The identification of crucial knowledge to be capitalized and especially crucial tacit knowledge is a complex process because knowledge cannot be measured quantitatively. In this paper, we propose a methodology based on multi-criteria decision aid for evaluating knowledge that needs to be capitalized using a non compensatory aggregation procedure based on reference point model. Our method allow...

1 Abstract1 XDQRAP, an extension of DQRAP (Distributed Queueing Random Access Protocol), is a multiple access protocol that like DQRAP offers a throughput equal to the offered traffic up to a load of one and with a lesser delay than any other multiple access protocol. XDQRAP, as does DQRAP, provides this performance for all values of "a", i.e., the size of the network is immaterial. XDQRAP also...

Emile Durkheim (1858-1917) is considered one of the "fathers" of sociology because of his effort to establish sociology as a discipline distinct from philosophy and psychology. This effort is evident in the two main themes that permeate Durkheim's work: the priority of the social over the individual and the idea that society can be studied scientifically.

The mental activity can be elevated until sublime issues like altruism, values, and morals. Even spirituality is a human dimension associated to mind, although consid...

DQRAP (Distributed Queueing Random Access Protocol), is a multiple access protocol that offers a throughput equal to the offered traffic up to a load of one with a lesser delay than any other multiple access protocol. DQRAP utilizes three control minislots and two distributed queues: transmission and collision resolution, to provide this performance for all values of "a", i.e., the size of the ...
