Organizational culture represents a key success factor in highly competitive environments, such as, the IT sector. Thus, IT companies need to understand what makes up a culture that fosters employee performance. While existing research typically uses self-report questionnaires to study the relation of culture and the success of companies, the validity of this approach is often discussed and res...

Information on water quality, in particular on sediment, phosphorus and nitrogen exports from catchments, is required by catchment managers and other stakeholder groups to determine appropriate management options for water quality issues. However intensive spatial and temporal data on concentrations or loads of these nutrients is relatively scarce. Given this constraint, nutrient export models ...

The Wireless Internet Collaboration System allows wireless smartphones to be used for mathematics communication, that is, for the creation and exchange of mathematical formulas, diagrams, and text between two or more participants. The system solves the problem of providing the expressive power of mathematical notation on devices with limited input, output, and processing capabilities. The syste...

Planning, or making decisions for the evolution of the European air traffic management system (EATMS) involves a careful evaluation of alternative scenarios, from various perspectives: technical, operational, economic, or even environmental. This assessment is often carried out through experimentations, in which modeling and simulation contribute significantly, by reducing the turn−around time ...

Records and information management (RIM) is managed based on the lifecycle concept which significantly marks three phases consist of the creation, maintenance and disposal. Classification is one of the elements in the creation phase alongside with capture. However, not much research were conducted on function-based classification making records left unclassified. Function-based classification i...

Learning objectives (LOs) are statements of intent that describe what a student will know and be able to do at the end of a course. However, the definition of well-formed LOs is a challenge in instructional design. This paper describes a competency-based approach to support the integrated definition of LOs in learning, education and training systems. This approach is based on a system-wide defi...

One of the unique characteristics of the Key Stone Project VLBI system is its design for automation. The observation system is highly automated and frequent geodetic VLBI experiments can be performed without the need for human operations. The observation system is designed so that anybody can operate the system with a minimal amount of training. This paper gives an overview of the system and it...

In the face of a more rapid pace of scientific development, academic societies and competitive organizations alike are seeking new methods for content analysis. This paper describes a theoretically driven action research study that delivers a technology-mediated solution for specifying, organizing, representing and using elements of meaning in a body of knowledge. The theoretical basis, 'ontolo...
