This paper presents an overview of the application of design science research to the tactical management of forensic evidence processing. The opening discussion addresses the application of design science techniques to specific socio-technical information systems research in regard to processing forensic evidence. The discussion then presents the current problems faced by those dealing with evi...

This paper deals with the approximate merging problem of multiple adjacent Bézier curves with different degrees by a single Bézier curve, which is a frequently seen problem in modeling. The unified matrix representation for precise merging is presented and the approximate merging curve is further derived based on matrix operation. Continuity at the endpoints of curves is also discussed in the m...

It will be shown that the umbrella term “nanotechnology” reveals the endeavor of recent engineering sciences and science-based technologies to find a fundamental technology, in other words: a root or core technology. This is linked to the leading and exciting vision of a specific kind of reductionism, namely technological reductionism, which has not yet been perceived by the philosophy of scien...

Operation of autonomic communication network with complicated user-oriented functions should be described as unreduced many-body interaction process. The latter gives rise to complex-dynamic behaviour including fractally structured hierarchy of chaotically changing realisations. We recall the main results of the universal science of complexity based on the unreduced interaction problem solution...

Imputation is one of the most common methods to reduce item non_response effects. Imputation results in a complete data set, and then it is possible to use naϊve estimators. After using most of common imputation methods, mean and total (imputation estimators) are still unbiased. However their variances (imputation variances) are underestimated by naϊve variance estimators. Sampling mechanism an...

Employing the notions of the strong $L$-topology introduced by Zhangand the $L$-frame introduced by Yao  and the concept of $L$-enrichedtopological system defined in the present paper, we constructadjunctions among the categories {bf St$L$-Top} of strong$L$-topological spaces, {bf S$L$-Loc} of strict $L$-locales and{bf $L$-EnTopSys} of $L$-enriched topological systems. All of theseconcepts are ...

This paper proposes an ontology of Organizational Memory (OM) that can guide its design, construction, evolution and evaluation. The upper level of the ontology is described using the generalized concept of Structural Memory (SM), which is a framework of types (e.g., Organizational Memory and Individual Memory) and components (contents and means) that enable the management of know-how . We demo...

As more RDF streaming applications are being developed, there is a growing need for an efficient mechanism for storing and performing inference over these streams. In this poster, we present a tool that stores these streams in a unified model by combining memory and disk based mechanisms. We explore various memory management algorithms and disk-persistence strategies to optimize query performan...

Understanding the intricacies behind concurrency within object-oriented programming languages has always been a challenge for undergraduate students. This is particularly true since both are complex issues in their own rights. Visualisation, when used adequately, can be of tremendous assistance in expediting comprehension of such complex issues. The aim of this paper is to discuss the potential...
