We tried an experiment in ISWC 2016, Kobe, as a practical example of data integration of sensor data through IoT devices and semantic information. We provided small GPS devices to some volunteers from participants of ISWC 2016 and collected trajectory data during the conference. Then, we integrated the data with Points of Interest (POI) information collected through existing open data such as o...

Automobiles are required to be even lighter for further achieving environmental protection through fuel economy improvement, as well as safety feature enhancement and drivability improvement. Automotive suspensions are also required to reduce their weight and thus more aluminum is being adopted. Aluminum forgings, in particular, are often applied because of their significant weight reduction ef...

health consequences and the response to the Great Hanshin-Awaji (Kobe) earthquake, which struck on January 17,1995, at 5:46 a.m., at an epicenter about 15 km to the south west of Kobe city in western Japan (Figure 1). Since Japan lies on the intersection of four tectonic plates, it has been hit by a number of earthquakes throughout its history (Table 1). The Great Hanshin-Awaji earthquake -of m...
