The cloud computing is evolving as a key computing platform for sharing resources like infrastructure, platform, software etc. This has proven to be an essential requirement for extending many existing applications. Software as a service…
Technology acceptance models effectively predict how users will adopt new technology products. Traditional surveys, often expensive and cumbersome, are commonly used for this assessment. As an alternative to surveys, we explore the use of…
Today, data is growing at a tremendous rate and, according to the International Data Corporation, it is expected to reach 175 zettabytes by 2025. The International Data Corporation also forecasts that more than 150B devices will be…
This note clarifies the concept of syntax and semantics and their relationships. Today, a lot of confusion arises from the fact that the word "semantics" is used in different meanings. We discuss a general approach at defining semantics…
In this paper, we propose a framework to perform verification and validation of semantically annotated data. The annotations, extracted from websites, are verified against the schema.org vocabulary and Domain Specifications to ensure the…
As a result of the phenomenal proliferation of modern mobile Internet-enabled devices and the widespread utilization of wireless and cellular data networks, mobile users are increasingly requiring services tailored to their current context.…
Cloud computing systems promise to offer subscription-oriented, enterprise-quality computing services to users worldwide. With the increased demand for delivering services to a large number of users, they need to offer differentiated…
Cloud computing aims to power the next generation data centers and enables application service providers to lease data center capabilities for deploying applications depending on user QoS (Quality of Service) requirements. Cloud…
In today's Web, Web Services are created and updated on the fly. For answering complex needs of users, the construction of new web services based on existing ones is required. It has received a great attention from different communities.…
Semantic web information is at the extremities of long pipelines held by human beings. They are at the origin of information and they will consume it either explicitly because the information will be delivered to them in a readable way, or…
A large number of cloud middleware platforms and tools are deployed to support a variety of Internet of Things (IoT) data analytics tasks. It is a common practice that such cloud platforms are only used by its owners to achieve their…
Dynamic nature of the cloud environment has made distributed resource management process a challenge for cloud service providers. The importance of maintaining the quality of service in accordance with customer expectations as well as the…
A huge amount of information is produced in digital form. The Semantic Web stems from the realisation that dealing efficiently with this production requires getting better at interlinking digital informational resources together. Its focus…
Semantic properties are domain-specific specification constructs used to augment an existing language with richer semantics. These properties are taken advantage of in system analysis, design, implementation, testing, and maintenance…
Existing works on semantic segmentation typically consider a small number of labels, ranging from tens to a few hundreds. With a large number of labels, training and evaluation of such task become extremely challenging due to correlation…
Data heterogeneity hampers the effort to integrate and infer knowledge from vast heterogeneous data sources. An application case study is described, in which the objective was to semantically represent and integrate structured data from…
A critical function of an organization is to foster the level of integration (coordination and cooperation) necessary to achieve its objectives. The need to coordinate and motivation to cooperate emerges from the myriad dependencies between…
Widespread deployment of the Internet enabled building of an emerging IT delivery model, i.e., cloud computing. Albeit cloud computing-based services have rapidly developed, their security aspects are still at the initial stage of…
This paper presents a method for semantic indexing and describes its application in the field of knowledge representation. Starting point of the semantic indexing is the knowledge represented by concept hierarchies. The goal is to assign…
A lot of real-world phenomena are complex and cannot be captured by single task annotations. This causes a need for subsequent annotations, with interdependent questions and answers describing the nature of the subject at hand. Even in the…
