Stakeholder analysis was first explored as a methodology to assist business leaders with their strategic management functions. Stakeholder analysis has since expanded beyond the corporate arena. Stakeholders are a vital element in all complex systems problems; they are the customers, users, clients, suppliers, employees, regulators, and team members of a system. They fund a system, design it, b...

This study proposes a visual methodology to validate complex solution processes in the context of ill-structured problem solving. This experiment is anchored in the context of medical case-based teaching. The case validation activity proposed is modeled on the authentic case presentation practice performed by physicians. We are using a computer-based learning environment (BioWorld) to present a...

Introduced a new calculation method (K-method) for cognitive maps. K-method consists of two consecutive steps. In the first stage, allocated subgraph composed of all paths from one selected node (concept) to another node (concept) from the cognitive map (directed weighted graph). In the second stage, after the transition to an undirected graph (symmetrization adjacency matrix) the influence of ...

Cognitive neuroscience, as a discipline, links the biological systems studied by neuroscience to the processing constructs studied by psychology. By mapping these relations throughout the literature of cognitive neuroscience, we visualize the semantic structure of the discipline and point to directions for future research that will advance its integrative goal. For this purpose, network text an...

In text analysis studies coders have to make qualitative decisions. These decisions are based on interpretations of the texts under study. In such situations it is very helpful to have coding rules. These do not only help as an aid to the coder, but are also useful for readers of the research report that will follow. The rules make visible in considerable extent how the coding task has been per...
