Knowledge Management Systems that enhance and facilitate the process of finding the right expert in an organization have gained much attention in recent years. This chapter explores the potential benefits and challenges of using ontologies for improving existing systems. A modeling technique from requirements engineering is used to evaluate the proposed system and analyze the impact it would ha...

To accomplish knowledge intensive tasks, people in organizations must be able to find the knowledge or information needed to solve complex problems. For this, people often rely on their past experiences, explicit documents, and others who have the needed expertise. Knowledge Management Systems that enhance and facilitate the process of finding the right expert in an organization have gained muc...

Functional neuroimaging is a useful approach to study the neural correlates of visual perceptual expertise. The purpose of this paper is to review the functional-neuroimaging methods that have been implemented in previous research in this context. First, we will discuss research questions typically addressed in visual expertise research. Second, we will describe which kinds of stimuli are emplo...

This paper explores the management of expertise in offshore outsourcing projects. While the study of expertise development and coordination gained some attention in recent years, much of this research has been on co-located teams. Little is known about the way expertise is managed in distributed contexts and the challenges distributed teams face when attempting to develop and share expertise. T...

In Cognitive Psychology, the experimental study of expertise involves applying concepts and methods from a number of areas: problem solving, learning, and ergonomics, to name just a few. The study of expertise provides a focus for basic research on many phenomena of cognition, such as memory limitations and reasoning biases. It also provides a focus for discussion of issues in cognitive theory,...

Experimental philosophers have empirically challenged the connection between intuition and philosophical expertise. This paper reviews these challenges alongside other research findings in cognitive science on expert performance and argues for three claims. First, evidence taken to challenge philosophical expertise may also be explained by the wellresearched failures and limitations of genuine ...
