Delivering professional service to its clients, knowledge is auditing firm’s core capital. In conducting its practices and businesses, auditing firms not only capture knowledge within its organization, among its own people but also capturing and protecting the information of their clients. The nature of auditing firms somehow rather controls the flow of knowledge in the firms. Knowledge managem...

The purpose of this position paper is to introduce the prototype of a design product knowledge representing system which is theoretically guided by our recent work on extending Function-Behaviour-Structure ontology. The basic constructions and data-storing strategies are presented in the paper along with its major interface, thus to give an outline of the working pattern of this system.

Developer profiles are representations that capture the characteristics of a software developer, including software development knowledge, organizational information, and communication networks. In recommendation systems in software engineering, developer profiles can be used for personalizing recommendations and for recommending developers who can assist with a task. This chapter describes tec...

This paper presents a framework for using analogical reasoning and generation to automate the process of designing forms and reports. We begin by separating successful cases into different regions, and then storing them in a knowledge base that allows future retrieval based on identity and similarity. The target can be obtained through a three-layered structure matching and analogical reasoning...

An important problem for the success of ontology-based applications is how to provide persistent storage and querying. For that purpose, many RDF tools capable of storing and querying over a knowledge base, have been proposed. Recently, fuzzy extensions to ontology languages have gained considerable attention especially due to their ability to handle vague information. In this paper we investig...

Software development processes need to cover usability relevant information. Although several methods have been proposed how to collect usability relevant information, it is still an unsolved problem how to deal with this information and to ensure its availability and proper management at all relevant stages in the development process. This paper provides a framework to structure all relevant a...

In recognizing knowledge as a new resource in gaining organizational competitiveness, knowledge management suggests a method in managing and applying knowledge for improving organizational performance. Much knowledge management research has focused on identifying, storing, and disseminating process related knowledge in an organized manner. Applying knowledge to decision making has a significant...

A discussion on involvement of knowledge based methods in implementation of user friendly computer programs for disabled people is the goal of this paper. The paper presents a concept of a computer program that is aimed to aid blind people dealing with music and music notation. The concept is solely based on computational intelligence methods involved in implementation of the computer program. ...

Humans are capable of storing and retrieving sequences of complex structured events. Here we report a study in which we establish the psychological structure of event knowledge and then use parametric event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging to identify its neural correlates. We demonstrate that event knowledge is organized along dissociable dimensions that are reflected in distincti...
