Abstract For operational use there is a need to identify set of measures that quantify the resilience. The ‘CoastRes’ project, component UK Climate Resilience Programme, examined how an interpretation resilience might be applied coast, building on existing approaches shoreline management in UK. development methodology and resulting Coastal Model has been reported elsewhere. this communication, ...

In this paper technical issues are discussed related to the development and implementation of a remotely accessible portal that allows users to interact with a range of electronic health records (EHRs). The Portal (known as the UVic EHR Educational Portal) was designed to allow for the hosting of a range of types of EHRs, ranging from thick client systems to web-browser-based systems. The porta...

Information Portals have gathered lot of attention among many organizations interested in a single point of access to their information and services. But developing portals from scratch is sometimes too expensive, so many vendors have proposed frameworks to make it affordable. Notwithstanding the frameworks the market offers seem stuck in a simplicity vs. flexibility trade off imposed by the We...

Web portals contain large amount of information. Users could really benefit from it if personalized presentation is used. For this to be accomplished the website needs to “know” its users. When surfing the Web users leave digital footprints in the form of navigational paths and actions taken. We present a method for adaptive navigation support and link recommendation. The method is based on an ...

Recent advances in next-generation sequencing technologies and genome assembly algorithms have enabled the accumulation of a huge volume of genome sequences from various species. This has provided new opportunities for large-scale comparative genomics studies. Identifying and utilizing synteny blocks, which are genomic regions conserved among multiple species, is key to understanding genomic ar...

Several systems integration proposals have been suggested over the years. However these proposals have mainly focused on data integration, not allowing users to take advantage of services offered by Web portals. Most of the mentioned proposals only provide a set of design principles to build integrated systems and lack in suggesting a systematic way of how to develop systems based on the integr...

A bstr act: T his paper presents a menu-based interface intended to support web navigation through multimodal interaction on small displays. As common starting points for web browsing and searching, portals organize links to news, entertainment, and other kinds of content. T he problem is that portal navigation is tailored mainly to large displays and point-and-click interaction, but most mobil...

Organizations providing enhanced electronic services to their customers have exponentially increased in past years. The benefits of web-portals to companies and to customers are well evident and are considered an IT artifact manifested in entry points to Internet-based information presentation and exchange by communities of common interest. Despite much research done on the benefits of web port...

Modern web applications and servers like Portal require adequate support for integration of search services due to user focused information delivery and user interaction, as well as new technologies used to render such information, which is exemplified by two fundamental problems that have long plagued web crawlers: dynamic content and Javascript generated content. Today, the solution is simple...
