Network organizations have become commonplace in industrialized countries, for improving productivity and competitive strength. Their success depends to a large extent on the sharing of knowledge among participating organizations. However, due to the relative independence of component firms, successful knowledge management in network organizations presents significant challenges. In this paper, re...... hiện toàn bộ

Constructing expert systems (such as production rules sets, decision trees or decision tables) is a crucial task in multiple disciplines. They encapsulate the domain knowledge as well as the application's logic. In this paper, a powerful visual tool for developing expert systems is introduced. It comes with a dictionary-based approach for the integration of expert systems into host projects. A pra...... hiện toàn bộ

We propose a logical approach to supply-demand matching in peer-to-peer e-commerce, where demand and supply are both described as concepts to be matched, either completely -full match- or partially -partial match- as it allows for an open-world assumption. Incomplete information can be dealt with, and absence of information can be distinguished from negative information, allowing one to discard of...... hiện toàn bộ
Vertex guarding is one of many optimisation problems in graph theory with wide area of applications. It is proven to be NP-hard, therefore fast approximative solutions are significant. In the paper, at first, known algorithms are considered, and then a new algorithm working on planar graphs is introduced. The new algorithm is based on the dynamic approach and produces better and faster solutions. ...... hiện toàn bộ
The applications and network services are key points that could provide the user the necessary quality of service. It is very hard to definitely divide the applications and the underlying services to uniquely describe the application and the service classes. This paper tries to comprise different classes of applications into a unique classification. Different standpoints and criteria are included ...... hiện toàn bộ

In this paper we consider the issues involved in signal extraction and parameter estimation of particular spatial and spatio temporal processes observed with additive Gaussian noise. Within spatial statistics, we discuss maximum likelihood estimation of noisy auto-Gaussian models. For large lattices the estimation method can be computationally demanding thus, we present a maximum likelihood estima...... hiện toàn bộ
This is the first report on a new approach to text compression. It consists of representing the text file with compressed inverted file index in conjunction with very compact lexicon, where lexicon includes every word in the text. The index is compressed using standard index compression techniques, and lexicon is compressed with original dictionary compression method that gives better compression ...... hiện toàn bộ
As the basis of competition increasingly depends on the quality of knowledge assets of companies, to sustain competitive advantage, companies must develop critical organisational knowledge. In this paper issues related to utilising knowledge within a company are investigated using a case study. Key findings of the study are outlined, and a framework is proposed to assist organisations in building ...... hiện toàn bộ

Nowadays it is commonly accepted that the web is structured in a chaotic way. Due to the fact that it grows exponentially, it is a difficult task to efficiently locate specific information. This paper presents a User-defined Meta-Search Engine (UMSE), adaptable to user preferences. UMSE utilises tip to 9 known search engines according to a user-defined ranking, submits its queries in parallel and ...... hiện toàn bộ
