Low-Cost Federated Broad Learning for Privacy-Preserved Knowledge Sharing in the RIS-Aided Internet of Vehicles

High-efficiency and low-cost knowledge sharing can improve the decision-making ability of autonomous vehicles by mining knowledge from the Internet of Vehicles(IoVs).However,it is challenging to ensure high efficiency of local data learning models while preventing privacy leakage in a high mobility environment.In order to protect data privacy and improve data learning efficiency in knowledge sharing,we propose an asynchronous federated broad learning(FBL)framework that integrates broad learning(BL)into federated learning(FL).In FBL,we design a broad fully connected model(BFCM)as a local model for training client data.To enhance the wireless channel quality for knowledge sharing and reduce the communication and computation cost of participating clients,we construct a joint resource allocation and reconfigurable intelligent surface(RIS)configuration optimization framework for FBL.The problem is decoupled into two convex subproblems.Aiming to improve the resource scheduling efficiency in FBL,a double Davidon–Fletcher–Powell(DDFP)algorithm is presented to solve the time slot allocation and RIS configuration problem.Based on the results of resource scheduling,we design a reward-allocation algorithm based on federated incentive learning(FIL)in FBL to compensate clients for their costs.The simulation results show that the proposed FBL framework achieves better performance than the comparison models in terms of efficiency,accuracy,and cost for knowledge sharing in the IoV.

Does Knowledge Sharing and Technopreneurship Affect Entrepreneurial Outcomes in Developing Economies?Using The SME and ANOVA Approaches

This study on technopreneurship aims to reconfigure entrepreneurial outcomes,but how knowledge sharing moderates the interaction is an academic and practical concern.This study focuses on how knowledge sharing and technopreneurship affect the entrepreneurial outcome in Bangladeshi small and medium enterprises(SMEs).This research has established the following aims to establish a meaningful association between technopreneurship,knowledge sharing,and the outcomes of entrepreneurial endeavours.In pursuit of knowledge,data were collected through primary sources after establishing the questionnaire’s validity and reliability.Findings revealed that technopreneurship and knowledge sharing individually affected entrepreneurial outcomes.However,knowledge sharing could not significantly moderate the interaction between technopreneurship and entrepreneurial outcomes.Hence,the recommendation was anchored on improving knowledge sharing,technopreneurship,and managerial dexterity of owners and managers.

Influence of Knowledge Heterogeneity on Innovation Performance in Innovation Teams——Based on the Mediating Role of Knowledge Sharing

To break through the restrictions of traditional organizational forms,systems,and mechanisms and quickly respond to the innovative development requirements of CASC,the innovation team has gradually become a crucial organizational form within CASC.One of the biggest differences between the innovation team and traditional orga-nizational structure lies in knowledge heterogeneity.Existing studies present different conclusions on the relationship between knowledge heterogeneity and innovation performance,which should be analyzed according to specific situ-ations.Therefore,this paper takes the innovation team of CASC as the research object to conduct an empirical study on 186 team members,propose conceptual models and hypotheses,and study the relationship among knowledge heterogeneity,knowledge sharing,and innovation performance.The research results indicate that the two dimensions of knowledge heterogeneity—explicit knowledge heterogeneity and implicit knowledge heterogeneity—are beneficial to innovation performance when they are to a great extent.Knowledge sharing plays a partially mediating role between knowledge heterogeneity and collaborative innovation performance.It reveals the influence of knowledge heterogene-ity on innovation performance in the innovation team of CASC,aiming to provide a certain reference for the establish-ment and development of CASC’s innovation team.

Approach for knowledge sharing based on ontology context immigration

In order to better achieve knowledge sharing based on distributed ontologies, an approach based on ontology context immigration （OCI）is proposed. Compared with traditional approaches such as ontology integration and mapping, the proposed approach can reduce the implementation complexity. This approach can be mainly divided into three phases： ontology context determination for a given term, ontology semantic similarity computation between ontology terms, and ontology context immigration. As for a local semantic term based on distributed ontologies, an appropriate ontology context of the term is determined and extracted from a local ontology most associated with the term by using semantic similarity computation. Then, the ontology context is dynamically immigrated to the source ontology for enriching semantic information related to the term. A system called distributed knowledge sharing system（DKSS） is developed to illustrate this approach. The system adopts multi-agent technology for better communication and coordination between different ontology information sources. The experimental results show that it is efficient for distributed ontology knowledge sharing. The proposed approach does not require the support of a global ontology or the maintenance of complex ontology mapping relations, and thus it has better maintainability and scalability.

Individual knowledge transfer is also a factor. The paper examines knowledge transfer and sharing, with the goal of determining the most effective internal communication tool for information transfer. The research findings should aid company management in organizing internal communication in a way that allows them to carry out their knowledge management plan.

Research on Knowledge Sharing Behavior Based on Knowledge Convening and Fermenting Model

Despite of the fact that knowledge sharing has become the focus of current literature and management practice, the core process of knowledge sharing has not been identified. What are the main barriers and incentives for people to share their knowledge, what is the internal mechanism of knowledge sharing, and how people evaluate the benefit coming from knowledge sharing are the core areas in knowledge management. In this paper, we reexamine the knowledge sharing based on knowledge convening and fermenting model. After comparing the process of knowledge movement with that of biotic fermenting, several important attributes that knowledge owns are discovered, they are existence of origination, inheritance and variation, the need of assembly for knowledge evolution and medium for knowledge assemblage. Furthermore, the authors put forward a new model--knowledge convening and fermenting model and in this way consider knowledge sharing as a process of knowledge fermenting. The authors thoroughly analyze the biotic attributes of knowledge, the elements of knowledge share fermenting model, and typical knowledge share fermenting.

An Analysis of Knowledge Sharing Approaches for Emerging-technology-based Strategic Alliances in Electronic Industry

Emerging technologies are now initiating new industries and transforming old ones with tremendous power. They are different games compared with established technologies with distinctive characteristics of knowledge management in knowledge-based and technological-innovation-based competition. How to obtain knowledge advantage and enhance competences by knowledge sharing for emerging-technology-based strategic alliances （ETBSA） is what we concern in this paper. On the basis of our previous work on emerging technologies＇ distinctive attributes, we counter the wide spread presumption that the primary purpose of strategic alliances is knowledge acquiring by means of learning. We offers new insight into the knowledge sharing approaches of ETBSAs - the knowledge integrating approach by which each member firm integrates its partner＇s complementary knowledge base into the products and services and maintains its own knowledge specialization at the same time. So that ETBSAs should plan and practice their knowledge sharing strategies from the angle of knowledge integrating rather than knowledge acquiring. A four-dimensional framework is developed to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of these two knowledge sharing approaches. Some cases in electronic industry are introduced to illustrate our point of view.

Mobile Application for Research Knowledge Sharing and Dissemination: The Case of Nm-Aist Univeristy Tanzania

The utilization of mobile and web applications has surpassed all other platforms in terms of disseminating researchers’ knowledge among diverse communities throughout the world. The current method of disseminating researchers’ knowledge to the communities in the Arusha region in Tanzania is through meetings, workshops, and focus group discussions held by researchers, agricultural extension officers and community members after every three months or during field study. Yet the strategy is inefficient and ineffective in practice. The purpose of this study was to determine the most efficient and successful method of disseminating knowledge in communities. The study began with a qualitative phase, utilizing an interpretive technique and a qualitative multiple case study research design. The Arusha region in Tanzania was selected as a case study where different social activities were undertaken, including farming, livestock keeping, tourism activities and fishing. Individual participants were interviewed by using a semi-structured questionnaire. In addition, focus group discussions were conducted to gather more information regarding the needs of the mobile application. Through the implementation of the application, the second phase of the study led to the development of a mobile application that includes community members, agricultural extension officers, and researchers that will enable anyone to install the application on their mobile phones to access knowledge regarding activities undertaken in Arusha. According to the findings of the first phase of the research, a substantial percentage of community members own mobile phones, and hence a mobile application would be sufficient. The research also found that most researcher-community interactions occur at the data collection and intervention assessment (field trials) stages. Hence, the mobile application will benefit community members, district agricultural, irrigation, and cooperative officers (DAICO), and researchers.

Impact of Crowdsourcee’s Vertical Fairness Concern on the Crowdsourcing Knowledge Sharing Behavior and Its Incentive Mechanism

This paper examines in detail the impact of the crowdsourcee’s vertical fairness concern on the knowledge sharing incentive mechanism in crowdsourcing communities.The conditions for the establishment of the incentive mechanism are analyzed and the impact of fairness concern sensitivity on expected economic revenues of both sides as well as the crowdsourcing project performance is studied by game theory and computer simulation.The results show that the knowledge sharing incentive mechanism can only be established if the ratio between the performance improvement rate and the private cost reduction rate caused by shared knowledge is within a certain range.The degree of the optimal linear incentives,the private solution efforts,and the improvement of knowledge sharing level are positively correlated with the sensitivity of vertical fairness concern.In the non-incentive mode,the ratio between the performance conversion rate of private solution effort and the performance conversion rate of knowledge sharing effort plays an important role in moderating a crowdsourcing project’s performance.The authors find that the number of participants is either conducive or nonconducive to the improvement of performance.The implementation of knowledge sharing incentive can achieve a win-win situation for both the crowdsourcer and the crowdsourcee.

The Research and Practice of Professional Knowledge Sharing and Service: A Case Study of the Geography, Resources, and Ecology Knowledge Service System

Knowledge Sharing and Service is one effective way to eliminate knowledge poverty and promote social development.Existing knowledge sharing and service is mainly provided in some organizations or specific social groups.Besides,a knowledge sharing and service system about geography,natural resources and ecology has not been reported.We proposed a public welfare professional knowledge-sharing and service platform for all members of society in geography,natural resources and ecology.The construction of a knowledge-sharing and service platform is based on five aspects of work：analysis of user requirements,setting standards and drafting policies,aggregating knowledge resources,the technical realization and the maintenance of service.Knowledge resources can be aggregated by using a＂two-step＂strategy.A knowledge-sharing and service system can be implemented by using＂four-tier＂structures that are comprised of resources,resource access,application and service,based on the Hadoop-distributed cluster architecture.It has been proven that adhering to the idea of co-building and co-sharing,and using the mechanism of＂payment is equal to benefit＂can effectively promote the gathering of knowledge resources,and arouse the enthusiasm of all members of society to participate in knowledge sharing and service,to achieve the objective of narrowing the knowledge gap between social groups.

Followers＇ Innovative Behavior in Organizations： The Role of Transformational Leadership, Psychological Capital and Knowledge Sharing

This study develops and tests a conceptual model of followers＇ perceptions of transformational leadership as an antecedent to their innovative behavior in organizations. Specifically, we hypothesize that followers＇ innovative behavior can be directly and indirectly influenced by their perceptions of transformational leadership. Knowledge sharing has a mediating effect and followers＇ psychological capital has a moderating role in the relationship between transformational leadership and followers＇ innovative behavior. A total of 212 employees from a diverse range of industries filled out questionnaires. Hierarchical linear modeling is used to analyze the relations. Results reveal that transformational leadership produces positive and significant impacts on followers＇ innovative behavior and this relationship is fully mediated by knowledge sharing. Results also indicate that the positive relationship between transformational leadership and followers＇ innovative behavior is enhanced only when followers possess high psychological capital. This paper adds to innovation literature by empirically testing the moderating role of psychological capital and the mediating role of knowledge sharing on the link between transformational leadership and followers＇ innovative behavior. Implications of the findings for theory, research, and practice are discussed.

High Performance Work Systems and Employee Creativity： The Mediating Effect of Knowledge Sharing

Employee creativity is both the core element of a firm＇s innovation capabilities and the sources for its growth. To improve an organization＇s ability to innovate, it is necessary to improve the creativity of its employees. Based on theories from strategic human resource management, creativity and organizational learning, this paper investigates the relationship between high performance work systems and employee creativity and explores the role knowledge sharing plays in their relationship. A questionnaire is designed and administered to a group of part-time executive students in the winter of 2012. Two hundred students are invited to answer the survey questions with 117 valid responses. Data are collected and processed by using statistical regressions. The empirical findings reveal that high performance work systems positively affect knowledge sharing and employee creativity. Knowledge sharing plays a mediating role in the relationship between high performance work systems and employee creativity. Implications for practice and future research are discussed.

Process-oriented knowledge-sharing platform for chemical engineering design projects

A process-oriented knowledge-sharing platform is studied to improve knowledge sharing and project management of chemical engineering design enterprises. First, problems and characteristics of knowledge sharing in multi-projects of chemical engineering design are analyzed. Then based on theories of project management, process management, and knowledge management, a process-oriented knowledge-sharing platform is proposed. The platform has three characteristics: knowledge is divided into professional knowledge and project management knowledge; knowledge sharing is integrated with the project process, which makes knowledge sharing a necessary part of the project process and ensures the quantity of knowledge shared; the platform provides quantitative measurements of incentive mechanisms for knowledge providers and users which ensures the quality of knowledge shared. This knowledge-sharing platform uses two knowledge management tools, a knowledge map and a knowledge base, to support the platform.

CA-KSE: a combinatorial algorithm for benchmarking in knowledge sharing environment

Purpose–Over the past decade,the cost of product development has increased drastically,and this is due to the inability of most enterprises to locate suitable and optimal collaborators for knowledge sharing.Nevertheless,knowledge sharing is a mechanism that helps people find the best collaborators with relevant knowledge.Hence,a new approach for locating optimal collaborators with relevant knowledge is needed,which couldhelp enterprisein reducingcost andtime ina knowledge-sharingenvironment.Thepaper aimsto discuss these issues.Design/methodology/approach–One unique challenge in the domain of knowledge sharing is that collaborators do not possess the same number of events resident in the knowledge available for sharing.In this paper,the authors present a new approach for locating optimal collaborators in knowledge-sharing environment using the combinatorial algorithm(CA-KSE).Findings–The proposed pattern-matching approach implemented in Java is considered efficient for solving the issue peculiar to collaboration in knowledge-sharing domain.The authors benchmarked the proposed approach with its semi-global pairwise alignment and global alignment counterparts through scores comparison and the receiver operating characteristic curve.The results obtained from the comparisons showedthat CA-KSEis a perfect test havinganarea undercurveof 0.9659,comparedto the other approaches.Research limitations/implications–The paper has proposed an efficient algorithm,which is considered better than related methods,for matching several collaborators(more than two)in KS environment.The method could be deployed in medical field for gene analysis,software organizations for distributed development and academics for knowledge sharing.Originality/value–One sign of strength of this approach,compared to most sequence alignment approaches that can only match two collaborators at a time,is that it can match several collaborators at a faster rate.

External Incentive Mechanism Research on Knowledge Cooperation-Sharing in the Chinese Creative Industry Cluster

The creative industry is a knowledge-based industry,but it is difficult and complex to create knowledge for enterprises.The principle of cooperationsharing posits that companies’limited resources prohibit them from gaining a competitive advantage in all business areas.Therefore,cooperation-sharing can help businesses overcome this hurdle.Cooperation-sharing expedites economic development,breaks the barrier of independent knowledge creation,and enhances resource utilization.However,the effectiveness and stability of knowledge cooperation-sharing are key problems facing governments and other regulators.This study can help regulators promote honesty in enterprise cooperation-sharing.Based on the hypothesis of bounded rationality,the evolutionary game theory was used to construct the“Enterprises–Informal Institutions–Government”tripartite game matrix.Next,based on this game matrix,a simulation analysis method was used to analyze the effects of external incentives on the stability of evolutionary strategies.The analysis shows that the strategic choice of the“Enterprises–Informal Institutions–Government”tripartite game could be affected by the initial state strategy choices of the other two players,but more influential were the cost and external incentive levels of the game players.The results indicate that the government and informal institutions should regulate enterprises with a rational external incentive mechanism that boosts the enterprises’incentive to cooperate honestly.Thus,an effective external incentive mechanism can significantly improve the probability of enterprises behaving honestly in cooperation-sharing and promote the development of the creative industry.

Integrating Project Management, Software Development, and Knowledge Management Models: A Case Study in a Public ICT Services Organization

In project-based organizations knowledge is a critical resource used to develop and deliver products and services with a high level of quality. Therefore, a systematic and sustainable process is necessary to coordinate knowledge management, project management and product lifecycle. This scenario predominates in companies focused on the creation and maintenance of information systems. This article presents an exploratory study based on a framework that integrates cognitive, managerial, and operational processes in a public Brazilian organization that provides services in the area of information and communications technology, focusing on the construction and maintenance of information systems. Those processes are operationalized by three management models considering knowledge, project, and software development processes. Our proposal aims to understand the relationships between those three management models and their influence on the software development process in the organization under study. Our premise is based on the principle that cognitive management, project management, and software development management must be integrated to fulfill the demands of product development and service provision. The research data was composed of registers of working hours spent on software development and maintenance projects involving 244 people allocated to 5064 projects in the period from 2007 to 2013. The study resulted in the identification of the relationships among the three management models adopted by the organization, with emphasis on knowledge management activities, which were not directly identified, making it difficult to account for and measure them. We established a set of activities connected to each one of the knowledge management model phases. Since those activities were not visible before, our approach contributed to build a systematic process to register and relate activities linked to the dimensions of cognitive processes, project management, and software construction.
