Specifically, in order to improve the information search and recommendation functionalities of social business software, we extend corporate knowledge structuring approaches, such as folksonomies and taxonomies, with the addition of statistical topic models. We use probabilistic models in order to uncover hidden topics in the corporate `knowledge base' and hence add an intelligent perspective in social collaboration. Probabilistic topic models are based upon the idea that documents are mixtures of topics, where a topic is defined as a probability distribution over words. We apply our approach in the Organik social business software platform and deploy it in five companies. Our results showed enhanced recommendations and improved search efficiency, while our approach effectively addresses problems in query expansion and recommends relevant resources and tags which in turn can leverage the creation and evolution of social knowledge structures like folksonomies.","PeriodicalId":219998,"journal":{"name":"2012 18th International ICE Conference on Engineering, Technology and Innovation","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129032974","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sign language interpreters provide a visual interpretation of speech. However, the observation of an interpreter distracts an individual from other visual stimuli such as a presentation, demonstration or video. This paper proposes an augmented reality, head-mounted display system designed to improve the learning experience for the deaf, specifically a child's experience in a planetarium. The system uses augmented reality to enable a sign language interpreter to remain within the wearer's vision. This improves on subtitle-based alternatives by removing literacy as a requirement. The project is part of a three-year development calibration between three Brigham Young University departments and Gallaudet University, with funding from the National Science Foundation. This paper focuses on the design, prototyping and proposed usability testing performed by a team of six IT students for a senior capstone project.","PeriodicalId":219998,"journal":{"name":"2012 18th International ICE Conference on Engineering, Technology and Innovation","volume":"125 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116598437","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These business organisations are particularly important when regarding SMEs, and tend to be very dynamic with frequent inclusion of new enterprises. These enterprises thus need to develop dedicated business areas to handle the seeking for new partnerships, with its inherent need for interoperation, while maintaining the interoperability regarding the current ones. With a growing number of players and changes, this will rapidly lead to a non-interoperability scenario within the business network. This paper proposes a collaborative framework to support negotiations towards interoperability of organisations acting in a same industrial market, using a model-driven, cloud-based platform and services. The paper then specifies the application of the framework in a real-case scenario.","PeriodicalId":219998,"journal":{"name":"2012 18th International ICE Conference on Engineering, Technology and Innovation","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116587353","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper investigates consumer innovativeness (CI) from hierarchical perspective of CI and examines the simultaneous impacts of CI on new product adoption. The first, generalist streams represents a generalized personality trait that engenders consumers to adopt new product. The second, particularist stream focuses on product adoption behavior within a specific domain of interest. The third, Integrator perspective proposes to integrate these two streams by putting domain-specific innovativeness as mediating factor in relationship between general innovativeness and new product adoption. A structural equation model was used to test hypotheses using empirical data from 607 respondents in electronic products adoption. The findings have implications for innovation adoption theory, for managers involved in new product and service marketing, and for future research on innovation adoption.","PeriodicalId":219998,"journal":{"name":"2012 18th International ICE Conference on Engineering, Technology and Innovation","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124676850","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to deal with the speed of change and the complexity, the ability for collaboration seems to become an increasingly important competence in modern engineering education. This poses the question, whether the usual academic education is adequate to reach this goal and how it can be improved. When realizing the requirements from the Bologna-process that were posed to the mechatronics programme of the Department for Precision and Micro-Engineering, Engineering Physics of the Munich University of Applied Sciences, a new course was added to the curriculum that deals with collaboration in many senses. It is called “Mechatronical Integration” and takes place in the sixth semester of the undergraduate courses, i.e. it starts in the last undergraduate year. Mechatronical integration itself is a task that seems crucially based on collaboration, as integrating tasks cannot be fulfilled without the different disciplines like mechanics, electronics, software, testing, documentation and management working together in a collaborative way very closely. In this paper, we will describe the approaches to implicitly teaching to collaborate realized by this course. We will present the results gathered during the several years, the courses were held.","PeriodicalId":219998,"journal":{"name":"2012 18th International ICE Conference on Engineering, Technology and Innovation","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124258988","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
