The Semantic Web has been recognized as the next generation web which aims at the automation, integration and reuse of data across different web applications. To realize the Semantic Web, the W3C has adopted standards and tools such as the Resource Description Framework (RDF) and Web Ontology Language (OWL). With the development of the Semantic Web, OWL ontology became a W3C recommended mechanism...
Software Process Improvement (SPI) is necessity to any Software House Organization (SHO). Process improvement requires embedding the knowledge into SHO's practice and structure especially in promoting and facilitating knowledge of best practice in SPI for the benefits of members of community of practice (CoP). Hence, in this paper, knowledge management (KM) and knowledge facilitation are investigated...
Knowledge hoarding in Requirements Elicitation (RE) phase could lead to Information Systems Development (ISD) project failure. Many researchers have discussed important factors in knowledge sharing. Nevertheless, the success rate for ISD projects is low and there are other major factors for consideration. Review was conducted to identify potential gaps in existing literature and to explore new factors...
Cloud computing environment is required an efficiency security techniques due it's contains a numbered of assets such as data, users, technologies, resources and business transactions. Multi Agent system (MAS) architecture is critical to ensure high security facilitation based on the way of its development. A security framework based on MAS architecture to facilitate confidentiality, correctness assurance,...
A major problem facing the full deployment of business-to-consumer (B2C) electronic commerce (e-commerce) is the development of trust on the side of the consumer, particularly in developing countries. Differing characteristics of local environments and their cultures have created a significant level of variation in the acceptance and trust to e-commerce and e-transactions. Exploring influencing factors...
Musical genre and mood classification techniques combining lyric and audio features for Music Information Retrieval (MIR) have been studied widely in recent years. This paper investigates the performances of musical genre and mood classification using only lyric features. In this preliminary study, the Part-of-Speech (POS) feature is utilizes for classification of a collection of 600 songs. Ten musical...
An extensive amount of research is being undertaken to gracefully solve the Human action recognition problem. To this end, in this paper, we introduce the application of self- similarity surfaces for human action recognition. These surfaces were introduced by Shechtman & Irani (CVPR'07) in the context of matching similarities between images or videos. These surfaces are obtained by matching a...
Large number of research papers are available in the form of un-structured (text) format. Knowledge discovery in un-structured document has been recognized as promising task. These documents are typically formatted for human viewing, which varies widely from document to document. Frequent change in their formatting causes difficulties in constructing a global schema. Thus, discovery of interesting...
Virtual communities are becoming importance in many organizations, particularly in the institute of higher learning (IHL). Research communities are common practice in many IHLs, which are form based on similar research interest or research area. With proper internet infrastructure, the research communities formed virtual communities. However, the virtual communities of research communities are lacking...
Knowledge is the most important strategic tool for improving and maintaining organizational performance. Knowledge has become the essential part of every successful organization. This makes the organizations to put more effort in managing knowledge in a new systematic and effective way to accomplish it goals. Organization must be able to identify the need for introducing technology and process to...
Analysis on inter-document relationship is one of the important studies in multi document analysis. In this paper, we will focus on some special properties that multi document articles hold, specifically news articles. Information across news articles reporting on the same story are often related. Cross-document Structure Theory (CST) gives the relationship between pairs of sentences from different...
This paper addresses the process of compound noun construction from simple Malay sentences. To construct the compound noun, we characterize them according to the noun phrase categories in Malay sentence. All these categories are formed based on the combination of noun and noun, noun and noun modifier and noun and non-noun modifier. The noun phrase in Malay sentence is referred to as a word group with...
Classification using association is a recent data mining approach that integrates association rule discovery and classification. A modified version of the Multi-class Classification based on Association Rule (MCAR) is proposed in this paper. The proposed classifier, known as Modified Multi-class Classification based on Association Rule, MMCAR, employs a new rule production function which resulted...
Decision tree algorithms have the ability to deal with missing values. While this ability is considered to be advantage, the extreme effort which is required to achieve it is considered a drawback. With the missing values the correct branch could be missed. Therefore, enhanced mechanisms must be employed to handle these values. Moreover, ignoring these null values may cause critical decision to user...
The OSS community plays a very important role in contributing to and sharing of the knowledge that can ensure the sustainability of OSS. At this crucial juncture, this paper discusses the software development that was aimed to strengthen the OSS community through a series of collaborative tools, namely forum, chat and email. The development of the system used the prototype approach and a follow-up...
Providing an automated transformation tools to derive UML design diagrams including use cases, activity diagrams from use case requirements is important step of model driven development. This is important because use cases are commonly used for structuring and documenting requirements while activity diagram used to show the flow of the system. However, this step is less preferred by the developer...
Software maintenance (SM) environment is highly complex, knowledge-driven and collaborative. Therefore, a Knowledge Management System (KMS) is critical to provide an environment for sharing and sustaining knowledge among members of SM community of practice (CoP). Based on earlier works on KMS framework for collaborative SM, an agent-based KMS prototype system called SM Collaborative Agent Team (SCAT)...
Web has already become the richest information resource of the world. The developments of web-based applications are becoming more reliant on providing high quality of web content and information structure, or widely known as information architecture (IA). However, consumer face with much of incomplete content, unqualified information, poor quality of web structure and lacking of cultural sensitivity...
