Computer-Aided and Machine Learning-Driven Drug Design: From Theory to Applications (Computer-Aided Drug Discovery and Design #3)
by Vinícius Gonçalves MaltarolloThe computer-aided drug design research field comprises several different knowledge areas, and often, researchers are only familiar or experienced with a small fraction of them. Indeed, pharmaceutical industries and large academic groups rely on a broad range of professionals, including chemists, biologists, pharmacists, and computer scientists. In this sense, it is difficult to be an expert in every single CADD approach. Furthermore, there are well-established methods that are constantly revisited, and novel approaches are introduced, such as machine-learning based scoring functions for molecular docking. This book provides an organized update of the most commonly employed CADD techniques, as well as successful examples of actual applications to develop bioactive compounds/drug candidates. Also includes is a section of case studies that cover certain pharmacological/target classes, focusing on the applications of the previously described methods. This part will especially appeal to professionals who are not as interested in the theoretical aspects of CADD. This is an ideal book for students, researchers, and industry professionals in the fields of pharmacy, chemistry, biology, bioinformatics, computer sciences, and medicine who are seeking a go-to reference on drug design and medicinal chemistry.

Computer-Based Diagnostics and Systematic Analysis of Knowledge
by Norbert M. Seel Dirk Ifenthaler Pablo Pirnay-DummerWhat is knowledge? How can it be successfully assessed? How can we best use the results? As questions such as these continue to be discussed and the learning sciences continue to deal with expanding amounts of data, the challenge of applying theory to diagnostic methods takes on more complexity. Computer-Based Diagnostics and Systematic Analysis of Knowledge meets this challenge head-on as an international panel of experts reviews current and emerging assessment methodologies in the psychological and educational arenas. Emphasizing utility, effectiveness, and ease of interpretation, contributors critically discuss practical innovations and intriguing possibilities (including mental representations, automated knowledge visualization, modeling, and computer-based feedback) across fields ranging from mathematics education to medicine. These contents themselves model the steps of systematic inquiry, from theoretical construct to real-world application: Historical and theoretical foundations for the investigation of knowledge Current opportunities for understanding knowledge empirically Strategies for the aggregation and classification of knowledge Tools and methods for comparison and empirical testing Data interfaces between knowledge assessment tools Guidance in applying research results to particular fields Researchers and professionals in education psychology, instructional technology, computer science, and linguistics will find Computer-Based Diagnostics and Systematic Analysis of Knowledge a stimulating guide to a complex present and a rapidly evolving future.
Computer-Driven Instructional Design with INTUITEL
by Kevin Fuchs Peter A. HenningINTUITEL is a research project that was co-financed by the European Commission with the aim to advance state-of-the-art e-learning systems via addition of guidance and feedback for learners. Through a combination of pedagogical knowledge, measured learning progress and a broad range of environmental and background data, INTUITEL systems will provide guidance towards an optimal learning pathway. This allows INTUITEL-enabled learning management systems to offer learners automated, personalised learning support so far only provided by human tutors INTUITEL is - in the first place - a design pattern for the creation of adaptive e-learning systems. It focuses on the reusability of existing learning material and especially the annotation with semantic meta data. INTUITEL introduces a novel approach that describes learning material as well as didactic and pedagogical meta knowledge by the use of ontologies. Learning recommendations are inferred from these ontologies during runtime. This way INTUITEL solves a common problem in the field of adaptive systems: it is not restricted to a certain field. Any content from any domain can be annotated. The INTUITEL research team also developed a prototype system. Both the theoretical foundations and how to implement your own INTUITEL system are discussed in this book.

Computer-Supported Collaborative Decision-Making (Automation, Collaboration, & E-Services #4)
by Florin Gheorghe Filip Constantin-Bălă Zamfirescu Cristian CiureaThis is a book about how management and control decisions are made by persons who collaborate and possibly use the support of an information system. The decision is the result of human conscious activities aiming at choosing a course of action for attaining a certain objective (or a set of objectives). The act of collaboration implies that several entities who work together and share responsibilities to jointly plan, implement and evaluate a program of activities to achieve the common goals. The book is intended to present a balanced view of the domain to include both well-established concepts and a selection of new results in the domains of methods and key technologies. It is meant to answer several questions, such as: a) "How are evolving the business models towards the ever more collaborative schemes?"; b) "What is the role of the decision-maker in the new context?" c) "What are the basic attributes and trends in the domain of decision-supporting information systems?"; d) "Which are the basic methods to aggregate the individual preferences?" e)"What is the impact of modern information and communication technologies on the design and usage of decision support systems for groups of people?".
Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning at the Workplace: CSCL@Work (Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning Series #14)
by Volker Wulf Isa Jahnke Sean P. GogginsThis book is an edited volume of case studies exploring the uptake and use of computer supported collaborative learning in work settings. This book fills a significant gap in the literature. A number of existing works provide empirical research on collaborative work practices (Lave & Wenger, 1987; Davenport, 2005), the sharing of information at work (Brown & Duguid, 2000), and the development of communities of practice in workplace settings (Wenger, 1998). Others examine the munificent variation of information and communication technology use in the work place, including studies of informal social networks, formal information distribution and other socio-technical combinations found in work settings (Gibson & Cohen, 2003). Another significant thread of prior work is focused on computer supported collaborative learning, much of it investigating the application of computer support for learning in the context of traditional educational institutions, like public schools, private schools, colleges and tutoring organizations. Exciting new theories of how knowledge is constructed by groups (Stahl, 2006), how teachers contribute to collaborative learning (reference to another book in the series) and the application of socio-technical scripts for learning is explicated in book length works on CSCL. Book length empirical work on CSCW is widespread, and CSCL book length works are beginning to emerge with greater frequency. We distinguish CSCL at Work from prior books written under the aegis of training and development, or human resources more broadly. The book aims to fill a void between existing works in CSCW and CSCL, and will open with a chapter characterizing the emerging application of collaborative learning theories and practices to workplace learning. CSCL and CSCW research each make distinct and important contributions to the construction of collaborative workplace learning.
