Recent publications in the area of Semantic Blogging have all looked at various aspects of relevant ontologies, implementations or consumption. However, none have tried to develop an overall, general conceptualisation of the domain. This paper is a first tentative approach at presenting such a conceptualisation, which will span a number of approaches and solutions. It is work in very early stag...

This paper1 reports a comparison between a traditional skill-based approach to algebra and an alternative approach using a combination of computer programming, activities enacting the computer processes manipulating variables, and the use of computer software which evaluates algebraic expressions written in either traditional notation or BASIC. The results of the experiments indicate the value ...

The considerable value of CRM is well documented in the literature, and it is further exemplified in today’s highly turbulent, competitive, and fragmented markets. Nevertheless, the conceptualisation and operationalisation of CRM remains an area of intense debate, and hence, by reviewing and synthesising literature from the various relational research traditions, the chapter offers a critical p...

Various strategies of Business Process Reengineering (BPR) have been developed to improve companies’ entire business process. From a more systematic viewpoint, these systems should be further organised under a unified value-added process, which covers all activities of a supply chain.

This paper seeks to gain a better understanding the practical and theoretical issues in collaborative manufacturing between companies in a value creation network. It proposes a conceptualisation for the Global Manufacturing Virtual Network (GMVN). It suggests that the G...

Software product families are a means for increasing the efficiency of software development. We propose a conceptualisation for modelling the evolution and variability of configurable software product families. We describe a first prototype of an intelligent tool that allows modelling a software product family on the basis of the conceptualisation and supports the user in interactively producin...
