NIT6130 Introduction to Research Assignment 2: Literature Review

This document is a literature review submitted by Rachid Hamadi for NIT6130 Introduction to Research. The review explores persuasive technology and communication, examining their impact on human well-being and business processes. The author outlines the research process, including broad and focused scans of literature from various sources like Google Scholar and VU Library, detailing the selection of relevant papers and the creation of a research journal to track progress. The review discusses two selected papers, one focusing on Self-adapting Recovery Nets (SARN) for business processes and another on the QWERTY framework, analyzing their architectures, experiments, and results. The assignment also includes a final outline for the literature review chapter and a list of references.

The following chapter is going to illustrate the concept of persuasive technology and
communication for human well-being. The literature review is going to discuss effective
understanding of the cases that has been taken into certain consideration pertaining to the
effective case so as to find out how this would become one of the most impactful nature with
the entire understanding of the case. In fact, this has been taken into certain understanding
pertaining to the effective case to find out how effective this is going to be to find out the basic
knowledge system within the research work. The following paper is going to discuss different
procedures of writing a literature review through extensive research methods. In fact, this has
been taken into certain consideration pertaining to different steps to conduct an effective
literature review in the process. There are different bibliographical considerations that would
finally focus on the expressive self of the actual case.
1.1 Broad Scan
I have elected my topic of interest in broad scan. In order to do so, I have searched in the
internet for the key words. different platforms have been used to search on the topics. These
are:
i) Google Scholar
ii) IEEE
iii) VU Library
There were numbers of papers- mostly scholarly works. Those journals have been read
through touch stoner method. From the scholarly works, I have selected more than twenty-
five works. This has to be taken into certain consideration pertaining to the effective
understanding of the process. In fact, this has been taken into certain understanding of the
exact case pertaining to the effective understanding of the process. After finding the
papers, I shortlisted twenty-five contextual and relevant works.

The research works are more relate to the paper works. After filtering the topics, I have
succinctly elucidated the associated subjects that are more essential in this regard. Since
this has been taken into certain understanding pertaining to the effective case to find
out how effective this would be pertaining to the selection of the most relevant
subjects. I have finally chosen ten papers to be the final ones.

1.3 Selected Paper1
In this section, the approch of Hamadi et al. (2008). is that SARN is one of the most
significant and extended PETRI net model that is used to specify exceptional behavior in the
external and internal business process. The authors have also proposed the framework of SARN
(Self-adapting recovery net) with the effective understanding of the business process. It does
not only encompass the “Recovery Region” regarding particular implementation and adherence
to the policy frameworks, but also focuses on the effective understanding of the process. They
have also talked about the recovery processes of lost data.
1.3.1 Problem Definition
The actual problem statement pertains to the business process with the effective
understanding of the actual case. This is universally granted that technology plays quite
significant role in the overall business development of an organization. Technological
understanding by the business personae and the eligibility to implement those are highly
important for the acceleration of the business pace. In this context, it can be stated that there is
a clear usage of technology and its intervention in terms of creating a proper and constructive
