The EU-INDIA Cross-Cultural Innovation Network project is concerned with the fostering of proactive collaborations in applied research in socio-economic and entrepreneurial innovations through academic and entrepreneurial networking. The project is rooted in our commitment to human centred systems approaches in science and technology. The Project was set up based on the belief that the establis...

Enthusiasm for research on the brain and its application in education is growing among teachers. However, a lack of sufficient knowledge, poor communication between educators and scientists, and the effective marketing of dubious educational products has led to the proliferation of numerous 'neuromyths.' As a first step toward designing effective interventions to correct these misconceptions, p...

This paper presents a case study of an investigation into team behaviour in an energy distribution company. The main aim was to investigate the impact of major changes in the company on system performance, comprising human and technical elements. A socio-technical systems approach was adopted. There were main differences between the teams investigated in the study: the time of year each control...

This paper shows how a provider of complex hardware with long operation times makes use of a structured methods approach to develop maintenance, repair and overhaul services and improve its service solutions. Service engineering is a methodical approach for the design of service offerings, and can be described by using the dimensions outcome, structure, process and management. So far, little is...

Abstract The choice, aggregation, weighting, and interactions of divergences, a natural metric of contrasts in the exponential family, is outlined from our experiences in applied genetics.

This note is aimed at the developers engaged in applied research and development tasks or trying to develop end-user applications and attempts to explain how an ontology can be useful to them and how can they evaluate an ontology for their needs. We also consider a concrete scenario of representing and reasoning with music preferences to show how the ontology concepts apply to a specific situat...

Forensic science is an applied science based on the laws of physics and chemistry. Over time, a set of fundamental concepts has developed that apply specifically to a forensic analysis. Traditionally, five concepts have been articulated: transfer, identification, individualization, association between source and target, and reconstruction. We suggest that an additional sixth concept, the idea t...
