This thesis examines the evolution of Internet based knowledge networks (e-knowledge networks) in the domain of sustainable development. The objective of this thesis is to use an engineering systems approach to understand knowledge networks, identify the barriers to their sustainability…

This report develops a conceptual framework in which to talk about mathematical knowledge. There are several broad categories of mathematical knowledge: results which contain the traditional logical aspects of mathematics; examples which contain illustrative material; and concepts which include formal…

The construction of expert problem-solving systems requires the development of techniques for using modular representations of knowledge without encountering combinatorial explosions in the solution effort. This report describes an approach to dealing with this problem based on making some knowledge…

Knowledge-intensive processes are widely used to recover from errors, handle exceptional cases and complaints, and to improve or adapt a process itself. In this context, evolved Business-Process Reengineering (BPR) techniques are changing to give some answers to this reality. In…

This study investigates an approach of knowledge discovery and data mining in insufficient databases. An application of Computational Taxonomy analysis demonstrates that the approach is effective in such a data mining process. The approach is characterized by the use ot…

The computational metaphor which proposes the comparison of processes of mind to realizable or imaginable computer activities suggests a number of educational concerns. This paper discusses some of those concerns including procedural modes of knowledge representation and control knowledge ??owing…

How do teams complete a task involving critical knowledge that is both complex and
external to the team itself? This is a task characterized by a particularly difficult tradeoff
between external search for important knowledge on one hand…

Algunas aplicaciones del procesamiento del lenguaje natural, p.ej. la traducción
automática, requieren una base de conocimiento provista de representaciones conceptuales que
puedan reflejar la estructura del sistema cognitivo del ser humano. En cambio, tareas como la
indización automática o la…

The term 24-Hour Knowledge Factory connotes a globally distributed work environment in which members of the
global team work on a project around the clock; each member of the team works the normal workday hours that
pertain to…
