Information Futureproofing for Large-scale Infrastructure

There are challenges of maintaining, refurbishing and modernising infrastructure assets under limited investments available for such purposes. Potential technological and operational challenges exist as a barrier to long-term information retention, which also plays a crucial role, amongst other factors, to futureproof major infrastructure. These issues appear to be trivial for short-term data m...

SPred: Large-scale Harvesting of Semantic Predicates

We present SPred, a novel method for the creation of large repositories of semantic predicates. We start from existing collocations to form lexical predicates (e.g., break ∗) and learn the semantic classes that best fit the ∗ argument. To do this, we extract all the occurrences in Wikipedia which match the predicate and abstract its arguments to general semantic classes (e.g., break BODY PART, ...

Infrastructure for Virtual Enterprises in Large-Scale Open Systems

This paper presents SALE, a middleware platform for mission-critical applications built upon the CORBA architecture and its extensions for real-time (RTCORBA), fault tolerance (FT-CORBA) and security (CORBASec). The SALE platform provides different reliability, security and real-time properties, which are specified by applications as quality of service (QoS) requirements. Preliminary results ob...

Simulation Infrastructure for Modeling Large Scale Neural Systems

This paper describes the Large-scale Edge Node Simulator, a problem solving environment for the implementation of large scale models of neural systems. This work was motivated by the absence of adequate modeling tools for this domain. The object-oriented Large-scale Edge Node Simulator was developed after a rigorous requirements analysis for this class of simulations. An example use of this env...
