Participant Observation as a Research Methodology
Studies in Art Education, 1972Quite some years ago when I was teaching junior high literature we chanced to read an excerpt from a biography of Benjamin West entitled "The Fork in the Road." Briefly, the author recounted the sequence of events which led to West's Quaker community bestowing its blessing upon his choice of vocation.

Observations of Barroom Drinking; Methodology and Preliminary Results
Quarterly Journal of Studies on Alcohol, 1974Data from a field study of barroom behavior indicate that most people do not stay very long or consume many drinks in a bar, that the number of sips per drink is a reliable measure of drinking rate...

Observations of Fallibility in Applications of Modern Programming Methodologies
IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering, 1976Errors, inconsistencies, or confusing points are noted in a variety of published algorithms, many of which are being used as examples in formulating or teaching principles of such modern programming methodologies as formal specification, systematic construction, and correctness proving.

Methodological Sketch of Observer-Based Access Control
Proceedings of the 2nd international Conference on Big Data, Cloud and Applications, 2017Access control is an essential component for computer system securing. It accords a definition to the conditions of actions execution in a system by a user. Considering the diverse phases of an access control policy design and its effective application on a deployed system, several steps can introduce undesirable errors or flaws.

An Observational Methodology for Studying Group Design Activity
Research in Engineering Design, 1991A methodology for observing and analyzing group design activity is presented. This methodology is based on ethnographic and interaction analysis methods from the social sciences. Using it to study collaborative design activity leads to a descriptive analysis that identifies what resources the designers use and what obstacles they must overcome to ...

Observer design methodology for stochastic and deterministic robustness
International Journal of Control, 2008A unified observer with stochastic and deterministic robustness is developed in this paper so that an observer is less sensitive to both stochastic and deterministic uncertainties. For stochastic robustness, the norm of the observer gain and the lower bound of the observer decay rate are shown to be design factors which can minimize the upper bound of ...

Observing observations empirically: methodological innovations in applied sociocybernetics
Kybernetes, 1997Discusses the differences between systemic social research and conventional, non‐systemic empirical research. Outlines paradigmatically the major stages, methodological decisions and results of an empirical project. Focuses on intimate communication and AIDS prevention. Distinguishes four different intimate system types. These system types are shown to

A METHODOLOGY FOR INFERRING THE CAUSES OF OBSERVED IMPAIRMENTS IN AQUATIC ECOSYSTEMS
Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 2002Abstract Biological surveys have become a common technique for determining whether aquatic communities have been injured. However, their results are not useful for identifying management options until the causes of apparent injuries have been identified. Techniques for determining causation have been largely informal and ad hoc.

ORGANIZATION OF OBSERVATION AS A METHODOLOGICAL MODEL
Problems of Modern Education (Problemy Sovremennogo Obrazovaniya)The article considers observation from the point of view of its operational component – the organization of a specific series of activities aimed at achieving a predetermined goal. In the first part of the article, the main elements of observation as a cognitive activity are discussed in very general terms, in particular, the significance ...
