When digital media is perceived only as a tool to deliver content the potential for using its affordances to explore meaning is lost. Rather than seeing media only as an access point, we can view it as a way to enhance the expressiveness of content. Today blogs, wikis, messaging, mash-ups, and socia ...

In general there are three different techniques for performance evaluation of systems and networks: mathematical analysis, measurements, and computer simulation. All these techniques have their strength and weaknesses. In the literature there are plenty of discussions about when to use which techniq ...

The serious study of the practice of how to determine the appropriate content of a specification is a seldom-appreciated pastime. Those who have the responsibility to design a product would prefer a greater degree of freedom than permitted by the con- tent of a specification. Many of those who would ...
