A taxonomy of the coordination mechanisms for the synchronization and communication of concurrent processes is proposed. The taxonomy deals with the issues of a real-time software architecture that are application domain independent. The taxonomy will help the designer to find the appropriate coordination mechanisms for building a real-time domain specific software architecture. Features Orient...

BACKGROUND Chaplains are increasingly seen as key members of interdisciplinary palliative care teams, yet the specific interventions and hoped for outcomes of their work are poorly understood. This project served to develop a standard terminology inventory for the chaplaincy field, to be called the chaplaincy taxonomy. METHODS The research team used a mixed methods approach to generate, evalu...

Attacks over the years have become both increasingly numerous and sophisticated. This paper focuses on the provisioning of a method for the analysis and categorisation of both computer and network attacks, thus providing assistance in combating new attacks, improving computer and network security as well as providing consistency in language when describing attacks. Such a taxonomy is designed t...

As more and more multilingual knowledge becomes available on the Web, knowledge sharing across languages has become an important task to benefit many applications. One of the most crucial kinds of knowledge on the Web is taxonomy, which is used to organize and classify the Web data. To facilitate knowledge sharing across languages, we need to deal with the problem of cross-lingual taxonomy alig...

OBJECTIVE To develop a taxonomy of doctors' questions about patient care that could be used to help answer such questions. DESIGN Use of 295 questions asked by Oregon primary care doctors to modify previously developed taxonomy of 1101 clinical questions asked by Iowa family doctors. SETTING Primary care practices in Iowa and Oregon. PARTICIPANTS Random samples of 103 Iowa family doctors ...

The purpose of this research was to develop a taxonomy of adaptive job performance and examine the implications of this taxonomy for understanding, predicting, and training adaptive behavior in work settings. Two studies were conducted to address this issue. In Study 1, over 1,000 critical incidents from 21 different jobs were content analyzed to identify an 8-dimension taxonomy of adaptive per...

Revisiting the now de facto standard Stanford dependency representation, we propose an improved taxonomy to capture grammatical relations across languages, including morphologically rich ones. We suggest a two-layered taxonomy: a set of broadly attested universal grammatical relations, to which language-specific relations can be added. We emphasize the lexicalist stance of the Stanford Dependen...

This paper proposed a five dimensional taxonomy ADMIT which captures five major classifiers to characterize the nature of attacks. These are classification by attack vector, classification by defense, classification by method, classification by impact and classification by attack target. The classification structure of proposed taxonomy described the nature of attacks thoroughly. The administra...

Taxonomy of prokaryotes has remained a controversial discipline due to the extreme plasticity of microorganisms, causing inconsistencies between phenotypic and genotypic classifications. The genomics era has enhanced taxonomy but also opened new debates about the best practices for incorporating genomic data into polyphasic taxonomy protocols, which are fairly biased towards the identification ...

The NCBI Taxonomy database (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/taxonomy) is the standard nomenclature and classification repository for the International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration (INSDC), comprising the GenBank, ENA (EMBL) and DDBJ databases. It includes organism names and taxonomic lineages for each of the sequences represented in the INSDC's nucleotide and protein sequence database...
