1. INTRODUCTION This paper describes the database design knowledge of a computer-assisted database design tool, called the Intelligent Database Design Kit (IDDK): useil to develop database sy&ms. The IDDK knowledge base 1s stored in the form of a database dictionary based on an extended entity-relationship-ataibute model. The database dictionary is central to the knowledge engineering approach ...

In this work we present a novel approach for the utilization of observed relations between entity pairs in the task of triple argument prediction. The approach is based on representing observations in a shared, continuous vector space of structured relations and text. Results on a recent benchmark dataset demonstrate that the new model is superior to existing sparse feature models. In combinati...

Purpose – Aims to study the role tacit knowledge plays in shaping the knowledge base of the knowledge-intensive growing organizations using the storytelling method. Design/methodology/approach – Stories were collected from eight human resource professionals working in eight different knowledge-intensive growing organizations in New Zealand. Interviews containing loosely structured questions wer...

The paper presents a scheme for categorizing knowledge engineering tools. The classification of knowledge acquisition systems has revealed some interesting facts about these systems. It seems that systems which are able to work on multiple tasks produce very shallow (i.e., not of expert-level) knowledge bases. On the other hand, systems which produce expert-level knowledge bases function on a s...

Cloud infrastructures needs to become more smarter and dynamic in managing resources, requiring new solutions and tools to cope with processes of configuration and reconfiguration, automatic scaling, elastic computing and healthiness control. This paper presents a Smart Cloud solution for automatically managing cloud infrastructures, and programming the monitoring aspects directly from the conf...

A feminist perspective on educational administration in Canada is provided in this paper, which reviews feminist critiques of educational administration research and offers a synthesis of contemporary Canadian feminist research. The main thesis is that the Canadian knowledge base has begun to incorporate the concepts of "Canadian" and "education"; however, Canadian women's experiences have rare...

This paper explores the drivers of innovative output of firms that belong to emerging clusters, defined as those clusters that are not as “vibrant” or leading as e.g. Silicon Valley, but yet strive to emerge in the international competition. Using evidence of two wine clusters in Italy and Chile, this paper finds that firms’ internal knowledge bases and their external openness are more signific...

The objective of this paper is to capture the extent of sectoral heterogeneity across Professional Service sectors. It is argued that ongoing scholarly disputes on their boundaries within the geography of industry have lost sight of the intrinsic diversity that characterizes these activities. The present study connects this cue to research on sectoral patterns and elaborates an empirical analys...

This paper presents a new approach for on-line handwritten signature verification, which exploits the potential of multiple reference sets. Preliminarily, system performance is estimated using different sets of reference signatures for each writer. Successively, reference sets leading to diverse system behaviors are enrolled into the personal knowledge-base and used in a multi-stage verificatio...

A major step in building guideline-based clinical care systems is encoding medical knowledge in guideline documents for interpretation by the computer. Guideline models provide the structure to encapsulate guideline knowledge. Developers who are familiar with the guideline model and domain experts who have relevant medical knowledge work as a team to encode guidelines using knowledge acquisitio...
