As service-orientation becomes more and more popular in the computer science community, more research is done in applying service-oriented applications in specific fields, including knowledge discovery. In this paper we investigate how the service-oriented paradigm can benefit knowledge discovery, and how specific services and the knowledge discovery process as a whole should be designed. We pr...

1.1 Design-oriented models and understanding-oriented models This paper reports an attempt to construct a design-oriented model of the planning and control of multiple task work (PCMT) based on observations of secretarial office administration (SOA). The model is design-oriented in that it is intended to assist a designer to reason about the behaviours of an interactive human-computer worksyste...

Modeling is a key task in order to analyze, understand, and improve business processes and organizational structures, and to support the design, implementation, and management of information and communication technologies in general and knowledge management systems (KMSs) in particular. Process-oriented knowledge management (Maier, 2004; Maier & Remus, 2003) is a promising approach to provide t...

The object-oriented modeling of interactive multimedia applications in the OMMMA approach is designed to enable multimedia software developers to create comprehensive analysis and design models of multimedia software. For development of highly usable multimedia applications, this approach must be embedded in a more holistic development process that takes a user-oriented perspective on multimedi...

Approaches to teaching “Introduction to Programming” vary considerably. However, two broad categories may be considered: product oriented vs process oriented. Whereas, in the former the final product is most significant, in the latter the process for achieving the final product is also considered very important. Process oriented programming courses strive to equip students with good programming...

this paper presents an appropriate categorization of business processes in order to study the different aspects of knowledge management for each kind of business processes. in this categorization, business processes are classified into the four categories including work-flow oriented, decision oriented, information oriented and motivation oriented. then, the special attributes and knowledge man...

The object-oriented methodology is now used more and more in industry without scientific evidence supporting its claimed benefit of applicability to a wide range of tasks. Prior research in human problem solving suggests that if the characteristics of the task and tool match, a better result is achieved than if there is a mismatch. To investigate this, we replicated an experiment by having two ...

Aspect-oriented programming is a new software design and implementation technique proposed by researchers at Xerox PARC. This project is assessing the claims of aspect-oriented programming to improve the software development cycle for particular kinds of applications. The project is divided into three experiments, the first of which has been completed. These experiments have been designed to in...
