In a previous work, our research group has proposed the construction of a taxonomy for classifying COTS by means of characterization attributes to arrange domains which COTS products belong to, and also grouping these domains into categories. In this paper we presented our first applicability study of GBRAM (Goal Based-Requirements Analysis Method) as a goal-based reasoning method for the const...

This paper investigates the benefits of multidimensional approaches to dialogue act annotation, and the advantages of using layered multidimensional ’open’ dialogue act taxonomies. We performed a comparative analysis of a one-dimensional and two multidimensional dialogue act annotation schemes, and concluded that not only does a multidimensional approach support a more accurate analysis of huma...

Classification schemes such as taxonomies are important groundwork for research on many topics in Information Systems (IS) and Management. They make investigating topics manageable by allowing researchers to delimit their work to certain taxa or types and provide a basis for generalization. Opposed to theoretically grounded typologies, taxonomies are empirically derived from entities of a pheno...

Three new species of Pythium, namely, P. oopapillum, P. emineosum and P. camurandrum are presented in this paper based on morphological descriptions and molecular phylogenetic characterisation. These new species were isolated from various ecological regions in Canada. They have unique morphological features in the genus Pythium, and form distinct clades in maximum parsimony analyses, which are ...

We present an application of formal concept analysis aimed at creating and representing a meaningful structure of knowledge communities under the form of a lattice-based taxonomy built upon groups of agents jointly manipulating some notions. The resulting structure is however usually extremely complex, hence uneasy to comprehend. We consider two approaches to build a concise representation resp...

A logical formalism associating properties to space parcels in so-called attribute formulas, is proposed. Properties are related through the axioms of a taxonomy graph, and parcels through a partonomy graph. Attributive formulas establish relations between parcels and properties, and we use them to align different taxonomies, over a compatible partonomy, using Formal Concept Analysis. We discus...

There is a critical and urgent need for automated analytical agents operating in complex domains to provide meta-level explanations of their reasoning and conclusions. In this paper, we identify the principles for designing analytical agents that can explain their reasoning and justify their conclusions at different levels of abstractions to potential human customers with varying goals. We also...

Nielsen's (1969) article in the last issue of this Newsletter motivated me to write the following comments. It was not because he criticized numerical taxonomy (NT), but rather, in my opinion, he criticized aspects of NT that either a) no longer need to be criticized, or b) are not the fault of the methods of numerical taxonomy but of the people who use them, in this case, Steward (1968). Like ...

The past few years have witnessed increased interest in the potential use of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) in a wide range of applications and it has become a hot research area. Based on network structure, routing protocols in WSNs can be divided into two categories: flat routing and hierarchical or clustering routing. Owing to a variety of advantages, clustering is becoming an active branch ...
