Software Engineering is concerned with systematic delivery of products and services which meet the requirement posed by system stakeholders. One better way to make requirements from stakeholders (problem domain) understandable to developers (solution domain) is to transform such requirements into features. These features can be seen to interact with each other to perform system functionality according...
Selection of a suitable and apposite web service for a particular goal oriented job has become a difficult challenge due to the increasing and huge number of web services offering similar functionalities. When dynamic discovery is used in Web Services to select a specific service in optimal way, it is familiar that the outcome of the discovery contains more and supplementary than one provider. From...
Events give important information about the behavior of a system in a summarized form. In the past, events have played an important role in breaking the functional requirements of the system in the ??event partitioning approach??. Our previous work has shown that events can be a starting point in object-oriented analysis of requirements. Every event triggers a use case in the system, hence should...
This paper proposes a semantic pattern-based context-aware (SPBCA) middleware for ubiquitous computing environments. It introduces two concepts, the ontology and the proactive conversion, to solve the heterogeneity issues existing in the interaction process in the ubiquitous computing environments. Furthermore, it can support user-centric context awareness not only by automatic reactive information...
As scientific achievements in the area of Healthcare have evolved during the last decade, inevitably there has been an increase of treatment quality. One of the challenges to be confronted is the personalization of treatment since each patient constitutes a unique case. The personalization requires the continuous reconfiguration of the treatment schemes since the clinical status of each patient and...
The size of publicly indexable World Wide Web has probably surpassed 14.3 billion documents and as yet growth shows no sign of leveling off. As more information becomes available on the Web it is more difficult to provide effective search services for Internet users. Since, it is assumed that users do not always formulate search queries using the best terms. So, search engines invoke query expansion...
This paper presents a new theoretical data mining framework that adapts the existing data mining systems with the architecture of the Knowledge Grid, the mechanism of the ontologies, and the factor of the human-driven knowledge. Aiming at much of the research to date focusing on the technique and algorithms, the new framework describes the essential factors from systemic and technical viewpoints respectively...
