Abstract

Attempts to identify the nature and causes of information management indeterminism in an online research environment and proposes solutions for alleviating this indeterminism. Conducts two empirical studies of information management activities. The first identified the types and nature of information management indeterminism by evaluating archived text. The second focused on four sources of indeterminism: subject area knowledge, classification knowledge, system knowledge, and collaboration knowledge. Proposes a knowledge based design for alleviating indeterminism, which contains a system generated thesaurus and an inferencing engine

Abstract

We investigated agency satisfaction with an electronic record management system (ERMS) that supports the electronic creation, archival, processing, transmittal, and sharing of records (documents) among autonomous government agencies. A factor model, explaining agency satisfaction with ERMS functionalities, offers hypotheses, which we tested empirically with a large-scale survey that involved more than 1,600 government agencies in Taiwan. The data showed a good fit to our model and supported all the hypotheses. Overall, agency satisfaction with ERMS functionalities appears jointly determined by regulatory compliance, job relevance, and satisfaction with support services. Among the determinants we studied, agency satisfaction with support services seems the strongest predictor of agency satisfaction with ERMS functionalities. Regulatory compliance also has important influences on agency satisfaction with ERMS, through its influence on job relevance and satisfaction with support services. Further analyses showed that satisfaction with support services partially mediated the impact of regulatory compliance on satisfaction with ERMS functionalities, and job relevance partially mediated the influence of regulatory compliance on satisfaction with ERMS functionalities. Our findings have important implications for research and practice, which we also discuss.

Abstract

Making the Nation Safer: The Role of Science and Technology in Countering Terrorism The commitment of the scientific, engineering, and health communities to helping the United States and the world respond to security challenges became evident after September 11, 2001. The U.S. National Research Council's report an "Making the Nation Safer: The Role of Science and Technology in Countering Terrorism," (National Research Council, 2002, p. 1) explains the context of such a new commitment: Terrorism is a serious threat to the Security of the United States and indeed the world. The vulnerability of societies to terrorist attacks results in part from the proliferation of chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons of mass destruction, but it also is a consequence of the highly efficient and interconnected systems that we rely an for key services such as transportation, information, energy, and health care. The efficient functioning of these systems reflects great technological achievements of the past century, but interconnectedness within and across systems also means that infrastructures are vulnerable to local disruptions, which could lead to widespread or catastrophic failures. As terrorists seek to exploit these vulnerabilities, it is fitting that we harness the nation's exceptional scientific and technological capabilities to Counter terrorist threats. A committee of 24 of the leading scientific, engineering, medical, and policy experts in the United States conducted the study described in the report. Eight panels were separately appointed and asked to provide input to the committee. The panels included: (a) biological sciences, (b) chemical issues, (c) nuclear and radiological issues, (d) information technology, (e) transportation, (f) energy facilities, Cities, and fixed infrastructure, (g) behavioral, social, and institutional issues, and (h) systems analysis and systems engineering. The focus of the committee's work was to make the nation safer from emerging terrorist threats that sought to inflict catastrophic damage an the nation's people, its infrastructure, or its economy. The committee considered nine areas, each of which is discussed in a separate chapter in the report: nuclear and radiological materials, human and agricultural health systems, toxic chemicals and explosive materials, information technology, energy systems, transportation systems, Cities and fixed infrastructure, the response of people to terrorism, and complex and interdependent systems. The chapter an information technology (IT) is particularly relevant to this special issue. The report recommends that "a strategic long-term research and development agenda should be established to address three primary counterterrorismrelated areas in IT: information and network security, the IT needs of emergency responders, and information fusion and management" (National Research Council, 2002, pp. 11 -12). The MD in information and network security should include approaches and architectures for prevention, identification, and containment of cyber-intrusions and recovery from them. The R&D to address IT needs of emergency responders should include ensuring interoperability, maintaining and expanding communications capability during an emergency, communicating with the public during an emergency, and providing support for decision makers. The R&D in information fusion and management for the intelligence, law enforcement, and emergency response communities should include data mining, data integration, language technologies, and processing of image and audio data. Much of the research reported in this special issue is related to information fusion and management for homeland security.

Abstract

The importance of Intelligence and Security Informatics (ISI) has significantly increased with the rapid and largescale migration of local/national security information from physical media to electronic platforms, including the Internet and information systems. Motivated by the significance of ISI in law enforcement (particularly in the digital government context) and the limited investigations of officers' technology-acceptance decisionmaking, we developed and empirically tested a factor model for explaining law-enforcement officers' technology acceptance. Specifically, our empirical examination targeted the COPLINK technology and involved more than 280 police officers. Overall, our model shows a good fit to the data collected and exhibits satisfactory Power for explaining law-enforcement officers' technology acceptance decisions. Our findings have several implications for research and technology management practices in law enforcement, which are also discussed.

Abstract

With more than two billion pages created by millions of Web page authors and organizations, the World Wide Web is a tremendously rich knowledge base. The knowledge comes not only from the content of the pages themselves, but also from the unique characteristics of the Web, such as its hyperlink structure and its diversity of content and languages. Analysis of these characteristics often reveals interesting patterns and new knowledge. Such knowledge can be used to improve users' efficiency and effectiveness in searching for information an the Web, and also for applications unrelated to the Web, such as support for decision making or business management. The Web's size and its unstructured and dynamic content, as well as its multilingual nature, make the extraction of useful knowledge a challenging research problem. Furthermore, the Web generates a large amount of data in other formats that contain valuable information. For example, Web server logs' information about user access patterns can be used for information personalization or improving Web page design.

Abstract

Information retrieval using probabilistic techniques has attracted significant attention on the part of researchers in information and computer science over the past few decades. In the 1980s, knowledge-based techniques also made an impressive contribution to 'intelligent' information retrieval and indexing. More recently, information science researchers have tfurned to other newer inductive learning techniques including symbolic learning, genetic algorithms, and simulated annealing. These newer techniques, which are grounded in diverse paradigms, have provided great opportunities for researchers to enhance the information processing and retrieval capabilities of current information systems. In this article, we first provide an overview of these newer techniques and their use in information retrieval research. In order to femiliarize readers with the techniques, we present 3 promising methods: the symbolic ID3 algorithm, evolution-based genetic algorithms, and simulated annealing. We discuss their knowledge representations and algorithms in the unique context of information retrieval

Abstract

Understanding the knowledge-diffusion networks of patent inventors can help governments and businesses effectively use their investment to stimulate commercial science and technology development. Such inventor networks are usually large and complex. This study proposes a multidimensional network analysis framework that utilizes Exponential Random Graph Models (ERGMs) to simultaneously model knowledge-sharing and knowledge-transfer processes, examine their interactions, and evaluate the impacts of network structures and public funding on knowledge-diffusion networks. Experiments are conducted on a longitudinal data set that covers 2 decades (1991-2010) of nanotechnology-related US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) patents. The results show that knowledge sharing and knowledge transfer are closely interrelated. High degree centrality or boundary inventors play significant roles in the network, and National Science Foundation (NSF) public funding positively affects knowledge sharing despite its small fraction in overall funding and upstream research topics.

Abstract

Presents a neural network approach to document semantic indexing. Reports results of a study to apply a Hopfield net algorithm to simulate human associative memory for concept exploration in the domain of computer science and engineering. The INSPEC database, consisting of 320.000 abstracts from leading periodical articles was used as the document test bed. Benchmark tests conformed that 3 parameters: maximum number of activated nodes; maximum allowable error; and maximum number of iterations; were useful in positively influencing network convergence behaviour without negatively impacting central processing unit performance. Another series of benchmark tests was performed to determine the effectiveness of various filtering techniques in reducing the negative impact of noisy input terms. Preliminary user tests conformed expectations that the Hopfield net is potentially useful as an associative memory technique to improve document recall and precision by solving discrepancies between indexer vocabularies and end user vocabularies

Abstract

Effectively harnessing available data to support homeland-security-related applications is a major focus in the emerging science of intelligence and security informatics (ISI). Many studies have focused on criminal-network analysis as a major challenge within the ISI domain. Though various methodologies have been proposed, none have been tested for usefulness in creating link charts. This study compares manually created link charts to suggestions made by the proposed importance-flooding algorithm. Mirroring manual investigational processes, our iterative computation employs association-strength metrics, incorporates path-based node importance heuristics, allows for case-specific notions of importance, and adjusts based on the accuracy of previous suggestions. Interesting items are identified by leveraging both node attributes and network structure in a single computation. Our data set was systematically constructed from heterogeneous sources and omits many privacy-sensitive data elements such as case narratives and phone numbers. The flooding algorithm improved on both manual and link-weight-only computations, and our results suggest that the approach is robust across different interpretations of the user-provided heuristics. This study demonstrates an interesting methodology for including user-provided heuristics in network-based analysis, and can help guide the development of ISI-related analysis tools.

Abstract

It is important for education in computer science and information systems to keep up to date with the latest development in technology. With the rapid development of the Internet and the Web, many schools have included Internet-related technologies, such as Web search engines and e-commerce, as part of their curricula. Previous research has shown that it is effective to use search engine development tools to facilitate students' learning. However, the effectiveness of these tools in the classroom has not been evaluated. In this article, we review the design of three search engine development tools, SpidersRUs, Greenstone, and Alkaline, followed by an evaluation study that compared the three tools in the classroom. In the study, 33 students were divided into 13 groups and each group used the three tools to develop three independent search engines in a class project. Our evaluation results showed that SpidersRUs performed better than the two other tools in overall satisfaction and the level of knowledge gained in their learning experience when using the tools for a class project on Internet applications development.

Abstract

In an increasingly global research landscape, it is important to identify the most prolific researchers in various institutions and their influence on the diffusion of knowledge. Knowledge diffusion within institutions is influenced by not just the status of individual researchers but also the collaborative culture that determines status. There are various methods to measure individual status, but few studies have compared them or explored the possible effects of different cultures on the status measures. In this article, we examine knowledge diffusion within science and technology-oriented research organizations. Using social network analysis metrics to measure individual status in large-scale coauthorship networks, we studied an individual's impact on the recombination of knowledge to produce innovation in nanotechnology. Data from the most productive and high-impact institutions in China (Chinese Academy of Sciences), Russia (Russian Academy of Sciences), and India (Indian Institutes of Technology) were used. We found that boundary-spanning individuals influenced knowledge diffusion in all countries. However, our results also indicate that cultural and institutional differences may influence knowledge diffusion.
