The performance of a Web service is primarily dependent on the design and implementation of its SOAP toolkit. SOAP is widely implemented using HTTP as the transport protocol and XML as the data format. In earlier work we showed that the conversion of data types to ASCII format, required by XML, is a primary bottleneck when scientific data needs to be sent via SOAP. The conversion to ASCII forma...

BACKGROUND The temporal lobe in conjunction with the hippocampus is responsible for memory processing. The gamma wave is involved with this process. To develop a human brain protocol, a better understanding of the relationship between gamma and long-term memory is vital. OBJECTIVE A more comprehensive understanding of the human brain and specific analogue waves it uses will support the develo...

From its advent, computer science is facing language-based problems; as English is considered being the most widely used communication language. Arabic Scripted Languages (ASLs) including Urdu have been considered less in this aspect. To rectify this problem, it is decided to build up the idea of interface designing for Arabic Scripted Language (ASL). All the algorithms and methods are used to ...

In the application of telemedicine, ECG signal is transmitted to the Doctor end without any patient details. As a result, confusion is arisen between signal and patient’s identity. To avoid this confusion, ECG signals need to be combined with patient confidential information when sent. A typical ECG monitoring device generates massive volumes of digital data. Huge amount of bandwidth is require...

This study explores an alternative way of storing text files to answer exact match queries faster. We decompose the original file into two parts as filter and payload. The filter part contains the most informative k bits of each byte, and the remaining bits of the bytes are concatenated in the order of appearance to generate the payload. We refer to this structure as k-bit filtered format. When...

This paper presents the UP Kuchibue and UP Nakayosi databases containing on-line handwritten Japanese characters. These databases are the international versions of two databases, Kuchibue and Nakayosi, collected in the Nakagawa Laboratory at the University of Agriculture & Technology in Tokyo. They contain more than million characters written by Japanese writers. UP Kuchibue and UP Nakayosi are...

Zusammenfassung: Anhand eines konkreten Einsatzbeispieles (Vorlesungsverzeichnis SS '971 des Instituts für Informatik der Universität Leipzig) wird ein auf einer objektorientierten Datenbank und SGML basierendes System für elektronisches Publizieren vorgestellt. Unter Verwendung einer einfachen Substitutionssprache lassen sich Layout-Informationen für SGML-Dokumente kodieren, die in mehreren Fo...

Device Descriptions are necessary for the integration of intelligent field devices in commissioning & maintenance tools, engineering systems or MES / ERP systems. Device Descriptions comprise of device models and presentations based on the models (e.g. ASCII files). The XML concept may help to enlarge the application scope of Device Description because it is becoming one of the basic technologi...

We introduce a new incremental search method called Migemo for languages with many character faces. Migemo performs the incremental search by dynamically expanding the input pattern into a compact regular expression which represents all the possible words that match the input pattern. We show that Migemo is useful not only for searching texts in Japanese and other East Asian languages, but also...

We propose a method for constructing a vector for a document image to represent its content to facilitate text retrieval. The method is based on an N-Gram algorithm for text similarity measure based on the frequency of occurrence of n-character strings appearing in the electronic text. Instead of using ASCII values, the present study investigates the use of character images to obtain the docume...
