The internet of things is an evolving trend, connecting "things" to the internet, exchanging and collecting information about the surrounding environment. This is possible, by using different devices such as sensors and actuators feeding information that when connected together, enable to monitor and interact with the surrounding environment. Nowadays, there are many devices with different...
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a rapidly growing technology in recent years. It represents an extension of the Internet into the physical world embracing everyday objects. In consequence, users' privacy and security are becoming a great challenge. To cope with this issue, sophisticated approaches are needed to guarantee these services and hence ensure a large-scale adoption of IoT. In our work we...
SmartLife ecosystems are emerging as intelligent user-centered systems that will shape future trends in technology and communication. Biological metaphors of living adaptable ecosystems provide the logical foundation for self-optimizing and self-healing run-time environments for intelligent adaptable business services and related information systems with service-oriented enterprise architectures....
Safety-Critical systems, as used in the automotive, avionics, or aerospace domains, are becoming increasingly software-reliant to the extent that the system cannot function without the software. On one hand the software system provides an integrated set of functionality to operate the system and manage failure and unsafe conditions. Current best safety engineering practices, such as DO178B/C or SAE...
Reference architectures have emerged as a special type of software architecture that achieves well-recognized understanding of specific domains, promoting reuse of design expertise and facilitating the development, standardization, and evolution of software systems. Because of their advantages, several reference architectures have been proposed and have been also successfully used, including in the...
Nowadays, Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) might be treated as a state of the art approach to the design and implementation of enterprise software. Contemporary software developed according to SOA paradigm is a complex structure, often integrating various platforms, technologies, products and design patterns. Hence, it arises a problem of early evaluation of a software architecture to detect design...
In this paper we describe a distributed peer-to-peer agent architecture of context consumers and context providers. The objective of this architecture is to split the context reasoning problem into smaller parts in order to reduce the inference time. We describe how this inference sharing process works, partitioning the context information according to the interests of the agents, location and a certainty...
This work presents DGiovanni, an open source multi-agent architecture for building interactive dramas. The architecture has been developed in JAVA and uses the Jason's BDI engine, being the Jason's agent-oriented programming language utilized as the means for performing the drama management and for authoring the characters' behaviors. Additionally, it makes use of ontologies to support the creation...
The cloud architecture is critical for cloud computing. Too many challenges with respect to cloud architecture are emerging. We present cloud architecture learning methods through social architecture analysis since there are a lot of similarities between social service and cloud service. In this paper, we analyze the similarity of cloud service and social service firstly. Then the architecture management...
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has clinical effectives and characteristics in disease diagnosis and treatment, and Chinese Medical Formula and drug therapies. Some new computational techniques and information technologies are needed to manage these large repositories of TCM data and to discover useful patterns and knowledge from them. This study is aimed to present a framework of an ontology based...
The main objective of this paper is to provide a global decision-reaction architectural built on the requirements for a reaction after alert detection mechanisms in the frame of information systems security and more particularly applied to telecom infrastructures security. These infrastructures are distributed in nature, therefore the architecture is elaborated using the multi-agents system that provides...
Manufacturing Execution System (MES) links plan management and workshop control in an enterprise, which is an integrative management and control system of workshop production oriented to manufacturing process. The paper analyzes the function of MES software and the traditional software development flow as well as the defects of the traditional software development method. To overcome the difficulties...
In this paper, an architecture of exposing relational data source to the Semantic Web applications with SPARQL from the object-oriented perspective is discussed, which is efficient and suit for development. Some methods of building domain ontology with this architecture are also discussed. More importantly, a novel run-time SPARQL to HQL language translation algorithm named Faked RDF View Tree is...
The ability to match user's goals with service offers is the key to service discovery. In this paper we present an ontology-based architecture for service discovery. In our architecture, ontologies are used to give machine-understandable descriptions, and there is a central discovery platform acting as a mediator for requesters and providers. Service offers are described by abstract services, general...
The current draft revision of ISO/IEC 42010 (IEEE Std 1471) proposes a formalization of architecture framework within the ontology of the standard. This paper discusses the origin of the concept, motivates its standardization in ISO/IEC 42010, and argues that a well-defined architecture framework should be a key component of any architecture description. The paper describes the application of the...
An information system distinguishes itself from other software as it is developed to facilitate the operation of an organization, hence it reflects its strategies, plans, organizations, processes, marketing etc. We believe that the requirement in the form of domain knowledge acquired in the early stage of system development can be organized and modeled in Enterprise Architecture. However research...
In Distributed Virtual Environment, the number of data is very large. How to effectively manage and share these data was very important. Ontology is a philosophical concept originally. It can realize knowledge sharing and reusing. According to the character of ontology, a new data management framework ODMF was put forwarded in this paper. This framework was based on ontology and all data information...
The paper analyzes the function of MES software and the traditional software development flow as well as the defects of the traditional software development method. To overcome the difficulties of traditional software development method, component and ontology technology are applied in MES and the hierarchical architecture of MES based on component and driven by ontology is put forward to prompt development...
E-Learning has been a topic of increasing interest in recent years, effective E-Learning distributed environments should promote high cooperation. This paper proposes a novel E-Learning architecture along with an implementation approach to build efficient E-Learning applications. In this architecture, E-Learning infrastructure uses the Grid technology which chooses the best available resources for...
