An exploratory study of knowledge strategy in a knowledge-intensive firm using a strategy-as-practice approach An exploratory study of knowledge strategy in a knowledge-intensive firm using a strategy-as-practice approach Summary We analyse the knowledge strategy (Zack 1999, 2002) in a knowledge-intensive firm, using a Strategy-as-Practice approach (Whittington 1996, 2006), two major research f...

Endgame heuristics are often incorperated as part of the evaluation function used in Chinese chess programs. In our program, Contemplation, we have proposed an automatic strategy to construct a large set of endgame heuristics. In this paper, we propose a conflict resolution strategy to eliminate the conflicts among the constructed heuristic database, which is called endgame knowledge base. In o...

The Web is becoming in many respects a powerful tool for supporting business strategy as companies are quickly becoming more and more reliant on new Web-based technologies to capitalize on new business opportunities. However, this introduces additional managerial problems and risks that have to be taken into consideration, if they are not to be left behind. In this chapter we explore the Web’s ...

The important role given to domain ontologies for knowledge representation implies increasing need for development and maintenance of them. However, we have a scarcity of tools supporting the life cycle from creation to management and adaptation. Our research group focuses on developing an autonomic process for knowledge representation through a systematic evaluation and redesign of ontologies....

Nowadays Fuzzy Logic Controllers have been succesfully applied to a wide range of engineering control processes. Several tasks have to be performed in order to design an intelligent control system of this kind for a concrete application. One of the most important and diicult ones is the extraction of the expert known knowledge of the controlled system. The aim of this paper is to present an evo...

Here is presented a platform for automatic composition of inductive learning systems using ontologies called CAMLET, based on knowledge modeling and ontologies engineering technique. CAMLET constructs an inductive learning system with better competence to a given data set, using process and object ontologies. Afterwards, CAMLET instantiates and re nes a constructed system based on the following...

This paper introduces the new focus Strategy Visualization in the larger context of knowledge visualization and a case study. Strategy Visualization is defined as the systematic use of complementary visual representations to improve the analysis, development, formulation, communication, and implementation of strategies in organizations. Strategy Visualization is thus more than a mapping of meas...

A prevailing view in contemporary philosophy of mind is that zombies are logically possible. I argue, via a thought experiment, that if this prevailing view is correct, then I could be transformed into a zombie. If I could be transformed into a zombie, then surprisingly, I am not certain that I am conscious. Regrettably, this is not just an idiosyncratic fact about my psychology; I think you ar...
