“…It has to be accepted, that the ICT as a new approach is complementary to education, not its replacement. The goal of its development is to improve educational resources, especially human resources [7]. The development of ICT and the use of modern tools and concepts provide a platform for the field of information expansion and easy and low-cost access for learners, including students and online researchers and it enables the rapid exchange of information and cultural interactions [8].…”

Today, attention is paid to the importance and special position of information and communication technology (ICT) with the rapid growth of technology that has affected all aspects of organizations in some way and it is one of the components of modern societies. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of the knowledge management process on ICT dimensions and the contribution of competitive advantage in professors of physical education and sport sciences faculties in Islamic Azad University Branches. This study was an applied and descriptive-correlation research. The population of this study was 86 professors. The collected data were analyzed by K-S tests and Pearson and Spearman Correlation Coefficient. The results showed that 59.30 % of subjects had doctorate or were PhD students, 40.70 % of them had a Master’s degree, 63.66 % of them were men, and 36.04 % of them were women. The results also showed that there was a significant relationship between the knowledge management process with ICT (0.710), the knowledge management process and the contribution of competitive advantage (0.619), and the contribution of competitive advantage with ICT (0.612). The use of ICT enables educational organizations to benefit from their intellectual advantages. It is suggested, that physical education and sport sciences faculties pay special attention to the promotion of their employees’ knowledge, more use of information technology, and the creation of a culture that is full of competition for success in their organizational mission.

“…The context has the ability to provide major meaning to knowledge, promoting more effective comprehension of the determined situation in the collaborative work [10]. Context is a crucial component of fully understanding of knowledge [8,11,12], which promotes more effective comprehension of a determined situation in the collaborative work [10]. Without appropriate contextual description, knowledge could be isolated from other relevant knowledge, resulting in limited or distorted understanding [9,13].…”

Knowledge of software security is highly complex since it is quite context-specific and can be applied in diverse ways. To secure software development, software developers require not only knowledge about general security concepts but also about the context for which the software is being developed. With traditional security-centric knowledge formats, it is difficult for developers or knowledge users to retrieve their required security information based on the requirements of software products and development technologies. In order to effectively regulate the operation of security knowledge and be an essential part of practical software development practices, we argue that security knowledge must first incorporate features that specify what contextual characteristics are to be handled, and represent the security knowledge in a format that is understandable and acceptable to the individuals. This study introduces a novel ontology approach for modeling security knowledge with a context-based approach, by which security knowledge can be retrieved, taking the context of the software application at hand into consideration. In this paper, we present our security ontology with the design concepts and the corresponding evaluation process.Information 2019, 10, 216 2 of 12 security to methodically classify various security concepts, such as security attacks and vulnerabilities as well as related security prevention mechanisms [5,6]. The knowledge representation of ontology not only integrates knowledge resources at both abstract and semantic levels, but can also be adopted by knowledge sharing services such as advanced knowledge search, knowledge visualization, and therefore, supports the learning process of software security.This paper is part of ongoing research developing a contextual learning environment for software security, in which ontology is used as the kernel knowledge repository in managing contextualized security knowledge. The objective of this research is to support software developers and knowledge users to define and use security knowledge appropriately, adapting to their working context. The ontology we designed integrates application context, security domain knowledge, and contextualized knowledge, allowing contextual inquiry through software scenarios that users would be interested in or familiar with. In this paper, we present our security ontology with the design concepts and the evaluation process.The rest of this paper is organized as follows. Section 2 introduces the background knowledge about the context and knowledge. In Section 3, we describe the design of our ontology. Section 4 presents the evaluation process of the ontology, followed by a discussion in Section 5. We discuss related works in Section 6. Lastly, Section 7 presents the conclusion and our future works. Context and Knowledge Management

“…We identified preliminary reasons in either introducing or updating DTs. They are to gain in-depth understanding of the contextual information [13] and need of operational granularity [14]. Understanding that optimization for adaptability within the contextual information of each participant in big data ecosystem is more important than optimizing for cost, performance, or features.…”

Recent advancements in digital technologies (DTs) have fundamentally enabled collectives to collaborate on analyzing, disseminating, and leveraging the data for many enterprise-wide applications. Real-time access to changing characteristics of analytical information is critical for an enterprise to run a competitive business and respond to a dynamics of marketplace. Enterprises are predominantly recognizing that business processes (BPs) are the driving force in developing new innovations and competitive strategies to enable appropriate Big Data Architecture Patterns (BDAPs) such that the critical and sustainable factors are in the existence of entities. The integration of BDAPs with BPs can become a centralized instrument for enterprises in accurately construe business scenarios. The generic BDAPs are immature and requires a vast amount of BP performance data in order to support a valuable analysis with highest level of granularity. Existing alliances between BDAPs and BP lifecycle are daunting to rationalize characteristics of a real-time enterprise. In this paper, we recognize that as enterprises become more BDAP driven, it's only natural that those insights find their way into the BPs that can place them into action. We provide an approach to derive and customize BDAP for specific BP association to timely delivery of the required information and regardless of the underlying concerns of the DTs. We illustrate the ability to accustom the solution that sustains real-time capabilities of an enterprise in presence of anticipated BPs' performance objectives utilizing BDAPs. Index Terms-Big data architecture patterns (BDAPs), business processes (BPs), digital technologies (DTs), degree of coverage (DoC), real-time enterprises (REs).
