In this paper we expose the architecture and the implementation details of a new visualization system suitable to any Internet search engine or directory that tries to improve the search process done by users. Using this new system, users can get a more comfortable and efficient navigation through the search results without opening new windows and downloading simultaneously many Web pages in ba...

We have previously demonstrated that an EEG-controlled web browser based on self-regulation of slow cortical potentials (SCPs) enables severely paralyzed patients to browse the internet independently of any voluntary muscle control. However, this system had several shortcomings, among them that patients could only browse within a limited number of web pages and had to select links from an alpha...

With the increasingly deeper application of multimedia and network technology in education, the proportion of web-based learning presents a trend of continuous growth in people’s daily study, and the webbased learners tend to have learning fatigue during their learning process of distance education. Under the 4 learning states of normal study, fatigue and doubt, the eye opening degrees of web-b...

Data integration is a perennial issue in bioinformatics, with many systems being developed and many technologies offered as a panacea for its resolution. The fact that it is still a problem indicates a persistence of underlying issues. Progress has been made, but we should ask "what lessons have been learnt?", and "what still needs to be done?" Semantic Web and Web 2.0 technologies are the late...

Statistical data often come with inconsistencies: records of people with negative ages, pregnant males, and underaged car drivers often populate statistical databases. National Statistical Offices (NSO) encode knowledge to detect these inconsistencies in so-called edit rules. These days, there is an increasing number of statistical data being published and linked on the Web using the RDF Data C...

With over 80 file formats to represent various chemical attributes, the conversion between one format and another is invariably lossy due to informal specifications. In contrast, the use of a formal knowledge representation language such as the Web Ontology Language (OWL) enables precise molecular descriptions that can be reasoned about in a logically valid manner. In this paper, we describe a ...

Web2.0 has revolutionized the way we use the Web by opening the doors of collaborative learning and direct communication and making the web an open source for learning and exchanging ideas. The aim of this paper is to give Web2.0 its prominent aspect into e-Learning. We present a design model for e-Learning corporate environments that incorporates the social and collaborative aspect of the know...

With cloud computing as an infrastructure model maturing, first efforts around cloud-based software development are emerging. In this model, a cloud-based environment enables developers to edit, test and deploy Web applications through a Web browser. We consider this tool stack to be disruptive in its nature, changing the way software development is being carried out and opening up new opportun...
