Database Component Ware

Database modeling is still a job of an artisan. Due to this approach database schemata evolve by growth without any evolution plan. Finally, they cannot be examined, surveyed, consistently extended or analyzed. Querying and maintenance become very difficult. Distribution of database fragments becomes a performance bottleneck. Currently, databases evolve to huge databases. Their development must...

Internet ware cloud computing: Challenges

After decades of engineering development and infrastructural investment, Internet connections have become commodity product in many countries, and Internet scale “cloud computing” has started to compete with traditional software business through its technological advantages and economy of scale. Cloud computing is a promising enabling technology of Internet ware Cloud Computing is termed as the...

Face and Eye-ware Classification using Geometric Features for a Data-driven Eye-ware Recommendation System

In this work we present an automatic shape extraction and classification method for face and eye-ware shapes. Our novel eye-ware shape extraction algorithm can extract the polygonal shape of eyeware accurately and reliably even for reflective sun-glasses and thin metal frames. Additionally, we identify key geometric features that can differentiate reliably the shape classes and we integrate the...

SOS-ware [Strategic Open Software] Perspectives

We review the characteristics of strategic software and we try to answer the question whether there can exist open software development that would be able to incorporate these characteristics. Based on this review, and on certain case studies, we present a theory, on how open software might be able to close the gaps in knowledge creation and usage or the reverse, ie. to become a vehicle for an ...
