Understanding metadata written in natural language is a premise to successful automated integration of large scale, language-rich, classifications such as the ones used in digital libraries. We analyze the natural language labels within classification by exploring their syntactic structure, we then show how this structure can be used to detect patterns of language that can be processed by a lig...

Much of the work reported in the first three DSVIS conferences has concentrated on techniques and languages for specifying and developing interactive systems. In this paper, we argue that a change of emphasis may be necessary as the field matures. We argue that real projects with specific objectives for formal methods are more likely to employ a range of diverse, lightweight modelling technique...

While classifications are heavily used to categorize web content, the evolution of the web foresees a more formal structure – ontology which can serve this purpose. Ontologies are core artifacts of the Semantic Web which enable machines to use inference rules to conduct automated reasoning on data. Lightweight ontologies bridge the gap between classifications and ontologies. A lightweight ontol...

This book takes a thorough look at the issues and ideas surrounding use of membrane materials in design lightweight, energy-saving architecture.

Due to the prevalence of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) in the many mission-critical applications such as military areas, security has been considered as one of the essential parameters in Quality of Service (QoS), and Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is considered as a fundamental requirement for security in these networks. This paper presents a lightweight Intrusion Detection System to prote...

In today’s globalized markets, effectivity in the way that product development information is communicated and transparently interpreted by a variety of divisions and disciplines in an enterprise has an essential impact on the key factors time, cost and quality. PLM is a concept that intends to cope with respective challenges. Aiming for a reduction of CAD-licensing costs and data preparation o...

Wireless sensor networks require lightweight routing tailored for sensor devices with severe memory, power, and cost constraints. Such lightweight protocols must also support mobility and fault tolerance. The Very Lightweight Mobile Multicast (VLM) system addresses these concerns, introducing multicast support into wireless sensor networks. In simulation and in a true implementation on hardware...

This paper proposes a simple terminology for understanding and dealing with two current phenomena; we suggest calling them heavyweight and lightweight IT. Heavyweight IT denotes the well-established knowledge regime of large systems, developing ever more sophisticated solutions through advanced integration. Lightweight IT is suggested as a term for the new knowledge regime of mobile apps, senso...

In this research, the effect of the cement, sand, and pumice mixture on the durability of lightweight concrete is investigated. The intention of this paper is to replace a certain amount of the pumice percentage as an alternative option of the cement and pumice sand aggregate with conventional sand components. The experimental results include compressive strength, ion-chloride emission factor (...
