ArchiMedes is a cloud-based architecture tool built upon our WikiXL semantic knowledge management platform. ArchiMedes' core capabilities include publication, enrichment, analysis and integration of architecture knowledge. In its most straightforward implementation, ArchiMedes connects to an architecture model repository and publishes the model contents in a browsable interface, thereby disseminating...
Tailoring treatment and clinical decision making to a person's unique characteristics is the next milestone for healthcare informatics, but for it to be accomplished, big data analytics for identifying risk factors and other hidden patterns among patients become paramount. In future these analytics will take the form of multicenter observational research, for which data preparation is vital. Specifically,...
Enterprise Architecture Management relies on information from different management levels, functional areas and for example in case of holdings or mergers from different organizations. This results in a variety of tools, models, and model schemata that cover EAM aspects. At the same time, there is a desire for interchangeability and reuse of EA models. Here, model transformation is a promising approach...
Big data is data that exceeds the processing capacity of traditional database systems. The data is too voluminous, moves too fast, or is impossible to be managed by the structures of existing database architectures. Hence there must be an alternative way to process these data. This paper outlines the fundamental aspects of Big Data along with its opportunities and challenges. The paper builds on some...
When the Internet is the most part of human life, traditional learning is changed gradually. People will learn from the Internet besides in the classroom. This paper presents an approach of e-Learning based on semantic P2P Network?? Virtual Hierarchical Tree Gird Organizations (VIRGO), which takes advantages for all people can participate the activities due to its distributed technologies. The teachers...
Decentralized systems are systems-of-systems whose services are governed by two or more separate organizations under distinct spheres of authority. Coordinated evolution of the various elements of a decentralized system may be difficult, if not impossible, as individual organizations evolve their service offerings in response to organization- and service-specific pressures, including market demand,...
Cloud Computing is a paradigm that applies a service model on infrastructures, platforms and software. In the last few years, this new idea has been showing its potentials and how, in the long run, it will affect Information Technology and the act of interfacing to computation and storage. This article introduces the FCFA project, a framework for an ontology-based resource life-cycle management and...
The wealth of modern enterprises has progressively shifted from tangible assets (capital, resources, ) into intangible ones (knowledge, reputation, skills management, innovation processes, ). Intangibles are closely related to the natural interactions normally occurring among work practices. This is where ideas, innovation, learning, knowledge, social cohesion, and other diverse intangibles synergistically...
Business processes perform a significant role in increasing the success of organizational processes and functionalities. Due to the ever increasing growth in the scale and complexity of processes in line with taking advantage of combinational methods and ideas to optimize workflows and gain higher efficiency, lack of a framework considering both business process semantic and structure for business...
The "motivation domain" of an Enterprise Architecture addresses objectives in a broad scope ranging from high-level statements expressing the goals of an enterprise to declarations of requirements on business processes, services and systems. An important development regarding the incorporation of the motivation domain in a comprehensive Enterprise Architecture modeling language is the upcoming...
Microarchitectural simulators are often partitioned into separate, but interacting, functional and timing simulators. These simulators interact through some interface whose level of detail depends upon the needs of the timing simulator. The level of detail supported by the interface profoundly affects the speed of the functional simulator, therefore, it is desirable to provide only the detail that...
The main problem of cooperative operation in DLF is resource sharing and resource unified management under heterogeneous environment. Based on the theory of grid and its application, a content service grid for digital library federation (DLF) is constructed, and the components and their functions of every grid layer are analyzed. Then a method of resource sharing based on publish/subscribe notification...
Knowledge Management (KM) plays the key role in upgrading the competitiveness of an organization, one of objectives of KM is to promote the share and reuse of all kind of knowledge. To this end, task circumstance (TC) of knowledge is crucial. Base on task circumstance, this paper proposes a framework of KM to facilitate knowledge reuse. According to the definition of domain ontology, this paper introduces...
In this paper we present RefGen, a reference chain identification module for French. RefGen algorithm uses genre specific properties of reference chains and an accessibility measure to find the mentions of the referred entity. The module applies strong and weak constraints (lexical, morpho-syntactic, and semantic) to automatically identify coreference relations between referential expressions. We...
