content-based image retrieval and text-based image retrieval are two fundamental approaches in the field of image retrieval. the challenges related to each of these approaches, guide the researchers to use combining approaches and semi-automatic retrieval using the user interaction in the retrieval cycle. hence, in this paper, an image retrieval system is introduced that provided two kind of qu...

Object-oriented techniques have been along the last decade one of the most useful programming paradigms. However, for distributed embedded systems the semantic gap between the object-orientation layer and the underlying infrastructure is extremely large. This gap can be narrowed, should the embedded system platform provide semantically rich communication and management services. This paper outl...

VDM++ is a formal Object Oriented Specification language, derived from VDM. lt extends VDM by providing object-orientation, real-time as well as paraUel features. The use of the language is supported by design guidelines and a too! set. The latter offers graphical representations, syntactic and semantic checking, pretty printing and code generation. ln this paper we address the handling of part...

We give a survey of concepts for system specification and design based on the viewpoint that a system is a community of objects. Objects are self-contained units of structure and behavior capable of operating independently and cooperating concurrently. Our approach integrates concepts from semantic data mod-eling and concurrent processes, adopting structuring principles partly developed in the ...

We introduce a simple opinion mining system for analyzing Japanese Weblog reviews called OMS-J. OMS-J is designed to provide an intuitive visual GUI of opinion mining graphs for a comparison of different products of the same type to help a user make a quick purchase decision. We first use an opinion mining method using a combination of supervised (a Naive Bayes Classifier) and unsupervised (an ...

Traceability is an important feature of workflow based systems, and is a key source of provenance data. This paper presents CRISTAL, a mature software platform developed and used at CERN for experiment construction at the LHC. It is entirely workflow based capturing provenance on every aspect of its use from application development to end-user interaction. In this paper we summarize some initia...

Current WordNet-based measures of distance or similarity focus almost exclusively on WordNet’s taxonomic relations. This effectively restricts their applicability to the syntactic categories of noun and verb. We investigate a graph-theoretic model of WordNet’s most important relation—synonymy—and propose measures that determine the semantic orientation of adjectives for three factors of subject...
