<title>Securisation of the discussion stage in e&#45;cognocracy</title>
<link>http://www.inderscience.com/link.php?id=32684</link>
<description>E&#45;cognocracy &#40;Moreno&#45;Jimenez, 2003, 2004, 2006&#41; is a cognitive democracy oriented to the extraction and sharing of knowledge associated with the scientific resolution of public decision making problems related with the governance of society. This model of democracy takes advantage of the potential of the knowledge society by means of the incorporation of the knowledge and the preferences of the actors involved in the decision making process. This is carried out by using different rounds to incorporate the preferences and a collaborative tool for the discussion stage. The technological security of the voting process has been studied in previous papers of our research group &#40;Piles et al., 2006, 2007; Moreno&#45;Jimenez et al., 2008; Salazar et al., 2008&#41;. Now we cope with the security of the discussion stage, taking into account either registered and non&#45;registered individuals.</description>

<title>SemCASS&#58; technical competence assessment within software development teams enabled by semantics</title>
<link>http://www.inderscience.com/link.php?id=32685</link>
<description>The environment surrounding organisations is characterised by an increasing necessity of competent personnel that need to be assessed. Moreover, personnel factors are capital for software development projects. Given the importance of people in certain sectors, this paper introduces SemCASS, a tool based on semantic technologies to feed competence evaluation with competence evidences within software development projects. These evidences are taken from two different sources. On the one hand competence facts derived from the analysis of project repositories using natural language processing techniques. On the other hand, standard competence evidences collected using mobile technologies. SemCASS benefits from the standardisation of personnel performance metrics related to software development teams as well as the capital importance of competence ontologies and semantic reasoning as basic support of new knowledge management efforts. Due to these set of features, the reliability and precision of the competence assessment will increase drastically.</description>

<title>Applying a multicriteria model for selection of test use cases&#58; a use of experience</title>
<link>http://www.inderscience.com/link.php?id=32686</link>
<description>Nowadays, software organisations need to develop excellent and reliable products. This scenario has helped to increase the relevance of quality assurance activities, especially the testing discipline. However, sometimes the time and resources are limited and not all tests can be executed, demanding organisations to decide what use cases should be tested, to guarantee the predictability of the project&#39;s time and budget. The multiple criteria methodologies support decisions, considering many factors, not only professional experience. This paper presents a multiple criteria model to support the decision of selecting the use cases that should be tested.</description>

<description>Berlin is a major European city with a vast network of public services institutions. These institutions are located at a number of public buildings ranging from small community centres and police stations to court buildings and police training polygons. Overall office space is approx. 20,000 m&amp;&#35;178;. In 2003 the Berlin Senate founded the &#39;Landesbetrieb fur Gebaudebewirtschaftung&#39; &#40;LfG&#41; as a state&#45;owned enterprise that is responsible for all facility management activities related to state&#45;owned real estates. In 2005 the LfG started a joint research project with the Berlin Institute of Technology &#40;TU Berlin&#41; with the aim of introducing novel information technologies &#40;IT&#41;, social computing approaches and facility management applications to better support these activities. This article presents our social computing approach in the context of the distributed system architecture.

<link>http://www.inderscience.com/link.php?id=32688</link>
<description>We have described an internet based system combining remote patient monitoring and medical social networking. Due to new technological advances, it is now possible to design and implement various types of remote patient monitoring systems. A remote patient monitoring system can lead to a new type of social networking of patients. The patients can share their experiences and they can allow not only doctors but also other patients to see their medical state. Social support can increase the degree to which individuals succeed in achieving their medical goals.</description>

<title>Mining underlying correlated&#45;clusters in high&#45;dimensional data streams</title>
<link>http://www.inderscience.com/link.php?id=32689</link>
<description>High&#45;dimensional data streams pose challenges to traditional clustering algorithm, due to their inherent sparsity and data tend to cluster in different subspaces of the entire feature space. In this paper, we resolve the subspace clustering problem by mining correlated&#45;clusters, in which selected features are correlated with each other. Moreover, taking data evolution in data streams into account, we propose methods to mine correlations of features incrementally and adaptively. At each time tick t, according to our proposed multiple regression measurement, we cluster the newly arrived data sample to one of correlated&#45;clusters whose local correlations fit to the data sample and also update the local correlations adaptively, based on an incremental principal component analysis technology. The results of experiments on high&#45;dimensional synthetic data and real data demonstrate that our methods can achieve higher accuracy of query than related work and perform much more efficiently. Additionally, our proposed methods are able to forecast missing values in streaming data successfully.</description>

<title>Creating wiki communities in blended learning environment and the creation of the Moodle new Wiki</title>
<link>http://www.inderscience.com/link.php?id=32690</link>
<description>The Wiki is one of the basic tools for collaborating online, gathering, sharing and organising knowledge. Wikipedia is an overwhelming proof of that. Introducing the wiki as a learning tool is, however, not an easy task. This paper explains a case of introduction of wikis into a course that succeeded and that helped to contribute to improve one of the tools more used in education worldwide&#58; Moodle. The teachers of the subject &#39;Computer science history and ethics&#39; of the UPC have been applying collaborative learning techniques since 1994. On 2004, inspired by the social constructionist paradigm, they started using Wiki and Moodle to create learning communities during the last five semesters. This article will discuss which strategies where adopted and the quantitative and qualitative results obtained. To accomplish their objectives, the teachers of ASAI have developed a new Wiki module &#40;nWiki&#41; for Moodle; this module implements an innovative grading feature. The nWiki has been accepted by the Moodle FOSS community as the new Wiki official module in Moodle 2.0 upcoming version. This article is about pedagogical principles, the use of Wiki as a collaborative tool and how fulfilling specific needs can benefit a whole community through the open source paradigm.</description>

<title>ITS&#45;LAGUNTXO&#58; enhancing the integration of people with intellectual disabilities</title>
<link>http://www.inderscience.com/link.php?id=32691</link>
<description>In order to face the problems that people with disabilities find in their integration into social and working environments, one of the key issues is the implementation of solutions offered by new technologies by using what experts call &#39;support technologies&#39;. The development of intelligent tutoring systems &#40;ITS&#41; based on mobile platforms offers new perspectives for better integration of people with disabilities. The LAGUNTXO System aims to achieve the performance of human tutors, going a step beyond classical tutoring systems that perform just organisational tasks. Due to the wide diversity of people with disabilities, an intelligent structure that may achieve a convenient tutoring system configuration for each case has been incorporated. With an appropriate design of the structure and architecture of this task handler, it is very easy to operate by stakeholders. An automaton&#45;based mechanism has been performed to technologically adapt the large amount of possibilities related to the interaction between people with disabilities, the task that is going to be made autonomously by users and the mobile system elements. In this paper, LAGUNTXO architecture, operational ways and a pilot study are presented.</description>

<title>Applied hybrid model in the neuropsychological diagnosis of the Alzheimer&#39;s disease&#58; a decision making study case</title>
<link>http://www.inderscience.com/link.php?id=32692</link>
<description>Dementias are syndromes described by a decline in memory and other neuropsychological changes especially occurring in the elderly and increasing exponentially in function of age. Due to this fact and to the therapeutical limitations in the most advanced stage of the disease, diagnosis of Alzheimer&#39;s disease is extremely important and it can provide better life conditions to patients and their families. A hybrid model, combining influence diagrams and a multicriteria method, is presented in order to assist in the decision making about which questions would be more attractive to the definition of the diagnosis of the Alzheimer&#39;s disease, considering the stages of clinical dementia rating &#40;CDR&#41;. The modelling and evaluation processes were carried out through a battery of standardised assessments for the evaluation of cases with Alzheimer&#39;s disease developed by Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer&#39;s disease &#40;CERAD&#41;.</description>
