Empirically characterizing evolvability and changeability in engineering systems
… by measuring a system's "ilities" such as changeability, evolvability, and survivability. These ilities may enable systems to respond to perturbations in the design space, context space, and needs space in order to ensure system functionality and adequate performance over time. A system may …

Assessing the effect of source code characteristics on changeability
… to assess the effect of clones on the changeability of methods. Changeability is the ease with which a source code entity is modified. It is assessed through metrics calculated from the history of changes of the methods. The impact of clones on the changeability of methods is measured …

Managing unarticulated value : changeability in multi-attribute tradespace exploration
… to be different aspects of the same concept: changeability. A quantification of changeability is shown to be the Filtered Outdegree of a design within a networked tradespace formed through explicit consideration of transition paths between design instantiations. A focus on designing not only …

Consumer attitudes towards genetically modified foods in Europe : structure and changeability
Genetically modified foods have been at the center of debate in European consumer policy in the last two decades. Although the quasi-moratorium has been lifted in May 2004 and the road to the market is in principle reopened, strategies for product introduction are lacking. The aim of the research …

Managing uncertainty in systems with a Valuation Approach for Strategic Changeability
… as optimization is forgone in favor of safety. Changeability offers an alternative means for supporting value throughout a system's lifecycle by allowing the system to change in response to, or in anticipation of, the resolution of uncertainty, potentially enabling the system to perform at- or …

Evolution of model-driven engineering settings in practice
… on productivity is studied with a focus on changeability and the interrelation to software development processes. This is done by introducing a taxonomy of changeability concerns that might be affected by an MDE setting. Further, three MDE traits are identified and it is studied for which …

The clinical, computational, and neuropharmacological determinants of learning under uncertainty
… to a particular valence. Estimates of aversive changeability (one form of uncertainty) derived using the Hierarchical Gaussian Filter were found to be elevated in anxious individuals. The relationship between anxiety and uncertainty is then investigated across diagnostic categories, in keeping …

On the Stability of Software Clones: A Genealogy-Based Empirical Study
… another important aspect of stability: method co-changeability (the degree methods change together). Intuitively, higher method co-changeability is an indication of higher instability of software systems. We found that clones do not have any negative effect on method co-changeability; rather, …

Attention modes in consumer decision making: attending to the physical environment makes price more important
… from the price attribute's characteristic of changeability, or capability for exhibiting temporal variation. People in an experiencing (versus mind-wandering) mode place a greater importance on noticing change, and therefore subsequently estimate that a changeable stimulus (such as a price) is …

Under what circumstances can a democratic country take steps to legally dissolve a political party?
… Popular Sovereignty, Equal Respect and Changeability. The Thesis will argue that a satisfactory balance between these principles requires the facilitation of substantive disagreement as long as such disagreement does not both ideologically and practically pose a fundamental threat to the …

Adventuring Men and Changeable Women in Early Modern Drama
… way in which the period's discourse on woman's changeability contributes to man's self-identity, but in an added context of racial difference. Chapter 3 reads Shakespeare's Othello in comparison with the other three plays, suggesting that the main factor in Othello's failure to establish himself …

A proto-pattern language for human-computer interaction.
… its social nature (human factor) as well as the changeability of the growing new technology. We need a shared language for communicating insights and experiences to resolve common difficult problems encountered in this field. One way to create a shared language is to build a pattern language. A …
