Advances in smart devices, mobile wireless communications, sensor networks, pervasive computing, machine learning, middleware and agent technologies, and human computer interfaces have made the dream of smart pervasive environments a reality. According to Cook and Das (Cook & Das, 2004), a “smart environment” is one that is able to autonomously acquire and apply knowledge about its users (or in...

Nowadays, knowledge sharing as one of the components of knowledge management process, has a significant role in organization success. Knowledge causes organizations to be able to acquire knowledge faster and more effective than before, and also apply it which therefore cause them to create competitive advantage. This research is an attempt to investigate the effects of knowledge sharing on inno...

Social science studies have shown that people are connected in a “small world.” In this network, people are connected with short path lengths and are highly clustered. To clarify how people in a small world acquire knowledge through communicative interactions, we constructed a multi-agent model and subsequently conducted a computer simulation. Results of the computer simulation showed that in a...

Knowledge management is the process of capturing, developing, sharing, and effectively using organizational knowledge as we known Knowledge management literature emphasizes the importance of knowledge as a valuable asset for SMEs. This paper highlights the efficient sharing of knowledge as a way of creating core competencies in the SMEs that are in civil construction activities. This perspectiv...

People can acquire knowledge not only from media such as books, but also through interactions with other people. Automated dialog agents, however, typically limit their learning from labeled data, and programming. This thesis describes an approach that enables such agents to actively acquire new knowledge through spoken dialog interaction. To acquire knowledge in different situations, we propos...

Thus, the inhabitant is not only apprehended as a figure of belonging place, but he perceived being able act on his environment, be connection with it. He one who invents living environment and, beyond, transforms city same way other actors. Individu...

A number of learning models are commonly employed in the simulation of social behaviour. These include population learning, lifetime learning and cultural learning. Population learning allows populations as a whole to evolve over time, typically through a Darwinian model of natural selection. Lifetime learning allows individuals to acquire knowledge during their lifetimes and cultural learning ...

This article focusses on knowledge goals, that is, the goals of a reasoner to acquire or reorganize knowledge. Knowledge goals, often expressed as questions, arise when the reasoner's model of the domain is inadequate in some reasoning situation. This leads the reasoner to focus on the knowledge it needs, to formulate questions to acquire this knowledge, and to learn by pursuing its questions. ...
