Management from the perspective of systems theory (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Andras, P., & Charlton, B. G. (2004). Management from the perspective of systems theory. In Proceedings of Practising Philosophy of Management

Usual management theories focus on phenomenological aspects of organisations and management. Abstract communication systems theory offers a different approach, which can be used to analyze social systems, uncover their internal logic and structure, a...

Scenario based generative component adaptation in .Net framework. (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wang, B. H. (., Liu, X., Kerridge, J., & Li, Y. (2004, November). Scenario based generative component adaptation in .Net framework

Mismatches between pre-quaZi$ed existing components and the particular reuse context in applicutions have been a major factor hindering component reusability. Although component adaptation has octed as a key solution of eliminating these mismatch... Read More about Scenario based generative component adaptation in .Net framework..
