A dynamic data construct built on the basis of a snap-card paradigm is designed to meet the needs of information empowerment, formation flexibility, and representation versatility for rapid interchange and effective integration of information in complex environment. It facilitates the prompt reporting, gathering, tracking, and analysis of information from wide spread of heterogeneous resources,...

The BRIDGES project is incrementally developing and exploring database integration over six geographically distributed research sites with the framework of a Wellcome Trust biomedical research project (the Cardiovascular Functional Genomics project) to provide a sophisticated infrastructure for bioinfomaticians. Grid technologies are being used to facilitate this integration. Key issues to be i...

With overwhelming use of Internet, security in Cyberspace has become a prime concern. The forensic digital analysis as a whole, in its relative infancy, is the unwilling victim of the rapid advancement of computer technology, so it is at the mercy of ever more new and complex computing approaches. Forensic digital analysis is unique among the forensic sciences in that it is inherently mathemati...

Lithium battery is a reliable source for mobile, computers and electric vehicles. However, the internal chemical reaction of lithium battery is complex and susceptible to external influences, such that the traditional model-driven approach cannot model it accurately. In this paper, based on the data-driven approach, an expectation maximization algorithm is proposed to model a class of lithium b...

Software systems of today are frequently composed from prefabricated, heterogeneous components that provide complex functionality and engage in complex interactions. Current approaches to address the problem of consistently engineering large, complex software systems. are centered around composing software systems from coarse-grained components. Componentbased development mostly focuses on comp...
