Definition and categorization of dew computing
No full textDew computing is an emerging new research area and has great potentials in applications. In this paper, we
propose a revised definition of dew computing. The new definition is: Dew computing is an on-premises
computer software-hardware organization paradigm in the cloud computing environment where the on-premises
computer provides functionality that is independent of cloud services and is also collaborative with cloud
services. The goal of dew computing is to fully realize the potentials of on-premises computers and cloud
services. This definition emphasizes two key features of dew computing: independence and collaboration.
Furthermore, we propose a group of dew computing categories. These categories may inspire new applications

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
