Educational programs in e-government : An active, practice- and design-oriented network?
- 2004

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In the autumn of 2004, two higher educational programs in e-government will be starting up at Blekinge Institute of Technology in Southern Sweden. One of these is a Master’s level program, while the other is a more basic, two-year vocational education. Each will be the first of its kind in Scandinavia, and both will be offered as net-based distance education. The interdisciplinary group of researchers/teachers now developing the courses for these educational programs, in co-operation with several other research groups in Scandinavia, see this co-construction of distance education as the beginning of an active Scandinavian network of competence around higher education and ongoing research and development in the e-government area. We are currently exploring the possibilities of using distance education in this area as a way of networking around on-going e-government research and competence enhancement in Scandinavia. The Scandinavian tradition of Participatory Design, as well as ideas about e-government as constantly ongoing co-construction, have inspired us in our work with developing the new educational programs. A reference group consisting of representatives from a number of municipalities and various government agencies plays an important role in this work.

A Multi-dimensional Measure Function for Classifier Performance
- 2004
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Evaluation of classifier performance is often based on statistical methods e.g. cross-validation tests. In these tests performance is often strongly related to or solely based on the accuracy of the classifier on a limited set of instances. The use of measure functions has been suggested as a promising approach to deal with this limitation. However, no usable implementation of a measure function has yet been presented. This article presents such an implementation and demonstrates its usage through a set of experiments. The results indicate that there are cases for which measure functions may be able to capture important aspects of the evaluated classifier that cannot be captured by cross-validation tests.

Spiders, firesouls, and little fingers : Necessary magic in university–community collaboration
- 2004
-
In: Anthropology & Education Quarterly. - Berkeley : American Anthropological Association. - 0161-7761 .- 1548-1492. ; 35:3
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Based on extensive research on university-community collaborative education projects in southern California and southern Sweden, this article proposes two roles and a research strategy/approach as elements essential to sustained collaboration. Recognition and fulfillment of the roles of “spider” and “firesoul,” while “leading with the little finger,” contribute to educational anthropology by linking qualitative/ethnographic research with university and community learning, practice, and service in a process of involvement
