Service discovery in a dynamic office environment / Ooi Soo Teck
Get PDFThe raising of pervasive computing environments of heterogeneous network has provided a major impact to replicate the network-based service discovery technologies in ad hoc networks and mobile networks. The ability to interact and control network devices with different modalities within the home and office environment could be very beneficial to many users. The Service discovery in computers and handheld devices enabled them to interact with one another through heterogeneous wired and wireless networks. These services advertise their existence in a dynamic way and the devices may automatically discover them together with their properties.
Service discoveries were used in home and office environment where the devices in homes and offices can be monitored and controlled over the Internet by handheld devices such as laptop and mobile devices. These devices which are based on different technologies are able to communicate and be discovered over the internet with the service discovery technologies. However, there are few issues that prevent these to be realized due to the complexities of the ad hoc environment.
This thesis focuses and provides a preliminary study and analysis of the service discovery technologies in an ad hoc network along with the requirements that need to be met. The challenges are to communicate devices of different communication protocols in a heterogeneous network and platform and the devices are able to be accessed over wide-area network which currently are poor in support.
An architecture of devices interaction is proposed based on the analysis of requirements. A new service discovery concept for dynamic office network is developed and presented in a scenario where a salesman, bringing his pocket pc into his client office which was enabled with UPnP support, able to discover a printer around and print his product details without any network setup and configuration. The service-oriented OSGi (Open Service Gateway Initiative) framework is proposed as the base platform of the architecture. A prototype is partially deployed on the knopflerfish OSGi framework to evaluate the possibility of the proposed architecture. This prototype demonstrates and satisfies the requirement that services could be discovered over different networks and communication platform such as UPnP and OSGi

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
