The resource space model (RSM) is a model for organizing versatile resources in normal forms and providing uniform resource management operations. In applications, we find three important factors that influence the effectiveness of organizing and operating resources: natural semantics of resources, resource providers’ beliefs, and resource users’ beliefs. The relationship between the three fact...

As the web continues to change the way we produce and disseminate scientific knowledge, traditional digital libraries are confronted with the challenge of transcending their boundaries to remain compatible with a world where the whole Web in itself is the source of scientific knowledge. This paper discusses a resource-oriented approach for the management and interaction of scientific services a...

Based on the Resource Space Model, this paper proposes a view mechanism for finding and reusing legacy Resource Spaces according to users’ idiosyncratic resource interests. It establishes flexible restructuring mechanism of legacy Resource Spaces in the distributed interconnection environment. As a viewpoint organization strategy, the resource subject tree is proposed as an effective way for di...

Scheduling problems play a big role in manufacturing and planning the production for increasing the production efficiency and assigning the resources to operations. Furthermore, in many manufacturing systems there is a physical space between stages that called intermediate buffers. In this study, a model is proposed for minimizing the makespan of a hybrid flow shop scheduling problem with inter...
