3.4 Analytical approach for process model extraction This work applied the following analytical approach to identify process activities and extract process model. The analytical approach is shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3. a). During the training/calibration phase, two operations are performed: mobile side executes training and generates 3 training data, which includes tuple timestamps and RSSIs of the full list of Bluetooth devices. The other opera- tion is manually record the training process, contains
A models based practice is an approach to pedagogy which involves identifying desired learning goals and subsequently devising a curriculum and teaching style in order to achieve these targets.

have sub-systems. The ultimate rationale for their existence is both social pro-duct ion and social consumption. The basic assumption in this model is that systems can become dysfunctional due to a variety of factors, such as population growth. This is termed as a "system-change" approach to community work. Some of the specific tasks identified with this model are: Collecting relevant facts about the specific deficiencies in the system, e.g. urban bias, disparity in access to services, lack of trained
