most of the analyses and modeling concerning the mountain physical and human environmental changes have been based on theoretical speculation rather than scientific field observations. lack of standard observations and measurements in scattered and case specific monitoring programs offer only partially useful results for planning and management. all propositions and conclusions are hence mingle...

Due to the rapid growth of consumer electronics market, there are urgent needs in effective execution of integrated circuit (IC) collaborative design projects and better utilization of silicon intellectual property (SIP) as design knowledge on a virtual design cyber-space. In order to provide IC industry a well-integrated design environment, this research proposes an integrated information plat...

Developing and maintaining software extensions for Web Content Management Systems (WCMSs) like Joomla, WordPress, or Drupal can be a difficult and time consuming process. This poster presents a model-driven process which addresses typical challenges during the migration of software extensions for WCMSs. We introduce JooMDD as a prototypical environment for the development and maintenance of Joo...

If e-Government systems are to achieve the anticipated goals of storing, manipulating, diffusing, and preserving knowledge, then these systems must incorporate mechanisms for domain-specific information. One often overlooked asset for this activity is the knowledge embedded within and between records and legacy record keeping systems; however, lacking government-wide documentation management sy...

In this paper, we summarize our work in the field of eGovernment. First, we identify a critical dual integration deficit in contemporary public administration. A new modus operandi is proposed to overcome the consequent problems. We try to implement and exploit these new business models using semantic technologies as the enabling technology infrastructure. For supporting this effort, we have co...

The TREC Medical Records track fosters research that allows electronic health records to be retrieved based on the semantic content of free-text fields. The ability to find records by matching semantic content will enhance clinical care and support the secondary use of medical records in clinical trials and epidemiological studies. TREC 2012 is the sophomore year of the track, which attracted 2...

We present three systems for surface natural language generation that are trainable from annotated corpora. The first two systems, called NLG1 and NLG2, require a corpus marked only with domainspecific semantic attributes, while the last system, called NLG3, requires a corpus marked with both semantic attributes and syntactic dependency information. All systems attempt to produce a grammatical ...

This paper describes the first participation of DCU in the TREC Medical Records Track (TRECMed) 2012. We performed initial experiments on the the 2011 TRECMed data based on the BM25 retrieval model. Surprisingly, we found that the standard BM25 model with default parameters performs comparable to the best automatic runs submitted to TRECMed 2011 and our experiments would have ranked among the t...
