This thesis presents selected works investigating the relation between leadership and morals. Given the multitude of moral challenges and the grave consequences of moral transgressions in military operations, we have chosen a military context to frame our research. Transformational leadership and the full range of leadership model (FRLM) are key constructs in this investigation, as this leaders...

This paper harmonizes semantic web services and mashups by leveraging semantics in Schemas, and by generating aligned ontologies from mappings between schemas. Hence, we propose to encode the import of schemas and their mappings in HTML, which when combined with JavaScript libraries enable a web user to write mashups while hiding coding complexities and promoting reuse of schemas. These Web pag...

Anxiety is a painful feeling that depends on a current traumatic situation or an expected threat that its origin is unknown. State anxiety is a transitory emotional state and trait anxiety refers to individual readiness for anxiety that is relatively stable. Besides, cognitive therapists believe that schemas are central for developing and maintaining the chronic forms of trauma, such as persona...

In XML Schema development, the quality of XML Schemas is a crucial issue for further steps in the life cycle of an application, closely correlated with the structure of XML Schemas and different building blocks. Current research focuses on measuring complexity of XML Schemas and mainly do not consider other quality aspects. This paper proposes a novel quality measuring approach, based on existi...

One of the key challenges in the development of open distributed systems is enabling the exchange of meaningful information across applications which (i) may use autonomously developed schemas for organizing locally available data, and (ii) need to discover relations between schemas to achieve their users’ goals. Typical examples are databases using different schemas, and document repositories ...
