A Tool for Creation of Virtual Exhibits Presented as IIIF Collections by Intelligent Agents
No full textIn this paper we present a tool designed and developed to allow for the production of digital contents under the IIIF 3.0 standard. It provides an user-friendly web GUI to editors who just need to define and correlate entities uploading media and filling form. This software is part of the results delivered by the Cleopatra project, introduced later in this manuscript, which aims to use conversational agents alongside IIIF compliant contents and services in order to improve the immersiveness of the user experience. For these reasons, in addition to the organization of contents, the software is able to insert appropriate annotations in such a way as to increase the amount of information a conversational agent possesses in order to be able to answer a wider and more varied pool of questions (author of a work, year in which it was created, stylistic current, geographical location, etc.)
A case study of application modeling in heterogeneous computing environments: Cholesky factorization in a NOW
No full textAn Application of Artificial Intelligence to Support the Discovering of Roman Centuriation Remains
No full textArchaeological research that uncovers ancient artifacts is of critical importance, since ruins and objects are the only way to deal with the history of a city. Artificial intelligence techniques can support the archaeologists to discover remains which are difficult to be identified manually as they must be sought on a vast territory or because they are hidden from direct observation. Here we present an original methodology that integrates deep learning and computer vision techniques to identify, from aerial pictures, remains of the Centuriation, that is an ancient Roman system for the division of the territory
Enabling Model Driven Engineering of Cloud Services by using mOSAIC Ontology
No full textThe easiness of managing and configuring resources and the low cost needed for setup and maintaining Cloud services have
made Cloud Computing widespread. Several commercial vendors now offer solutions based on Cloud architectures. More and more
providers offer new different services every month, following their customers needs. A way to provide a common access to Cloud
services and to discover and use required services in Cloud federations is appealing. mOSAIC project addresses these problems
by defining a common ontology and it aims at developing an open-source platform that enables applications to negotiate Cloud
services as requested by users. Anyway the increasing complexity of services required by users in Cloud Environments usually
needs the definition of composite, value added services (VAS). Usage patterns and Use Cases definitions help in defining VAS,
but a way to assure that new services reach the required goals with proper qualitative and quantitative properties has to be
provided in order to validate design and implementation of composite services. In this paper mOSAIC Ontology is described and
the MetaMORP(h)OSY methodology and framework are introduced. The methodology uses Model Driven Engineering and Model
Transformation techniques to analyse services. Due to the complexity of the systems to analyse, the mOSAIC Ontology is used in
order to build modelling profiles in MetaMORP(h)OSY able to address cloud domain-related properties

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
