The information processing of user situation (or user's context) is one of the most significant paradigms in end user telecommunication services development. There are many actors that will play a role, from context providers, acquiring context, to context consumers, context-aware services. Telco operators are the most adequate player to take the role of context aggregators and processors. That is based on the convergence and interoperability of the Next Generation Networks (NGN). Based on NGN capabilities, different domains can interoperate in order to acquire and consume user's context information of different nature. In this paper a global analysis of the technological situation is provided, followed by the architecture of the whole user's context management system proposed. Such system is based on the deployment of a hosted entity, the Convergent Context Enabler (CCE). Specific details are provided about the user's context processing and the interfaces designed to support the elements interworking. Finally, some examples of context-aware services are presented and its signaling flows are analyzed in detail.

Different technologies are used to build different projects in the same organization. Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is the data bridge between incompatible technologies. It is considered the most important technology for integration. A service modeling technique based on the suggested healthcare service patterns has been applied on an Egyptian public healthcare case study where SOA is used for integrating the hospitals through an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB). Interactions between different hospitals through a governmental portal are known as Government to Government (G2G) services that are similar to Business to Business (B2B) e-commerce transactions but it is on the governmental level. This paper will cover the analysis and design of public healthcare integration services and their orchestration over the governmental ESB portal. The service patterns are the contribution of this paper and they resemble healthcare activities invoked by five major actors; the government as facilitator, the producers to cover the doctors and nurses, the healthcare providers represented in hospitals and clinics, the health intermediaries to include health insurance companies and pharmacies and finally the patient. Re-usability, abstraction, loose coupling and scalability are the software metrics used in this study to ensure that the proposed patterns are generic to any kind of public healthcare application.
不同的技术用于在同一组织中构建不同的项目。面向服务的体系结构(SOA)是不兼容技术之间的数据桥梁。它被认为是集成中最重要的技术。基于建议的医疗保健服务模式的服务建模技术已应用于埃及公共医疗保健案例研究,其中使用SOA通过企业服务总线(Enterprise service Bus, ESB)集成医院。不同医院之间通过政府门户进行的互动被称为政府对政府(G2G)服务,类似于企业对企业(B2B)电子商务交易,但它是在政府层面。本文将介绍公共医疗保健集成服务的分析和设计及其在政府ESB门户上的编排。服务模式是本文的贡献,它们类似于由五个主要参与者调用的医疗保健活动;作为促进者的政府、涵盖医生和护士的生产者、医院和诊所代表的保健提供者、包括健康保险公司和药房在内的保健中介,最后是病人。可重用性、抽象、松耦合和可伸缩性是本研究中使用的软件度量标准,以确保所建议的模式对任何类型的公共医疗保健应用程序都是通用的。

This paper analyzes the characteristics of an experimental otolith retrieval system based on image contours described with Elliptical Fourier Descriptors (EFD). Otoliths are found in the inner ear of fish. Their shape can be analyzed to determine sex, age, populations and species, and thus they can provide necessary and relevant information for ecological studies. The system we propose was tested by identifying three different species, Engraulis encrasicolus from the family Engraulidae, Pomadasys incisus from the family Haemulidae, and two populations of the species Merluccius merluccius (from Catalonia and Galicia) from the family Merlucciidae. We focus on the search engine, experimenting with two cases and analyzing the feature selection obtained with the EFD coefficients.

IT benchmarking has grown considerably in the last few years, and conventional benchmarking tools cannot respond well to the rapid changes in technology and paradigm changes in IT-related domains. This paper aims to review benchmarking methods and leverage design science methodology to present design elements for a novel software solution in the field of IT benchmarking. The solution is based on and refined by a comprehensive case study that involved large enterprises. In this paper, we first review the theoretical background in the literature and highlight challenges within benchmarking processes in general and benchmarking of IT services in particular. We then explain how the initial design elements were extracted based on these initial findings and a case study that was conducted with a group of 15 large enterprises that were actively performing off-line IT benchmarking to enhance their processes. The case study together with interviews with the supporting consulting firm helped us find out how an online software solution can address the existing complexities. A software solution based on the initial set of design elements was then provided to enable companies to support, ease, and evaluate their IT-benchmarking process. Finally, the design elements were refined according to users' feedback.

Most researches on Image Retrieval (IR) have aimed at clearing away noisy images and allowing users to search only acceptable images for a target object specified by its object-name. We have become able to get enough acceptable images of a target object just by submitting its object-name to a conventional keyword-based Web image search engine. However, because the search results rarely include its uncommon images, we can often get only its common images and cannot easily get exhaustive knowledge about its appearance (look and feel). As next steps of IR, it is very important to discriminate between “Typical Images” and “Peculiar Images” in the acceptable images, and moreover, to collect many different kinds of peculiar images exhaustively. This paper proposes a method to search the Web for peculiar images by expanding or modifying a target object-name (as an original query) with its hyponyms based on hand-made concept hierarchies such as WordNet and Wikipedia.

QoS routing is used for finding feasible paths that satisfy simultaneously multiple constraints and it is a NP-complete problem. The difficulty of solving such problems increases in the hierarchical context, where aggregation techniques influence the path computation process. This paper offers a solution for hierarchical QoS routing by introducing the protocol called Multi-constrained Macro-routing. This protocol uses Macro-routing protocol with the Extended Full-Mesh aggregation technique to determine multiple hierarchical QoS routes. Tests presented here prove that Multi-constrained Macro-routing out-performs any other hierarchical routing protocol that uses the Full-Mesh aggregation by finding better and more QoS paths.

Developing Multi-Agent Systems for Real-Time environments is a complex task. If the foundations are well settled in the students, it is desirable that they spend most of the time for their projects focused on the algorithms and design and code of the system, not with the Real-Time system implementation details. A toolkit has been used to teach a subject of the Pattern Recognition, Artificial Intelligence and Computer Vision Master's degree, to ease the task of developing such systems. The evaluation of the experience with the students shows that is a very convenient toolkit for this purpose.

During the last few years, the amount of online newspapers has reached reasonable dimension for many cities in the world. Such enriched information can now support semantic analysis of space, particularly in which respects to what places are covered all over the world news and what happens there. We present a system to automatically extract places of the most important newspapers covers in order to visualize them in a World projection. The newspapers analysed are the New York Times (USA), Le Monde (France), Morgen (Belgium), ABC (Spain), Il Giornale (Italy), Haberturk (Turkey), Tages Anzeiger (Swiss), Dagens Hyheter (Sweden), Telegraph (United Kingdom), Jornal de Noticias (Portugal), AD (Netherlands), Irish Examiner (Ireland), Gulf News (Arab Emirates), The Times of India (India), Haaretx (Israel), Sydney Morning Herald (Australia), Asahi (Japan), Reforma (Mexico), La Razón (Argentina), El Comercio (Peru), The Times (South African) and The Mercury (South African). To achieve this we use a Geoparsing Web Service to extract geographic coordinates from the online covers. Once geographic coordinates are extracted by using eXtensible Markup Language (XML) we draw the geo-positions and link the documents into a map image in order to visualize the places and the news concerning each place. It is possible, also, to search the title of the news according to a concept selected by the user.
