Theoretical models of relations between specific components of physical self-concept, global physical self-concept, and global esteem are evaluated. Self-concept models posit that the effect of a specific domain (e.g., strength, endurance, or appearance) on global components should vary with the importance an individual places on the specific domain, but empirical support for this prediction is weak. Fox (1990) incorporated a related assumption into his hierarchical model of physical self-concept, but did not test this assumption. In empirical tests based on responses to the newly developed Physical Self-Description Questionnaire, relations between specific and global components of physical self-concept did not vary with the perceived importance of the specific component, and unweighted averages of specific components were as highly related to global components as importance weighted averages. These results provide no support for the importance of importance in modifying relations between domain-specific and general components of self-concept.

Referral techniques are normally employed in internet business applications. Existing frameworks prescribe things to a particular client according to client inclinations and former high evaluations. Quite a number of methods, such as cooperative filtering and content-based methodologies, dominate the architectural design of referral frameworks. Many referral schemes are domain-specific and cannot be deployed in a general-purpose setting. This study proposes a two-dimensional (User × Item)-space multimode referral scheme, having an enormous client base but few articles on offer. Additionally, the design of the referral scheme is anchored on the  and  articles, as expressed by a particular client, and is a combination of affiliation rules mining and the content-based method. The experiments used the dataset of MovieLens, consisting of 100,000 motion pictures appraisals on a size of 1-5, from 943 clients on 1,682 motion pictures. It utilised a five-overlap cross appraisal on a (User × Item)-rating matrix with 12 articles evaluated by a minimum of 320 clients. A total of 16 rules were generated for both  and  articles, at 35% minimum support and 80% confidence for the  articles and 50% similitude for the . Experimental results showed that the anticipated appraisals in denary give a better rating than other measures of exactness. In conclusion, the proposed algorithm works well and fits on two dimensional -space with articles that are significantly fewer than users, thus making it applicable and effective in a variety of uses and scenarios as a general-purpose utility.

Integrated product-service packages (hybrid products) can open new markets and target groups to companies. However, existing approaches to service or product development do not sufficiently address simultaneous development and domain-specific issues. A very promising new field for such bundles is the health and fitness industry. In this research, we designed and built an IT-supported training system for running, the Mobile Sports Companion (MSC), which closely interlocks a product and corresponding services using an iterative development process. We tested the pilot system with 14 recreational athletes. The results of the field test show that the MSC proved to be a promising tool to offer athletes an effective individual, flexible, and mobile training. However, the system, as it is, did not sufficiently represent the human trainer behind it, thus lowering its acceptance and the credibility of its recommendations. Our next step is to integrate features that could strengthen the athlete-trainer relationship. The MSC could turn out to be a promising field for future e-business applications in the sports service industry.

This chapter introduces the concepts and techniques required for developing graphical, domain-specific modeling and program synthesis environments. It argues that a fully functional modeling environment can be quickly developed for a wide variety of engineering domains using a configurable and extensible toolset with a limited set of generic concepts. The configuration is accomplished through metamodels specifying the modeling language and methodology containing all syntactic, semantic and presentation information of the domain. The authors applied this approach to several real-world systems.
