BACKGROUND Knowledge exchange portals are emerging as web tools that can help facilitate knowledge management in public health. We conducted a review to better understand the nature of these portals and their contribution to knowledge management in public health, with the aim of informing future development of portals in this field. METHODS A systematic literature search was conducted of the ...

Offshore outsourcing has facilitated exchange of knowledge and services with clients and suppliers situated in diverse economic markets. To better manage knowledge exchange and mitigate risks from international partnerships, client and suppliers use various elements of relational governance practice. This study investigates three cases engaged in supplier-client relationships, to examine how th...

In this paper, we establish the notion of divertibility as a protocol property as opposed to the existing notion as a language property (see Okamoto, Ohta [OO90]). We give a definition of protocol divertibility that applies to arbitrary 2-party protocols and is compatible with Okamoto and Ohta’s definition in the case of interactive zero-knowledge proofs. Other important examples falling under ...

This paper proposes a knowledge sharing and collaboration system model (InKB) based on Internet. I t gives a way to collaborate and share knowledge between Web-based knowledge systems. InKB model has three layers. Data exchange layer, collaboration layer and knowledge-based application layer. Data exchange layer solves the problem of how to represent and manipulate knowledge. Collaboration laye...

Business incubators are designed to create change, and companies associate with them because they want to change. Acquiring, sharing and using information are the basis of the exchanges through which these changes are accomplished. The information exchange process thus provides a useful way to define the engines for the changes that accompany technology transfer. Van de Ven and Poole’s typology...

We show that it is possible to achieve perfect forward secrecy in two-message key exchange (KE) protocols that satisfy even stronger security properties than provided by the extended Canetti-Krawczyk (eCK) security model. In particular, we consider perfect forward secrecy in the presence of adversaries that can reveal the long-term secret keys of the actor of a session and reveal ephemeral secr...

In healthcare settings knowledge exchange among important stakeholders such as doctors, family and patients, and other care providers is a critical imperative. However, such a community modelled approach is missing, limited in scope or its business value not well understood. In this study, the authors illustrate the value potential and subsequent development of a business model for knowledge ex...

Knowledge exchange between heterogeneous communities of practice has been recognized as the critical source of innovation and creation of new knowledge. This paper considers the problem of enabling such cross community knowledge exchange through knowledge visualization. We discuss the social nature of knowledge construction and describe main requirements for practical solutions to the given pro...
