Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Third international workshop on empirical research in business process management (ER-BPM 2012)
No full textEmpirical research in business process management(BPM) is coming of age. In 2009, when the inaugural ER-BPM workshop was held, the field of BPM research was characterized by a strong emphasis on solution development, but also by an increasing demand for insights or evaluations of BPM technology based on dedicated empirical research strategies. The ER-BPM workshop series was created to provide an international forum for researchers to discuss and present such research
A Domain Ontology Building Process for Guiding Requirements Elicitation
No full textIn Requirements Management, ontologies are used to reconcile gaps
in the knowledge and common understanding among stakeholders during
requirement elicitation, and therefore significantly improve the quality of the
elicited requirements. However, a precondition of state-of-the-art ontology
approaches for requirements elicitation is an existing domain ontology. While
this is not a trivial precondition, there are only a few reports on approaches to
systematically and efficiently build domain ontologies, and these approaches
are often highly biased towards their intended use. In this paper, we investigate
an approach for building domain ontologies suitable for guiding requirements
elicitation. We evaluate the feasibility of the approach based on a real-world
industrial use case by analyzing natural language text from technical standards.
A major result is that the proposed approach can help reduce the effort of
building domain ontologies from the scratch
Understanding the Scope of Uncertainty in Dynamically Adaptive Systems
No full text[Context and motivation] Dynamically adaptive systems are increasingly conceived as a means to allow operation in changeable or poorly understood environments. [Question/problem] This can result in the selection of solution strategies based on assumptions that may not be well founded. [Principle ideas/results] This paper proposes the use of claims in goal models as a means to reason about likely sources of uncertainty in dynamically adaptive systems. Accepting that such claims can’t be easily validated at design-time, we should instead evaluate how the system will behave if a claim is proven false by developing a validation scenario. [Contribution] Validation scenarios may be costly to evaluate so the approach we advocate is designed to carefully select only those claims that are less certain, or whose falsification would have serious consequences
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
