Knowledge based simulation system--an application in controlled environment simulation systemZhang, Guoging, 1963- January 1988 (has links)
This thesis systematically identifies the building blocks of a knowledge based system for simulation and modelling. We present the design and implementation of Controlled Environment Simulation System (CESS), which bridges a discrete event simulation system (DEVS-SCHEME) and a continuous simulation system (TRNSYS). The rationale behind the approach is that a discrete or a continuous model can be abstracted to a level at which the uniform treatment on these two kinds of models is possible. A top-down approach to model creation (abstraction) is proposed, in contrast to the traditional bottom-up approach. CESS is implemented on an object-oriented programming environment (SCOOPS on TI-SCHEME). A knowledge representation scheme known as System Entity Structure is employed for MODEL management, recording system structural knowledge, and the utilization of techniques in Artificial Intelligence. Some prospective research topics are also brought up.

Power, politics and the innovation process: analysis of an organizational field in agricultureEgri, Carolyn Patricia 05 1900 (has links)
An analysis of the organizational field of B.C. agriculture was conducted
to explore the politics of the innovation process. Agricultural innovations in
organic farming, synthetic agrichemicals and biogenetic engineering were studied
at the individual, organizational and interorganizational levels. Research
questions regarding the innovation decision—making process, innovation
championship, organizational politics, organization theory and
interorganizational networks were explored.
A total of 137 persons (organic and conventional farmers, BCMAFF employees,
farm organization employees) were interviewed in this research study. Data was
collected via semi—structured interviews, questionnaires, and analysis of
publications to investigate a total of 28 research questions.
Similarities and differences between organic and conventional farmers in
respect to their socioeconomic characteristics, motivations, actions and
environmentalist beliefs were identified. Organic farmers basis for their
innovation adoption decisions was found to be largely informed by their
environmentalist philosophy whereas the primary motivating factor for
conventional farmers was economic rather than ideological.
Case studies of 33 farm organizations (20 conventional and 13 organic) were
conducted. Organizational fields were found to be defined not only in terms of
products, services and geographic location but also in terms of ideology. Within
the conventional agriculture organizational field there was a high degree of
homogeneity in organizational structures and decision making processes as well
as close collaboration with government policy makers. Within the organic
agriculture organizational field there was homogeneity in production practices,
but heterogeneity in organizational structures, goals and decision making
processes based on the radicalness of the environmentalist philosophy of an
organization’s membership. The formation and operation of interorganizational
networks in each organizational field confirmed previous findings of the critical
problems in overorganized and underorganized networks. A longitudinal analysis of organizational politics in the organic
agriculture organizational field revealed that institutionalization processes
engender political contests among competing interests. The successful
championship of an innovative government regulatory system was attributed to the
early use of a wide variety of collaborative and competitive political games.
Opponents’ efforts to neutralize champions’ escalation of commitment during the
later stages of the innovation development process proved to be ineffective.

The application of Web Ontology Language for information sharing in the dairy industry /Gao, Yongchun, 1977- January 2005 (has links)
In this thesis the Semantic Web and its core technology---Web Ontology Language (OWL)---were studied. Considering the features of the different units involved in the dairy industry, OWL, in its capacity as an ontology description language, can be used to encode and thus exchange ontology among the units in the dairy industry. After creation of OWL file using Protege, an OWL parser was programmed to decode the ontology and data contained in the OWL file. Based on these investigations, it was determined that OWL can be used to encode, exchange, and decode data between farms and the units that interact with them, although large volumes of data among the service agencies pose certain challenges in terms of transfer size. A structure of the Semantic Web services in the dairy industry is proposed for Semantic Web Service registration, search and usage related to certain farm-management tasks. With the help of the Semantic Web and OWL, one can expect a more efficient data processing in the future dairy industry.

Nursing and the computerized ageDeLorey, Robin. January 2000 (has links)
This thesis provides the rationale for the necessity of a redefining of the holistic back into nursing after the consequences of technological restructuring. This study revealed that the impact of modern technology-based, prescriptive changes on professional nursing practice in Canada has resulted in an increasing alienation of labour for nurses, including direct interference with patient-based nursing care, authority, necessity for broader knowledge systems, stability and fragility in job security. The implications of this examination have demonstrated that this shift has not been the result of mechanical technologies alone, but the science-based management philosophies and communicative nature of technologies as well. / This project has verified that more importantly than the advancing technological shift itself the danger for professional nursing has been in what these systems are actively replacing. Namely, prescriptive technologies work to establish a managerial or 'expert' presence and authority within the practice of nursing serving to change professional understandings for nurses as well as to decrease value in the judgement and holistic care skills of registered nurses.
