Most application development happens in the context of complex APIs; reference documentation for APIs has grown tremendously in variety, complexity, and volume, and can be difficult to navigate. There is a growing need to develop well-organized ways to access the knowledge latent in the documentation; several research efforts deal with the organization (ontology) of APIrelated knowledge. Extens...

Many companies have difficulties with creating and maintaining proper documentation of the systems they build. In my Master’s graduation project, I investigated a new way of creating and maintaining documentation of any type of system. The project rests on two pillars: generating documentation from a central repository on one hand, and adding traceability support on the other. Since the project...

This document introduces PlDoc, a literate programming system for Prolog. Starting point for PlDoc was minimal distraction from the programming task and maximal immediate reward, attempting to seduce the programmer to use the system. Minimal distraction is achieved using structured comments that are as closely as possible related to common Prolog documentation practices. Immediate reward is pro...

The growth of the agile approach usage comes with a deemphasis on formal documentation (explicit knowledge) and an increased reliance personal interactions (tacit for knowledge transfer. However, sharing tacit poses challenges. is prone to hoarding, as well loss from employee turnover reassignment during periods significant organizational changes. This study proposes model that frames co-agents...

The documentation of an architecture is as important as the architecture itself. Tasked with communicating the structure and behaviour of a system and its constituent components to various stakeholders, the documentation is not trivial to produce. It becomes even harder in open, modular systems where components can be replaced and reused in each progressive build. How should documentation for s...

The documentation of psychopathology is core to the clinical practice of the psychiatrist and clinical psychologist. However, both in initial as well as further training and specialization in their fields, this particular aspect of their work receives scanty attention only. Yet, for the past 50 years, the Association for Methodology and Documentation in Psychiatry (AMDP) System has been in exis...

PURPOSE The adoption of electronic medical record (EMR) system is gradually increasing. However, various time-motion studies reveal conflicting data regarding time effectiveness on workflow due to computerization. One of the major issues for physicians is their uncertainty with EMRs' potential impact of time on workflow. A tertiary eye hospital in south India was in the process of implementing ...

OBJECTIVES Georgetown University has a student run Emergency Medical Services (EMS) organization with over 100 emergency medical technicians (EMTs). We set out to determine whether implementing an electronic patient care report (ePCR) system was associated with improved physical exam documentation. METHODS This study evaluated documentation of the physical exam on prehospital patient care rep...

This paper presents an approach that enlivens existing documentation, to efficiently support users performing procedural tasks. We describe an approach that automatically creates, in real-time, correspondences between the actions performed by users and the steps described in online documentation for the procedure being performed. Using these correspondences, our Macro Illustrator system can hig...
