Towards Cognitive Support in Knowledge Engineering: An Adoption-Centred Customization Framework for Visual Interfaces

چکیده
Constructing large knowledge models is a cognitively challenging process. In order to assist people working with these models and tools, this thesis proposes considering the tools used in light of the cognitive support they provide. Cognitive support describes those elements of a tool which aid human reasoning and understanding. This thesis examines the use of advanced visual interfaces to support modelers, and compare some existing solutions to identify commonalities. For many problems, however, I found that such commonalities do not exist, and consequently, tools fail to be adopted because they do not address user needs. To address this, I propose and implement a customizable visualization framework (CVF) which allows domain experts to tailor a tool to their needs. Preliminary validation of this result revealed that while this approach has some promise for future cognitive support tools in this area, more work is needed analyzing tasks and requirements for working with large knowledge models.

This paper is to develop a knowledge management (KM) model in some Iranian academic research centers (ARC) based on KM critical success factors. General KM critical success factors (CSF) were identified through literature review. Then the research procedure led to the identification of KM critical success factors in Iranian ARCs including 16 different factors. It was done through first stage su...
متن کاملInterfaces and Metainterfaces for Models and Metamodels
Evolution and customization of component-based systems require an explicit understanding of component inter-dependencies. Implicit assumptions, poor documentation and hidden dependencies turn even simple changes into challenges. The problem is exacerbated in XMLintensive projects due to the use of soft references and the lack of information hiding. We address this with dependency tracking inter...
متن کاملAn Iterative Approach to Develop a Cognitive Model of the Driver for Human Centred Design of Its
Applying a Human Centred Design (HCD) approach to Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) is a challenging issue. Indeed, it is fundamental to confront the end-user to the designed system as often and as soon as possible. However, this process is both costly and time-consuming. We present several ways in which driver models, especially cognitive models, could support the HCD of driving assista...
متن کاملCollaborative Interfaces for Data Composition and Visualisation
This research proposes the development of interfaces to support collaborative, community-driven inquiry into data, which we refer to as Participatory Data Analytics. Since the investigation is led by local communities, it is not possible to anticipate which data will be relevant and what questions are going to be asked. Therefore, users have to be able to construct and tailor visualisations to ...
