This paper describes an RDF data model for repositories concerned with managing various aspects of the life cycle of research outputs, such as articles, data sets or learning objects. Using the figshare application as a use-case and starting from its relational model, it proposes a new mechanism for storing, enhancing and disseminating metadata, using workflows specific to the linked data ecosystem,...
With the increased complexity of low-end devices in the Internet of Things (IoT), mainly due to the connectivity and interoperability requirements, the development and configuration of embedded operating systems (OSes) for such devices is not straight forward. The complexity of the communication requirements is usually mitigated by the OS, e.g., the Contiki-OS, as it already incorporates an IoT-compliant...
Due to the growing size of compute clusters, large scale parallel applications increasingly have to deal with hardware malfunctions and other failure scenarios during execution. The overall goal of this research is to get good performance of MapReduce applications despite failures. The paper focuses on evaluation of the performance of two representative Hadoop MapReduce applications, 'WordCount' and...
This paper describes an innovative software interface design in support of signal-oriented test programming. The design makes use of modern Domain Specific Language (DSL) concepts and advanced C# language features to create an interface with excellent usability features and low implementation overhead. The interface is proposed as a more usable alternative to the Test Procedure Language (TPL) specified...
This work proposes an efficient method for the data pre-processing step of the information cycle. The method considers the open domain news feeds as data source. We try to handle the issue of open domain news data becoming unmanageably huge by designing a hybrid schema. The schema consists of two fold processing. One sifting and other filtering, both at logical levels. The data feeds are subjected...
The Hadith is one of the two sources of Islamic law after the Qur'an. It is a fact that there are a number of false hadith, recognised by Muslim scholars since the end of the first century of Hijra, and even earlier. In addition to the breadth of false hadith circulating among the public at this time, it is difficult to determine the source of authenticity and distinguish false from genuine. This...
In this paper, the design and implementation of European Broadcasting Union Timed Text part ‘D’ (EBU-TT-D) subtitles interpreter, based on eXtensible Markup Language (XML), is presented. The design is realized using web technologies HyperText Markup Language (HTML), Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), while implementation is performed with JavaScript programming language, which allows its easy integration...
Model-Oriented Web Services (MOWS) are a specific kind of Web Services (WS) that employ models for artifacts, including data transmission. They foster reuse due to its higher abstraction levels, and allow to visualize the data as models that represent a common language. However, it is important to study possible disadvantages when compared to traditional WS systems. Therefore, in this paper, we present...
Executing software processes in the cloud can bring several benefits to software development. In this paper, we discuss the benefits and considerations of cloud-based software processes. EXE-SPEM is our extension of the Software and Systems Process Engineering (SPEM2.0) Meta-model to support creating cloud-based executable software process models. Since SPEM2.0 is a visual modelling language, we introduce...
Curriculum design and implementation in higher medical education can be a great challenge. Although there are well-defined standards, such as the Curriculum Inventory and Competency Framework by MedBiquitous Consortium, existing systems are incapable of a visual representation of the various components, attributes, and relations. In this paper, we present the MEDCIN platform, a pilot tool which uses...
An intelligent condition based monitoring system needs to have a communication subsystem for consensus among the devices of that system. Development of such a communication system has to follow an industry oriented universally acceptable standard protocol. Having universal acceptability, MTConnect is potentially most effective, efficient and sustainable protocol for this purpose. This paper presents...
This paper presents a novel methodology to exchange schematic and simulation information between Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools. The schematic, symbol, model and simulation settings are described using standard extensible markup language (XML) format proposed first time in this paper. The standardization process is discussed and algorithm to generate the standard XML format is described...
This paper presents ongoing work on a decision aiding software intended to support cyber risks and cyber threats analysis of an information and communications technological infrastructure. The software will help corporations Chief Information Security Officers on cyber security risk analysis, decision-making, prevention measures and risk strategies for the infrastructure and information assets protection.
Good software technologies exist to make application integration less programmatically complex while at the same time for little to no licensing cost. This industry paper will explore the software technology choices and implications for small and mid-sized businesses.
JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) is a syntax for exchanging and storing data, the text data is converted in Object form and processed. The consistency and data integrity are the big challenges of payload delivery. In general, a message digest which is a cryptographic one way hash function containing a set of digits is used to protect the integrity of a data. The message digest is attached with the...
The need to apply complex algorithms on large volumes of data is boosting the development of technological solutions able to satisfy big data analytics needs in Cloud and HPC environments. In this context Ophidia represents a big data analytics framework for eScience offering a cross-domain solution for managing scientific, multi-dimensional data. It also exploits an in-memory-based distributed data...
Cooperative Intelligent Transportation Systems (C-ITS) are gaining ground and are almost part of our everyday life. Within these environments, huge amounts of messages are exchanged. Besides, these messages should be secure in order to ensure users' privacy. Public Key Infrastructures (PKI) represent the most common security solution. Due to the vehicles speed, the communication with the PKI should...
In this paper, we describe our experiment and demonstration in applying Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) to mobile nodes in the tactical domain. Our scenario encompasses two convoys that exchange information using NATO standards in order to achieve Friendly Force Tracking between different nations. NATO has identified the WS-Notification standard for the publish/subscribe pattern, so we use that...
This paper presents a study for generate digital business reporting using the language XBRL (Extensible Business Reporting Language) and its applicability in Ecuador. XBRL is a common language for the exchange of financial information, a specialized version based on XML. This standard has been implemented in Europe, USA, Canada, Oceania, Asia and some countries in Latin America, Ecuador have not adopted...
The UAV intelligence support mode is studied in the article in order to improve the ability of intelligence support in the battlefield. Three kinds of UAV intelligence distribution mode are put forward and their advantages and disadvantages are analyzed. The UAV intelligence sharing mode based on existing battlefield network is proposed which could contact all intelligence processing system, command...
