This paper presents the proposed architecture and functionality of a knowledge-based system Webocrat. Proposed system is expected to play the role of an advanced communication forum enabling to create, store and share information among different kinds of users. Currently Webocrat focuses on the field of eDemocracy and therefore it is expected to bring public administration closer to citizens, m...

This paper illustrates a progressive work done to implement a smart computer-assisted question-answer system, which combines different AI tools and techniques. The system is being implemented to overcome the problem raised if program developers insufficiently explore the expert’s domain knowledge, which result an inadequate knowledge-based system to the task of providing good advice or making i...

In languages that use diacritical characters, if these special signs are stripped-off from a word, the resulted string of characters may not exist in the language, and therefore its normative form is, in general, easy to recover. However, this is not always the case, as presence or absence of a diacritical sign attached to a base letter of a word which exists in both variants, may change its gr...

We have implemented a knowledge system that integrates the many computational programs (technology codes) Boeing aerospace vehicle designers use, thereby expediting design analysis. Because this system separates facts about attributes of the current set of technology codes from general knowledge about running the codes, those who maintain the system can keep it continuously up to date at low co...

Knowledge-based applications are characterized by their use of machine-understandable formalizations of expert knowledge. Complex knowledge structures, and the features which exploit them, can have a significant effect on the effort needed to develop such applications. Means to estimate this effort are, however, lacking. Furthermore, precise benefits of such applications, which are directly att...

The overall aim of this paper is to provide a general setting for quantitative quality measures of Knowledge-Based System behavior which is widely applicable to many Knowledge-Based Systems. We propose a general approach that we call “degradation studies”: an analysis of how system output degrades as a function of degrading system input, such as incomplete or incorrect inputs. Such degradation ...

Knowledge is increasingly recognised as the key to determining competitiveness in the 21st century, emphasising the role of information, technology and learning in economic performance. The objective of this paper is to identify the importance and characteristics of a knowledge-based economy and to describe the current position of Korea in the process of transformation from a traditional resour...

We study the impact of Chief Executive Officer (CEO)’s IT knowledge on firm performance by leveraging the knowledge-based view and the influence of top management. We take an innovative approach by examining CEO’s conversation with financial analysts and investors in the earnings conference calls, which are considered as the biggest information event for listed companies. We measure CEO’s IT kn...

Skilling unquestionably plays the most practical role in creating innovations which will be financially, socially and economically sustainable in developing countries (DCs). And because we now live in an economic age dependent on knowledge and driven by the rapid and global advances in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), skilling in ICT is even more important. Key to participating...
