In this paper we look at what industry can expect by way of developments in requirements management tools in the short, medium and long-term future.

This paper describes the modification and outcome of a performance test applied to a university wide learning management system under realistic conditions to identify usability problems and to compare measures such as success rate, task time and user satisfaction with requirements. Two user groups with 20 test users each took part in this study. During the whole test psychophysiological paramet...

The purpose of this paper is to introduce the model we built to represent financial information in an efficient way. This kind of information shows an unquestionable delay on the field of knowledge management, and this issue is more and more crucial as the requirements on financial reporting increase. We will describe the particular nature of laws as a knowledge source, and amongst other, the n...

This paper examines coalition formation problems from the viewpoint of mechanism design. We consider the case where (i) the list of feasible coalitions (those coalitions which are permitted to form) is given in advance; and (ii) each individual’s preference is a ranking over those feasible coalitions which include this individual. We are interested in requiring the mechanism to guarantee each c...

The requirements on learning support from knowledge work differ compared to traditional work. Based on those observations an approach for supporting learning in knowledge work is proposed considering requirements from e-learning as well as from knowledge management. In addition to traditional e-learning, on-demand e-learning takes the current situation of the knowledge worker into consideration...

We consider the common-knowledge paradox raised in [HM90]: common knowledge is necessary for coordination, but common knowledge is unattainable in the real world because of temporal imprecision. We discuss two solutions to this paradox: (1) modeling the world with a coarser granularity, and (2) relaxing the requirements for coordination.

The adoption and use of ICT to enhance and facilitate Knowledge Management (KM) has brought to focus the urgent need to come out with new methods, tools and techniques in the development of KM systems frameworks, knowledge processes and knowledge technologies to promote effective management of knowledge for improved service deliveries in higher education. To succeed in KM, higher education inst...

The process of review of both the Basel Capital Adequacy Accord and the EU New Capital Adequacy Framework is now entering its final phase. Although leasing falls within the scope of the Basel Committee’s proposals for measuring appropriate capital requirements, little is known empirically about the credit risk associated with leasing. Many studies have recently been conducted in order to measur...

Currently, many hospitals are investigating the use of workflow management systems in order to provide support for healthcare processes. However, contemporary workflow management systems fall short in supporting care processes which require flexible execution options. In this paper, we investigate the flexibility requirements that need to be satisfied in order to support various kinds of health...
