Goal orientation originated in the educational psychology literature in the early 1980s, and has recently been applied to the work context (VandeWalle, et al., 2001). Goal orientation represents a personal disposition to pursue either learning or performance goal orientations in achievement

focuses on the composition of process patterns in a goal-oriented way. First, the paper describes which information a process pattern should contain so that it can be used for systematic composition. Second, a composition method is sketched. Afterwards, the results of a proof-of-concept evaluation

Goals capture, at different levels of abstraction, the various objectives the system under consideration should achieve.

Abstract. Goals form a declarative description of the desired end result of (part of) an orchestration. A goal-oriented orchestration language is an orchestration language in which these goals are part of the language. The advantage of using goals explicitly in the language is added flexibility

Goal orientation research has developed two branches. One branch uses a two-factor dispositional model. The other branch uses a three-factor domain-specific model. The present multiwave study examines dispositional goal orientation constructs through both two- and three-factor models using repeated

Goal orientation theories were used to generate predictions regarding the moderating effect of goal orientation profiles on task performance growth trajectories. Participants were given multiple trials of practice on an air traffic control task. Analyses were conducted using growth curve modeling

We introduce goal-oriented clustering, a process that clusters items with the explicit knowledge that the ultimate use of the clusters is prediction. In this approach, we use data on a set of target variables (those we want to predict) and a set of input variables (those we do not want to predict

. Based on this monolythic model of the FSI we apply the Dual Weighted Residual (DWR) method for goal-oriented a posteriori error estimation to stationary FSI problems. Examples are presented based on the model and for the goal-oriented local mesh adaptation. Copyright? 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd

not possible to focus the animation on particular portions of a complex model relevant to some specific concern. The paper describes a tool aimed at overcoming such limitations by animating goal-oriented requirements models. The tool automatically generates parallel state machines from goal operationalizations

Companies that engage in multi-site, multi-project software development continually face the problem of how to understand and improve their software development capabilities. We have def'med and applied a goal-oriented process that enables such a company to assess the strengths and weaknesses
