Online auctions are gaining popularity as they provide an excellent means of selling goods. Their advantages include: reducing transaction costs, selling goods that are difficult to sell through the ordinary market channels, and increasing the circle of potential customers. This paper presents a pattern language for the Web auction application domain. The pattern language has ten analysis patte...

Patterns represent in a compact and rich in semantics way huge quantity of heterogeneous data. Due to their characteristics, specific systems are required for pattern management, in order to model and manipulate patterns, with a possibly user-defined structure, in an efficient and effective way. In this demonstration we present PSYCHO, a pattern based management system prototype. PSYCHO allows ...

Modeling human computer interactions as dialog, while originating in voice user interfaces, is becoming increasingly important for multimodal systems. Di erent approaches with regard to formalizing and managing dialogues exist with their speci c strength and weaknesses. In this paper, we present existing dialogue management techniques as patterns to give a basis for decision support when develo...

Knowledge intensive applications rely on the usage of knowledge artifacts, called patterns, to represent in a compact and semantically rich way huge quantities of heterogeneous raw data. Due to pattern characteristics of patterns, specific systems are required for pattern management in order to model, store, retrieve and manipulate patterns in an efficient and effective way. Several theoretical...

BACKGROUND There currently exists a vast amount of literature concerning chronic illness self-management, however the developmental patterns and sustainability of self-management over time remain largely unknown. This paper aims to describe the patterns by which different chronic illness self-management behaviors develop and are maintained over time. METHOD Twenty-one individuals newly diagno...

Data intensive applications produce complex information that is posing requirements for novel Database Management Systems (DBMSs). Such information is characterized by its huge volume of data and by its diversity and complexity, since the data processing methods such as pattern recognition, data mining and knowledge extraction result in knowledge artifacts like clusters, association rules, deci...

Title of Dissertation: IMAGE MANAGEMENT USING PATTERN RECOGNITION SYSTEMS Bongwon Suh, Doctor of Philosophy, 2005 Dissertation Directed By: Associate Professor Benjamin B. Bederson, Department of Computer Science With the popular usage of personal image devices and the continued increase of computing power, casual users need to handle a large number of images on computers. Image management is c...

Patterns can be defined as knowledge artifacts, providing a compact and semantically rich representation of a huge quantity of heterogeneous raw data. Due to the specific characteristics of patterns, ad hoc systems are required for pattern management, in order to model, store, retrieve, and manipulate patterns in an efficient and effective way. Pattern management historically concerned the defi...

Patterns and models are artifacts that are assets to their owners. Storing them in a repository and using common interfaces for their management simplifies their usage. This article proposes architecture of an extensible repository system that is called Pattern Management Software System (PMSS). It permits metamodel engineer to define abstract syntax of a new modeling or pattern writing languag...
