In this paper we address the problem of realizing a service-providing reasoning infrastructure for proactive human assistance in intelligent environments. We propose SAM, an architecture which leverages temporal knowledge represented as relations in Allen’s interval algebra and constraint-based temporal planning techniques. SAM seamlessly combines two key capabilities for contextualized service...

The Middleware for Embedded Adaptive Dependability (MEAD) infrastructure enhances large-scale distributed real-time embedded middleware applications with novel capabilities, including (i) transparent, yet tunable, fault tolerance in real time, (ii) proactive dependability, (iii) resource-aware system adaptation to crash, communication, partitioning and timing faults with (iv) scalable and fast ...

Data centers provides both the applications, systems software and the hardware as services over the Internet, which is named cloud computing [1–3]. It is core infrastructure of cloud computing, supporting dynamic deployment and elastic resource management. With the powerful computing and storing capabilities, cloud computing has become increasingly popular [4, 5]. The fundamental mechanism of c...

The creation and the use of knowledge have been regarded as important issues for management. A wide range of studies have investigated this topic during the last decade. Notwithstanding these contributions, little systematic attention has been paid to the linkages between knowledge capabilities and strategy implementation. Drawing from knowledge capabilities theory and strategy implementation l...

The health care industry is increasingly becoming a knowledge-based community that is connected to hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, and customers for sharing knowledge, reducing administrative costs and improving the quality of care. Thus, the success of health care depends critically on the collection, analysis and seamless exchange of clinical, billing, and utilization information or knowledge...

It has been widely discussed in the management information systems (MIS) literature that the outcomes of information technologies (IT) and systems may be subject to the influence of the characteristics of the organization, including those of the IT and business leadership. This study was conducted to examine the relationships that may exist between IT infrastructure capabilities (ITC), business...

Our work takes place in the context of the HLA standard and its application in real-time systems context. The HLA standard is inadequate for taking into consideration the different constraints involved in real-time computer systems. Many works have been invested in order to providing real-time capabilities to Run Time Infrastructures (RTI) to run real time simulation. Most of these initiatives ...

Operation Support Systems (OSSs) integrate software components and network elements to automate the provisioning and monitoring of telecommunications services. This demonstration illustrates Telcordia’s Cable OSS, and shows how customers may use this OSS to provision IP and telephone services over the cable infrastructure. Telcordia’s Cable OSSs is a process-based application, i.e., a collectio...
