessing the "optimal level" of activation for different individuals. Until

A temporal database (see Temporal Database) contains time-varying data. Time is an important aspect of all real-world phenomena. Events occur at specific points in time; objects and the relationships among objects exist over time. The ability to model this temporal dimension of the real world

Video provides an excellent example of realtime embedded systems. Video systems actually cover a range of media, including image, audio, and text. Video systems require processing streaming data in real time. Data must be processed at a wide variety of rates. Consumer media devices must also mix

This approach is examined within the context of two major media-based projects, one which uses computers and the other video. The article discusses the implications

The participants in experiments in which a physical stimulus is varied generally provide profiles that are similar, both in level and in shape, and that respond
