As the need for advanced, interactive mathematical models has increased, user/programmers are increasingly choosing the MatLab® scripting language over spreadsheets. However, applications developed in these tools have high error risk, and no best practices exist. We recommend that advanced, highly mathematical applications incorporate these tools with spreadsheets into hybrid applications, wher...

The identification and integration of reusable and customizable CSCL (Computer Supported Collaborative Learning) may benefit from the capture of best practices in collaborative learning structuring. The authors have proposed CLFPs (Collaborative Learning Flow Patterns) as a way of collecting these best practices. To facilitate the process of CLFPs by software systems, the paper proposes to spec...

In this paper, we will focus on the importance of management of knowledge held by the organization’s human resources and gained through experience and practice. For this issue, we propose a model for software best practices’ integration in a Knowledge Management System (KMS) of a Software Development Community of Practices (SDCoP). This model aims on the one hand, to integrate human, organizati...
