Argumentation systems have substantially evolved in the past few years, resulting in adequate tools to model
some forms of common sense reasoning. This has sprung a new set of argument-based applications in diverse
areas.
In previous work, we defined how…

Associating the pattern in text data with the pattern with time series data is a novel task. In this paper, an approach that utilizes the features of the time series data and domain knowledge is proposed and used to identify…

Most of the current wireless sensor networks are built for specific applications, with a tight coupling between them and the underlying communication protocols. We present a more flexible architectural approach for building WSNs, in which application-specific features are decoupled from…

Current interactive multimedia learning software can not be accessed by learners with disabilities. This is the case for students with vision disabilities. Modeling techniques are necessary to map real world experiences to virtual worlds by using 3D auditory representations of…

Adaptive systems behavior based on user models appear promising, mostly for complex environments such as mixed reality environments (MRE).
An MRE comprises a virtual representation of the reality as well as physical objects augmented with virtual features. These objects are…

This paper investigates and analyses the process of building a knowledge management (KM) model at Brazil‟s Embrapa (The Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation). Embrapa is a world class knowledge organization whose mission is to provide feasible solutions for the sustainable development…

The knowledge that consumers have of products and services as well as other factors serves as an indicator as to which product or store to “pick”. The products and store location add to the ease with which consumers are able…

The study assessed the organizational effectiveness of LPU using the Malcolm Baldridge Assessment Instrument which defines organizational effectiveness in terms of seven categories, namely: leadership, strategic planning, customer and market focus, measurement, analysis and knowledge management, human resource focus, process…

Heat shock (HS) leads to the activation of molecular mechanisms, known as HS-response, that prevent damage and enhance survival under stress. Plants have a flexible and specialized network of Heat Shock Factors (HSFs), which are transcription factors that induce the…

El concepto capital intelectual encierra en sí complejidades que le son inherentes; pero que se emplean de manera profusa. Conocer la naturaleza y la composición del capital intelectual es importante para concebir estrategias exitosas de gestión del conocimiento. En muchos…
