Abstract
The ecosystem approach to computer system development is similar to management of biodiversity. Instead of modeling machines after a successful individual, it models machines after successful teams. It includes measuring the evaluative diversity of human teams (i.e. the disparity in ways members conduct the evaluative aspect of decision-making), adding similarly diverse machines to those teams, and monitoring the impact on evaluative balance. This article reviews new research relevant to this approach, especially the validation of a survey instrument for measuring computational evaluative differences in humans (the GRINSQ). The research confirms the existence of all four known machine types among humans.

Diversity management in practice: the case of diversity work in a swedish municipality
ICIC '10: Proceedings of the 3rd international conference on Intercultural collaborationWhat does it mean to practice diversity management and how do people experience working in a so called diverse organisation? These are the questions explored in an ongoing case study of a diversity management in practice in a Swedish municipality. Early ...
Evolutionary Algorithm for Vehicle Routing with Diversity Oscillation Mechanism
Parallel Problem Solving from Nature – PPSN XVIIAbstractWe propose an evolutionary algorithm with a novel diversity oscillation mechanism for the Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows (CVRPTW). Evolutionary algorithms are among state-of-the-art methods for vehicle routing problems and ...
