Abstract Implementation of biomimetics in practical innovation strategies still faces various impediments. Multidisciplinary communication is one the most recognized one. Enabling teammates having cognitive and conceptual frameworks to properly exchange information a key lever for optimization. In previous study, we performed comparative analysis biologists’ engineers’ order support establishme...

Increasingly, climate researchers are pressured to generate products and tools from their research that support informed decision-making for increased social environmental resilience. Despite the goal of these integrate science into decision-making, little follow-up study is conducted after resilience released understand effectiveness or application. It important as limited resources across fed...

Music, engineering, mathematics, and many other disciplines have established notations for writing their documents. The effectiveness of each of these notations can be hampered by the circumstances in which it is being used, or by a user’s disability or cultural background. Adjusting the notation can help, but the requirements of different cases often conflict, meaning that each new document wi...

Previous efforts in end-user development have focused on facilitating the mechanics of learning programming, leaving aside social and cultural factors equally important in getting youth engaged in programming. As part of a 4-month long ethnographic study, we followed two 12-year-old participants as they learned the programming software Scratch and its associated file-sharing site, scratch.mit.e...

Testing of biometric systems requires the consideration of aspects beyond technical and statistical parameters. Especially for testing biometric techniques based on behavior, human factors like intention and forgery strength need to be considered. In this paper, a test tool to support skilled forgeries by test subjects is presented for handwriting verification systems. The software tool has bee...

This paper discusses practical development of business rules (BR) systems. The main conceptual foundations of BR are discussed, and selected tools for BR design and implementation are described. An application of a rule-based systems design tool (Mirella Designer) for BR design is proposed. Business rules visual representation using XTT in Mirella Designer is both transparent and compact. The u...

In this article, an attempt will be made to discuss how websites create and maintain the online identity of medical care providers. To discuss this issue in greater detail, the author has chosen Actor-NetworkTheory since an ANT approach makes it possible to study the role of living and nonliving entities in shaping the online identity of healthcare suppliers and to concentrate on the networks a...

Dialog game tools are text chat applications which aim to structure and promote students' collaborative learning by having them select a label and sentence-opener for each message they type to their learning partner. In this experiment, we compared students’ learning from discussions via a dialog game tool to their learning via a standard freechat application. Students discussed topic questions...
