The long lifecycles of many scientific applications tend to surpass multiple generations of Grid technologies opening an increasing gap developers need to bridge. Therefore automatic adaptation and migration of existing software to newer environments remains a vital research field. Most existing state-of-the-art solutions are middleware services that execute programs based on user-provided prog...

Recent advances in networking and sensor technologies allow various physical world objects connected to form the Internet of Things (IOT). As more sensor networks are being deployed in agriculture today, there is a vision of integrating different agriculture IT system into the agriculture IOT. The key challenge of such integration is how to deal with semantic heterogeneity of multiple informati...

Role/Viewpoint of panelist or organization The Smart Manufacturing Leadership Coalition (SMLC) is a non-profit organization comprised of manufacturing practitioners, suppliers and technology companies; manufacturing consortia; universities; government agencies, laboratories and regional consortia committed to improving U.S. manufacturing competitiveness through the comprehensive adoption of Sma...

Creating a cost-effective large-scale multi-tier Enterprise service requires judicious selection and configuration of infrastructure elements and mechanisms. The minimum cost solution that satisfies business requirements for service availability and performance should be identified. Emerging self-managed computing utility environments demand an automated solution to this problem. This solution ...

Requirement engineering plays an important role in producing quality software products. In recent past years, some approaches of requirement framework have been designed to provide an endto-end solution for system development life cycle. Textual requirements specifications are difficult to learn, design, understand, review, and maintain whereas pictorial modelling is widely recognized as an eff...

The Semantic Web aims at evolving the ‘web of data’ to an ‘intelligent information space’ which is responsive to both human beings and computer systems. Consequently, semantic technologies have emerged in many application fields, primarily to provide intelligent IT systems. Semantics, therefore, is considered to be the essence of systemic intelligence. In this paper, we introduce a lifecycle mo...

The article describes the ways of industrial development in era transition from a linear model economy to circular model, as well new trends logistics. It shows interconnection processes production systems, logistics and services, their role ensuring sustainable green growth. is shown that by closing loop product lifecycles, reverse plays an important transitioning economy. presents example pla...

In recent decades, we have come to understand in great detail the mechanisms that allow plants and herbivorous arthropods withstand each other. Research into these interactions often focuses on specific life stages of animals, for pragmatic reasons. Yet it is well known lifecycles herbivores are accompanied by niche shifts can change their interactions. The occurrence changes defensive regulato...
