The development of World Wide Web requires a semantic data model to effectively manage the contents of its heterogeneous resources. This challenges traditional data models, which are mainly for managing structured resources or relatively simple data objects. Classification is one of the most basic methods to organize and manage resources in the real world. The Resource Space Model RSM is a sema...

Numerous papers have addressed building Union Catalog (UC) technologies, such as metadata schema, data exchange (e.g., OAI-PMH, Z39.50), and resource classification. In contrast to these approaches, in this article, we focus on UC technologies that leverage resource utilization across digital resources. We take the repositories of National Digital Archives Program (NDAP) in Taiwan as the projec...

The economic assessment of mining projects includes many factors and resource classification is critical at any stage of mining. The quality of resource classification is a key requirement for accurate economic and environmental risk evaluation. The results of economic assessment are usually reported by companies in order to attract investors. Mineral resource classification standards were crea...

Recent advancements in technology and computing environments have extended the scope of classification criteria for traditional grids to include wireless, mobile and ad hoc grids based on the criteria of Accessibility. The realization of the benefits of grids to a larger extent is based on the effective discovery of resources (which could be heterogeneous in nature) that are part of the grid. T...

ii Executive Summary The absence of a hierarchical approach to classification that integrates landscape and riverine ecological theory hampers scientific and regulatory endeavors to define natural resource management strategies protective of watershed dynamics. It is my intent to review existing aquatic and landscape classification methodologies and measures of ecosystem condition and to develo...

We consider the problem of resource allocation in mining multiple data streams. Due to the large volume and the high speed of streaming data, mining algorithms must cope with the effects of system overload. How to realize maximum mining benefits under resource constraints becomes a challenging task. In this paper, we propose a load shedding scheme for classifying multiple data streams. We focus...

Cloud computing is a distributed computing model which enables developers to automatically deploy their applications onto the cloud. There are many applications running on a cloud which requires parallel processing capabilities. Applications of such nature require an efficient scheduling algorithm to manage heavy traffic. The drawbacks of existing scheduling algorithms are low resource utilizat...

In the Internet era, there is no doubt that has helped us in many ways by providing with a means to communicate anyone around world. That said, some people misuse such technology conduct malicious behaviors. Many things could be exploited perform acts, but this work focuses on exploitation methods use uniform resource locator (URL). This paper presents extract features from raw URL. These are u...
