In this paper we extend the concept of exception spaces as defined by Cost and Salzberg (Cost and Salzberg, 1993), in the context of exemplar-based reasoning. Cost et al. defined exception spaces based on the goodness, in terms of performance, of an exemplar. While this is straightforward when using exemplars for classification problems, such a definition does not exist for regression problems....

Innovative query interfaces to knowledge and database systems must go beyond simply returning the requested information. They must be capable of producing intentional answers when a description improves the understanding of an answer [Mot94], producing conditional answers when no one answer matches the conditions of a query, and using ontological information in processing a query. They should b...

Two separate qualitative research studies are designed to gain an insight into the practice of knowledge management and marketing in the engineering and biotechnology industries. The findings show that the engineering industry is practicing knowledge management to varying degrees. The biotechnology industry clearly differentiates between data, information and knowledge. With the new knowledge g...

Distribution of data and manipulation allows for solving larger problems and executing applications that are distributed in nature. In this paper we present a grid-based distributed Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm. The Grid is a distributed computing infrastructure that enables coordinated resource sharing within dynamic organizations consisting of individuals, in situations and resource...

As the knowledge perspective has become more important and knowledge has been accepted as a resource with ever increasing importance for an organization's success, it has also changed the views on cooperation. Working in partnerships focused on supporting each other in creating and sharing knowledge seems to be an efficient way to reduce costs and enable synergistic effects. This has given rise...
