Theeffectiveness of any service, in particular the effort of developing a new IS infrastructure,depends on the effectiveness of interaction between the IS professionals (servers) and the users(clients). The interaction, on the other hand, is based on each player’s perception of their ownroles and skills needed to make the IS project a success, as well as on mutual perception eachplayer has of each other’s roles and skills.This paper examines the concepts leading to modeling of the dynamics of working relationshipbetween clients and servers in the IS industry.In what follows, the providers (IS experts, system analysts, IT professionals) will be referred toas servers, S, whereas those who are served (users, clients, IT/IS customers

Zero Transition: A transition is defined as a zero transition for a specific data input of a flip- flop if it is necessary to apply a logical 0 to that input to see the flip- flop go through this transition.For example, to see an RS flip- flop go through α transition, 0 to 1, it is necessary to applya logical 1 to the S input and a logical 0 to the R input. Therefore, the α transition isconsidered an essential transition for the S input and a zero transition for the R input.The excitation equation of a data input of a flip- flop consists of two parts separated by a“+” sign. The first part represents a

This will ensure that the correctmeasurement mechanisms are in place (Dierick and Dochy, 2001; Wolf and Cumming, 2000). Inaddition, faculty agreement on the guiding principles defines the culture, that is the norms ofexpected behavior, for departmental assessment. Faculty buy-in to the guiding principles is anecessary aspect of the structure to prevent backlash from the inevitable change-managementsyndrome.

The EES program was chosen because it is intuitive and simple to use, and hasbeen developed with features of noticeable relevance to engineering training.EES is an equation solver with built-in functions for thermophysical properties. With EES,therefore, it is no longer necessary to use tabulated information from texts or handbooks in a widevariety of physics problems. In general, EES can be used to solve algebraic, differential andintegral equations, check unit

However, in that animation, students observe theresults of a completed process and it is difficult for the novices among them to learn from thedetails that led to the final results they see on the animation. Our experience indicates that, afterstudents have plotted partial sums on their own, such an animation becomes a
