Providing IT-based care support for elderly at home is proposed as a highly promising appraoch to address the aging population problem. With the emergence of homecare application service providers, a homecare system can be seen as a linked set of services. Configuring and composing existing homecare application services to create new homecare composite applications can reduce the application de...

This paper presents a new tool-supported formalism based on collections of related timed occurrence nets, namely, timed structured occurrence nets (timed sons) for the modelling and analysis of causally-related events and concurrent events with uncertain or missing time information in evolving systems of systems. The application domain of timed sons includes accident and crime investigations. A...

prediction of weed emergence timing would help minimize crop yield loss and reducing herbicide use by optimization of the timing of weed control. therefore, seedling emergence evaluation was conducted in different irrigation levels (40, 60, 80, 100 percent of crop water requirement and furrow irrigation) to develop a thermal time seedling emergence model for amaranthus retroflexus l. in sunflow...

Business people increasingly throw up their arms in despair as their acknowledgement of a constantly changing environment that defies the somnambulant trust in managerial omniscience applied in quantitative forecasting. Desperate management all too often takes up the latest management fads or technological breakthrough as the ultimate panacea in the light of growing competition, rising complexi...

Since its initial definition in 2007, the concept of Linked Open Data (LOD) has gained strong traction in the scientific community. However, mainstream adoption has been limited and the emergence of an envisioned global linked data space is still in its early stages. One possible explanation is the gap between the large amounts of published LOD datasets and the lack of end-user tools to effecti...

Purpose – The paper aims to describe a proof of concept web application designed to allow users to search for library materials with geographic subject headings using Google Maps as the primary interface for navigation. The purpose of the paper is to describe the development of an innovative tool that one library has created to provide users with a new way to access bibliographic records. Desig...

The study was conducted with the application of the model MoDrY (Model-Dry periods-Yield) for the estimation of the level of potato yields on the basis of dry periods occurring during the particular periods between the phenological phases of the crop plant. A characteristic feature of this model, unlike most existing weatheryield models, is that the principle of its operation is based only ...
