Decision modelA decision model in decision theory is the starting point for a decision method within a formal (axiomatic) system. Decision models contain at least one action axiom. An action is in the form "IF is true, THEN do ". An action axiom tests a condition (antecedent) and, if the condition has been met, then (consequent) it suggests (mandates) an action: from knowledge to action. A decision model may also be a network of connected decisions, information and knowledge that represents a decision-making approach that can be used repeatedly (such as one developed using the Decision Model and Notation standard).
Chercheur postdoctoralOn appelle souvent chercheur postdoctoral (ou, improprement, postdoctorant ou encore chercheur postdoctorat, souvent en abrégé en « postdoc ») un chercheur titulaire d'une thèse de doctorat (généralement depuis moins de dix ans) engagé en contrat à durée déterminée dans un laboratoire de recherche. Apparus d'abord dans le domaine de la biologie dans le monde anglo-saxon, les postdocs se sont généralisés dans la recherche académique à la fin des années 1990.
Technical communicationTechnical communication (or Tech Comm) is communication of technical subject matter such as engineering, science, or technology content. The largest part of it tends to be technical writing, though importantly it often requires aspects of visual communication (which in turn sometimes entails technical drawing, requiring more specialized training). Technical communication also encompasses oral delivery modes such as presentations involving technical material.
