NLPFARM is an Open Source code repository for development and sharing of language technology resources. NLPFARM hosts a number of projects covering various language technology needs, providing possibilities to develop more robust and well-formed applications. NLPFARM has been in use for more than a year and our experience is that it has facilitated co-operation and sharing of resources but that...

This paper will discuss about the system structure and system design philosophy for the large scale control systems. The design philosophy, the main theme of this article, is "load distribution and resource sharing", but also the following items will be discussed: three level hierarchy control system philosophy; coupling and optimal load sharing among SCC/DDC computers; sharing of the process r...

Taking into account of the difficulties in improving utilization efficiency of the larger-scale and expensive research education resources, distributed in national universities, an education resources sharing grid based on network was investigated and developed. The grid architecture, sharing mechanism and framework that address these problems by defining a resource selection service for locati...

The Internet provides a medium for sharing innovative educational resources globally. School districts and teacher organizations have already begun to post curriculum ideas on Internet servers. However, just storing unrelated educational materials on the Internet does not by itself solve the problem. It is too hard to find the right resources to meet specific needs. Teachers need productivity s...

| Code division multiplexing or multiple access techniques provide a method of isolating multiuser transmissions in a non-orthogonal fashion. The communication resources are shared dynamically between users. In networks with bursty traac having a large numbers of subscribers, each having very low duty cycles, non-orthogonal channeliza-tion enables active users to exploit the shared portion of s...

Domain ontologies are now commonly used to enable heterogeneous information resources, such as knowledge-based systems, to communicate with each other. In this article, we present a classification of ontological mismatches, which represent various ways in which knowledge sharing can be impeded by different decisions made by the developers of different resources. We address some of the ways in w...

Business process elicitation requires high human and financial resources, often only affordable to large organizations. We observed that many business processes are modeled redundantly consuming a lot of money and resources. Collecting, sharing, and re-using process models overcome this problem. Libraries in the real world are a good example of sharing resources among many members reducing the ...

Grid and peer-to-peer computing are becoming pervasive. Every night personal computers are sharing files, cracking encryption codes and searching for aliens. Wireless devices and users will join the grid, changing grid infrastructure requirements. Smaller, wireless communication devices offer exceptional promise but also create known and unknown problems. A wireless grid promises to enhance the...

Language technologies and the associated language resources necessary to develop them are needed in a number of applications in the public security sector, and there is a growing demand for such applications. The paper illustrates the scope and importance of the needs by presenting various examples of applications along with the corresponding language technologies and language resources. Howeve...

The manual curation of the information in biomedical resources is an expensive task. This article argues the value of this approach in comparison with other apparently less costly options, such as automated annotation or text-mining, then discusses ways in which databases can make cost savings by sharing infrastructure and tool development. Sharing curation effort is a model already being adopt...
