Towards Policy Decomposition for Autonomic Systems Governance by Applying Biologically Inspired Techniques
(IEEE, 2008)Policy-based management systems use declarative rules to govern their operation whilst satisfying the goals of the system. One of the fundamental issues in policy engineering remains the inability to automatically ... -
OCCS: Enabling the Dynamic Discovery, Harvesting and Delivery of Educational Content from Open Corpus Sources
(2008)The World Wide Web (WWW) provides access to a vast array of educational content, a great deal of which is ideal for incorporation into eLearning experiences. However sourcing, harvesting and incorporating appropriate ... -
The Butterfly methodology: a Gateway-free approach for migrating legacy information systems
(IEEE, 1997)The problems posed by mission-critical legacy systems - e.g., brittleness, inflexibility, isolation, nonextensibility, lack of openness - are well known, but practical solutions have been slow to emerge. Generally, o ... -
Realising Adaptive Web Services through Automated Policy Refinement
(IEEE, 2007)Traditionally policy based management systems have relied on 'engineered' policy refinement to decompose high level policies down to low level policies for implementation 111121. Such management systems typically rely ... -
Service Oriented eLearning Platforms: From Monolithic Systems to Flexible Services
(2007)The learning management system (LMS) has dominated Internet-based education for the past two decades. However, the traditional LMS is failing to keep pace with advances in Internet technologies and social interactions ... -
Understanding as We Roam
(2007)Increasingly, the problem for roaming users isn?t discovering local Web services or local context information or even getting their applications to interoperate with them at a syntactic level, but rather achieving ... -
Architecture for Integrated Telecommunication Management Platforms
(1993)Telecommunication management network (TMN) systems represent diverse telecommunication domains with wideranging functionality which frequently employ different technologies and produce isolated solutions. Yet ... -
Roles Considered Harmful in Policy-based Management for Dynamic Organisations
(2007)Using roles for modeling organizations has become common in commercial policy based access control systems and widely accepted in policy-based management research for the grouping of policies. In this paper we argue that ... -
Separation of Distributed Real-Time Embedded Concerns with Theme/UML
(2008)Model-driven engineering (MDE) addresses platform complexity issues by abstracting platformindependent models for subsequent transformation to platform-specific models. This facilitates the design of a single system model ... -
Customisable model transformations based on non-functional requirements
(IEEE, 2008)The Model-to-Model (M2M) transformation stage in a Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) tool chain is used to bridge the large semantic gap between problem-domain abstractions and software artefacts. This transformation ... -
Software needs engineering - a position paper
(IEEE, 2000)When the general press refers to `software' in its headlines, then this is often not to relate a success story, but to expand on yet another `software-risk-turned-problem-story'. For many people, the term `software' evokes ... -
Sharing health-care records over the Internet
(IEEE, 2001)Presents a novel approach to sharing electronic health-care records that leverages the Internet and the World Wide Web, developed as part of two European Commission-funded projects, Synapses and SynEx. The approach provides ... -
The use of Radio Frequency Identification to track samples in bio-repositories
(IEEE, 2008)Bio-repositories are resources for storing biological samples and data to support the discovery of biomarkers, therapeutic targets, and the underlying causes of diseases. The success of this knowledge discovery process ... -
Coping with Diverse Semantic Models when Routing Ubiquitous Computing Information
(2008)Routing of contextual information within ubiquitous computing environments is a key challenge that must be tackled for such environments to be successful. It is accepted that such routing systems need to cope with mobile ... -
Adaptive Semantic Interoperability Strategies for Knowledge Based Networking
(2007)A Knowledge Based Network is a type of ontological content based network. As Knowledge Based Networks scale, semantic interoperability becomes an important issue since larger populations of users result in more heterogeneity ... -
Policy-based Management of Semantic Clustering
(2008)We introduce the concept of a Knowledge-based Network KBN [1] as an extended Content-based Network (CBN), where semantically rich messages co-exist with the more traditional CBN messages format. One of the main advantages ... -

Extending Siena to support more expressive and flexible subscriptions
(2008)This paper defines and discusses the implementation of two novel extensions to the Siena Content-based Network (CBN) to extend it to become a Knowledge-based Network (KBN) thereby increasing the expressiveness and ...
