Can models of author intention support quality assessment of content?
No full textAcademics seek to find, understand and critically review the work of other researchers through published scientific articles. In recent years, the volume of available information has significantly increased, partly due to technological advancements and partly due to pressures on academics to 'publish or perish'. This amount of papers presents a challenge not only for the peer-review process but also for readers, particularly inexperienced readers, to find publications of high quality. Whilst one might rely on citation or journal rankings to help guide this decision, this approach may not be completely reliable due to biased peer-review processes and the fact that the citation count of an article does not per se indicate its quality. Here, we analyse how expected author intentions in a Related Work section can be used to indicate its quality. We show that author intentions can predict the quality with reasonable accuracy and propose that similar approaches could be used in other sections to provide an overall picture of quality. This approach could be useful in supporting peer-review processes and for a reader in prioritising articles to read. © 2019 CEUR-WS. All rights reserved.Peer reviewe
Service-oriented models for audiovisual content storage
No full textWhat are the important topics to understand if involved with storage services to hold digital audiovisual content? This report takes a look at how content is created and moves into and out of storage; the storage service value networks and architectures found now and expected in the future; what sort of data transfer is expected to and from an audiovisual archive; what transfer protocols to use; and a summary of security and interface issues
Complex Event Processing Network Usage in WS-BPEL Processes
No full textBiznesa procesu pārvaldības sfērā ir parādījies jauns tirgus virziens, kas ir orientēts uz reāla laika biznesa procesu pārvaldību (RTBPM). No citas puses aktuāla sfēra ir komplekso notikumu apstrāde (angl.Complex Event Processing, CEP) ar CEP dziņiem, kas ir attīstījusies neatkarīgi no biznesa procesu pārvaldības. Diemžēl šobrīd CEP dziņi maz tiek izmantoti RTBPM realizācijai.
Autors paplašina CEP dziņa abstrakciju ar CEP tīklu, kas reprezentē notikumu apstrādes infrastruktūru daudzu sistēmu vidē. Darbā tiek sniegts uz standartiem balstīts CEP tīkla un WS-BPEL (angl. WS-Business Process Execution Language, izvēlēts biznesa procesu modelis) dziņa integrēts RTBPM risinājums, kā arī praktiska šī risinājuma realizācija. Galvenā risinājuma ideja ir ietvert CEP tīkla vaicājumus WSRF (angl. WS-Resource Framework) resursos, kas ļauj WS-BPEL procesiem saņemt notikumus izmantojot WSN (angl. WS-Notification).
Atslēgas vārdi: BPM, RTBPM, CEP, WSRF, WSN, integrācija.Recently a new market segment has emerged in business process management which is oriented towards real time business process management (RTBPM). On the other hand a topical area is Complex Event Processing (CEP) with CEP engines, which has developed independently of business process management. Unfortunately CEP engines are used rarely to implement RTBPM solutions.
Author extends the CEP engine abstraction with a CEP network which represents an infrastructure for event processing in a multi system environment. In this paper author provides CEP network and WS-BPEL (WS-Business Process Execution Language, selected business process model) engine integrated RTBPM solution as well a practical implementation of this solution. Main solution idea is to encapsulate CEP network queries in WSRF (WS-Resource Framework) resources which then allow WS-BPEL processes to receive events using WSN (WS-Notification).

Ontology matching evaluation : A statistical perspective
No full textThis paper proposes statistical approaches to test if the difference between two ontology matchers is real. Specifically, the performances of the matchers over multiple data sets are obtained and based on their performances, the conclusion can be drawn whether one method is better than one another or not. To do so, the paired t-test and Wilcoxon signed rank test are proposed and the comparisons over six recently proposed methods are reported. © 2016, CEUR-WS. All rights reserved
Animated Storytime: Aesop's Theatre Series
No full textThis book advertises an animated video, but if one goes to the site and uses the code, one learns that offerings before 2015 are no longer available. Apparently, one should buy another book instead! As I wrote about our other book in this collection, GA, there is an elaborate frame story in this landscape book 9½" x 8¾". Aesop (dog); Libbit (rabbit); Presy (fox); and the Shorties (pigs) are friends who put on plays. "Aesop's Theatre Series." In this book, Aesop writes a play about the wind and sun. That play is the traditional fable. Aesop plays the sun and wears a bright red necklace with burning light bulbs at the points of its star. Shorties play the wind and Libbit the traveler. The bet here,is about "who will blow off his coat first" and is proposed by the sun. The point is "Strength isn't everything." After the play comes a more personal application. The light bulbs on Aesop's sun costume explode. He experiences that he was trying to demonstrate power. "It is better to be kind than to use force." Descriptions, questions and key words close out the book. There are some ten books in this collection,This is a hardbound book (hard cover)First printingNo Autho
