Ideas competitions appear to be a promising tool for crowdsourcing and open innovation processes, especially business-to-business software companies. Active participation of potential lead users is the key success. Yet look at existing ideas in field leads conclusion that many information technology (IT)-based fail meet requirements upon which active established. The paper describes how activation-enabling functionalities can systematically designed implemented an IT-based competition...

Contemporary education in higher institutions has a goal to provide necessary competences determined by legislative demands, science trends and job market needs graduated students intending strengthen their employability. The main idea of this research is assess the level students’ for lifelong learning (LLL). Since it very complex task, characterized lack information vagueness inherently subjective nature human thinking. uncertain values assessed LLL are represented linguistic expressions...

Enterprise Search (ES) is different from traditional IR due to a number of reasons, among which the high level ambiguity terms in queries and documents existence graph-structured enterprise data (ontologies) that describe concepts interest their relationships each other, are most important ones.Our method identifies ontology query corpus. We propose ranking scheme for sub-graphs on top approximately matched token q-grams. The leverages graph-structure incorporate not explicitly mentioned...

Based on ISO 27001 for Information Security Management Systems, this paper introduces a newly developed security analysis approach, suitable technical analyses in general. This approach is used of several components and processes the Health Care Telematics Germany. Besides results analysis, basics further verification activities given.

Word clouds are a popular text visualization technique that summarize an input by displaying its most important words in compact image. The traditional layout methods do not take proximity effects between into account; this has been improved semantic word clouds, where relative placement is controlled edges similarity graph. We introduce MySemCloud, new human-in-the-loop tool to visualize and edit clouds. MySemCloud lets users perform computer-assisted local moves of words, which improve or...

In terms of uncertain business conditions, the ability an enterprise to bounce back after severe disruptions, or simply resilience, may be seen as one major features needed sustain successful operations. This research has objective proposing algorithm for organizational resilience assessment in industrial companies and conducting analysis relationship between Resilience Factors Key Performance Indicators recovery times. As variables that are integral part exposed a high degree uncertainty,...

Enabled by Internet-based technologies, users are increasingly participating and collaborating in idea generation online innovation communities. Beyond increasing the quantity of ideas contributed users, firms looking to obtain better quality. However, with limited understanding phenomenon, few studies have focused on investigating what determines quality collaboratively generated user This study aims address this knowledge gap antecedents from a collaboration perspective. Based perspective,...

This paper describes a physical laboratory model to study two‐dimensional transient water and solute transport in unsaturated soil, including uptake by roots. It features an automatic gamma ray attenuation scanner for measuring soil content. Automation is obtained with simple closed loop control circuit. After count transmitted the teletypewriter, signal sent hydraulically moved search next grid point. Upon arrival sends back initiate another data acquisition sequence, so on. In this way,...

Graphical user interfaces (GUI) of modern web applications offer a look-and-feel comparable to desktop applications, mainly by using JavaScript or other Rich internet Applications (RIA) technologies. With W3C’s upcoming HTML5 standard, even more powerful concepts for browser-side GUI programming are introduced, e.g. the -tag. Model-driven development and RIA has been studied many years. However, all existing approaches model-driven focus on entire webpages. increasing complexity GUIs,...

We present a single solution for the following two problems: (1) to provide just-in-time support collaborative learning tasks on top of arbitrary web pages (e. g. in order foster online search competence) and (2) transfer collaboration scripts implemented particular platform other platforms. S-COL solves both by using fixed browser-side scaffolds triggering them recognizing types functionally equivalent pages, combines this with web-browsing.

Innovations expressed by customers are often unstructured, unclear, and ambiguous, making it difficult to interpret customers' contributions, integrate them into a company's R&D department transfer comprehensible requirements for the development of product, service or software innovations. To close this gap, paper presents scenarios as technique support communication between developers along process reduce feedback cycles. A basic understanding their application in innovation management is...
