We evaluate the efficacy of an established OO/CBD development process (OPEN) in web development and propose new and amended Activities, Tasks, Techniques and Roles that should be included in OPEN in order to fully support the new demands of website construction and the delivery of business value on the web. Sixteen new Tasks are identified together with one new Activity. Four subtasks of partic...

Detecting the boundaries of citations in the running text of research papers is an important task for research paper summarisation, idea attribution, sentiment analysis, and other citation-based analysis research. Recently, detecting non-explicit citing sentences has garnered some attention, but can still be seen as in its infancy. We define this task as citation block determination (CBD). In t...

Query Expansion has been widely used to improve the effectiveness of documents retrieval. In this work, we have attempted to identify additional terms for query expansion, from the initial set of documents retrieved for the original query, with the help of Clustering-by-Directions (CBD) algorithm proposed by Kaczmarek[1]. The CBD algorithm is based a tag cloud of associated terms that are locat...

With the rapid development of network technology in recent years, more and more innovative computing models and related applications appear, such as mobile device based cloud computing, social network, intelligent manufacturing and e‐business, et al. Under these situations, massive data will be generated, stored and processed under various circumstances and different requirement. In order to ef...

The seminal research regarding the contemporary Children’s Behavioral Development (CBD), specifically Children’s Private Speech (CPS) and Self-Regulation Learning (SRL), began in 1920s with the early work of Vygotsky and Jean Piaget 1950s. Since that time, the research came up with different and various outcomes associated with many and various critiques that the new research should take into a...

In the Netherlands, a number of organizations co-operate to develop a state-of-the-art, low-cost system to monitor biodiversity trends. This combined effort has lead to the Network Ecological Monitoring (NEM). Core business of the NEM is to arrange ecological monitoring activities in such a way that with minimal efforts, a maximum of purposes can be served. Monitoring purposes range from local ...

This paper presents a case study of the investment banking arm of a multinational banking corporation (Invebank) which is attempting to introduce Component-Based Development (CBD). Problems were apparent in this adoption because, while CBD requires extensive knowledge sharing and collaboration, sub-cultural differences between groups within Invebank meant that this proved difficult to enact. Th...

In the last few years Component Based Development (CBD) and Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP) are gaining more and more relevance. Whilst CBD has been shown as a good mean to reuse designs and to build complex systems by the plug-and-play mechanisms, AOP makes code more reusable and complex systems more comprehensible. However, little efforts have been made to integrate both paradigms and conse...

In the standard urban model, employment is concentrated in the Central Business District (CBD) and the locational choice of households is modeled solely on access to the employment center. Now, technology has facilitated the emergence of new office environments where work is done at unconventional locations that were earlier in the CBD. While the urban density function is not really new, in thi...

Biodiversity is a key to human well-being. However universally acknowledged, this reality is not appreciated as much as one might imagine or hope. Having achieved a high standing in the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) in 1992, biodiversity appears to have gradually fallen from that position in the 20 years since. This is evidenced by the fact that most discussions and actions in relati...
