Much medical knowledge is contained within available literature, such as clinical guidelines and protocols. Recently, an interest has been developed in automatic content extraction to construct ontologies of this knowledge to make it more widely available. With groups of domain experts distributed geographically, and the growing amount of medical literature, an important challenge is to develop collaborative workflows to support ways for domain experts to contribute in the ontology learning process. This paper presents a collaborative workflow for ontology learning based on coupling an Ontology Learning Tool (OntoLancs) with and Ontology engineer (Protégé) to provide semi-automatic support for text mining and a collaborative tool to model formal ontologies. The work presented in this paper was evaluated with a case study on a Clinical Practice Guideline of Diabetic Retinopathy. The major benefits of coupling OntoLancs with Protégé are: a) a higher level of automation in the creation of domain ontologies and models, and b) strengthened communication and information exchange among domain experts that are physically distributed. Validations of user experiences indicate the applicability of our approach.

This paper addresses the problem of introducing variability in goal-based requirements. The proposed approach adopts and extends the KAOS goal oriented metamodel with variability concepts. The resulting metamodel is then used to model common and variable requirements at goal level. The application domain is the Cycab, a public vehicle with fully automated driving capability.

The economies of virtual worlds are driven by the exchange of virtual good and services. These goods are available in the form of image textures, 3D objects, and scripts. The theft or unauthorized use of these goods was and still is a serious problem for virtual world users and content providers. In our work we try to point out various aspects of IPR violations in virtual worlds and suggest a platform for detection inspired by plagiarism detection services in real world.

As the deployment of wireless sensor networks increase and their application domain widens, the opportunity for effective use of XML filtering and streaming query engines is ever more present. XML filtering engines aim to provide efficient real-time querying of streaming XML encoded data. This paper provides a detailed analysis of several such engines, focusing on the technology involved, their capabilities, their support for XPath and their performance. Our experimental evaluation identifies which filtering engine is best suited to process a given query based on its properties. Such metrics are important in establishing the best approach to filtering XML streams on-the-fly.

Information systems become ubiquitous. This opens a large spectrum of the possibilities for the end-users, but the design complexity is increasing. Therefore insuring quality during design is more than ever a challenge. In this article, we study this challenge by identifying the specificities of ubiquitous computing design and by considering the influence of these specificities on the quality of the various aspects of information system design (models, languages, processes and tools). For each aspect, we discuss its requirements on quality and present related works valuable for the definition and the evaluation of ubiquitous information system design quality.

Engineering models are computer-based models that enclose technical data issued from engineering domains. Those models usually implicit many of the details required to understand and interpret the data. In this context, integrating the results of models and querying the heterogeneous information is a challenge.
