hype cycle is notable technique for plotting and
identifying waves of innovation and hype in technology

we can see the waves of innovation becoming
increasingly shorter, the troughs less deep and the
peaks of expectations higher. The read-write
revolution, that is arguably known as Web 2.0, has
transformed our experience of using the Internet from a
source of information to a means of communication and
participation. It has introduced mirror worlds, the
cloud, wikitecture, social shaping, connected places,
folksonomies and many other terms that I am sure many
of us have used in recent grant applications and

instantiated within a common geospatial discovery

cost, an advanced communication technology, but also a
limited amount of energy. Energy efficient strategies
are required in such networks to maximize network
lifetime. In this paper, we focus on a solution
integrating energy efficient routing and node activity
scheduling. The energy efficient routing we propose,
called EOLSR, selects the route and minimizes the
energy consumed by an end-to-end transmission, while
avoiding nodes with low residual energy. Simulation
results show that EOLSR outperforms the solution
selecting the route of minimum energy as well as the
solution based on node residual energy. Cross-layering
allows EOLSR to use information from the application
layer or the MAC layer to reduce its overhead and
increase network lifetime. Node activity scheduling is
based on the following observation: the sleep state is
the least power consuming state. So, to schedule node
active and sleeping periods, we propose SERENA that
colors all network nodes using a small number of
colors, such that two nodes with the same color can
transmit without interfering. The node color is mapped
into a time slot during which the node can transmit.
Consequently, each node is awake during its slot and
the slots of its one-hop neighbors, and sleeps in the
remaining time. We evaluate SERENA benefits obtained in
terms of bandwidth, delay and energy. We also show how
cross-layering with the application layer can improve
the end-to-end delays for data gathering

the individualization of services and the assurance of

them to propose an integrated approach to assure QoS by

amount of contents at the lowest cost. At present IPTV
uses IP multicast to deliver live TV channels in an
over-provisioned walled-garden network due to issues of
deploying multicast and QoS challenges in the public

maintains a table of all of the multicast addresses to

create a new incentivised premium service in future

to minimise network bandwidth requirements as it
enables ISPs to optimise bandwidth on their edge

content consumes more and more bandwidth, especially
with the onset of HD and 3D capabilities. In this

abstract = "Deficit Round Robin (DRR) is a fair packet-based
scheduling discipline commonly used in wired networks
where link capacities do not change with time. However,
in wireless networks, especially wireless broadband
networks, i.e., IEEE 802.16e Mobile WiMAX, there are
two main considerations violate the packet-based
service concept for DRR. First, the resources are
allocated per Mobile WiMAX frame. To achieve full frame
utilization, Mobile WiMAX allows packets to be
fragmented. Second, due to a high variation in wireless
channel conditions, the link/channel capacity can
change over time and location. Therefore, we introduce
a Deficit Round Robin with Fragmentation (DRRF) to
allocate resources per Mobile WiMAX frame in a fair
manner by allowing for varying link capacity and for
transmitting fragmented packets. Similar to DRR and
Generalized Processor Sharing (GPS), DRRF achieves
perfect fairness. DRRF results in a higher throughput
than DRR (80\% improvement) while causing less overhead
than GPS (8 times less than GPS). In addition, in
Mobile WiMAX, the quality of service (QoS) offered by
service providers is associated with the price paid.
This is similar to a cellular phone system; the users
may be required to pay air-time charges. Hence, we have
also formalized a Generalized Weighted Fairness (GWF)
criterion which equalizes a weighted sum of service
time units or slots, called temporal fairness, and
transmitted bytes, called throughput fairness, for
customers who are located in a poor channel condition
or at a further distance versus for those who are near
the base stations, or have a good channel condition. We
use DRRF to demonstrate the application of GWF. These
fairness criteria are used to satisfy basic
requirements for resource allocation, especially for
non real-time traffic. Therefore, we also extend DRRF
to support other QoS requirements, such as minimum
reserved traffic rate, maximum sustained traffic rate,
and traffic priority. For real-time traffic, i.e.,
video traffic, we compare the performance of DRRF with
deadline enforcement to that of Earliest Deadline First
(EDF). The results show that DRRF outperforms EDF
(higher achievable throughput under the promised delay
latency) and maintains fairness under an overload
scenario.",

we present the combination of SERENA, a new node

with TDMA/CA, a collision avoidance MAC protocol. We
show that the combination of these two protocols
enables substantial bandwidth and energy benefits for
both general and data gathering applications. As a
first contribution, we prove that the three-hop node
coloring problem is NP-complete. As a second
contribution, the overhead induced by SERENA during
network coloring is reduced, making possible the use of
these protocols even in dense networks with limited
bandwidth. The third contribution of this paper is to
show that applying any slot assignment algorithm with
spatial reuse based on node neighborhood without taking
into account link quality can lead to poor performances
because of collisions. The use of good quality links
will prevent this phenomenon. The fourth contribution
consists of optimizing end-to-end delays for data
gathering applications, by means of cross-layering with
the application. However, color conflicts resulting
from topology changes, mobility and late node arrivals
can give rise to collisions. As a fifth contribution,
we show how the MAC layer can detect color conflicts,
and cope with them at the cost of a slightly reduced
throughput. Then, we discuss the tradeoff between
requesting SERENA to solve the color conflicts and
dealing with them at the MAC layer, our third
contribution. The combination of SERENA and TDMA/CA is
evaluated through simulations on realistic

To achieve this goal the individual Information

Information Behavior, and in several works researchers
have referred to it as the study on what people do
during a search on the Web. Generally, the user's

another, or her/his download of a document, etc.) are
recorded in Web logs. This paper reports on research
activities which aim to exploit the information
extracted from Web logs (or query logs) in personalized
user ontologies, with the objective to support the user
in the process of discovering Web information relevant
to her/his information needs. Personalized ontologies
are used to improve the quality of Web search by
applying two main techniques: query reformulation and
re-ranking of query evaluation results. In this paper
we analyze various methodologies presented in the

The surrogate hides the underlying network

externally to other Enterprises via the Internet in
ways that are increasingly difficult to manage,
especially as these interconnections become more
dynamic. Current methods of coordinating the effects of
change as they propagate through these networks of
connections are not likely to scale. What is needed is
a new paradigm for how the Internet supports such
coordination. Indeed, the Internet should and could
provide fundamental coordination functions that are
missing today. In this paper, we describe how such a
``Coordinated Internet'' would work (this paper is an
expanded version of [1]). The key functionality of a
Coordinated Internet would be that the Internet
actively watches what people do (analogous to search
completion on desktops today), correlates these
activities, and actively notifies people when and how
their current tasks affect and are affected by the
activities of other people. This would be accomplished
by standard coordination functions implemented as a
common Internet layer that can be used as a utility by
more specialized applications. Such a Coordinated
Internet would revolutionize enterprise management, for
all enterprises, large and small, corporate and
personal. For example, static workflows would become
obsolete for all but the the most routine processes.
Some solutions provide existence proofs of such a
coordination substrate, such as the Redux solution in
concurrent engineering, which we describe herein.
However, foundational research remains to be done in
the new field of Coordination Engineering in order to
reach the goal of a future Internet in which
coordination functions are fundamental.",

performed in many ways, usually on the media server.
However, when it comes to content editing, like mixing
in subtitles or picture-in-picture composition, relying

economic reasons this should be done in a
service-oriented way, because a lot of adaptation
modules can be reused within different adaptation

become widely accepted in the Web community, the
multimedia environment is still dominated by monolithic
systems. The main reason is the insufficient support

suitability of Web services for handling complex data

Protocol of the United Nations Framework Convention on
Climate Change, Japan is committed to reducing 6\% of
the greenhouse gas emissions. In order to achieve this
commitment, Japan has undertaken several major
mitigation measures, one of which is the domestic
measure that includes ecologically friendly lifestyle
programs, utilizing natural energy, participating in
local environmental activities, and amending
environmental laws. Mitigation policies could be
achieved if public responses were strong. As the
internet has increasingly become an online platform for
sharing environmental information, public responses to
the need for reducing greenhouse gas emissions may be
assessed using available online tools. We used Google
Insights for Search, Google AdWords Keyword Tool, and
Google Timeline View to assess public responses in
Japan based on the interest shown for five search terms
that define global climate change and its mitigation
policies. Data on online search interests from January
04, 2004 to July 18, 2010 were analyzed according to
locations and categories. Our study suggests that the
search interests for the five chosen search terms
dramatically increased, especially when new mitigation
policies were introduced or when climate change related
events were organized. Such a rapid increase indicates
that the Japanese public strongly responds to climate
change mitigation policies.",

multi-scale and temporal data from various sources and

serious tools that practitioners and various

started using. Although these tools originate from
Geographic Information Systems (GIS), they have become
a different, potentially interactive and public tool

opportunities. Expectations regarding their utility as
planning and community engagement tools are high, but
are tempered by both technical limitations and ethical
issues [1,2]. Two grassroots campaigns and a
collaborative visioning process, the Kimberley Climate

illustrate and broaden our understanding of the
potential benefits and limitations associated with the
use of virtual globes in participatory planning
initiatives. Based on observations, questionnaires and
in-depth interviews with stakeholders and community
members using an interactive 3D model of regional
climate change vulnerabilities, potential impacts, and
possible adaptation and mitigation scenarios in
Kimberley, the benefits and limitations of virtual
globes as a tool for participatory landscape planning
are discussed. The findings suggest that virtual globes
can facilitate access to geospatial information, raise
awareness, and provide a more representative virtual
landscape than static visualizations. However,
landscape is not equally representative at all scales,
and not all types of users seem to benefit equally from
the tool. The risks of misinterpretation can be managed

means for the dissemination of landscape-based natural

Australia. The website currently consists of
approximately 11,000 web pages, including 1900 maps and

a range of scales-from statewide and regional overviews
to more detailed catchment and sub-catchment levels. At
all these levels of generalisation, information is
arranged in an organisationally agnostic way around key
knowledge ``domains'' (e.g., soil, landform, water).
VRO represents a useful model for the effective
dissemination of a wide range of natural resources
information; relying on partnerships with key subject
matter experts and data custodians, including a
``knowledge network'' of retired land resource
assessment specialists. In this paper, case studies are
presented that illustrate various approaches to

presentation of spatially contexted soil and landscape
information at different levels of generalisation.
Examples are provided of adapting site-based
information into clickable maps that reveal
site-specific details, as well as ``spatialising'' data
from specialist internal databases to improve
accessibility to a wider audience. Legacy information
sources have also been consolidated and spatially
referenced. More recent incorporation of interactive
visualisation products (such as landscape panoramas,

of 1190 user visits per day and user evaluation has
indicated a wide range of users, including students,
teachers, consultants, researchers and extension staff.

particular, the benefits for natural resource

question, we first calculate the bandwidth needs for
geographic data sets in terms of waiting times. The
calculations are based on various data volumes
estimated by scholars for different scenarios.
Documenting the waiting times clearly demonstrates the
magnitude of the problem. Following this, we summarize
the current hardware and software solutions, then the
current human-centric design approaches trying to
address the constraints such as various screen sizes
and information overload. We also discuss a limited set
of social issues touching upon the digital divide and
its implications. We hope that our systematic
documentation and critical review will help researchers
and practitioners in the field to better understand the
current state of the art.",

Worldwide, several hundred thousand people are
currently contributing information to the ``free''
geodatabase. However, the data contributions show a
geographically heterogeneous pattern around the globe.
Germany counts as one of the most active countries in
OSM; thus, the German street network has undergone an
extensive development in recent years. The question
that remains is this: How does the street network
perform in a relative comparison with a commercial
dataset? By means of a variety of studies, we show that
the difference between the OSM street network for car
navigation in Germany and a comparable proprietary
dataset was only 9\% in June 2011. The results of our
analysis regarding the entire street network showed
that OSM even exceeds the information provided by the
proprietary dataset by 27\%. Further analyses show on
what scale errors can be reckoned with in the topology
of the street network, and the completeness of turn
restrictions and street name information. In addition
to the analyses conducted over the past few years,
projections have additionally been made about the point
in time by which the OSM dataset for Germany can be
considered ``complete'' in relative comparison to a
commercial dataset.",

first requires an understanding of the interactions

demands a most critical consideration from theoretical
perspectives on research design and methods. This paper
first discusses common, and then a more uncommon,
theoretical approach used within the fields of learning

the socio-cultural theoretical perspective. The paper
next advocates this constructivist theoretical and
empirical perspective when studying learning with
multiple representational Geovisual Analytic tools. To
illustrate, an outline of a study made within this
theoretical tradition is offered. The study is
conducted in an educational setting where the Open
Statistics eXplorer platform is used. Discussion of our
study results shows that the socio-cultural perspective
has much to offer in terms of what kind of

advantages to transferring a land use standard to an

and reused, it can be extended and data consistency
maintained, and it is ready for integration, thereby
supporting the interoperability of different urban
planning applications. This standard is used as a basic
structure for the ``City Information Modelling'' (CIM)

automation regarding their IT resource management, for
example, to handle scalability or resource failures.
This automation is enabled by cloud providers offering
management interfaces accessed by applications without
human interaction. The properties of clouds, especially
pay-per-use billing and low availability of individual
resources, demand such a timely system management. We
call the automated steps to perform one of these
management tasks a ``management flow''. Because the
emerging behavior of the overall system is comprised of
many such management flows and is often hard to
predict, we propose defining abstract management flows,
describing common steps handling the management tasks.
These abstract management flows may then be refined for
each individual use case. We cover abstract management
flows describing how to make an application elastic,
resilient regarding IT resource failure, and how to
move application components between different runtime
environments. The requirements of these management
flows for handled applications are expressed using
architectural patterns that have to be implemented by
the applications. These dependencies result in abstract
management flows being interrelated with architectural
patterns in a uniform pattern catalog. We propose a
method by use of a catalog to guide application
managers during the refinement of abstract management
flows at the design stage of an application. Following
this method, runtime-specific management functionality
and management interfaces are used to obtain automated
management flows for a developed application.",

storytelling by introducing electronic games powered by

become the latest iteration in a decades-long evolution
of electronic games that seek to empower the player not
just as an avatar in a gameworld but also as a
co-author of that gameworld, alongside the game's
original designers. Location-aware interfaces allow
players to implicate places in the physical world as
part of their gameworld (and vice versa) for the first
time. In addition to empowering the player as a
co-author in the process of constructing a compelling
gameworld, then, mobile games eschew linear narrative
structures in favor of a cooperative storytelling
process that is reliant in part on the player's
experience of place. While such an author-player
``worldmaking'' approach to storytelling is not new,
mobile games evolve the process beyond what has yet
been possible within the technical and physical
constraints of the traditional video gaming format.
Location-aware interfaces allow mobile games to extend
the worldmaking process beyond the screen and into the
physical world, co-opting the player's sensory
experiences of real-world places as potential
storytelling tools. In our essay, we theorize the
unique storytelling potential of mobile games while
describing our experience attempting to harness that
potential through the design and implementation of our

are not the first to present object annotations that
are generated with content-based analysis methods.
However, the proposed framework possesses some
outstanding features that offer good prospects for its
application in real video portals. Firstly, it can be
easily used as background module in any video
environment. Secondly, it is not based on a fixed
analysis chain but on an extensive recognition
infrastructure that can be used with all kinds of
visual features, matching and machine learning
techniques. New recognition approaches can be
integrated into this infrastructure with low
development costs and a configuration of the used
recognition approaches can be performed even on a
running system. Thus, this framework might also benefit
from future advances in computer vision. Thirdly, we
present an automatic selection approach to support the
use of different recognition strategies for different
objects. Last but not least, visual analysis can be
performed efficiently on distributed, multi-processor
environments and a database schema is presented to
store the resulting video annotations as well as the
off-line generated low-level features in a compact

abstract = "This paper describes the results of an analysis of the
OpenStreetMap (OSM) database for the United Kingdom
(UK) and Ireland (correct to April 2011). 15, 640 OSM
ways (polygons and polylines), resulting in 316, 949
unique versions of these objects, were extracted and
analysed from the OSM database for the UK and Ireland.
In our analysis we only considered ``heavily edited''
objects in OSM: objects which have been edited 15 or
more times. Our results show that there is no strong
relationship between increasing numbers of contributors
to a given object and the number of tags (metadata)
assigned to it. 87\% of contributions/edits to these
objects are performed by 11\% of the total 4128
contributors. In 79\% of edits additional spatial data
(nodes) are added to objects. The results in this paper
do not attempt to evaluate the OSM data as good/poor
quality but rather informs potential consumers of OSM
data that the data itself is changing over time. In
developing a better understanding of the
characteristics of ``heavily edited'' objects there may
be opportunities to use historical analysis in working
towards quality indicators for OSM in the future.",

solutions and give little or no room for customization.
This limits the ability of Service-based Application
(SBA) developers to configure and syndicate offerings
from multiple SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS providers to address
their application requirements. Furthermore, combining
different independent cloud services necessitates a
uniform description format that facilitates the design,
customization, and composition. Cloud Blueprinting is a
novel approach that allows SBA developers to easily
design, configure and deploy virtual SBA payloads on
virtual machines and resource pools on the cloud. We
propose the Blueprint concept as a uniform abstract
description for cloud service offerings that may cross
different cloud computing layers, i.e., SaaS, PaaS and
IaaS. To support developers with the SBA design and
development in the cloud, this paper introduces a
formal Blueprint Template for unambiguously describing
a blueprint, as well as a Blueprint Lifecycle that
guides developers through the manipulation, composition
and deployment of different blueprints for an SBA.
Finally, the empirical evaluation of the blueprinting
approach within an EC's FP7 project is reported and an
associated blueprint prototype implementation is
presented.",

greatly extended by the use of geomatics. The tradition
to base reasoning on ` understanding the world ' dates
from the time of Aristotle. The extension plan for
Barcelona (Eixample), developed by Cerd{\`a}, which
opened the era of modern urban planning, was preceded
by analyses of rich data, describing both detailed
demographic issues and physical structures. The
contemporary, postmodernist city planning continues
this tradition, although a shift towards analyses of
more human-related issues can be observed, covering,
inter alia, citizens' perception, cultural differences
and patterns of human activities with regard to
distinct social groups. The change towards a more
human-related perspective and the inclusion of urban
morphology analyses are direct consequences of this
trend. The required data may be gathered within a
crowd-sourcing participation process. According to
communicative planning theory, communication with the
wider public is indispensable in order to achieve the
best results, and can be realized with the use of
sophisticated IT tools. Evidence-based reasoning may be
supported by images of significant aesthetic values,
which inspire immediate reactions.",

between professionals using videoconferencing affects
the e-health delivered to patients. In Norway, general
practitioners (GPs) and specialists routinely hold
videoconferences. Observations of 42 VC meetings, each
lasting from 5 to 40 min, were analysed in terms of the
interactions. In addition, five semi-structured,
face-to-face interviews were conducted, each lasting
from 20 to 70 minutes. Statements were selected to
illustrate the content of the interactions and how
collaborative work affects the delivery of healthcare.
Successful collaborative work provides practitioners
with a new way of thinking: exchanging information and
knowledge between levels of care in order to provide
the best treatment for patients locally. The regularity
makes the collaborative work a two-way achievement. GPs
receive decision support and second opinions, and
specialists receive information and opportunities to
follow up. How the professionals manage their work
(i.e., collaborating) may benefit their patients. The
regular use of videoconferencing will furnish
professionals with enhanced resources for the meeting
of patients' demands in the future. Regularly informing
one another and exchanging knowledge, benefits the
professionals by providing increased certainty with
regard to their medical decisions, and it benefits the
patients because they will feel satisfied with the
competence of the specialists where they live.",

abstract = "The infrastructure of large networks is broken down
into areas that have a common security policy called a
domain. Security within a domain is commonly
implemented at all nodes. However this can have a
negative effect on performance since it introduces a
delay associated with packet filtering. When Access
Control Lists (ACLs) are used within a router for this
purpose then a significant overhead is introduced
associated with this process. It is likely that
identical checks are made at multiple points within a
domain prior to a packet reaching its destination.
Therefore by eliminating ACLs within a domain by
modifying the ingress/egress points with equivalent
functionality an improvement in the overall performance
can be obtained. This paper considers the effect of the
delays when using router operating systems offering
different levels of functionality. It considers factors
which contribute to the delay particularly due to ACLs
and by using theoretical principles modified by
practical calculation a model is created. Additionally
this paper provides an example of an optimized solution
which reduces the delay through network routers by
distributing the security rules to the ingress/egress
points of the domain without affecting the security
policy.",

life of individuals around the world, it becomes
crucial to prevent unauthorized collection and abuse of
personalized information. Internet anonymization
software such as Tor is an important instrument to
protect online privacy. However, due to the performance
overhead caused by Tor, many Internet users refrain
from using it. This causes a negative impact on the
overall privacy provided by Tor, since it depends on
the size of the user community and availability of
shared resources. Detailed measurements about the
performance of Tor are crucial for solving this issue.
This paper presents comparative experiments on Tor
latency and throughput for surfing to 500 popular
websites from several locations around the world during
the period of 28 days. Furthermore, we compare these
measurements to critical latency thresholds gathered
from web usability research, including our own user
studies. Our results indicate that without massive
future optimizations of Tor performance, it is unlikely
that a larger part of Internet users would adopt it for
everyday usage. This leads to fewer resources available
to the Tor community than theoretically possible, and
increases the exposure of privacy-concerned
individuals. Furthermore, this could lead to an
adoption barrier of similar privacy-enhancing

a powerful approach to enhancing the capture of
information in natural resource ecology, notably
community knowledge of species distributions. Such
information has previously been collected using, for
example, postal surveys; these are typically
inefficient, with low response rates, high costs, and
requiring respondents to be spatially literate. Here we
describe an example, using the Google Maps Application
Programming Interface, to discuss the opportunities
such tools provide to conservation biology. Toad
Tracker was created as a prototype to demonstrate the
utility of this technology to document the distribution
of an invasive vertebrate pest species, the cane toad,
within Australia. While the technological aspects of
this tool are satisfactory, manager resistance towards
its use raises issues around the public nature of the
technology, the collaborative (non-expert) role in data
collection, and data ownership. We conclude in
suggesting that, for such tools to be accepted by
non-innovation adopters, work is required on both the
technological aspects and, importantly, a cultural
change is required to create an environment of

also three-dimensional (3D) visualization is quite
common within this area. Recent research efforts are
now trying to adapt well known outdoor routing services
to complex indoor environments. However, most of the
current indoor routing systems only focus on
two-dimensional visualization, thus only one level can
be depicted. Especially multi-level routes therefore
lack visualization. Also, most of the (few) existing 3D
indoor routing services utilize proprietary software or
plugins, thus a widespread accessibility for those
services by using common computers or mobile devices is
not feasible. Therefore this paper describes the
development of a web-based 3D routing system based on a
new HTML extension. The visualization of rooms as well
as the computed routes is realized with XML3D. Since
this emerging technology is based on WebGL and will
likely be integrated into the HTML5 standard, the
developed system is already compatible with most common
browsers such as Google Chrome or Firefox. Another key
difference of the approach presented in this paper is
that all utilized data is actually crowdsourced geodata
from OpenStreetMap (OSM). Such data is collaboratively
collected by both amateurs and professionals and can be
used at no charge under the Open Data Commons Open

their influence territory by having many outgoing links
and forming larger 1-cliques and ego-networks. Next,
the paper associates the proposed indexes with blogs'

high blog activity and users' community activity, as

that blogs, which strive to expand their network by

regulatory requirements written in natural language,
respectively, in a controlled and formal language. We
then structure our control process based on expert
practices. Each elementary control step is defined as a
SPARQL query and assembled into complex control
processes ``on demand'', according to the component
tested and its semantic definition. Finally, we
represent in RDF (Resource Description Framework) [4]

trend appears irrepressible as millions of users,

interactions radically changed the user approach.
Furthermore, the socialization of content around social
objects provides new unexplored commercial marketplaces

progressive evolution of the web towards the Semantic
Web (or Web 3.0) provides a formal representation of
knowledge based on the meaning of data. When the social

in the context of a semantic environment in which user

Social Web). This paper first provides a conceptual
analysis of the second and third version of the Web

we aimed to find out about the possibilities of

exploring the interest and motivation of autarchic
collaborators in their use (our unit of analysis in
autarchies). Information was gathered with the help of
a questionnaire, the design of which was based on
previous exploratory interviews and applied to four
autarchic units in the Minho region. In each unit,
three different target-groups were surveyed
(Councilors, Information Systems (IS) Technicians, and
General Staff), so that we could triangulate the data.
Data analysis and results emphasized the interest and
motivation of the autarchies in using Web 2.0 tools, as
well as the main constraints that would be faced during
Web 2.0 implementation. It also allowed us to establish
some guidelines for adequate Web 2.0 implementation,

government from the perspective of an ecosystem, a
metaphor often used by policy makers, scholars, and
technology gurus to convey a sense of the
interdependent social systems of actors, organizations,
material infrastructures, and symbolic resources that
can be created in technology-enabled,
information-intensive social systems. We use the
concept of an ecosystem to provide a framework for
considering the outcomes of a workshop organized to
generate a research and development agenda for open
government. The agenda was produced in discussions
among participants from the government (at the federal,
state, and local levels), academic and civil sector
communities at the Center for Technology in Government
(CTG) at the University at Albany, SUNY in April 2011.
The paper begins by discussing concepts central to
understanding what is meant by an ecosystem and some
principles that characterize its functioning. We then
apply this metaphor more directly to government,
proposing that policymakers engage in strategic
ecosystems thinking, which means being guided by the
goal of explicitly and purposefully constructing open
government ecosystems. From there, we present the
research agenda questions essential to the development
of this new view of government's interaction with users
and organizations. Our goal is to call attention to
some of the fundamental ways in which government must
change in order to evolve from outdated industrial
bureaucratic forms to information age networked and
interdependent systems.",

multiple-mission data from Mars, the Virtual Astronaut
(VA) creates an interactive virtual 3D environment
built on the Unity3D Game Engine. A prototype study was
conducted based on orbital and Opportunity Rover data
covering Santa Maria Crater in Meridiani Planum on
Mars. The VA at Santa Maria provides dynamic visual
representations of the imaging, compositional, and
mineralogical information. The VA lets one navigate
through the scene and provides geomorphic and geologic
contexts for the rover operations. User interactions
include in-situ observations visualization, feature
measurement, and an animation control of rover drives.
This paper covers our approach and implementation of
the VA system. A brief summary of the prototype system
functions and user feedback is also covered. Based on
external review and comments by the science community,
the prototype at Santa Maria has proven the VA to be an
effective tool for virtual geovisual analysis.",

datasets that are produced and archived at distributed

the potential to provide such an intuitive and

climate parameters, and communicate the results across
different research communities. However, implementing a

paper reports our research and development of a
web-based geovisual analytical system to support the
analysis of climate data generated by climate model.
Using the ModelE developed by the NASA Goddard

demonstrate that the system is able to (1) manage large
volume datasets over the Internet; (2) visualize
2D/3D/4D spatiotemporal data; (3) broker various
spatiotemporal statistical analyses for climate
research; and (4) support interactive data analysis and

also study how the presence of Gaussian noise on

process involving the creation of meanings on the part

dominated by institutionalized production, and this
extends to the exploitation of consumer creativity on
the production side. Recent consumption literature can
be re-interpreted through the prosumer lens in order to
understand whether prosumers are more creative or
alienated in their activities. The peculiar typology of
prosumption introduced by Web 2.0 leads us to analyze
social capital as a key element in value creation, and
to investigate its different online and offline forms.

On the other hand, we also show that analytical models

the past and significant effort has been put into the
development and introduction of more resilient
technologies. At the same time researchers have been
raising concerns about the potential of cyber attacks
to cause physical disasters or to maximise the impact
of one by intentionally impeding the work of the
emergency services. Here, we provide a review of
current research on the cyber threats to communication,
sensing, information management and vehicular
technologies used in emergency management. We emphasise
on open issues for research, which are the cyber
threats that have the potential to affect emergency
management severely and for which solutions have not
yet been proposed in the literature.",

physical layer network coding (PNC) based on compute

the maximum achievable rates in CF-based transmission
is limited due to the channel approximations at the
relay. In this work, we propose the integer forcing
precoder (IFP), which bypasses this maximum rate
achievability limitation. Our precoder requires channel
state information (CSI) at the transmitter, but only
that of the channel between the transmitter and the
relay, which is a feasible assumption. The overall
contributions of this paper are three-fold. Firstly, we
propose an implementation of CF using IFP and prove
that this implementation achieves higher rates as
compared to traditional relaying schemes. Further, the
probability of error from the proposed scheme is shown
to have up to 2 dB of gain over the existent lattice
network coding-based implementation of CF. Secondly, we
analyze the two phases of transmission in the CF
scheme, thereby characterizing the end-to-end behavior
of the CF and not only one-phase behavior, as in
previous proposals. Finally, we develop decoders for
both the relay and the destination. We use a
generalization of Bezout's theorem to justify the
construction of these decoders. Further, we make an
analytical derivation of the end-to-end probability of
error for cubic lattices using the proposed scheme.",

abstract = "Online collaboration and web-based knowledge sharing
have gained momentum as major components of the Web 2.0
movement. Consequently, knowledge embedded in such
platforms is no longer static and continuously evolves
through experts' micro-contributions. Traditional
Information Retrieval and Social Network Analysis
techniques take a document-centric approach to
expertise modeling by creating a macro-perspective of
knowledge embedded in large corpus of static documents.
However, as knowledge in collaboration platforms
changes dynamically, the traditional macro-perspective
is insufficient for tracking the evolution of knowledge
and expertise. Hence, Expertise Profiling is presented
with major challenges in the context of dynamic and
evolving knowledge. In our previous study, we proposed
a comprehensive, domain-independent model for expertise
profiling in the context of evolving knowledge. In this
paper, we incorporate Language Modeling into our
methodology to enhance the accuracy of resulting
profiles. Evaluation results indicate a significant
improvement in the accuracy of profiles generated by
this approach. In addition, we present our profile
visualization tool, Profile Explorer, which serves as a
paradigm for exploring and analyzing time-dependent
expertise profiles in knowledge-bases where content
evolves overtime. Profile Explorer facilitates
comparative analysis of evolving expertise, independent
of the domain and the methodology used in creating
profiles.",

trace capturing tools are not adaptable to generating
nor capturing the I/O requests of Android apps. The
Android platform needs proper tools to capture and
replay real world workload in the Android platform to
verify the result of benchmark tools. This paper
introduces Android Storage Performance Analysis Tool,
AndroStep, which is specifically designed for
characterizing and analyzing the behavior of the I/O
subsystem in Android based devices. The AndroStep
consists of Mobibench (workload generator), MOST
(Mobile Storage Analyzer), and Mobigen (workload
replayer). Mobibench is an Android app that generates a
filesystem as well as SQLite database operations.
Mobibench can also vary the number of concurrent
threads to examining the filesystem scalability to
support concurrency, e.g., metadata updates, journal
file creation/deletion. MOST captures the trace and
extracts key filesystem access characteristics such as
access pattern with respect to file types, ratio
between random vs. sequential access, ratio between
buffered vs. synchronous I/O, fraction of metadata
accesses, etc. MOST implements reverse mapping feature
(finding an inode for a given block) and retrospective
reverse mapping (finding an inode for a deleted file).
Mobigen is a trace capturing and replaying tool that is
specifically designed to perform the user experiment
without actual human intervention. Mobigen records the
system calls generated from the user behavior and
sanitizes the trace for replayable form. Mobigen can
replay this trace on different Android platforms or
with different I/O stack configurations. As an example
of using AndroStep, we analyzed the performances of
twelve Android smartphones and the SQLite performances
on five different filesystems. AndroStep makes
otherwise time consuming I/O stack analysis extremely
versatile. AndroStep makes a significant contribution
in terms of shedding light on internal behavior of the
Android I/O stack.",

baseline direction finding algorithm is extended to
estimate DOA for a conformal array in ultra-wideband.
The rotation comparison method is adopted to solve the
ambiguity of direction finding. The virtual baseline
approach is used to construct the virtual elements.
Theoretically, the virtual elements can be extended in
the space flexibility. Four elements (both actual and
virtual elements) can be used to obtain a group of
solutions. The space angle estimation can be obtained
by using sub-array divided technique and matrix
inversion method. The stability of the proposed
algorithm can be guaranteed by averaging the angles
obtained by different sub-arrays. Finally, the
simulation results verify the effectiveness of the
proposed method with high DOA estimation accuracy and

sector to an unprecedented new level. Various portable

in the consumer market to provide the self-empowerment
of a healthier lifestyle to society. Many vendors
provide additional cloud-based services for devices
they manufacture, enabling the users to visualize,
store and share the gathered information through the
Internet. However, most of these services are
integrated with the devices in a closed ``silo''
manner, where the devices can only be used with the
provided services. To tackle this issue, an information
integration platform (IIP) has been developed to
support communications between devices and
Internet-based services in an event-driven fashion by
adopting service-oriented architecture (SOA) principles
and a publish/subscribe messaging pattern. It follows
the ``Internet of Things'' (IoT) idea of connecting
everyday objects to various networks and to enable the
dissemination of the gathered information to the global
information space through the Internet. A
patient-centric healthcare service environment is
chosen as the target scenario for the deployment of the
platform, as this is a domain where IoT can have a
direct positive impact on quality of life enhancement.
