Web log analysis is an innovative and unique field constantly formed and changed by the convergence of various emerging Web technologies. Due to its interdisciplinary character, the diversity of issues it addresses, and the variety and number of Web applications, it is the subject of many distinctive and diverse research methodologies. This chapter examines research methodologies used by contri...

CogInfoCom is a novel interdisciplinary field of research – seen as a result of the merging of cognitive aspects and infocommunicative technologies in recent years. Research on CogInfoCom has enabled researchers and developers in engineering to explore the degree of co-existence of human and artificial intelligence in different fields. Such interdisciplinary research also contributes to the map...

This paper presents a critical analysis of the economic impacts of past, ongoing, and planned research of BFRL’s construction systems integration and automation technologies (CONSIAT) program. The CONSIAT program is an interdisciplinary research effort within BFRL to develop key enabling technologies, standard communication protocols, and advanced measurement technologies needed to facilitate t...

The purpose of this paper is to analyze shifts in the producer– consumer relationship resulting from the increased use of digital technologies. In this study, we aim to understand how this relationship is fundamentally changing and the role of digital technologies in such a change. Therefore, we provide a state-of-the-art review of information systems and management literature using analysis te...

As the cloud technologies are largely studied and mobile technologies are evolving, new directions for development of mobile learning tools deployed on cloud are proposed.. MLearning is treated as part of the ubiquitous learning paradigm and is a pervasive extension of E-Learning technologies. Development of such learning tools requires specific development strategies for an effective abstracti...

"Public Trust in Expert Knowledge: Narrative, Ethics, and Engagement" examines the social, cultural, and ethical ramifications of changing public trust in the expert biomedical knowledge systems of emergent and complex global societies. This symposium was conceived as an interdisciplinary project, drawing on bioethics, the social sciences, and the medical humanities. We settled on public trust ...

As one of the major methodologies used in the modeling of sustainability, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is widely used to evaluate the environmental impacts of emerging technologies and to enhance decision making towards sustainable development. However, most of the current LCA models are static and deterministic. More insights could be generated when LCA models are coupled with higher-resolution...

The development of continuing education is becoming more complex and more complicated, because the demands to education and training are growing, information overload is getting higher, knowledge is faster outdated, quality standards becomes more important, complex research and work environments require stronger crosslinks, and new technologies open new kinds of methodologies. Single organizati...

The high prevalence of adverse health outcomes related to intimate partner violence (IPV) is well documented. Yet we know little about the pathways that lead to adverse health outcomes. Research concerning the psychological, biological, neurological, behavioral, and physiological alterations following exposure to IPV--many of which are associated with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)--repre...

In any organization, dealing with lessons learned is a complex issue that involves people, processes and technologies. Although lessons learned processes are already well established in the project management community, the use of modern web technologies to support them is still in its infancy. This paper introduces a new model to manage lessons learned in PMBoK process groups. This model draws...
