Focusing on knowledge management (KM) and strategic decision making in service businesses through the constructs of strategic capital and knowledge sharing, the study investigates qualitative differences in domain-specific knowledge of frontline employees and executives. The study draws on cognitive theory and investigates the extend to which the knowledge of these subject groups is correct wit...

We analyse in this paper neural prediction systems for automatic speaker identification (A.S.I.) and links between models complexity and their performances. We develop two ideas for enhancing such systems : we first reconsider the validity of standard hypothesis underlying the use of predictive models, we then propose different techniques for incorporating a-priori knowledge in our models. We i...

The literal performance of the symbols contained in a traditional score is not enough to produce expressive music. Human interpreters use musical knowledge that is not explicitly represented in it. This paper presents a knowledge-based approach to introduce expressiveness to the performance of a score by calculating dynamics and tempo envelopes of the piece, combining implicit musical knowledge...

Performance is a crucial issue of parallel/distributed applications. One kind of useful tools, in this context, are the automatic performance analysis tools, that help developers in some of the phases of the performance tuning process. KappaPI 2 is an automatic performance tool, with open knowledge about typical inefficiencies in message passing applications, and it is able to detect and analyz...

sensitive periods such as pregnancy and breast-feeding women and the responsibilities of home and family. it is important to have additional importance. we study the impact of education health belief model health on women's centers sabzevar to prevent drugs taken. methods: an experimental and quasi-experimental study (controlled) before and after. where 160 women referred to health centers have...

background: communication is the most important parts of the educational process, which aims to transfer or exchange of ideas.it would be provided appropriately if the academic members had the communication skills .considering the important role of academic members in educational process, in this study the knowledge, attitude and performance of isfahan health school academic members towards eff...

The HPKB programme aims to enable the development of very large knowledge bases which are comprehensive, reusable, maintainable, and address areas of interest to DARPA. These knowledge bases are expected to require foundation knowledge, knowledge acquisition facilities, and efficient problem solving techniques. The programme encourages development of multiple applications which will be tested a...

Although the use of Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) in the arts originates in the 1960s, there is a limited number of known applications in the context of real-time audio-visual and mixedmedia performances and accordingly the knowledge base of this area has not been developed sufficiently. Among the reasons are the difficulties and the unknown parameters involved in the design and implementati...

As part of the DARPA-sponsored High Performance Knowledge Bases program, four organisations were set the challenge of solving a selection of knowledge-based planning problems in a particular domain, and then modifying their systems quickly to solve further problems in the same domain. The aim of the exercise was to test the claim that, with the latest AI technology, large knowledge bases can be...
