Abstract and Figures

Grid Computing is a platform for coordinated resource sharing and problem solving on a global scale among virtual organizations. Grid uses Grid Services to access and use a set of Grid resources. Subsequently, these Grid Services need to be discovered, selected and invoked quickly and efficiently to satisfy the needs of a demanding environment such as Grid. In this paper, we introduce how the Grid Computing takes advantage of the benefits of Semantic Web to manipulate Grid Services obtaining better searches, results and performance.

explains about the calculation of user side trust. The user get the recommendation from other entities, calculate the rank correlation and decides whether to accept the recommendations. If the rank correlation is positive he accepts. Otherwise he goes to the next feedback. Then he calculates the total trust. If the total trust is greater than the minimum threshold he chooses that provider. Fig 3 depicts the procedure for provider side trust.

Expanding the 'mobility' concept
Article
Full-text available
  • Dec 2001
During the last two decades of the twentieth century we have seen various transformations in our society as a whole. In particular, information and communication technologies (ICTs) have played a critical role in this transformation process. Because of their pervasiveness and our intensive use of them, ICTs have changed our ways of living in virtually all realms of our social lives. ICT is of course not the sole factor of this transformation; various "old" technologies have also played a significant part. Modern transportation technologies, for example, have become dramatically sophisticated in terms of effectiveness and usefulness since the early twentieth century. The train and airline infrastructures are highly integrated with ICTs such as electronic reservation systems and traffic control systems. It is therefore important to recognize that the fundamental nature of technological revolution in the late twentieth century is the dynamic and complex interplay between old and new technologies and between the reconfiguration of the technological fabric and its domestication [6, 27, 32, 40].This paper concerns the concept of mobility, which manifests such a transformation of our social lives combining new and old technologies. It is now widely argued that our life styles have become increasingly mobile in the sense that the speed of transportation and hence geographical reach within a given time span is dramatically augmented by modern technological developments and sophistication such as train and airplane systems. However, in spite of the upsurge of concern with mobility in our social lives, current research perspectives define the notion of mobility quite narrowly, exclusively in terms of humans' independency from geographical constraints. For example, Makimoto and Manners [28] argue that within the next decade or so, a large part of the facilities and tools at home and in the office will be reduced enough in size to be carried, making people "geographically independent" (p. 2) and that people who use such mobile technologies, it is claimed, will be "free to live where they want and travel as much as they want" (p. 6). Their arguments for the significance of mobility, or nomadicity, are clearly confined to the corporeal characteristic of human movement freed from geographical constraints thanks to mobile computing technologies and services such as mobile phones and personal digital assistants (PDAs). Likewise, most of research on mobility in the Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) field has been showing the same tendency [e.g. 5, 11].Considering such a confined situation of the debates on mobility looking only at human geographical movement, we reconsider in this paper the notion of mobility and try to expand our perspective towards it. To do so, we argue that "being mobile" is not just a matter of people traveling but, far more importantly, related to the interaction they perform --- the way in which they interact with each other in their social lives. New configurations of social-technical relationships resulting from the diffusion of ICTs afford various dimensions of mobility to humans' interactivity with others in their social lives. We here suggest expanding the concept of mobility by looking at three distinct dimensions of human interaction; namely, spatial, temporal and contextual mobility. These three dimensions of human interaction have been dramatically mobilized by intensive use of ICTs, especially mobile technologies, in our social lives in general and work environments in particular. In the following, we will discuss each of these three dimensions in detail and implications for future debates on mobility will be drawn.

Generating OWL ontologies from a relational databases for the semantic web
Article
Full-text available
  • Jan 2009
Web has given rise to vast unstructured and structured data and document. The vast information at different points of time needs to be accessed in meaningful way. Hence conversion of the current data into semantic web is the order of the day. The approach proposed in this paper helps to generate OWL-like definition which consists of classes, properties (Data & Object), restriction and instances from relational database model. This approach not only saves efforts in developing the semantic web from scratch but it also makes the vast amount of relational information on the web machine process able.

Speaker Verification in the Telephone Network : Research Activities in the CAVE Project
Conference Paper
Full-text available
  • Sep 1997
This paper summarizes the main results from the Speaker Verification (SV) research pursued so far in the CAVE project. Different state-of-the art SV algorithms were implemented in a common HMM framework and compared on two databases : YOHO (office environment speech) and SESP (telephone speech). This paper is concerned with the different design issues for LR-HMM-based SV algorithms which emerged from our investigations and which led to our current SV system, which delivers Equal Error Rates below 0.5 % on a very realistic telephone speech database.

Business mobility: A changing ecosystem
Article
  • Apr 2008
This paper examines the evolution of the still-nascent business mobility ecosystem and its key drivers, such as consumer behavior, that shape the segment. It also explores the changing roles and relationships of the ecosystem's key players; projections for growth in business mobility; and the value or ROI of business mobility. It offers advice to businesses that are considering business mobility solutions. And it points out a number of changes that members of the business mobility ecosystem will need to make in order for business mobility to evolve to the point of fruition, where companies are willingly ready to purchase solutions as a strategic investment, and where the solutions are as solid but also as flexible and easy to buy and integrate in a heterogeneous, global market. Lastly, the paper takes a look at a few large companies that have made significant steps toward strategic and holistic adoption of business mobility.

A synchronous checkpointing protocol for mobile distributed systems: probabilistic approach
Article
  • Jan 2007
  • Int J Inform Comput Secur
Coordinated checkpointing is a method that minimises number of processes to checkpoint for an initiation. It may require blocking of processes, extra synchronisation messages or useless checkpoints. We propose a minimum process coordinated checkpointing algorithm where the number of useless checkpoints and blocking are reduced using a probabilistic approach that computes an interacting set of processes on checkpoint initiation. A process checkpoints if the probability that it will get a checkpoint request in current initiation is high. A few processes may be blocked but they can continue their normal computation and may send messages. We also modified methodology to maintain exact dependencies.

Enterprise mobility: Researching a new Paradigm
Article
  • Jan 2008
The proliferation of mobile information and communication technologies has led to a profound change in the way people work, communicate, and collaborate and conduct business. However, businesses today are just beginning to recognize the importance and potentially transformative impact of enterprise mobility. While the concept of enterprise mobility continues to emerge in the management and technology literatures, it is still not well understood. This special issue brings together global, multi-disciplinary perspectives from leading scholars and practitioners on the value and transformative impact of enterprise mobility on work, technology, and organizations, discusses critical enablers and strategies, and provides case study insights.

Consumer-based M-commerce: Exploring consumer perception of mobile applications
Article
  • Apr 2005
  • COMPUT STAND INTER
With m-commerce still in its infancy, there have been relatively few attempts to systematically explore the opportunities and challenges posed by m-commerce. This study is an early attempt aims to provide empirical data on consumer perception of mobile applications. This paper first examines the value proposition of mobility. It then investigates m-commerce operation modes and potential consumer-based applications. A consumer perception survey was conducted to reveal the attributes that are perceived as important by consumers for making m-commerce choices. Results provide company executives with useful insights into m-commerce applications and their commercial potentials.
