Hypothesis-Based Collaborative Filtering
Recommender systems have emerged to help individuals with finding interesting products. As a result, the consumer welfare enhances due to the increased product variety. In other words, recommender systems are essential for increasing consumers welfare, which ultimately leads to an increase of economic and social welfare.Typically, recommender systems use the collective wisdom of individuals for exposing individuals to products which best fits their preferences. More precisely, the most like-minded individuals are considered by the recommender system to provide individuals recommendations. This is commonly referred to as collaborative filtering.In this dissertation, we present hypothesis-based collaborative filtering (HCF) to expose individuals to products which best fits their preferences. HCF retrieves like-minded individuals based on the similarity of their hypothesized preferences by means of machine learning algorithms hypothesizing individuals' preferences.
Software Composition
The goal of the International Symposia on Software Composition is to advance the state of the research in component-based software development. We focus on the challenges related to component development, reuse, veri?cation and, of course,composition.Softwarecompositionisbecomingmoreandmoreimportant as innovation in software engineering shifts from the development of individual components to their reuse and recombination in novel ways. To this end, for the 2008 edition, researchers were solicited to contribute on topics related to component adaptation techniques, composition languages, calculi and type systems, as well as emerging composition techniques such as aspect-oriented programming, s...
The Semantic Web: Research and Applications
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th European Semantic Web Conference, ESWC 2008, held in Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain, in June 2008. The 51 revised full papers presented together with 3 invited talks and 25 system description papers were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 270 submitted papers. The papers are organized in topical sections on agents, application ontologies, applications, formal languages, foundational issues, learning, ontologies and natural language, ontology alignment, query processing, search, semantic Web services, storage and retrieval of semantic Web data, as well as user interfaces and personalization.
Software Composition
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th International Symposium on Software Composition, SC 2009, held in Zurich, Switzerland, in July 2009. The workshop has been organized as an event co-located with the TOOLS Europe 2009 conference. The 10 revised full papers presented together with 2 invited lectures were carefully reviewed and selected from 34 submissions. The papers reflect current research in software composition to foster developing of composition models and techniques by using aspect- and service-oriented programming, specification of component contracts and protocols, methods of correct components composition, as well as verification, validation and testing techniques - even in pervasive computing environments and for the Web.
The Semantic Web - ISWC 2009
As the Web continues to grow, increasing amounts of data are being made available for human and machine consumption. This emerging Semantic Web is rapidly entering the mainstream and, as a result, a variety of new solutions for searching, aggregating and the intelligent delivery of information are being produced,bothinresearchandcommercialsettings.Severalnewchallengesarise from this context, both from a technical and human–computer interaction p- spective – e.g., as issues to do with the scalability andusability of Semantic Web solutions become particularly important. The International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC) is the major inter- tional forum where the latest research results and technical innovations on all aspects of the Semantic Web are presented. ISWC brings together researchers, practitioners, and users from the areas of arti?cial intelligence, databases, social networks,distributedcomputing,Webengineering,informationsystems,natural language processing, soft computing, and human–computer interaction to d- cuss the major challenges and proposed solutions, success stories and failures, as well the visions that can advance the ?eld.
Fundamental Approaches to Software Engineering
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Fundamental Approaches to Software Engineering, FASE 2008, held in Budapest, Hungary, in March/April 2008 as part of ETAPS 2008, the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software. The 26 revised full papers presented together with 5 tool demonstrations were carefully reviewed and selected from 119 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on requirements and architectures, models and model transformations, conceptual models and UML, service engineering and adaptable services, verification and testing, and objects and components.
The Semantic Web: Research and Applications
This volume contains papers from the technical program of the 6th European Semantic Web Conference (ESWC 2009), held from May 31 to June 4, 2009, in Heraklion, Greece. ESWC 2009 presented the latest results in research and applications of Semantic Web technologies. In addition to the technical research track, ESWC 2009 featured a tutorial program, a PhD symposium, a system demo track, a poster track, a number of collocated workshops, and for the ?rst time in the series a Semantic Web in-use track exploring the bene?ts of applying Semantic Web technology in real-life applications and contexts. Thetechnical researchpaper trackreceivedover250submissions.The review process was organized using a two-tiered system, where each submission was reviewed by at least three members of the Program Committee. Vice Program CommitteeChairsorganizedadiscussionbetweenreviewers,collectedadditional reviews when necessary and provided a metareview for each submission. During a physical Program Committee meeting, the Vice Program Committee Chairs together with the Program Chairs selected 45 research papers to be presented at the conference.
API Economy 101
API is technology and digital product used for artificial intelligence, platform economy, and internet. It has the capability to change business models dramatically. APIs (application programming interfaces) are becoming a major competitive factor for companies. This book takes on the fundamental questions of API Economy and approaches the subject pragmatically and clearly without technical jargon. The book clarifies the birth and shape of the API Economy with numerous practical examples. This is the first API Economy book based on scientific references. Originally this popular book was written in Finnish. It is a great start for students and advanced professionals alike. After reading this book, you will understand what it is all about and how to move forward and grow your business with APIs. The authors are leading Finnish API-experts with an abundance of experience from API and platform economy as authors, researchers, and lecturers and consultants.
