In this paper we discuss the role organizational narrations can play in the field of knowledge management and develop a model on qualifying and evaluating narrations. As a necessary prerequisite we first clarify the epistemological nature of narrative knowledge opposed to discursive knowledge by referring to a distinction drawn by the French philosopher Lyotard. Narrative knowledge is character...

Protocol narrations are an informal means to describe, in an idealistic manner, the functioning of cryptographic protocols as a single intended sequence of cryptographic message exchanges among the protocol’s participants.

In this paper we present a system to include knowledge in the process of organizing and disseminating heritage using 360 panoramic images. With our solution, data in heterogeneous digital archives are integrated according to a semantic model and are enriched by the contribution of domain experts which specify stories, called narrations, reflecting their knowledge of the heritage. Data in digita...

We present an interpretation of protocol narrations by means of translation into the spi-calculus. Our translation allows participants to play multiple roles in parallel, leading to a more general interpretation that considers a wider range of attacks than previous work. We test the validity of our translation by introducing correspondence assertions [Woo and Lam, S&P 1993] to both the protocol...
