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...

In recent years, the development of IOT (Internet of Things) technology has given people many ways to obtain information through various types of physical devices. In parallel with that trend, people rely more on context-aware service and devices in many aspects, such as health care and elderly home care. However, traditional sensors are typically locked into closed systems, which hinder the ac...

E-government has become an important phenomenon which attracted every country toward itself. However e-government is facing challenges which have significant effects on its performance. In order to overcome these challenges good strategies are inevitable for the e-government implementation. In this paper we analyzed Saudi Arabia's e-government using strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and...

BACKGROUND Blended learning (BL) in a cell biology course of the premedical program at the Kasturba Medical College International Centre, Manipal, India, commenced in 2006. The program provides training in basic sciences to students, especially from the United States and Canada. The approach to the study was phenomenographic, with a qualitative study design using an open-ended questionnaire, fo...

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a technological topic with a very important societal impact. IoT application domains are various, such as smart cities, precision farming, smart factories, smart buildings, etc, and the diversity of these application domains is the source of the very high technological heterogeneity in the IoT, leading to interoperability issues. The semantic web principles and t...

Abstract Despite the large amount of information, including books, articles and pristine images geotourism, there exists no comprehensive study on collection classification them in Iran yet. In this research, for modelling geosite watersheds, 1000 were surveyed through library research models with highest frequency use identified analysed among a statistical sample 451 local papers using Meta-A...

Given the complexity of Web Applications, Requirements Engineering is a critical initial stage, but often poorly executed & handled with less relevance. The major consequences are inadequate software architectures, “Unforeseen” problems, viz., budget overruns & production delay, and low user acceptance. Web Applications (Web Apps) require a more extensive and detailed Requirements Engineering (...

The use of virtual-reality technology in the areas of rehabilitation and therapy continues to grow, with encouraging results being reported for applications that address human physical, cognitive, and psychological functioning. This article presents a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) analysis for the field of VR rehabilitation and therapy. The SWOT analysis is a commonly...

The future Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite mission will provide twodimensional maps of water elevation for rivers with width greater than 100 m globally. We describe a modeling framework and an automatic control algorithm that prescribe optimal releases from the Selingue dam in the Upper Niger River Basin, with the objective of understanding how SWOT data might be used to th...
