Exploring the Role of Social Learning on Team Mental Models
Singh,Vishal; Dong,Andy; Gero,S.John // 2009
This paper presents a computational model developed to study the role of different modes of social learning on the formation of team mental models (TMM). In this model, the TMM is formed over time as ...
Extending Multiple Domain Matrices to Allow for the Modeling of Boolean Operators in Process Models
Kreimeyer, Matthias; Braun, Stefanie; Gürtler, Matthias; Lindemann, Udo // 2009
This paper suggests an approach to combine the analytical advantages of matrix-based notation with the modeling capabilities of graphical notation to model process flows including logic operators. ...
Extending the Active Sum / Passive Sum Measure to Include Boolean Operators: A Case Study

Boolean Searches
The following examples demonstrate some search strings that use boolean operators:
- design community
Find rows that contain at least one of the two words. - +design +community
Find rows that contain both words. - +design community
Find rows that contain the word “design”, but rank rows higher if they also contain “community”. - +design -community
Find rows that contain the word “design” but not “community”. - +design ~community
Find rows that contain the word “design”, but if the row also contains the word “community”, rate it lower than if row does not. - +design +(>community <decisions)
Find rows that contain the words “design” and “community”, or “design” and “decisions” (in any order), but rank “design community” higher than “design decisions” - design*
Find rows that contain words such as “design”, “designs”, “designing”, or “designer”. - "some words"
Find rows that contain the exact phrase “some words” (for example, rows that contain “some words of wisdom” but not “some noise words”). Note that the " characters that enclose the phrase are operator characters that delimit the phrase. They are not the quotation marks that enclose the search string itself.
