Knowledge management (KM) and knowledge management system (KMS) success is an issue that needs to be explored. The Knowledge Management Foundations workshop held at the Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences in January 2006 discussed this issue and reached agreement that it is important for the credibility of the KM discipline that we be able to define KM success. Also, Turban and A...

This note remarks that small-gain results for a negative feedback loop around a monotone system can be seen as consequences of results concerning an extended monotone system.

This paper shortly introduces features of a software system called PANDORA-BOX. 1 It shows a novel use of timelinebased planning as the core element in a dynamic training environment for crisis managers. A trainer is provided with a combination of planning and execution functionalities that allow him to maintain and adapt a “lesson plan” as the basis for the interaction between him and the invo...

We can find the response of an open-loop system due to given input using any of the methods presented in this textbook. The response obtained is strictly determined by information about the system mathematical model, system input, and system initial conditions. In control theory and its applications, given system input and initial conditions, the goal is for the system output to have a desired ...

Processes may require to execute the same activity in different stages of the process. A human modeler can express this by creating two different task nodes labeled with the same activity name (thus duplicating the task). However, as events in an event log often are labeled with the activity name, discovery algorithms that derive tasks based on labels only cannot discover models with duplicate ...

Implementing an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system demands a significant amount of effort from different areas in the company and also entails a profound change in the way that people perform their jobs as well as the company’s organizational structure. ERP is defined by Turban (1) as “a process of planning and managing all resources and their use in the entire enterprise. ERP systems ar...

journey to Jabalpur flight to Delhi was delightful. Thai Airlines do not 9uarantee to transport you to Heaven, but their airhostesses do their best. Nothing, in my experience, fuels fantasies of the middle-aged male better than the aPproach of a slim, curvaceous Siamese beauty in a hip-hugging sari, delicately proferring an orchid and a ^arm smile full of Eastern promise. I was still up in the ...

It is conjectured that a hyperbolic knot complement does not contain a closed embedded totally geodesic surface. In this paper, we show that there are no such surfaces in the complements of hyperbolic 3-bridge knots and double torus knots. Some topological criteria for a closed essential surface failing to be totally geodesic are given. Roughly speaking, sufficiently ‘complicated’ surfaces can ...
