The design critique process, used to provide expert feedback on a building design concept to students in architecture schools throughout the world, is reinterpreted within the context of an ITbased collaborative virtual environment. IT support for design critique allows new modes of participation where the experts do not have to be co-located to carry out their tasks and, through the ability to...

The notion of ‘power of judgement’ in the title of Kant’s Critique of the Power of Judgement is commonly taken to refer to a cognitive power inclusive of both determining judgement and reflecting judgement. I argue, first, that this seemingly innocuous view is in conflict both with the textual fact that Kant attempts a critical justification of the reflecting power of judgement – only – and wit...

Edward Tolman’s ideas on cognition and animal behavior have broadly influenced modern cognitive science. His principle contribution, the cognitive map, has provided deep insights into how animals represent information about the world and how these representations inform behavior. Although a variety of modern theories share the same title, they represent ideas far different than what Tolman prop...

Traditionally, a sharp distinction was made between conscious perception of elapsed time, considered a key attribute of cognition, and automatic time processes involving basic sensory and motor functions. Recently, however, this dichotomous view has been challenged on the ground that time perception and timed actions share very similar features, at least for events lasting less than a second. F...

This is a rough draft synopsis of a book presently in preparation. This book provides a systematic critique of the software industry. This critique is accomplished using classical methods in practical design science.

This article provides some philosophical “groundwork” for contemporary debates about the status of the idea(l) of critical thinking. The major part of the article consists of a discussion of three conceptions of “criticality,” viz., critical dogmatism, transcendental critique (Karl-Otto Apel), and deconstruction (Jacques Derrida). It is shown that these conceptions not only differ in their answ...

l’objectif de ce travail est de proposer un panorama général des romans de robbe-grillet dans leurs rapports aux multiples discours critiques tenus par des lecteurs avertis. dans l’espace réduit de cette étude, il m’est impossible d’en présenter tous les détails. j’essayerai seulement de voir de quoi robbe-grillet nous avions affaire hier, de quel robbe-grillet il s’agit aujourd'hui, á la fin ...

It has been over 16 years since Cisco’s NetFlow was patented in 1996. Extensive research has been conducted since then and many applications have been developed. In this survey, we have reviewed an extensive number of studies with emphasis on network flow applications. First, we provide a brief introduction to sFlow, NetFlow and network traffic analysis. Then, we review the state of the art in ...

Reflecting on the governance of smart cities, the state-of-the-art this paper advances offers a critique of recent city ranking and future Internet accounts of their development. Armed with these critical insights, it goes on to explain smart cities in terms of the social networks, cultural attributes and environmental capacities, vis-a-vis, vital ecologies of the intellectual capital, wealth c...

Probably one of the reasons the paper was awarded the best paper award is the social implication and the practical applicability that the technology described in the paper has. It is not so often that you come across papers in computer science that have such a broad social implication. As the authors argue, even a partial solution to the problem that the paper attempts to solve would have a bro...
