DEFINITION A distributed database is a database where data management is distributed over several nodes (computers) in a computer network. In a central DBMS the data is managed by one node whereas in a distributed DBMS the data is managed by several nodes. A distributed DBMS is a database manager consisting of several nodes distributed over a network. Each node is a database manager by itself t...

Banks expect the mobile channel to become more important for collaborating with customers. However, a lack of trust continues to prevent a faster dissemination of such mobile banking services, especially for the private banking customer segment. Hence, this paper discusses various determinants of trust and follows a theory-driven approach rooted in the collaboration engineering methodology. Gro...

Using a sample of 114 leaders (described by 516 team members), we show empirically that the association between leader relational transparency and receptiveness to members is indirect (through respect) conditional on humility. When transparent expresses humility, he/she conveys respect perceived as more receptive employees toward him/her. The negative, however, when non-humble. Our paper contri...

Relational database indexes, used to speed up access to data stored in a database, are maintained when data in the source table of the index is modified. Therefore, relational database index management can involve time consuming manual analysis and specialized development efforts, and impose organizational overhead and database usage costs, especially in the context of big data. To address this...

Maximum entropy reasoning (ME-reasoning) based on relational conditionals combines both the capability of ME-distributions to express uncertain knowledge in a way that excellently fits to commonsense, and the great expressivity of an underlying first-order logic. The drawbacks of this approach are its high complexity which is generally paired with a costly domain size dependency, and its non-tr...

To stay competitive, organizations frequently need to access and manage knowledge resources external to their boundaries. Inter-organizational relationships (IORs) are a typical mechanism to achieve these goals. Relational governance mechanisms are germane to this context and knowledge sharing routines (KSR), a component of relational governance, are critical to knowledge management in such sit...

Semantic transparency is known to play an important role in the storage and processing of complex words (e.g. Marslen-Wilson et al. 1994), and human raters of transparency achieve high levels of agreement (e.g. Frisson et al. 2008, Munro et al. 2010). In the case of noun-noun compounds, overall transparency is largely determined by the transparency of the individual constituents. For example, R...

Picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) aim to efficiently provide the radiologists with all images in a suitable quality for diagnosis. Modern standards for digital imaging and communication in medicine (DICOM) comprise alphanumerical descriptions of study, patient, and technical parameters. Currently, this is the only information used to select relevant images within PACS. Since te...
