Community-Sourcing in Virtual Societies

Branzov, Todor (2016)

Serdica Journal of Computing

Similarity:

The paper studies the approaches to development of goods with active participation of virtual community members. The concept of community-sourcing is presented as an alternative to the open source model and crowdsourcing. On that foundation a conceptual model of resource management system that use some current good practices of the IT industry is proposed. Results obtained in a virtual community implementing the model are presented as a validation attempt. ACM Computing Classification...

The Notion of Model in Software Engineering Понятието модел в софтуерните технологии

Sredkov, Miloslav (2011)

Union of Bulgarian Mathematicians

Similarity:

Милослав A. Средков - Понятията модел и моделиране се използват толкова интензивно в много дисциплини, че е трудно да им се придаде конретно значение. Дори в Софтуерните технологии, разбирането на тези понятия силно зависи от контекста. Ние смятаме, че това допринася за неконсистентността между подходите за моделиране там. В тази статия посочваме някои от произтичащите проблеми, както и важността да има подходяща дефиниция, съчетана с подходящи инструменти. Преглеждаме по-общите дефиниции...

Using normal mode analysis in teaching mathematical modeling to biology students

D. A. Kondrashov (2011)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Similarity:

Linear oscillators are used for modeling a diverse array of natural systems, for instance acoustics, materials science, and chemical spectroscopy. In this paper I describe simple models of structural interactions in biological molecules, known as elastic network models, as a useful topic for undergraduate biology instruction in mathematical modeling. These models use coupled linear oscillators to model the fluctuations of molecular structures around the equilibrium state. I present many...

Drugs in the Classroom: Using Pharmacokinetics to Introduce Biomathematical Modeling

G. A. Koch-Noble (2011)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Similarity:

Pharmacokinetics is an excellent way to introduce biomathematical modeling at the sophomore level. Students have the opportunity to develop a mathematical model of a biological phenomenon to which they all can relate. Exploring pharmacokinetics takes students through the necessary stages of mathematical modeling: determining the goals of the model, deciphering between the biological aspects to include in the model, defining the assumptions of the model, and finally, building, analyzing,...

Educating Mathematics and Science Students in Urban USA and Sub-Saharan Africa - Lessons Learned and Future Challenges

Friedman, Edward (2015)

Serdica Journal of Computing

Similarity:

This essay focuses on the challenges of implementing effective mathematics and science programs in in secondary schools in urban America and Sub-Saharan Africa. A successful approach for meeting these challenges is considered which has first been introduced by the New Jersey Center for Teaching and Learning. This approach is based on maximizing the connections between mathematics and science, on developing an open-source software containing the entire curriculum and loading it into a...
