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...

The adoption of administrative boundaries as approximations of housing markets has long restricted the scope for housing market analysis and planning policy development to be undertaken within a functional housing market framework in England. This has prompted consideration of the value of deriving Housing Market Areas (HMAs) to underpin the development of housing market intelligence for planni...

To move beyond the technology focus and adequately embrace knowledge, organisations need a working conceptualisation of knowledge. Within the literature, the dominant conceptualisation converges around the acknowledgement of tacit and explicit types distinctly. This paper argues that a more fundamental approach is necessary. The functional view is a theory on the nature of knowledge that serves...

In this paper, the question is addressed which patterns in world dynamics should occur to enable a conceptualisation of a world’s process as an agent. Six criteria on patterns in world dynamics are discussed that indicate when the world shows agency, and allows a faithful agent-based conceptualisation. The criteria, that naturally cover aspects such as embodiment and embeddedness, are formalise...

Software products often need to vary in terms of functionality, but also in terms of quality attributes. We describe KumbangSec, which in an approach for modelling functional and security variability applying different architectural viewpoints. KumbangSec builds on an existing variability modelling method, Kumbang, by extending it with security engineering concepts. KumbangSec consists of a con...

Where we describe the development and functionality of a new type of instrument, a mesoscale radiometer, designed to obtain crude but much needed measurements of fields of temperature and humidity over mesoscale areas around the instrument. 1. DECLARATION OF INTENT Whereas the meteorological research community wishes to measure or at least constrain better fields of humidity and temperature for...
