With the advent of object oriented database systems, there is an urgent need to define methodologies and tools for mapping conceptual schemes into object oriented ones. The evolution and the diversity of OO models on the one hand, and the increase of user needs on the other hand, ar the two factors that make these tools require important flexibility properties, that is to say easiness in mainte...

Interoperability issues on networks of heterogeneous devices create a relevant and complex challenge. The Word Wide Web Consortium (W3C) develops series specifications, called the Things (WoT), to address this WoT is focused integrating smart things into application layer system using technologies. Thus, expected have great impact retrofit buildings once data from existing future planned system...

This paper presents the main issues of using turbo coding schemes in wireless packet transmission networks, including rate compatibility, channel estimation and header encapsulation. We claim that incorporating payload information bits, pilot bits and header bits into the code structure yields performance improvements in terms of bit error probability and easiness of implementation. We propose ...

improving the quality of medical images at pre and post-surgery operations are necessary for beginning and speeding up the recovery process. partial differential equations (pdes)-based models have become a powerful and well known tool in different areas of image processing such as denoising, multiscale image analysis, edge detection and other fields of image processing and computer vision. in t...

Statistical model in retrieval has been shown to perform well empirically. Extended Boolean model has been widely used in business system for its easiness to be complemented and not bad results. In this paper, a statistical model and modified Boolean model and natural language processing techniques, shallow query understanding techniques are used and results show that even with very limited tra...

D-blade is a relatively new device in the field of videolaryngoscopy, designed for airway management by enabling indirectoscopic glottic view. In our study, we investigated efficiency of D-blade in comparison with direct Macintosh laryngoscope (gold standard). Fifty-two adult patients with normal airway scheduled for elective surgery in general anesthesia were randomly assigned in D-blade video...

In this paper, we present an approach for integrating Social Web with Semantic Web by combining the easiness of annotation of resources in the Social Web and the expressiveness of ontologies to describe the resources in the Semantic Web. Our approach combines ontology learning and ontology evolution techniques to provide an integrated Web. Besides, we show how ontology alignment can be used to ...

The paper describes a framework for the implementation of an elearning system based on the Semantic Web, using software agents and Java Web Services. Hopefully we have elucidated the enormous potential of making web content machine-understandable. One of the killer applications for the Semantic Web might prove to be related to e-learning, considering the amount of research in this sector and th...
