Modern databases are crucial components of quality management systems according to the requirements of ISO 9001:2015, but their design and maintenance need significant resources. Despite the fact that modern databases are a key factor of management decision making, not all organizations can spend sufficient resources on their development what results in the necessity to find a model for database maintenance...
Hardware management and resource tracking is an important activity in maintaining labs at institute and offices. The resources are spread across various labs; some of the systems are at different location of the office. The monitoring of these systems is itself a tedious task. In this paper a ‘Resource Tracker’ methodology is proposed that provides a method to track remote resources by identifying...
The Structural and Biochemical Database (SBD), developed as part of the US NSF-funded Assembling the Fungal Tree of Life (AFTOL), is a multi-investigator project. It is a major resource to present and manage morphological and biochemical information on Fungi and serves as a phyloinformatics tool for the scientific community. It also is an important resource for teaching mycology. The database, available...
Multi-agent systems have been applied to integrate heterogeneous information, to work on the behalf of users and to provide decision support in challenging environments. As this technology continues to develop, the numbers of agents that comprise a system and their usage of computing resources are both likely to grow. Distributed agent platforms such as JADE (Java Agent Development framework) provide...
In this paper, an implementation of a Resource Directory, a directory storing descriptions of resources available in an Internet of Things system, based on a native XML database is described. Its performance is compared with performance of a Resource Directory with the same functionality, but implemented using a relational, SQL database. The evaluation results show hat the XML based Resource Directory...
AI Planning typically deals with the causal relations between the actions while the role of explicit time and limited resources is suppressed. The recent trends show that integrating time and resource reasoning into planning significantly improves direct applicability of planning technology in real-life problems. In this paper we propose a suboptimal domain-independent planning system Filuta that...
Rural educational resource regional service platform is service-oriented, providing personalized service to users anywhere who participate in distance education. Users can acquire resources based on their interests, achieving to share educational resources in the maximum extent. The paper first briefly analyses the mode, the present situation and the characteristics of rural education, then puts forward...
Hierarchical structures of concepts are vital for theory development. However, although resources are at the heart of competitive advantage and performance of an entrepreneurial firm, the hierarchical conceptualisations of resources are scant in academic research. We used an existing resource categorisation framework and populated a list of resources explicitly mentioned in extant literature. The...
