This report presents Web2Touch 2017, a Track at the 26th IEEE WETICE Conference. This year Web2Touch completed 10 editions focusing on scientific and practical works about semantic web as a support for collaborative platforms in their need for sharing knowledge. Web2Touch is an open forum for studies in multiple application domains including, for example, web science, health systems, collaborative...
The goal of SSTM'17 was to attract young researchers, Ph.D. students, practitioners, and industry experts to bring contributions in the area of Security, Safety and Trust Management, especially in the developments of computing, management and programming models, technologies, framework and middleware
This track started in 2009 with opening remarks from the Chair observing that the computing cloud evolution depends on research efforts from the infrastructure providers creating next generation hardware that is service friendly, service developers that embed business service intelligence in the computing infrastructure to create distributed business workflow execution services and service providers...
Knowledge mobility is more challenging in service innovation networks due to the nature of intangibility and co-development of service innovation. A central question is how to govern knowledge mobility for service innovation performance in such innovation networks. Given the inconsistent findings, more comprehensive research is needed to uncover the effects of contract-based and relation-based governance...
In the past decade, market pressures and decreasing U.S. federal budgets for science and technology have led to a fundamental change in expectations for corporate investments in innovation. The trend to significant, sustained corporate research collaboration with major academic centers has called for rethinking the balance between academic and corporate roles in these relationships. The Georgia Institute...
This paper describes the underlying theory and ongoing development of a general-purpose collaborative system. Rooted in the critical literary theories of Barthes and Bakhtin, the dialogic web provides a potential solution to problems of collaboration in knowledge-intensive environments.
Recent real-world attacks against Certification Authorities (CAs) and fraudulently issued certificates arouse the public to rethink the security of public key infrastructure for web-based connections. To distribute the trust of CAs, notaries, as an independent party, are introduced to record certificates, and a client can request an audit proof of certificates from notaries directly. However, there...
Event-based Social Networks (EBSNs) which bridge the gap between online and offline interactions among users have received increasing popularity. The unique cold-start nature makes event recommendation more challenging than traditional recommendation problems, since even for two events with the same content, they may not happen at the same time, the same location, or be organized by the same host...
Growing attention is being paid to the use of game-based learning in education, due to the rapid progress of information technology Internet. Students need to cultivate not only their own abilities, but also the ability of collaboration after graduation. However, collaboration must be directed by appropriate guidance in order to demonstrate the expected results, the rules of the game guide can be...
In shared autonomy, a robot and human user both have some level of control in order to achieve a shared goal. Choosing the balance of control given to the user and the robot can be a challenging problem since different users have different preferences and vary in skill levels when operating a robot. We propose using a novel formulation of Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (POMDP) to represent...
The purpose of this study was to explore China's supply chain integration developing process. We investigated integrative practice of China in recently 10 years. Separate three time periods, and explore evolution of integrative practice. Based on explorative results, further identify for China's supply chain integration developing process. The taxonomy approach is mainly methodology in this study.
Today, technology is enabling change in most of our lives. Also, crucial for most of these changes, are software startups whose contributions have led to the creation of a global market, jobs, and some help in fighting the "brain drain" pertaining in most developing countries. However, there is not enough academic literature to guide practitioners on how to leverage the collaborative potentials...
This paper summarises some of the best practices learned from an extended software engineering project completed through a collaboration of multidisciplinary faculty and several teams of computer science students. The collaboration delivered an advanced multimedia note-taking application, as an open educational resource (OER), capable of supporting both students and research into note-making practices...
In order for the conduct of collaborative research projects and their outcomes to be valuable for both research and practice it is necessary to successfully address a number of socio-technical challenges in the field of software engineering. Collaborative research involving researchers and practitioners related to software systems have utilised a variety of different research approaches. Adoption...
With the rise of smart and autonomous systems, self-adaptation plays a significant role in the capabilities of software-intensive systems. When developing and operating self-adaptive systems, a growing amount of information is required. This information forms the basis to systems' evolution and adaptation at run time, but is also used at design time to evolve and maintain the systems. To support development...
We herein tackled concurrent design of machines layout and automated guided vehicle (AGV) planning in a workshop, and proposed a co-evolutionary framework for the whole design with tandem AGVs system. Our objective is to reduce the material transporting costs in the manufacturing process and realize the flexible reconfigurable. Firstly, we divide the whole workshop into several regions (or groups),...
Real-time collaborative programming allows programmers to concurrently edit shared source code over communication networks. To support semantic conflict prevention, prior work has proposed a bask dependency-based automatic locking (DAL) approach to automatically grant locks on source code regions with dependency relationships, under the assumptions that there exists no locking-scope overlapping among...
Software architecting is about making decisions that have system-wide impact and that shape software product and process alike. While researchers and practitioners have tried to define and scope the role of the architect, social and organizational impacts on the architect and the architecting process are often neglected. The SODA workshop focuses on the social and organizational dimensions in which...
Software architecture has many definitions. One widely accepted definition of software architecture is that it is a composition of a set of architectural design decisions. Hence, designing a software architecture is a decision-making process. Agile methods drastically changed the way of designing a software architecture. In projects using agile methods (e.g. Scrum), making architectural design decisions...
