The increasing use of online social networks (OSNs) in emergency situations shows us a promising future of human cooperation through OSNs. Despite this intense interest, a number of fundamental limitations still exist, such as lack of appropriate conceptual models and limitations on cooperation methods and shareable resources. To address existing limitations, we propose Whistle - a cooperation framework...
The emerging of new Information and Communications Technologies (ICT), the aging population and the increased number of people suffering from chronic diseases are changing the health structure of developed countries. Given this situation, it is crucial that research based on demographics data is promoted and researchers can access large amounts of patient data, having this information validated by...
With larger numbers of older people living longer, an increasing proportion of the population will require a more supportive and responsive regional city environment. However, regional local governments have neither the resources nor the appropriate tools needed to understand and respond to the infrastructure needs of older persons. As mobile devices such as tablets and phones proliferate, there is...
The focus of this project is to facilitate program evaluation by creating a database that captures data about incidents, offenders, and offenses across the entire criminal justice system, while complying with national justice information sharing standards and maintaining individual stakeholders' legacy data systems. Current systems support individual functions and were not designed for cross-functional...
Every major open-source and commercial RDBMS offers some form of support for full-text search using inverted indexes. When providing this support, some developers have implemented specialized indexes that adapt techniques from the Information Retrieval (IR) community to work in a database setting, while others have opted to rely on the standard relational query engine to process inverted index lookups...
Quasi-biclique mining for bipartite graphs has found important applications in providing security services. However, the standard MapReduce algorithm for mining quasi-bicliques does not scale well due to the need of shuffling and reducing a huge number of map outputs. To cope with web-scale graphs, we propose a scalable algorithm with the use of Giraph, which is a new rising large-scale graph processing...
Quality education is a universal goal. This decade was marked by rapid advances and changes in many aspects of human activity, often taken together as the sign of a shift into knowledge era. Such advances and changes have stimulated many discussions about the role of information technology (IT) in teaching and learning. Given the deep technological, economic and policy changes that have taken place...
While existing resource management software systems each have distinct and advanced capabilities, the way in which a user submits a basic job is generally similar across resource management systems. Recognizing this, the HPC profile working group in the open grid forum (OGF) has recently created a set of standards to define a common Web-services-based interface to resource management systems, thereby...
