In this paper, we analyzed self-organizing map of conceptual and semantic relations for noun, discussing the semantic distinction between conceptual nouns for natural language processing and syntax acquisition, summarizing the lexical meaning and a detailed description of semantic lexical tagging of nouns. Our result reflects the noun-attribute associations and focuses on the conceptual relatio...

zinc is the first modelling language which supports solver and technique independence. this means that a high level conceptual model can be automatically mapped into an appropriate low level design model for a specific solver or technique. to date, zinc uses three different techniques to solve a model: constraint programming (cp), local search (ls), and mixed integer programming (mip). in this ...

Moral criticism is both a social act and the result of complex cognitive and conceptual processes. We demonstrate consensual features of various acts of moral criticism and locate them within a higher-order feature space. People showed consensus in judging 28 verbs of moral criticism on 10 features, and the judgment patterns formed a twodimensional space, defined by an intensity axis and an int...

Textual description of the concept plays an important role in the conceptual model comprehensibility. In this paper, the self-organizing map to test the model comprehensibility is suggested. An explanatory text of the concept is transformed into a numerical vector. Several vector spaces are build using the hyponymy of the concepts from the WordNet dictionary. The received conceptual model vecto...

Software organisations have for many years struggled to mature engineering practices using a variety of approaches. Over the last decade a new approach, known as software process improvement (SPI), has emerged and become widely used in the software industry. In this paper we position SPI in the landscape of initiatives that can be used in software organisations to mature their operations. A map...

This paper outlines a conceptual map that allows new academic staff in universities to see the relationship of teaching and learning within a context wider than their individual specialisations. These wider contexts include the institutional context and its sub-contexts, as well as local, national and international contexts. Examples are given to illustrate how the conceptual map has been appli...

We describe a computer model of how humans use concepts fluidly in order to create analogies. Our model is centered on the Slipnet, a network of overlapping concepts whose shapes are determined dynamically by the situations faced by the program. Reciprocally, the state of the Slipnet controls how the program perceives situations. The heart of what the program does, give two situations, is to pr...

This paper presents a detailed integration process for XML schemata called BInXS. BInXS adopts a global-as-view integration approach that builds a global schema from a set of heterogeneous XML schemata related to a same application domain. This bottom-up approach maps all element and attribute definitions in XML schemata to correspondent concepts at the global schema, allowing access to all dat...
