The papers in this volume were presented at TMRA 2007, the International Conference on Topic Maps Research and Applications, held October 11–12, 2007, in Leipzig, Germany. TMRA 2007 was the third conference in an annual series of international conferences dedicated to Topic Maps in science and industry. The motto of TMRA 2007 was “Scaling Topic Maps.” Taken literally the motto implies developing Topic Maps approaches that scale to large data and user volumes. This is a very real and useful research problem which is addressed by many of the contributions to the conference. But there is an even broader interpretation of the motto: wide adoption of Topic Maps in academia and industry. This is an equally important problem, and one that the TMRA conference series exists to help solve. And there is a more fanciful view on the motto. To “scale” can also mean to climb, so for the attendees the conference provided a way to “scale the mountain of Topic Maps.” In all these ways TMRA 2007 helped to scale Topic Maps.
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed postproceedings of the Third International Workshop on Innovative Internet Community Systems, IICS 2003, held in Leipzig, Germany in June 2003. The 19 revised full papers presented together with 2 invited papers have gone through two rounds of reviewing and improvement and were selected from more than 30 submissions. Among the topics addressed are semantic search, network communities, e-learning, message-oriented middleware, networked information spaces, mobile business processes, distributed communication systems, distributed Web applications, semantic Web environments, file-sharing systems, network intrusion detection, protocols, self-organizing networks, XML, and linguistic knowledge services.
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the First International Workshop on Topic Map Research and Applications, held in October 2005. The 17 revised full papers and five revised short papers presented together with one invited lecture were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvement from more than 35 submissions. One of the goals of the workshop is to survey and structure the field of topic map research and the emerging topic map technologies.
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the Second International Conference on Topic Map Research and Applications, TMRA 2006, held in Leipzig, Germany in October 2006. It covers headed creation and visualization of topic maps, applied topic maps in industry, administration and sciences, standards related research, leveraging the semantics, technical issues of topic mapping, and social software with topic maps.
Blockchain is new-age technology used to track every transaction using cryptocurrency across servers linked in a peer-to-peer network, enabling transactions to be secure, transparent and reliable. Retaining an efficient, secure and patient-centric healthcare industry has never been so important, especially due to the damaging effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. The applicability of Blockchain in the healthcare domain can be seen as a remarkable opportunity for researchers and scientists to solve real-world problems. This book focuses on the fundamentals of Blockchain technology along with the methods of its integration with the healthcare industry. It also provides an enhanced understanding of Blockchain technology, AI and IoT across the various application areas of the healthcare industry. Furthermore, throughout the book, areas of relevant applications, such as patient data privacy protection, pharmaceutical supply chains and genomics are discussed.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Data Integration in the Life Sciences, DILS 2014, held in Lisbon, Portugal, in July 2014. The 9 revised full papers and the 5 short papers included in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 20 submissions. The papers cover a range of important topics such as data integration platforms and applications; biodiversity data management; ontologies and visualization; linked data and query processing.
This book tells the story of capacity building in Europe with respect to technology transfer offices and organizations (TTOs). The traditional underdevelopment of technology markets in Europe has often been explained in terms of lack of capacity and skills among technology transfer professionals, both as individuals and as part of TTOs. Because of the severe consequences for economic development and industrial growth, this situation has been repeatedly addressed by policy makers, until the European Commission, within the framework of Horizon 2020, decided to initiate a pan-European pilot project on capacity building. This book builds on the experience gained through that project and tries to...
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the Metainformatics Symposium, MIS 2004, held in Salzburg, Austria in September 2004. The 17 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. The papers are devoted to finding useful abstractions, notations, analytical frameworks, formalisms, and systems that improve the understanding of the underlying structure of various disciplines and families of systems within computer science.
Part of a four-volume set, this book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Computational Science, ICCS 2007, held in Beijing, China in May 2007. The papers cover a large volume of topics in computational science and related areas, from multiscale physics to wireless networks, and from graph theory to tools for program development.
Green technologies and energy-efficient practices have become two of the most prevalent issues in global society. However, many countries still lack the technology or resources needed to implement sustainable practices within their societies. Promoting Sustainable Practices through Energy Engineering and Asset Management discusses the challenges that the developing world faces when implementing and utilizing environmentally friendly techniques. This publication is a crucial reference source for managers, scientists, technology developers, and engineers interested in the adoption of sustainable practices in developing countries.
