This paper proposes a new production system (PS) with a self-adaptive function based on the Java language, in order to realize a knowledge-base (KB) development environment featuring platform independence and no requirement for special software tools. This new PS, called Adaptive Java Production System (A-JPS) in this paper, also features a user profile evaluation mechanism using a Causal netwo...

This paper presents a method for the assignment of grammatical relation labels in a sentence structure. The method has been implemented in the software tool AGRA (Automatic Grammatical Relation Assigner), which is part of a project for the development of a treebank of Italian sentences, and a knowledge base of Italian subcategorization frames. The annotation schema implements a notion of unders...

The purpose of this study is to comprehensively map the recent additions to the body of knowledge in the service science discipline. Previous literature analyses insufficiently account for these developments or refrain from applying tool-based bibliographic analysis techniques. Following the introduction of the software tool CiteBridge, a citation network and a cocitation network are constructe...

This paper presents aspects of the design, development and implementation of an open e-learning resource (OER) on anti-plagiarism. This course is designed to be delivered as distance learning to students in Higher Educational Institutions. It is based on a synchronous e-learning platform; it includes thematic lectures, a variety of asynchronous tools for communication and support of the learner...

background transferring research-based knowledge into practice would help to maximize the quality of health care. however, the role of knowledge producers and the organizational roles related to knowledge transfer have been largely ignored. objectives this study was accomplished with the aim of describing the organizational activities needed to transfer the findings of nursing research from the...

Over time there has been a shift, at least in the rhetoric, from a pipeline conceptualisation of knowledge implementation, to one that recognises the potential of more collaboration, co-productive approaches to knowledge production and use. In this editorial, which is grounded in our research and collective experience, we highlight both the potential and challenge with collaboration and co-prod...
