Web services are not the only application requiring ontology matching and mediation. Agent communication, peer-to-peer systems, etc. also need to find relationships between ontologies. However, they do not necessarily require the same kind of mediation as web services. In order to maximise the utility of the semantic web infrastructure, it seems reasonable to share the mediation services among ...

The study analyzed farm households’ access and utilization of government health facilities in Kogi State, Nigeria. Specifically, it described the socioeconomic characteristics of farm households, determined the level of accessibility to health facilities by farm households, and determined the factors that drive farm households’ utilization of government health facilities. A two staged random sa...

The demands on metropolitan wireless networks is likely to change dramatically over the coming years due to the emergence of new applications and devices. The network infrastructure will need to adapt to meet these changing demands. In order to design the future infrastructure, we must first understand these workload trends and the applications that create them. In this white paper, we focus on...

This paper discusses the requirements of current and emerging large-scale distributed applications and emphasizes the need for a common infrastructure to support them. A design for an infrastructure that aims at satisfying these requirements is presented. Moreover, it is shown how key aspects of important large-scale applications can exploit the services included in the proposed infrastructure....

Many real-world KDD (Knowledge Discovery & Data Mining) applications involve the navigation of large volumes of information on the web, such as, Internet resources, hot topics, and telecom phone switches. Quite often users feel lost, confused, and overwhelmed with displays that contain too much information. This paper discusses a new content-driven visual mining infrastructure called VisMine, t...

Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is one of the primary weapons in the Department of Defense’s (DoD) “defense in depth” information assurance strategy, and will be used to sign all DoD e-mail messages by October 2003. PKI uses asymmetric “public” and “private” keys to sign and/or encrypt e-mail messages and other information. The effect of this additional workload on the existing network and serv...

Book is one of the trusted sources to get. You can find so many books that we share here in this website. And now, we show you one of the best, the cloud application architectures building applications and infrastructu...

This paper presents our ongoing research on the potentials of ubiquitous technologies for future workspaces. The Sm@rtLibrary serves as a test and demonstration environment for ubiquitous technologies and their application. In this area we are currently concentrating on localization and location management technologies, context-dependent services, platform and device independent access to the s...

Dynamic analysis of state-based properties is being applied to problems such as validation, intrusion detection, and program steering and reconfiguration. Dynamic analysis of such properties, however, is used rarely in practice due to its associated run-time overhead that causes multiple orders of magnitude slowdown of program execution. In this paper, we present an approach for exploiting the ...
