2. 1. Graphic Representation and Visualisation as Modelling Support for the Knowledge Acquisition Process

   Author : Anne Håkansson; Andreas Hamfelt; Harald Kjellin; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Datavetenskap; Artficial Intelligence; Knowledge-Based Systems; Knowledge Acquisition; Graphic Representation; Visualisation; Unified Modelling Language; Modelling Rule-based Systems; Visual programming; Declarative Programming; Information Networks; User-Centered Design; Knowledge Interface; Datavetenskap; Computer science; Datavetenskap; datalogi; Computer Science;

   Abstract : The thesis describes steps taken towards using graphic representation and visual modelling support for the knowledge acquisition process in knowledge-based systems – a process commonly regarded as difficult. The performance of the systems depends on the quality of the embedded knowledge, which makes the knowledge acquisition phase particularly significant. READ MORE

4. 2. Geospatial data and knowledge on the Web : Knowledge-based geospatial data integration and visualisation with Semantic Web technologies

   Author : Weiming Huang; Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Geospatial data integration; data visualisation; Semantic Web; Linked Data; ontology;

   Abstract : Geospatial information is indispensable for various types of spatially informed analysis and decision-making, such as traffic analyses, and natural resource management. In addition, geospatial information is one of the most powerful information integrators to bridge diverse sources of information. READ MORE

5. 3. A time and place for everything? : social visualisation tools and critical literacies

   Author : Veronica Johansson; Högskolan i Borås; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Critical literacy; Document perspective; enactments of meaning; geographic information systems GIS ; ICT; information activities; inscriptions; interaction; library and information science LIS ; representation; social data; social visualisation tools; sociocultural perspective; Library and information science; Library and Information Science; Biblioteks- och informationsvetenskap;

   Abstract : The aim of this study is to analyse mutual enactments of critical literacies and social visualisation tools as information resources. The central concept of critical literacies as used here extends and redefines prior critical literacy definitions to denote the pluralistic situated enactments of meaning through which study participants identify, question and transform bias, restrictions and power related aspects of access, control and use in relation to the tools.

6. 4. FEM and Scientific Visualisation as Tools in Furniture Design

   Author : Pierre Olsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; design process; Structural mechanics; Finite Element Method; case study; furniture; conceptual design; scientific visualisation;

   Abstract : In the design process, knowledge of structural mechanics is often reduced to its use in determining whether the object that has been designed is sufficiently strong. Strength testing indicates this directly on a yes or no basis, whereas computations are able to quantify the degree of strength. READ MORE

7. 5. Visualising Security through Computer Games : Investigating Game-Based Instruction in ICT Security:an Experimental Approach

   Author : Kjell Näckros; Louise Yngström; Helen Armstrong; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ICT Security; Education; Game-Based Instruction; GBI; Computer Games; Game-Based Learning; GBL; Nonlinear; Linear; Learning Styles; Holist; Serialist; Knowledge; Vital Security Functions; VSF; Informatics; computer and systems science; Informatik; data- och systemvetenskap;

   Abstract : This thesis investigates whether learning materials in the form of computer games can increase knowledge and comprehension in the area of ICT security.Through a series of experiments carried out in Sweden between the years 2000 and 2003, investigating theoretical knowledge as well as practical knowledge gained through a single-user computer game, data were collected and subjected to quantitative and qualitative analyses.
