Organizations are increasingly using the Internet to manage activities through geographically dispersed teams. This is particularly appropriate for knowledge acquisition where input from appropriate experts is vital, and placing constraints of time and location on the knowledge engineering process can undermine effective access. This article reports on WebGrid-III, a system using extended reper...

This paper presents a general approach to designing a computer opponent for nondeterministic adversarial games which is able to learn from interaction with a human expert. This approach is based on an integration of planning, knowledge acquisition and learning. We illustrate this approach with WARGLES (WARGame LEarning System), which plays strategic level wargames. WARGLES consists of a game pl...

One of the major issues for knowledge management in a project environment is the poor project success analysis and the lack of proper documentation on the results of the previous projects. In this research, we investigate in which way project success analysis, presented as a framework, can improve knowledge management in project environment. An empirical research was conducted in order to defin...

In this paper, we introduce a set of methodological steps for knowledge acquisition applied to the organization of biomedical information through ontologies. Those steps are tested in a real case involving Human T Cell Lymphotropic Virus (HTLV), which causes myriad infectious diseases. We hope to contribute to providing suitable knowledge representation of scientific domains.

The drive to improve the quality and reliability of model based water management has resulted in a number of quality assurance guidelines. Up to now all of these guidelines were available only in the form of handbooks. Within the HarmoniQuA project a software-based modelling Knowledge Base and support tools have been developed, that greatly enhance the way quality assurance guidelines are appli...

Objective: The study aimed to assess the effect of self-directed learning on knowledge acquisition (first and second exam) among undergraduate nursing students at Albaha University. Methods: A quasi-experimental design was used to compare two unequal groups of nursing students in Albaha University. A convenience sampling technique was used to select the undergraduate nursing students at Al-Baha...
