This paper proposes a deep convolutional neural model for character-based Chinese word segmentation. It first constructs position embeddings to encode unigram and bigram features that are directly related to single positions in input sentence, and then adaptively builds up hierarchical position representations with a deep convolutional net. In addition, a multi-task learning strategy is used to...

Wireless sensor network (WSN) applications sense events in-situ and compute results in-network. Their software components should run on platforms with stringent constraints on node resources. To meet these constraints, developers often design their programs by trial-and-error. Such manual process is time-consuming and error-prone. Based on an existing task view that treats a WSN application as ...

Workflow problems generally require the coordination of many workers; machines and computers. Agents provide a natural mechanism for modelling a system where multiple actors operate, but they do not explicitly support coordination schemes. Efficient task allocation to these actors is a fundamental coordination prerequisite. A competent allocation policy should address both system performance is...

Distributed troubleshooting often requires experts to support non-experts at a distance. The resulting separation between collaborators can impoverish their understanding of each other’s task contexts, impeding their collaboration. Consequently, this paper argues that developing effective troubleshooting support systems requires determining (1) what contextual information the participants requi...

Cultural diversity can have both positive and negative effects on the performance of multinational teams. Positive effects can stem from the wide variety of experiences and methods that a culturally diverse team can draw on to plan and to develop innovative or efficient solutions to a complex problem. However, cultural diversity can also lead to miscommunications and misunderstandings during ta...

The coordination between agent service and Web service is the key factor for intelligent Web service management in the multi-agent based Web service framework. In view of the drawbacks of existing coordination approaches for agent service and Web service, this paper proposed a multiagent and workflow-based Web service management model. Through analyzing the interaction relations between agent s...

In our paper we present our rule-based system for semantic processing. In particular we show examples and solutions that may be challenge our approach. We then discuss problems and shortcomings of Task 2 – iSTS. We comment on the existence of a tension between the inherent need to on the one side, to make the task as much as possible “semantically feasible”. Whereas the detailed presentation an...

Maintaining and supporting the software of an organization is not an easy task, and software maintainers do not currently have access to tools to evaluate strategies for improving the specific activities of software maintenance. This article presents a web-based training approach using a knowledge-based system which helps in locating best practices in a software maintenance capability maturity ...
