Corporate Wikis: A Comparative Analysis of Structures and Dynamics
نویسندگان
چکیده
Despite the popularity of public (e. g., Wikipedia) and corporate wikis (e. g., Bluepedia; cf. Due08), there is very little empirical research on the latter (for notable exceptions, see AB08). On the one hand, this is due to the fact that organizations are generally reluctant to foreclose unstructured data which may contain any information, from cafeteria opening hours to next-generation products. On the other hand, there are no established measures and methods for wiki evaluation which allow for a cross comparision of wikis data.

متن کاملComparative Study of Random Matrices Capability in Uncertainty Detection of Pier’s Dynamics
Because of random nature of many dependent variables in coastal engineering, treatment of effective parameters is generally associated with uncertainty. Numerical models are often used for dynamic analysis of complex structures, including mechanical systems. Furthermore, deterministic models are not sufficient for exact anticipation of structure’s dynamic response, but probabilistic models...
