In this paper we present SUPERHUB, a prototype, open platform for urban-mobility that integrates multimodal journey planning with captology influenced digital behaviour management in order to encourage increasingly sustainable travel behaviours. We build upon recent research in digital persuasion, mobile HCI, and findings from a user-centered design process to create a novel and sustainable urb...

In this paper we investigate what is needed to make user interface builders incrementally refinable. The need for dedicated user interface builders is motivated by drawing a parallel with programming language design and object-oriented application frameworks. We show that reflection techniques borrowed from the programming language community can be successfully applied to make user interface bu...

The use of in situ references Earth observation monitoring is a fundamental need. LUCAS (Land Use and Coverage Area frame Survey) an activity that has performed repeated surveys over Europe every three years since 2006. dataset unique many aspects; however it currently not available through standardized interface, machine-to-machine. Moreover, the evolution limits performance change analysis us...

RxClass is a web-based, interactive browser and companion API to explore the relationships between RxNorm drugs and drug classes from several sources including ATC, MeSH and NDF-RT. Like RxNav, RxClass is publicly available at: http://rxnav.nlm.nih.gov /

Two of the most common ways of processing and manipulating OWL ontologies are through an ontology editing environment (e.g. Protege or TopBraid) or via a programmatic interface, such as the OWL API. A complementary method is to use an OWL-aware command line shell. Posh, the Prolog OWL Shell is an interactive toplevel readeval-print-loop interface that provides powerful capabilities for querying...

Portals and Portlets are emerging technologies and gaining lot of popularity. Portals are gaining attention among programmers due to their ease in development, richness in functionality, customization of interface and pluggable architecture. With this popularity today there are many open source Portal Frameworks available and list of these open source frameworks is all the time increasing. It i...

Many of the sensors finding their way into sensor networks run a lightweight operating system developed at U.C. Berkeley called TinyOS. This open-source operating system, designed specifically for highly-constrained wireless devices, enables building a variety of applications using highly modular code. Over one hundred groups worldwide, and several company products, use TinyOS. Our main contrib...

With enterprises facing tremendous time-to-market pressures, manufacturing systems must be implemented quickly and modified easily. The ability of the open architecture approach to reconfigure or extend existing machine controllers to meet new needs is one of its advantages in meeting these challenges. Another open architecture advantage is the ability to reuse existing designs or components. H...

CUMULVS is a middleware library that provides application programmers with a simple API for describing viewable and steerable elds in large-scale distributed simulations. These descriptions provide the data type, a logical name of the eld/parameter, and the mapping of global indices to local indices (processor and physical storage) for distributed data elds. The CUMULVS infrastructure uses thes...

determination a sequence of extracting ore is one of the most important problems in mine annual production scheduling. production scheduling affects mining performance especially in a poly-metallic open pit mine with considering the imposed operational and physical constraints mandated by high levels of reliability in relation to the obtained actual results. one of the important operational con...
