One more and more upcoming challenge for IT systems used in the Facility Management domain is the automated acquisition and processing of distributed heterogeneous data. Especially for approval or maintenance processes the mobile access to necessary data constantly gains significance. But because of their limited size particularly mobile devices require new ways for representing the needed amount...
This paper applies gamification to leverage the use of information for information-intensive business tasks in the context of corporate intranets. It presents the results of an online experiment, which was conducted in the banking industry with 68 advisors from different institutes using a prototype of a corporate intranet. They indicate that adding gamification elements, such as ranking lists and...
One of the most serious problems that conventional knowledge management (KM) encompasses has been pointed out tardy and ineffective acquisition of knowledge. To resolve this problem, knowledge must be autonomously acquired according to its context of use by applying the technique of keyword extraction in machine learning algorithm-based text mining. Once the topic of the given knowledge can be identified...
The focus of this paper is the study of causality in both its crisp and approximate forms. Crisp causality is characterized by some properties and modalities and is related to semantic implications. This paper presents a program that extracts causal and conditional sentences with causal content from several texts. The examples extracted show that, even in scientific texts, causality can be imprecise...
Applications/services that cater to groups of users (or entities) in ubiquitous computing environments must utilise the concept of context-awareness in order to provide group adapted content or services. Most existing frameworks that support group applications/services focus on lower level issues such as group membership management or group communication, failing to give attention to context-awareness,...
This paper presents a discussion and simulation results which support the case for interaction during the acquisition of conceptual knowledge. Taking a developmental perspective, we first review a number of relevant insights on word-meaning acquisition in young children and specifically focus on concept learning supported by linguistic input. We present a computational model implementing a number...
Duplicate records are a major problem and duplicate invoices are a specific example of this. The detection of duplicate invoices is a critical issue for business since duplicate invoices can result in a company paying more than once for goods or services ordered. Past experience has shown that generic duplicate record detection techniques are not very useful when applied to invoices: the rate of false...
