Every scientific domain benefits from a unified understanding and categorization of terms. This article highlights lessons learned several years taxonomy terminology research in cybersecurity domain.

In an effort to examine the spread of large-scale cyber attacks, researchers have created various taxonomies. These taxonomies are purposefully built facilitate understanding and comparison these hence counter their spread. Yet, existing focus mainly on tech

End-user interactive access to complex information is one of the key functionalities of knowledge management systems. Traditionally, access paradigms have focused on retrieval of data on the basis of precise specifications: examples of this approach include queries on structured database systems, and information retrieval. However, most search tasks, and notably those typical of a knowledge wor...

Taxonomies are essential in science. By classifying objects or phenomena, they facilitate understanding and decision making. In this paper, we focus on the development of taxonomies for complex emerging technologies. This development raises specific challenges. More specifically, complex emerging technologies are often at the intersection of several areas, and the conceptual body of knowledge a...

1. Introduction The Question Ontology Project aims at providing a philosophical analysis and categorization of questions. The categorization is based on criteria such as linguistic patterns, semantic representations, formal structures of questions, and so on. On this basis, we have devised ten taxonomies of questions. We aim at building a model such that each question (except rhetorical and iro...

Automation does not mean humans are replaced; quite the opposite. Increasingly, humans are asked to interact with automation in complex and typically large-scale systems, including aircraft and air traffic control, nuclear power, manufacturing plants, military systems, homes, and hospitals. This is not an easy or error-free task for either the system designer or the human operator/automation su...

For Human Error in Medicine (second edition) M. S. Bogner (ed.) 2 Introduction There is great interest in reducing the frequency and consequences of " human error " in healthcare, similar to past efforts in aviation, nuclear power generation, and space operations. Overall, the study of " human error " has been approached two ways. One approach is that erratic people degrade an otherwise safe sy...

Despite their basic attractiveness as an interaction paradigm for controlling intelligent environments, the design of spoken dialog systems for this purpose raises some usability challenges that require careful attention. This paper examines closely the communication failures that can occur in the control of one particular type of intelligent environment: a smart home system that provides contr...

One of the modern paradigms to develop an application is object oriented analysis and design. In this paradigm, there are several objects and each object plays some specific roles in applications. In an application, we must distinguish between procedural semantics and declarative semantics for their implementation in a specific programming language. For the procedural semantics, we can write a ...
