This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the Third Conference on Professional Knowledge Management - Experiences and Visions, WM 2005, held in Kaiserslautern, Germany in April 2005. The 82 revised papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from the best contributions to the 15 workshops of the conference. Coverage includes intelligent office appliances, learning software organizations, learner-oriented knowledge management and KM-oriented e-learning.
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed and revised post-conference documentation of the 11th International Conference on Software Engineering and Knowledge Engineering, SEKE'99, held in Kaiserslautern, Germany in June 1999. The book provides a unique overview of current activities, approaches, and trends in learning software organizations. The first part gives an overview on the topic, covering foundations in the software engineering domain, enabling techniques for organizational learning, and learning support techniques. The second and the third part of the book on methodology and applications present thoroughly revised full papers of the most interesting papers on learning software organizations presented during SEKE'99 and its satellite workshop LSO'99.
Nowadays, societies crucially depend on high-quality software for a large part of their functionalities and activities. Therefore, software professionals, researchers, managers, and practitioners alike have to competently decide what software technologies and products to choose for which purpose. For various reasons, systematic empirical studies employing strictly scientific methods are hardly practiced in software engineering. Thus there is an unquestioned need for developing improved and better-qualified empirical methods, for their application in practice and for dissemination of the results. This book describes different kinds of empirical studies and methods for performing such studies, e.g., for planning, performing, analyzing, and reporting such studies. Actual studies are presented in detail in various chapters dealing with inspections, testing, object-oriented techniques, and component-based software engineering.
With the threat of Greg still lingering, Olivia’s safety is absolute in the golden tower of the Lost Cities. Within the walls new unions are forged through understanding and forgiveness. The bonds of friendships are fortified in the hopes of the future. And the love between Ian and Olivia is strengthened as new life grows. When tragedy strikes, Olivia is forced to go beyond those walls leaving the security they provide. Greg takes advantage of the opportunity and makes his presence known. She must face the inferno of his rage, knowing the only way to be free is through the fire. She’ll have to burn before she can rise from the ashes.
The book gives an overview of critical research in information systems (CRIS), which will give a useful introduction to those students and researchers not familiar with the topic and assist in carrying the debate further on a variety of issues.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th Industrial Conference on Data Mining, ICDM 2006, held in Leipzig, Germany in July 2006. Presents 45 carefully reviewed and revised full papers organized in topical sections on data mining in medicine, Web mining and logfile analysis, theoretical aspects of data mining, data mining in marketing, mining signals and images, and aspects of data mining, and applications such as intrusion detection, and more.
"This book presents learning and knowledge management from a point of view where the basic tools and applications are provided by open source technologies. It explains an intense orientation to the critical issues of the open source paradigm: open source tools, applications, social networks, and knowledge sharing in open source communities"--Provided by publisher.
Gilbert Müller introduces the foundations of Business Process Management as well as Case-based Reasoning and presents a novel approach to assist the complex, time-consuming, and error-prone task of workflow modeling. By means of methods from artificial intelligence, in particular from the field of Case-based Reasoning, he shows how workflows can be automatically constructed according to a query specified by the user. Thus, the modeling process can be supported substantially, which addresses a highly relevant problem in many workflow domains.
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Modeling and Retrieval of Context, MRC Edinburgh 2005. The 9 revised full papers presented were carefully selected and include extended versions of some presented at the MRC 2005 workshop. A major goal of the workshop was to study, understand, and explore the handling of context in IT applications. The papers illustrate the state of the art of context modeling and elicitation as well as identification and application of context in different application scenarios.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th European Workshop on Case-Based Reasonning, EWCBR 2000, held in Trento, Italy in September 2000. The 40 revised full papers presented together with two invited contributions were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. All curves issues in case-based reasoning, ranging from foundational and theoretical aspects to advanced applications in various fields are addressed.
