    Developing organizational maturity for effective project management
    (IGI Global, 2018-03-09) Silvius, A. J.Gilbert; Karayaz, Gamze
    Despite criticism for their serious shortcomings, maturity models are widely used within organizations. The appropriate applications of these models can lead to organizational and corporate success. Developing Organizational Maturity for Effective Project Management is a critical scholarly publication that explores the successes and failures of maturity models and how they can be applied competently to leadership within corporations. Featuring coverage on a wide array of topics such as project management maturity, agile maturity, and organizational performance, this publication is geared toward professionals, managers, and students seeking current research on the application of maturity models to corporate success.

    The modified proactive feedback based flow control scheme for best-effort applications
    (International Institute of Informatics and Systemics (IIIS), 2007) Dağ, Tamer
    High speed networks that are characterized by large bandwidth propagation delay products are expected to support applications with diverse traffic characteristics and Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. Thus, flow control schemes are needed for an efficient usage of the network bandwidth. A proactive feedback (PF) based flow control scheme developed by the author attempts to eliminate the bandwidth mismatch problem seen in such networks by generating and transmitting early feedbacks based on the application characteristics. In this paper, an extension of this scheme to large scale networks is presented. Due to the bottlenecked network nodes, some best effort applications may not be able to use their assigned bandwidth. For such cases, a modified version of the proactive feedback based (MPF) flow control scheme is introduced. It is observed that without affecting the other applications the best effort traffic can be significantly increased.

    Readiness and mindset for IT offshoring: Insights from banking and insurance organizations
    (2009-07-13) Aydın, Mehmet Nafiz; de Groot, Jeroen; Van Hillegersberg, Jos
    In this research we examine the IT offshore outsourcing (offshoring) practice of a number of leading finance and insurance organizations in the Netherlands. In particular, we investigate the readiness (the state, condition or quality of being ready) and mindset (habits, opinions which affect a person's attitudes) of the organizations for IT offshoring. We examine IT offshoring practice from the process perspective (that is, the dynamics of IT offshoring projects in terms of culture, method use, IT activities, IT governance, knowledge sharing). Among other findings, this research shows that to a greater extent the organizations have realized readiness for method use and mindset for IT activities, and that the overall improvements regarding these aspects have been modest in a two-year period. On the other hand, mindset for dealing with cultural difference has increased while readiness for flexible working, tracking of requirements change, efficient division of work, and systematic communication is still inadequate. Theoretical and practical implications of the findings are further discussed.

    A digital platform for heritage data sharing: the ecclesiastical repository for ecclesiastical treasures in the NARRATE project
    (International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, 2025-10-01) Stamou, Aikaterini; Tsifodimou, Zoi-Eirini; Constantinides, Argyris; Belk, Marios; Evangelidis, Konstantinos; Sylaiou, Stella; Nassis, Fr Chrysostomos; Chrysafi, Eleni; Kaya, Güldehen; Şarlak, Evangelia; Ribolov, Svet; Karavaltchev, Ventzislav; Spirova, Polina; Stylianidis, Efstratios
    Cultural Heritage (CH) is a shared legacy, and its preservation reflects a collective responsibility to safeguard our common history. The ERASMUS+ project NARRATE - Needs for Digital Recording and Documentation of Ecclesiastical Cultural Treasures in Monasteries and Temples, funded by the European Union, aimed to preserve both tangible and intangible ecclesiastical heritage through the creation of a digital repository. NARRATE focused on the structured documentation of ecclesiastical CH and the management of a digital archive tailored to the needs of the clergy, many of whom are unfamiliar with digital tools. Through user-centered surveys, the project integrated the clergy's perspectives to ensure the tools developed were accessible and relevant. The repository comprises two components: i) the Interactive Dashboard, allowing users to manage ecclesiastical artifacts and access educational materials, and ii) the NARRATE Server, which comprises a Web application that enables end-users and third-party services to interact with it and exchange data, ensuring interoperability through CIDOC-based semantic metadata. Alongside, NARRATE offers multilingual educational resources, including videos and guides, designed for both clergy and the wider public. This fosters engagement in cataloguing, metadata annotation, and digital storytelling. NARRATE provides an inclusive platform for clergy, scholars, and the public to explore, preserve, and appreciate under-documented ecclesiastical treasures, contributing in this way to a cross-cultural understanding and sustainable heritage preservation.

    Comparing pre-trained and fine-tuned transformer-based models for sentiment analysis in Turkish comments in student surveys
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2025-08-15) Pourjalil, Kajal; Ekin, Emine; Recal, Füsun
    Student surveys are essential for evaluating teaching quality and course content, but analyzing open-ended responses is challenging due to their unstructured and multilingual nature. This study applies sentiment analysis to Turkish educational survey responses using three transformer-based models: SAVASY, DBMDZ BERT Base Turkish Cased, and XLM-RoBERTa Base. A labeled dataset of real-world student comments was used, with sentiment labels assigned using the Gemini AI tool to facilitate model fine-tuning. Evaluation metrics included accuracy, F1-score, precision, recall, and confidence scores. Results show that fine-tuning improves sentiment classification, effectively identifying positive, negative, and neutral sentiments. This highlights the value of transformer models in analyzing Turkish student feedback.
