The theory of rough set is the current research focus for knowledge discovery, attribute reduction is one of crucial problem in rough set theory. Most existing attribute reduction algorithms are based on algebra and information representations, discernibility matrix is a common knowledge representation for attribute reduction. As problem solving under different knowledge representations corresp...

In the context of Mobile Social Networks (MSNs), a type of wireless storage device called throwbox has emerged as a promising way to improve the efficiency of data delivery. Recent studies focus on the deployment of throwboxes to maximize data delivery opportunities. However, as a storage device, the storage usage of throwboxes has seldom been addressed by existing work. In this paper, the stor...

Knowledge Placement & Management in wireless sensor networks has been a research area in recent years. Many existing Sensor Knowledge Management Systems view sensor data as a continuous stream that is sensed, filtered, processed, and aggregated as it “flows” from sensors to users. We argue that the Knowledge Management infrastructure will need substantial redesign to fully exploit the presence ...

purpose: knowledge management is the process by which its application leads to the growth in creativity, innovation and human resource development. universities, like other organizations, need to clarify the role of knowledge in their development. the aim of this study is to investigate the human resource practices and the implementation of knowledge management relationship in the six organizat...
