In the context of component-based systems, coordination can be thought of as an event-based service provided by a coordination medium. However, this interpretation is not endorsed by some researches in the field of coordination and in particular by existing attempts to define a notion of expressiveness for coordination models. So, in this paper we elaborate on providing a new characterisation o...

A new event-based feedforward control method for drug delivery system is presented. Compared with the traditional time-based feedback control, the proposed method shows great potential in dealing with measurement noise and unexpected disturbances. Instead of using time to drive the planner, we determine the reference trajectory with an intelligent event, which is directly derived from measureme...

Today’s organisations require techniques for automated transformation of their large data volumes into operational knowledge. This requirement may be addressed by employing event recognition systems that detect events/activities of special significance within an organisation, given streams of ‘low-level’ information that is very difficult to be utilised by humans. Consider, for example, the rec...

Understanding performance and related issues in a complex system requires analyzing where and why the program spends its resources. In a reactive system such as a interactive application or a server, it is important for understanding that one be able to associate resource usage with the events, be they user actions or client requests, that triggered the corresponding execution. As part of our s...

Most approaches to extractive summarization define a set of features upon which selection of sentences is based, using algorithms independent of the features themselves. We propose a new set of features based on low-level, atomic events that describe relationships between important actors in a document or set of documents. We investigate the effect this new feature has on extractive summarizati...

Abstract Event-based rainfall-runoff models are practical tools commonly used to predict catchments’ response a rainfall event. However, one of the main concerns is that characteristics rain events neglected in model development. This paper develops novel event-based equation incorporate into account. The performance new evaluated based on root mean square error, Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency coeff...
