Both brown (detrital-based) and green (algal-based) food pathways support freshwater webs, although the importance of either source may vary within species, regions different phases flow regime. The bony bream (Nematalosa erebi Clupeidae: Dorosomatinae) is one Australia’s most widely distributed fish species a key component especially in northern Australia. We sought to better define feeding ha...

It is shown that such diverse phenomena as accelerated Universe, consciousness and quantum entanglement are connected by the concept of distributed sources and imaginary (particularly, tachyon) fields. The singular vortices, sources (sinks) and vortex-sinks are well known models in fluid dynamics (including geophysical fluid dynamics), magnetized plasma, superfluidity and superconductivity (see...

In order to realise a truly distributed knowledge-based system not only the knowledge processing step has to be carried out in a distributed way, but also the knowledge acquisition step. This paper’s focus1 lies on the distributed knowledge sources of the SEASALT architecture [Reichle et al., 2009a] and their management and (optimised) querying using a Coordination Agent [Bach et al., 2008]. Wi...

The exponential growth of the web and the extended use of database management systems in widely distributed information systems has brought to the fore the need for seamless interconnection of diverse and large numbers of information sources. Our contribution is a system that provides a flexible approach for integrating and transparently querying multiple data sources, using a reference ontolog...

In the context of open environments like the Semantic Web, Peer2Peer systems, Multiagent Systems and Semantic Grids, knowledge-based applications with multiple heterogeneous and autonomous knowledge sources have recently gained increased interest. For autonomous sources, often neither the consistency nor the reliability or the definiteness of the input knowledge can be ensured. This is why ther...

This paper focuses on knowledge management for complex application domains using Collaborative Multi-Expert-Systems. We explain how different knowledge sources can be described and organised in order to be used in collaborative knowledge-based systems. We present the docQuery system and the application domain travel medicine to exemplify the knowledge modularisation and how the distributed know...

Complex Event Detection (CED) is emerging as a key capability for many monitoring applications such as intrusion detection, sensorbased activity & phenomena tracking, and network monitoring. Existing CED solutions commonly assume centralized availability and processing of all relevant events, and thus incur significant overhead in distributed settings. In this paper, we present and evaluate com...
