This paper describes an architecture of the source retrieval system used at PAN 2014 lab on uncovering plagiarism, authorship, and social software misuse. The system is based on the systems used in past years at PAN 13 [6] and PAN 12 [5]. The majority of features were adapted with some improvements described in this paper. The source retrieval subsystem forms an integral part of a modern system...

The Web of Needs (WoN) is an approach for expressing and publishing human needs on the Internet as linked data to allow automatic matching of the expressed needs and communication between users who expressed them. In this paper we summarize the processes realized by the different architectural components and explain the decision to use a linked data based messaging subsystem. CCS Concepts •Info...

Reliability optimization problem has a wide application in engineering area. One of the most important problems in reliability is redundancy allocation problem (RAP). In this research, we worked on a RAP with repairable components and k-out-of-n sub-systems structure. The objective function was to maximize system reliability under cost and weight constraints. The aim was determining optimal com...

The nature of electro-optical equipment in various industries and the pursuit of the goal of reducing costs demand high reliability on the part of electro-optical systems. In this respect, reliability improvement could be addressed through a reliability allocation problem. Subsystem reliability must be increased such that the requirements as well as defined requisite functions are ensured in ac...

How does major policy change come about? This article identifies and rectifies weaknesses in the conceptualization of innovative policy change in the Advocacy Coalition Framework. In a case study of policy belief change preceding an innovative reform in the German subsystem of old-age security, important new aspects of major policy change are carved out. In particular, the analysis traces a tra...
