The roles of motivation and goals on sustainable behaviour in a resource dilemma: A self-determination theory perspective

Journal of Environmental Psychology, 2020
Environmental degradation and biodiversity loss are worldwide problems caused by human activities, which can often be classified as a resource dilemma. Across two studies, and using self-determination theory as a framework, we examine the relationships ...

Extremal principles and goal functions of biocenotic systems

Biophysics, 2012
A review considers known in the ecology two alternative principles of maximizing or minimizing the diversity-entropy of biological systems, and shows the inadequacy of both extremal principles in application to natural biocoenotic assemblages. A necessary condition for the multispecific system's existence is not extremization any of their parameters ...

Controlling Dynamical System to Variety of Goals

Communications in Theoretical Physics, 1998
A general method for controlling dynamical system to various desired goal dynamics is proposed. The convergent condition of the control is suggested analytically. A technique of introducing "transient" goal allows the control to be switched on at any time, and the system quickly conforms to the goal closely, almost without transient, resulting in only ...

Survey of design goals for operating systems

ACM SIGOPS Operating Systems Review, 1973
The paper reports the results of a literature search on the subject "design goals for operating systems." In addition, design goals of specific operating systems are reviewed and a general set of operating system design goals is developed. Special-purpose design goals and conflicts among design goals are also discussed.

Goal-Oriented Authoring Approach and Design of Learning Systems

2008
Since several years, a set of researches concerns process modeling of learning situations integrating digital technologies. Educational Modelling Languages (EML) have been carried out to provide interoperable descriptions of learning scenarios. In order to generalize the use of EML, it is necessary to provide authoring environments allowing users to ...

Goals of the engineering information systems project

Digest of Papers. COMPCON Spring 88 Thirty-Third IEEE Computer Society International Conference, 1988
An engineering information system (EIS) is described that provides a framework for tool integration based on information sharing. The basic functions of the EIS are outlined, and EIS program goals are discussed. These include integration and uniformity; acceptability; adaptability and extensibility; and easy insertion into existing design environments.

Simulation of Manufacturing Systems Goals, Methods, Tools, and Problems

1988
Simulation models are built arid used in situations where experiments on the real world are not possible or not recommendable. Manufacturing systems are systems of this kind. Experiments are expensive, time consuming and often dangerous. Consequently they have become one of the most often handled and quoted application fields of simulation. The authors,
