Applying Formal Methods to Process Innovation
2009Continuous improvement of the software processes, including both production and maintenance, is a necessary condition to ensure fundamental software quality. An improvement opportunity comes from the availability of innovative process components to be integrated in a working software process.

Innovations in cytometry methods and technology
Cytometry Part A, 2011of existing methods and development ofnew techniques for upcoming biomedical problems are thecorner stones of scientific discovery. In many cases, these inno-vations are question driven. However, in other cases, the tech-nical advances are the driving force and lay the foundation fornew discoveries.

Innovative Instructional Methods
Legal Reference Services Quarterly, 2007SUMMARY Academic law librarians must teach law students the legal-research skills they will need both now and in the future. Furthermore, legal-research instruction should be consistent with a variety of learning styles in order to help all students learn more effectively and efficiently.

Innovative Methods in Evaluation
American Journal of Evaluation, 2017Traditional methods of evaluation are limited in their ability to answer key questions often of interest to process evaluators, such as heterogeneity in the ways individuals adopt new programs. In this article, we demonstrate how a statistical approach, Latent Class Analysis, can help improve the quality of process evaluations and illustrate its use in

Innovative construction methods
Construction Management and Economics, 1994The construction industry is relatively slow in developing and adopting new technologies and usually prefers conservative, well-known practices over innovative construction methods. The paper discussus the logic and reasons behind this behaviour, while pointing to special circumstances in recent history when the balance between risk and benefits tilted

Futures Methods for Innovation
2013In the previous chapter, I have reviewed thoughts related to innovation. In the following, I will review practical examples on how the methods of future anticipation and weak signals in particular can be used as tools for innovation. In my view, the purpose of these methods is, as of anticipation in general, to help us open our eyes and to see the ...

A penalty function identification of ARMA processes is to choose the orders minimizing $${\text{ln}}{\overset{\lower0.5em\hbox{$\smash{\scriptscriptstyle\smile}$}}{\sigma }}\mathop{{k,i + }}\limits^{2} (k + i)\frac{{C(T)}}{T}$$ among k = 0,…, K and i = 0,…, I. Here σ k,i 2 is an estimate of the innovation variance obtained by fitting the ARMA(k,
