In this chapter, we discuss the implementation of the models and methodologies discussed in Chapters 3-5 for monitoring of integrated networks. Speci cally, the implementation of monitoring schemes for MAGNET II in a software environment is discussed. A simulator for MAGNET II has been built and the appropriate state variables speci ed for monitoring. The implementation of the Knowledge Base fo...

We report the latest efforts of the Writing in the Context of Knowledge (WiCK) project in investigating the use of Semantic Web technologies in a business-type environment, where authors create and re-use knowledge-rich documents. To date, we have integrated an established commercial off-the-shelf office production environment with knowledge Web services to assist authors in carrying out tasks ...

Knowledge is a key resource that must be managed within organisations and across collaborative enterprise networks. In particular, the two major challenges that face such organisations are; ensuring that they have the appropriate knowledge to support their operations and ensuring that they optimise these knowledge resources available to them. In recent years, researchers, consultants and indust...

nowadays knowledge is a strategic and valuable resource as well as a property for any organization. without proper management and use of this valuable resource, providing good quality products and services is difficult and sometimes impossible. on the other hand, implementing knowledge management without appropriate structure is not possible. organizations should adopt structures that allow the...

As built environment is of major importance to all societies and economies, it is essential that the discipline advances as rapidly and rigorously as possible. Only by use of appropriate methodologies and methods of research, the body of knowledge for construction can be established and advanced with confidence. Research is always executed in context and it is vital to give careful consideratio...

UNLABELLED BioLingua is an interactive, web-based programming environment that enables biologists to analyze biological systems by combining knowledge and data through direct end-user programming. BioLingua embeds a mature symbolic programming language in a frame-based knowledge environment, integrating genomic and pathway knowledge about a class of similar organisms. The BioLingua language pro...

The Knowledge Environment for Collaborative Science (KnECS) is an open source informatics toolkit designed to enable knowledge grids that interconnect science communities, unique facilities, data, and tools. KnECS features a web portal with team and data collaboration tools, lightweight federation of data, provenance tracking, and multi-level support for application integration. We identify cap...

Concept maps are an effective way of representing a person’s understanding of a domain of knowledge. Technology can further help by making it easy to construct and modify that representation, to manage large representations for complex domains, and to allow groups of people to share in the construction of the concept maps. CmapTools is a software environment developed at the Institute for Human...

In this paper we identify the organizational problems of Mathematical Knowledge Management and describe tools that address one of these problems, namely, the additional annotation of formalized knowledge. We describe, then, how the tools are realized in the frame of the Theorema system.

in the third millennium, we observe rapid changes in technologies and intense complexity in environment. in such an environment, developing competitive advantage necessitates new kind of organizations which are capable of knowledge creation. hence, it is expected that managers to have a deep perception of prerequisites of knowledge management and enhance the organizational performance through i...
