Although the Semantic Web data standards are established, ontology-based applications built on the standards are relatively limited. This is partly due to high learning curve and e®orts demanded in building ontology-based Semantic Web applications. In this paper, we describe an ontology application management (OAM) framework that aims to simplify creation and adoption of ontology-based applicat...

Web applications are one of the most prevalent platforms for information and services delivery over Internet today. As they are increasingly used for critical services, web applications become a popular and valuable target for security attacks. Although a large body of techniques have been developed to fortify web applications and and mitigate the attacks toward web applications, there is littl...

This paper describes X-Rooms, a PC-based immersive visualization environment with integrated spatial audio, video and graphics. The concept is similar to the original CAVE® [1], but it uses a novel web-based visualization system running on top of a PCcluster with Windows XP installed. Compared to other common installations based on expensive high-end unix graphics systems, costs are reduced by ...

Web mapping based on client-side application programming interfaces (APIs) is very popular, especially for mashups. However, we can observe that most of these applications use no labeling. Thus, fast comprehensibility of such maps is hindered. In this paper, we investigate the reasons for this situation. Based on this analysis, a specification is presented that fosters the use of dynamic point ...

Security testing is a software testing discipline that aims to verify that the functionality of the software is resistant to attacks and data processed by the software is protected. To establish common requirements that the software must ful ll, software security standards are published. This thesis aims to describe and apply a process necessary to verify the security of a web application. A ch...

Under the background of the requirement of high availability and high performance on the basis of the large-scale distributing type application in agriculture, makes more researches on the component cluster's application management, deployment management and performance management. Based on above researches, completes a developed platform for Electronic Agriculture with compatible J2EE standard...

A key element to API technologies is the gateway. This is a Server architecture that provides the interface between client requests and the network services. Whilst it is in the interests of simplicity and ease of implementation for the client server interface to be as straightforward as possible, special consideration must be given to the interface to maintain security, integrity, scalability ...
