As a wider range of organizations explore using data science systems, research has given growing attention to the role domain experts. Most this still views systems as centered on development statistical models or algorithms by technical scientists, with experts limited informers. Our paper turns how mediate whether lead action through their situated practices. Drawing ethnographic fieldwork an...

Fuzzy control systems have had various applications in a wide range of science and engineering in recent years. Since an unstable control system is typically useless and potentially dangerous, stability is the most important requirement for any control system (including fuzzy control system). Conceptually, there are two types of stability for control systems: Lyapunov stability (a special case ...

e-Science helps scientists to automate scientific discovery processes and experiments, and promote collaboration across organizational boundaries and disciplines. These experiments involve data discovery, knowledge discovery, integration, linking, and analysis through different software tools and activities. Scientific workflow is one technique through which such activities and processes can be...
