Presented paper describes the development of comprehensive approach for knowledge processing within e-Sceince tasks. Considering the task solving within a simulation-driven approach a set of knowledge-based procedures for task definition and composite application processing can be identified. This procedures could be supported by the use of domain-specific knowledge being formalized and used fo...

This study set out to explore the impact of three levels of task planning on the accuracy of task-based oral performance with narrative task types among sixty Iranian sophomores majoring in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) at Islamic Azad University – Tabriz Branch.

Distributed troubleshooting often requires experts to support non-experts at a distance. The resulting separation between collaborators can impoverish their understanding of each other’s task contexts, impeding their collaboration. Consequently, this paper argues that developing effective troubleshooting support systems requires determining (1) what contextual information the participants requi...

The coordination language Opus is an object-based extension of High Performance Fortran (HPF) that supports the integration of coarse-grain task parallelism with HPF-style data parallelism. In this paper we discuss Opus in the context of multidisciplinary applications (MDAs) which execute in a heterogeneous environment. After outlining the major properties of such applications and a number of d...

Native Language Identification (NLI) is the task of automatically identifying the native language (L1) of an individual based on their language production in a learned language. It is typically framed as a classification task where the set of L1s is known a priori. Two previous shared tasks on NLI have been organized where the aim was to identify the L1 of learners of English based on essays (2...

this study constitutes an attempt to see what language assessment literacy (lal) isfor three groups of stakeholders, namely lal test developers, lal instructors, andlal test-takers. the perceptions of the former group were derived from the contentanalysis of the latest version of the lal test, and those of the latter 2 groups wereassessed through a survey designed by the researcher. participant...
