Inter-organizational governance and trilateral trust building: a case study of crowdsourcing-based open innovation in China
In a case study of a Chinese crowdsourcing intermediary, we explore the impact of inter-organizational governance on trilateral trust-building. We show that formal control and relational governance mechanisms are essential for swift and knowledge-based trust in R&D crowdsourcing. The case also indicates that Chinese businesses continue to use guanxi (informal personal connections) as a relational and contingent mechanism to maintain affect-based trust, but guanxi is shown to inhibit the growth of Internet-based crowdsourcing for open innovation in China
Non-allergic rhinitis: a case report and review
Rhinitis is characterized by rhinorrhea, sneezing, nasal congestion, nasal itch and/or postnasal drip. Often the first step in arriving at a diagnosis is to exclude or diagnose sensitivity to inhalant allergens. Non-allergic rhinitis (NAR) comprises multiple distinct conditions that may even co-exist with allergic rhinitis (AR). They may differ in their presentation and treatment. As well, the pathogenesis of NAR is not clearly elucidated and likely varied. There are many conditions that can have similar presentations to NAR or AR, including nasal polyps, anatomical/mechanical factors, autoimmune diseases, metabolic conditions, genetic conditions and immunodeficiency. Here we present a case of a rare condition initially diagnosed and treated as typical allergic rhinitis vs. vasomotor rhinitis, but found to be something much more serious. This case illustrates the importance of maintaining an appropriate differential diagnosis for a complaint routinely seen as mundane. The case presentation is followed by a review of the potential causes and pathogenesis of NAR

Design and Engineering of Adaptive Software Systems
New challenges such as big data, ultra-large-scale services, and continuously available services are driving the evolution to adaptive software systems, which are able to modify their behavior in response to their environmental and internal changes, in order to achieve their goals. Providing support in all phases of the life cycle of adaptive software systems is thus an important challenge facing the software engineering research community. This chapter highlights current research on methods and techniques for the design and engineering of adaptive software systems. The design space for self-adaptive systems is first examined, and then a goal-oriented framework for adaptive service composition is described. The human factors component of the design of adaptive systems are considered from four different points of view. We then argue that model management from database community can be adapted for effective development of self-adaptive systems. Finally, sustainability of adaptive components are shown to be achieved by making requirements future-proof
