The Agile Web Engineering (AWE) Process is an agile or lightweight process that has been created to tackle the challenges that have been identified in Web engineering: short development life-cycle times; multidisciplinary development teams; delivery of bespoke solutions comprising software and data. AWE helps teams identify and manage the interactions between the business, domain, software and ...

The main goal of the CLT Cloud project is to equip lexica, morphological processors, parsers and other software components developed within CLT (Centre of Language Technology) with so called web API:s, thus making them available on the Internet in the form of web services. We present a proof-of-concept implementation of the CLT Cloud server where we use the logic programming language Prolog for...

In this paper we explore the range of applicability of abductive reasoning for knowledge discovery. In particular, we discuss a novel form of abduction, called creative abduction, where new knowledge is generated in the process of explaining observed events, and demonstrate its relevance to knowledge discovery. The main contribution of this paper is twofold: First, we show that creative abducti...

• Once moving on sand, the monk continues to move in a straight line until he encounters either a walkable square (in which case he moves onto it) or a a raked square (in which case he stops moving). The monk may not turn corners during a single move while moving on sand. These two rules are central to the challenge of the game – if the monk could be moved over the sand on a square-by-square ba...

Creative activities based on combinations are now being carried on everywhere in the world. Whether or not the creative activity succeeds depends on the combinations used in it. Since there are tremendous numbers of candidate combinations, it is impossible to decide at a glance which should be used. Thus, there must be a method of efficiently discovering combinations which are effective in maki...

Ubiquitous connectivity has brought about continuous interruptions to our thought processes and tasks. Many people have expressed the concern about potential deterioration of performance and productivity caused by the division of attention and fragmentation of thoughts associated with interruptions in the mass media and on the web. This research offers a novel insight into the effects of interr...

Creativity involves choosing to direct resources toward developing novel ideas. Information technology development, including software engineering, requires creative discourse among team members to design and implement a novel, competitive product that meets usability, performance, and functional requirements set by the customer. In this paper, we present results that correlate metrics of creat...
