Describing the technologies to combine language resources flexibly as web services, this book provides valuable case studies for those who work in services computing, language resources, human–computer interaction (HCI), computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW), and service science. The authors have been operating the Language Grid, which wraps existing language resources as atomic language services and enables users to compose new services by combining them. From architecture level to service composition level, the book explains how to resolve infrastructural and operational difficulties in sharing and combining language resources, including interoperability of language service infrastr...
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 26th International Conference on Collaboration Technologies and Social Computing, CollabTech 2020. The conference was scheduled to take place in Tartu, Estonia, in September 2020. It was held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The 10 full and 5 work-in-progress papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 25 submissions.
Arti?cial intelligence has recently been re-energized to provide the clues needed to resolve complicated problems. AI is also expected to play a central role in enhancing a wide variety of daily activities. JSAI (The Japanese Society for Arti?cial Intelligence) is responsible for boosting the activities of AI researchers in Japan, and their series of annual conferences o?ers attractive forums for the exposition of the latest achievements and inter-group communication. In the past, the best papers of the conferences were published in the LNAI series. This book consists of award papers from the 22nd annual conference of the JSAI (JSAI 2008) and selected papers from the three co-located worksho...
This proceedings LNCS 13518 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction, HCII 2022, which was held virtually as part of the 24th International Conference, HCII 2022, in June/July 2022. HCII 2022 received a total of 5583 submissions from academia, research institutes, industry, and governmental agencies from 88 countries submitted contributions, and 1276 papers and 275 posters were included in the proceedings that were published just before the start of the conference. Additionally, 296 papers and 181 posters are included in the volumes of the proceedings published after the conference, as “Late Breaking Work” (papers and posters). The contributions thoroughly cover the entire field of human-computer interaction, addressing major advances in knowledge and effective use of computers in a variety of application areas.
Autonomous agents and multi-agent systems are computational systems in which several (semi-)autonomous agents interact with each other or work together to perform some set of tasks or satisfy some set of goals. These systems may involve computational agents that are homogeneous or heterogeneous, they may involve activities on the part of agents having common or distinct goals, and they may involve participation on the part of humans and intelligent agents. This volume contains selected papers from PRIMA 2002, the 5th Paci?c Rim International Workshop on Multi-Agents, held in Tokyo, Japan, on August 18–19, 2002 in conjunction with the 7th Paci?c Rim International Conference on Arti?cial Int...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th International Conference, ICSOC 2010, held in San Francisco, CA, USA, in December 2010. The 33 revised full papers and three full industry papers, presented together with 18 short papers, three PhD symposium posters and four regular posters, were carefully reviewed and selected from 238 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on Service and Business Process Modeling; Service Management; Quality of Service; Service Science and Design; Service Development and Run-time Management; High-level Description Languages; Service Level Agreements; Service Engineering Methodologies; Service Security, Privacy, and Trust; Business Service Modeling; Formal Methods; and Service Applications.
The increasing importance of intelligent agents and their impact on industry/business worldwide is well documented through academic research papers and industrial reports. There is a strong affinity between the Web a worldwide distributed computing environment and the capability of intelligent agents to act on and through software. The ultimate goal of intelligent agents is to accelerate the evolution of the Web from a passive, static medium to a tuned, highly valued environment. This volume contains selected papers from PRIMA 2001, the fourth Pacific Rim International Workshop on Multi-Agents, held in Taipei, Taiwan, July 28-29, 2001. In this volume, the papers cover specification, modeling...
This book explores key examples concerning the implementation of information technology and mathematical modeling to solve issues concerning environmental sustainability. The examples include using fuzzy weighted multivariate regression to predict the water quality index at Perak River in Malaysia; using wireless sensor networks (WSNs) for a remote river water pollution monitoring system; deriving biomass activated carbon from oil palm shell; and assessing the performance of a PV/T air solar collector. The book offers a valuable resource for all graduate students and researchers who are working in this rapidly growing area.
This book provides a useful overall guide to the state of the art in theory and practice of services. It can also serve as a reference book for researchers in various fields, including engineering, marketing, economics, and other disciplines. Advanced works presented here were selected from the proceedings of the Second International Conference on Serviceology (ICServ2014), held September 14–16, 2014. This book helps readers to understand serviceology, which tackles with a broad range of services, the globalization of the economy and also enhances the quality of life of local residents.
