Texts aimed at construction research students at all levels describe the organisation and undertaking of research work. These generally include a descriptive discussion of the works of such philosophers as Aristotle, Kant and Popper and relate this to theory building, theoretical frameworks, paradigms, etc. Reference is made to hypotheticodeductive methods, action research and grounded theory t...

Because botanical taxonomies are prototypical classifications it would seem that it should be easy to formalize them as concept lattices or type hierarchies. On closer inspection, however, one discovers that such a formalization is quite challenging to obtain. First, botanical taxonomies consist of several interrelated hierarchies, such as a specimen-based plant typology, a name hierarchy and a...

We present a taxonomy of languages for multiparty interaction , which covers all proposals of which we are aware. Based on this taxonomy, we present a comprehensive analysis of the computational complexity of the multiparty interaction implementation problem, the problem of scheduling multiparty interactions in a given execution environment.

We present a way to do a systematic analysis of the learning teaching process when using a concept map, though the modified Bloom taxonomy. We are dealing with a two dimensional reference system in a form of a taxonomy table, where one dimension consider different types of knowledge and the other dimension consider different types of cognitive process involved in teaching and learning. When we ...

Algorithms for constructing hierarchical structures from user-generated metadata have caught the interest of the academic community in recent years. In social tagging systems, the output of these algorithms is usually referred to as folksonomies (from folk-generated taxonomies). Evaluation of folksonomies and folksonomy induction algorithms is a challenging issue complicated by the lack of gold...

The importance of the analysis of processes related to cognitive phenomena through Natural Language Processing techniques is acquiring a greater relevance every day. Opinion Mining, Sentiment Analysis or Automatic Humour Recognition are a sample about how this kind of research works grows. In this paper we focus on the study of how the features that define a corpus of humorous data (one-liners)...

Scenarios, in most situations, are descriptions of required interactions between a desired system and its environment which detail normative system behaviour. There is considerable current interest in the use of scenarios for acquisition, elaboration and validation of system requirements. However, despite this interest, there remains a lack of methods and software tools to generate and use scen...

We present a novel approach to the automatic acquisition of taxonomies or concept hierarchies from domain-specific texts based on Formal Concept Analysis (FCA). Our approach is based on the assumption that verbs pose more or less strong selectional restrictions on their arguments. The conceptual hierarchy is then built on the basis of the inclusion relations between the extensions of the select...

In this paper an overall analysis of current defect taxonomies is presented also plans for well defined process based taxonomy is carefully created using the existing models. The existing software defect taxonomies do not focus fully on the process, in most cases process and product are studied in parallel and significant amount of time is spent to identify and debug the defects or prevent them...

Most workflow tools support structured workflows despite the fact that unstructured workflows can be more expressive. The reason for this is that unstructured workflows are more prone to errors. In this paper, we describe a taxonomy that serves as a framework for analyzing unstructured workflows. The taxonomy organizes unstructured workflows in terms of two considerations: improper nesting and ...
