Visualization tools make it easier for users to observe the status of the wireless sensor networks (WSNs). So far, developers of WSNs have created various visualization tools under certain project/research backgrounds. These tools, however, are limited in certain application scenarios, since the underlying packet formats are hard coded into the programs. For this purpose, we present NetViewer, a universal...
The programmable network envisioned in the late 1990s within standardization and research for the Intelligent Network is taking another attempt to come into reality using IP-based Next Generation Networks (NGN) and Application Programming Interfaces (API) for open developer access. Adopting technical concepts of providing high-level APIs for open service access from the Internet and World Wide Web...
Web 2.0 has been happening on the fixed Internet side for several years already. This phenomenon has forced traditional Telco operators to consider new business models. One of the possible models is to utilize the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) network architecture. Using the IMS, Telco operators have more control over the data instead of becoming just bit pipes. In addition, operators interest in...
Recently Web API (Application Programming Interface) is widely utilized for the service interfaces in enterprise applications. In this article, the possibility of applying Web API to electronic commerce, especially to EDI (Electronic Data Interchange), is discussed. We propose architecture called “Open EDI” as a platform for such activities. And the notation of “Cloud_Object” is introduced that is...
This paper presents the results of an experimental study of some similarity measures used for both Information Retrieval and Document Clustering. Our results indicate that the cosine similarity measure is superior than the other measures such as Jaccard measure, Euclidean measure that we tested. Cosine Similarity measure is particularly better for text documents. Previously these measures are compared...
Technology to build WEB GIS has variety, but most of them are based on a common GIS platform, the architecture complex and can not be a good achievement for the power industry needs. In this paper, a new method to build Web GIS, which is based on Oracle MapViewer, is discussed. Oracle MapViewer- based Web GIS, which has simple structure, uses Oracle Spatial to manage spatial data, and provides JavaScript...
Information visualisation techniques have sometimes been slow to diffuse into more widespread public use. Recent advances in cloud computing have opened up opportunities to bring information visualisation to the masses in ways previously not possible. Liquid diagrams are a suite of information visualisation gadgets written in Flex, which visualise live data contained in Google Docs spreadsheets through...
Village folk-custom tourism businesses, whose units are single families, are often smaller scale. This scattered distributed characteristic requires a suitable e-commerce platform to display tourism resources and promote the information exchange between tourists and businesses. However, current multimedia technologies in the development of folkcustom tourism e-commerce system do not directly integrate...
Google Map is widely used as a platform for a number of applications because of providing the public satellite maps all over the world, but it is hard for user to add vivid interactive applications on website based on Google Map (GM). The reason is that GM can not provide many features of API while allows the application to mix its content with it before. In order to interact with GM instantly and...
Web mashups are applications that combine data from various sources and present it to users in an integrated way. This paper investigates potential sources of time- and location-related data, the procedures used for obtaining this data and how this data can be represented on a map and a timeline so that these representations are linked. The outcome is full integration of all these components into...
In the field of eTourism, it is important to present prominent objects of tourists destinations. Nowadays demand for eTourism applications is rising and the customers need rapid software development. Google Maps API is a technology provided by Google based on AJAX, which powers many map-based services. This paper presents an expert system for tourists. The realized software uses free, public API service...
The paper contributes a solution for creating and editing mathematical formula, graphics and geometry object for Web-based application of e-Science. The solution includes two useful program packages: MathEdit, a Web-based WYSIWYG mathematical expression editor, and GeometryEditor, a Web-based interactive tool for drawing geometry graphics. The two Web-based tools, both developed by JavaScript and...
The following topics are dealt with: music video; Internet; mobile radio; XML; cloud computing; World Wide Web; multimedia; educational courses; information management; software application program interfaces; project knowledge management; information quality; visual design; engineering communication teaching; Web sites; and manufacturing industry.
How to use the information resources is a very important part of graduate education. Meanwhile digital libraries can provide instructors and students with a repository of digital resources that have been peer reviewed and checked for accuracy and authenticity. We take the knowledge maps as a tool to combine the digital resources and the e-Learning environment. Knowledge maps can integrate the related...
Many issues need to be resolved before applying biometrics technology to the national network. Most importantly, it should be implemented with a standard interface so that interoperability can be guaranteed. Based on this requirement, infrastructure with a well-established model should be developed. The model is proposed by arranging models suitable for use in the national infrastructure establishment...
vBullletin Calendar API is built on calendar feature of vBulletin, a commercial Internet forum software produced by Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd. It acts as a remote agent for client applications intended to be developed by third party software developers. Such applications can be Facebook application, desktop application, IRC-bot and mobile applications for instant event notification and reminder. Important...
OLAP (Online Analysis Processing) applications have very special requirements to the underlying multidimensional data that differs significantly from other areas of application (e.g. the existence of highly structured dimensions). In addition, providing access and search among multiple, heterogeneous, distributed and autonomous data warehouses, especially web warehouses, has become one of the leading...
Mashups - Web applications that integrate multiple data sources or APIs into one interface - have attracted considerable attention in recent years. The availability of Web-based APIs and a growing array of XML data feeds has enabled this novel approach to Web applications. However, due to the relatively advanced programming languages needed to integrate the Web APIs and data feeds, mashup development...
In recent years, 3D virtual reality technology has been growing fast. The user interface of the Internet is facing a new challenge. Many organizations have begun to propose various kinds of specifications and standards for Web3D. The specification draft of VRML1.0 was proposed in 1994. In 2000, Java3D, Extensible 3D (X3D) and MPEG-4 Binary Format for Scene (BIFS) were formally included as important...
With the saturation of existing intelligent network services, it is becoming increasingly difficult to develop new profitable services. The current trend seems to be moving toward the convergence of traditional telephone networks with the Internet. The capabilities of Internet terminals, such as PCs, are more powerful than those of traditional terminals for telephone networks, particularly in terms...
