Cooperative Knowledge Processing: The Key Technology for Future Organizations

Event-triggered data and knowledge sharing among collaborating government organizations

* This project is supported by NSF under grant number IIS-0534065 ABSTRACT Solving complex global problems such as illegal immigration, border control, and terrorism requires government organizations at all levels to share not only data but, more importantly, knowledge pertinent to decision support, problem solving and activity coordination. Responding to an emergency often requires organizatio...

Integrating Data into Objects Using Structural Knowledge

The concept of object technology has been well accepted. Using the grouping of data provided by object-oriented data structuring provides advantages in terms of efficient programming and program maintenance. However, current object-oriented systems are far from solving all the problems that exist in computing. Scalability is a particular concern. The modest acceptance of object-oriented databas...
