New impulses from theoretical discussions on urban planning strengthen the role of participation in urban planning. Combining this development with the options computerand network-based technologies offer promises to improve the citizens' satisfaction with the results of planning procedures. We summarise the new theoretical approaches and discuss first examples and further ideas to realise them...

Knowledge systems development and use have been significantly encumbered by the difficulties of eliciting and formalizing the expertise upon which knowledge workers rely. This paper approaches the problem from an examination of the knowledge competencies of knowledge workers in order to define a universe of discourse for knowledge elicitation. It outlines two categories and several types of kno...

The authors describe the development of the Dorothy M. Wylie Nursing Leadership Institute, an innovative partnership of the Nursing Effectiveness, Outcomes and Utilization Research Unit at the University of Toronto site and nurse consultants with expertise in organizational and human resource development. The context for the initiative, needs and rationale, supporting literature and the coaliti...

The Halden Virtual Reality Centre (HVRC) of the OECD Halden Reactor Project aims to provide expertise and an advanced facility for the development of VR-based tools to meet various industry needs. The primary areas of focus are control room design, decommissioning planning, and maintenance and operations training. Both research and development work is performed at the centre, with the ultimate ...

This study describes an alternative development of metaheuristic approaches to automate a one dimensional problem. Extensive computational testing is done to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed heuristic, a Variable Neighbourhood Search (VNS)-based algorithm. Several heuristics algorithms that have been used for solving the bin packing problem, Exact algorithm, Random Algorithm, First...

In this paper, the authors break down elements of what it means to be an analytical chemist expose underlying knowledge structures that contribute specialist contextual expertise. An appreciation structure provides first step in designing ways scaffold student development We have identified two critical gaps need bridged for students achieve this: between complementary networked can impede high...

An expert is a person whose performance in a given domain is superior to that of the large majority of the population. Recursively, a super-expert is an expert whose performance is superior to that of the large majority of the expert population. The study of the development of expertise has been the province of psychology, but has also attracted interest in other fields such as biology, educati...
