In this research, recognition of karstic water-bearing zones using the management of exploration data in Kal-Qorno valley, situated in the Tepal area of Shahrood, has been considered. For this purpose, the sequential exploration method was conducted using geological evidences and applying remote sensing and geoelectrical resistivity methods in two major phases including the regional and local s...

The paper introduces the architecture and functionality of the knowledge-based information retrieval technology developed at Vertical Search Works. A large-scale language-independent ontology is used during indexing, query analysis, and document retrieval as part of a web-scale vertical search engine. Three specific areas are examined: the knowledge resource, its visualization and editing toolb...

Some people claim “knowledge leads to power”. Even if that claim is true companies only win when knowledge is shared among employees and other stakeholders. Today sharing knowledge when making decisions is more important than most people recognize. One way to share knowledge is to build computerized systems that can store and retrieve knowledge codified as probabilities, rules and relationships...

A data ecosystem (DE) offers a keystone-player or alliance-driven infrastructure that enables the interaction of different stakeholders and resolution interoperability issues among shared data. However, despite years research in governance management, trustability is still affected by absence transparent traceable data-driven pipelines. In this work, we focus on requirements challenges DEs face...

The limitations of existing methods for reactor network synthesis, including the more robust stochastic optimisation based methods, to cope with complex reaction schemes involving highly non-linear kinetics and multiple reactions, requires a novel approach to the problem. This paper uses knowledge derived from fundamental kinetic information to compose design rules representing the dominant des...
