In this demonstration, we present our Semantic W eb of Things (SWoT) prototyping toolkit called SWoTSuite. It is a set of tools supporting an easy and fast prototyping of end-to-end SWoT applications. SWoTSuite facilitates (i) automation of application development life-cycle, (ii) reducing the amount of time and effort required for developing WoT applications and (iii) an easy integration of se...

SWOT analysis is an established method for assisting the formulation of strategy. An application to strategy formulation and its incorporation into the strategic development process at the University of Warwick is described. The application links SWOT analysis to resource-based planning, illustrates it as an iterative rather than a linear process and embeds it within the overall planning proces...

The purpose of this study is to analyze the perceptions of students and faculty members regarding educational use of communication technologies in two different countries with different cultures. Communications technologies examined in this article include various online interaction tools with strategic planning centers on SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) analysis. A comp...

The Semantic Web and Internet of Things visions are converging toward the so-called Semantic Web of Things (SWoT). It aims to enable smart semantic-enabled applications and services in ubiquitous contexts. Due to architectural and performance issues, it is currently impractical to use existing Semantic Web reasoners. They are resource consuming and are basically optimized for standard inference...

With the objective of achieving quality and excellence in higher education system in the region, this study provides a basis to decision makers to exploit opportunities and minimize the external threats. The SWOT analysis of different univ...

Currently competitive world outsourcing is one of the important strategies used by modern enterprises. Contractor selection is characterized as a multi-criteria decision-making problem that comprises tangible and intangible factors. Previous contractor selection techniques do not consider strategic perspective. This paper applied quantified SWOT in the context of contractor selection under a fu...

[1] The proposed Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission would provide measurements of water surface elevation (WSE) for characterization of storage change and discharge. River channel bathymetry is a significant source of uncertainty in estimating discharge from WSE measurements, however. In this paper, we demonstrate an ensemble-based data assimilation (DA) methodology for estimatin...

With current increased applications of web-based management systems, the number of fatalities occasioned by human error in industrial plants has significantly reduced. Distributed control system used in industries for monitoring and control techniques offers reprieve to plant managers by offsetting the number of threats to plant operations through early detections and interventions. Even though...

Semantic Web of Things (SWoT) applications focus on providing a wide-scale interoperability that allows the sharing of IoT devices across domains and the reusing of available knowledge on the web. However, the application development is difficult because developers have to do various tasks such as designing an application, annotating IoT data, interpreting data, and combining application domain...

Nowadays, Due to the accelerated environment changes and organizational decisions have become complex, the need for using strategic programs to face this kind of problems is more tangible. In this paper, at first, the most influential internal and external elements were detected with the help of the techniques of strategy formulation. Then having used the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities an...
