The analysis of noisy consensus dynamics in networks is of great interest to both
advance the fundamental understanding of multi-agent systems in nature as well as
create robust decentralized engineering systems. We develop a protocol that heuristically attempts to optimize…

Organizations must establish processes for managing knowledge across boundaries because of the specialized and task-dependent forms of knowledge required to deliver products and services. To address this challenge an integrative framework is developed that identifies and integrates the value of…

Purpose: There is an extensive literature which associates organizational learning with creation of knowledge, but models that relate organizational learning constructs and learning organization with the creation of knowledge are not found. The aim of this paper is to present…

Three important trends - unrelenting globalization, growing worldwide electronic connectivity, and increasing knowledge intensity of economic activity - are creating new opportunities for global politics, with challenging demands for information access, interpretation, provision and overall use. This has serious implications…

This paper analyzes the suitability of reinforcement learning (RL) for both programming and adapting situated agents. We discuss two RL algorithms: Q-learning and the Bucket Brigade. We introduce a special case of the Bucket Brigade, and analyze and compare its…

(cont.) which is expected, given their additional knowledge resources. The respondents' urgency in looking for the relevant knowledge is the primary explanation for this difference between the two networks. This difference in knowledge networking among the different groups did not…

Objective: Medical genetics presents great potential for improving healthcare outcomes, but faces challenges for managing the test results. This paper focuses on the gaps in clinician knowledge regarding genetic testing and asks what health information technologies (IT) can help non-specialists…

Can dialogue reveal hidden truths? This is what prompted Bronwen Rees and
Andrew Armitage to experiment with the dialogical process to explore how
realities and knowledge about our organisations are created.

Diagnosis is an important process in patient care. A suitable diagnosis helps a physician determine a precise treatment. Physicians also have a tendency to seek collaboration from other colleagues and expert systems for better confidence in their decision. The sources…
