Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) wurde in den letzten Jahren ein beliebter Terminus für ein recht unscharf definiertes Bündel von Produkten, Technologien und Prozessen. Ziel dieses Beitrags ist es, eine schärfere Abgrenzung von ILM gegenüber anderen Technologien wie insbesondere dem Enterprise Content Management zu ermöglichen und weiterhin eine Methodik zur Entwicklung der notwendigen Ko...

Opinion mining, which aims the automatic processing of subjective information, has become a key field. In the political context, the awareness of people’s sentiment towards their representatives, public organizations, political parties or politicians, can support political decisions, campaign moves, government policies, marketing strategies, etc. This paper describes a case study over opinions ...

We study the vanishing cycles of a one-parameter smoothing of a complex analytic space and show that the weight filtration on its perverse cohomology sheaf of the highest degree is quite close to the monodromy filtration so that its graded pieces have a modified Lefschetz decomposition. We also describe its primitive part using the weight filtration on the perverse cohomology sheaves of the con...

Enterprise Content Management (ECM) bildet in Unternehmen zunehmend die Basis für die IT-seitige Verwaltung schwach strukturierter Informationen, insbesondere in Form von Dokumenten und Inhalten ohne Dokumentenbezug. Neben dem Einsatz von IT-Systemen, die im Rahmen des Enterprise Content Managements Anwendung finden, liegt eine besondere Herausforderung in der Gestaltung der Prozesse des Enterp...

The web is increasingly being used by mobile users. In addition, it is increasingly becoming possible to accurately geo-position mobile users and web content. This development gives prominence to spatial web data management. Specifically, a spatial keyword query takes a user location and user-supplied keywords as arguments and returns web objects that are spatially and textually relevant to the...

In this work we propose to exploit context sensor data for analyzing user generated videos. Firstly, we perform a low-level indexing of the recorded media with the instantaneous compass orientations of the recording device. Subsequently, we exploit the low level indexing to obtain a higher level indexing for discovering camera panning movements, classifying them, and for identifying the Region ...

Content distribution networks (CDNs) increase the capacity of individual Web sites and attempt to deliver content from caches that are located “closer” to end-users than the origin servers that provide the content. CDN brokering provides CDNs a way to interoperate by allowing one CDN to intelligently redirect clients dynamically to other CDNs. This paper describes the goals, architecture, and p...

Investigation of food and feeding of fishes has traditionally been an important field of activity in fisheries biology, but it is one in which there are great difficulties in correlating the results with the research made in the other fields (FAO, 1974). Investigations of the food of the fish cannot be considered in isolation but have to be discussed in relation to the whole marine environment,...
