Coordinate compounding in English and Spanish
2011
Coordinate compounding is a process which has been only sporadically considered in wordformation studies on Germanic and Romance languages. In this paper, we compare the situation in English with that in Spanish as far as formal structure and semantics are concerned. To this end, an operational definition of coordinate compounding is first provided, after which a semantic classification of coordinate compounds is developed. For each type, variants are discussed, representative examples are provided, and similarities and dissimilarities between the two languages are highlighted. We finish by raising the issues of recursiveness and productivity in coordinate compounding and we examine the pos…
Global Understanding Environment: Towards Self-managed Web of Everything
2012
Current Web grows rapidly to several directions (from the Web of Documents to the Webs of Humans, Things, Services, Knowledge, Intelligence, etc.). Consequently the recent and future Web-based applications, systems and frameworks (like, e.g., Social and Ubiquitous Computing, SOA and Cloud Computing, etc.) should take into account challenges related to extremely high heterogeneity of components and exponentially increased complexity of a business logic connecting and making them interoperable. Enabling self-management enhanced with semantic technology seems to be an only option to handle that. We suggest adding a "virtual representative" to every resource in the Web to solve the global inter…
Ontonuts: Reusable Semantic Components for Multi-agent Systems
2009
The volumes of data in information systems are growing drastically. The systems become increasingly complex in trying to handle heterogeneity of ubiquitous components, standards, data formats, etc. According to the vision of Autonomic Computing, the complexity can be handled by introducing self-manageable components able to "run themselves." Agent Technology fits this vision, whereas interoperability among autonomic components can be tackled by Semantic Technologies. The problem of efficient heterogeneous data sharing, exchange and reuse within such systems plays a key role. We present an approach of constructing semantic capabilities (self-descriptive functional components) for software ag…
Mobile agents and knowledge discovery in ubiquitous computing
2004
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses a knowledge discovery strategy to be performed by mobile agents in an augmented reality (AR) scenario. AR entities are implemented by mobile agents who perform all the behaviors of cooperating entities. Among other tasks, mobile agents implement a resource discovery strategy, which is aimed at filling lacking entities with missing methods and knowledge rules. A three layer entity description model and a cooperation mechanism are discussed, which allow knowledge and methods to be shared between entities in augmented reality. Three layers host three different projection descriptions of an AR entity respectively are: (1) a semantic projection for knowle…
A Security Framework for Smart Ubiquitous Industrial Resources
2007
Conventional approaches to manage and control security seem to have reached their limits in new complex environments. These environments are open, dynamic, heterogeneous, distributed, self-managing, collaborative, international, nomadic, and ubiquitous. We are currently working on a middleware platform focused on the industrial needs, UBIWARE. UBIWARE integrates Ubiquitous Computing with Semantic Web, Distributed AI, Security and Privacy, and Enterprise Application Integration. In this paper, we describe our long-term vision for the security and privacy management in complex multi-agent systems like UBIWARE, SURPAS. The security infrastructure has to become pervasive, interoperable and inte…
Extracting Features from Social Media Networks Using Semantics
2016
This paper focuses on the analysis of social media content generated by social networks (e.g. Twitter) in order to extract semantic features. By using text categorization to sort text feeds into categories of similar feeds, it has been proved to reduce the overhead that is required to retrieve these feeds and at the same time, it provides smaller pools in which further investigations can be made easier. The aim of this survey is to draw a user profile, by analysing his or her tweets. In this early stage of research, being a pre-processing phase, a dictionary based approach is considered. Moreover, the paper describes an algorithm used in analysing the text and its preliminary results. This …

Ontology-based clinical decision support system applied on diabetes
2017
Master's thesis Information- and communication technology IKT590 - University of Agder 2017 Medical diagnosis is a multi-step process which is complex as it requires the consideration of many factors. Additionally, the accuracy of diagnosis varies depending on the skill and knowledge a physician has in the medical field. Using ICT solution, the physicians can be assisted so that they can make an accurate decision. Many applications have been developed to enhance physician performance and improve the patient outcome, however, the quality of these applications varies depending on knowledge representation methodology and reasoning approach adopted. Nowadays, ontology is being used in many clin…
Binomiālo frāžu veidi juridiskajos dokumentos
2017
Šajā Bakalaura darbā tiek izpētīts binomiālo frāžu pielietojums juridiskajos dokumentos. Ņemot vērā ka binomiālās frāzes tiek atzītas par neatņemamu un svarīgu juridiskās Angļu valodas aspektu, tuvāka šī temata izpēte tika pieņemta par cienīgu un aktuālu. Veiktā pētījuma teorētiskā daļa nodrošina teorētisko fonu attiecoties uz pētījuma jautājumiemun tēmām kā arī uz piemērotajām empīrisko metožu pētījumu analīzēm. Empīriskie pētījumi tika veikti ar primāro mērķi noskaidrot visus iespējamos binomiālo frāžu veidus balstoties uz to pielietojumu 50 dažādu žanru juridiskajos dokumentos. Šim nolūkam, komponentāla semantisko iezīmju analīze tika piemērota lai atbilstoši klasificētu binomus noteiktā…
Augstskolu gada pārskatu diahroniskā analīze
2022
Komunikācija ir jebkuras organizācijas nozīmīga daļa, tai skaitā arī augstskolu. Valodas pielietojuma analīzes augstskolu diskursos līdz šim veiktas tikai mājaslapām un brošūrām; gadu pārskati nav pētīti. Bakalaura darba mērķis ir analizēt LU Attīstības stratēģijā (2015. – 2020.) norādīto septiņu vērtību atspoguļojumu 2018., 2019. un 2020. gada pārskatā. Darba teorētiskajā daļā tiek izmantota integrējošā literatūras pārskatu metode un empīriskajā daļā tiek apspriesta pētījumā veiktā satura analīze. Analīzes rezultāti norāda, ka visos trīs pārskatos cilvēku un sadarbības vērtības ir ar lielāko leksisko vienību skaitu, no kā tiek secināts, ka tās ir visvairāk uzsvērtās.
