Currently, researches on Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) mainly focus on how to efficiently gather sensing data from WSN, but little attention has been paid to how to effectively manage the large amount of collected sensing data. Information Systems (IS) are appropriate tools for data input, storage, processing, and output. Knowledge Management (KM) further transforms useful information into dom...

Long-term renal function is compromised in patients receiving deceased donor kidneys which require cold storage exposure prior to transplantation. It is well established that extended cold storage induces renal damage and several labs, including our own, have demonstrated renal mitochondrial damage after cold storage alone. However, to our knowledge, few studies have assessed renal and mitochon...

We provide a framework for constructing leakage-resilient identification (ID) protocols in the bounded retrieval model (BRM) from proofs of storage (PoS) that hide partial information about the file. More precisely, we describe a generic transformation from any zero-knowledge PoS to a leakage-resilient ID protocol in the BRM. We then describe a ZK-PoS based on RSA which, under our transformatio...

Our economy is increasingly dependent on knowledge. Organizational memory (OM) contains knowledge that companies need to manage. This paper proposes a knowledge facilitating organizational memory (KFOM) to decipher a harmony mechanism of OM from the Oriental Yin and Yang perspective. KFOM clarifies an architecture to catapult the OM to organizational effectiveness. This architecture is made up ...

I present a framework for modeling memory, retrieval, perception, and their interactions. The models are inspired by Bayesian induction to determine optimal decisions, in the face of a memory system with inherently noisy storage and retrieval. The starting point for this work was the Retrieving Effectively from Memory (REM) model for episodic recognition (Shiffrin & Steyvers, 1997). The general...

This study is an exploratory investigation of the enabling roles of knowledge management for integrated circuit (IC) Designers, Distributors, and Manufacturers. This study explores the different enabling roles in terms of knowledge creation, storage/retrieval, transfer and application when businesses implement knowledge management in upstream, midstream, and downstream firms in the IC industry....

Frame knowledge representation systems lack two important capabilities that prevent them from scaling up to large applications: they do not support fast access to large knowledge bases (KBs), nor do they provide concurrent multiuser access to shared KBs. We describe the design and implementation of a storage subsystem that submerges a database management system (DBMS) within a knowledge represe...

This paper contains analysis of concept of a class within different object-oriented knowledge representation models. The main attention is paid to structure of the class and its efficiency in the context of data storage, using object-relational mapping. The main achievement of the paper is extension of concept of homogeneous class of objects by introducing concepts of single-core and multi-core...
