一种动态混合QoS语义的Web服务个性化推荐模型

服务推荐是服务计算中的主要问题之一,当前大多针对功能属性进行推荐,而在Web服务的QoS属性方面考虑较少,并且不支持动态变化的QoS属性。基于动态混合QoS的语义Web服务个性化推荐模型,把语义Web技术引入Web服务中,在QoS监控器下,有效监测Web服务的QoS属性变化并动态更新Web服务的QoS属性。根据建立的用户兴趣模型,向用户推荐具有个性化的Web服务。此外,在个性化推荐系统中使用最广泛的协同过滤推荐技术基础上,对数据进行了一系列的预处理填充,而且充分考虑了不同时间的项目评分对推荐的影响。结合用户兴趣度和用户评分的相似性计算方法,并通过不同的权值来表示它们的重要程度,综合计算目标用户的最近邻居集合,最终对用户u产生推荐。该系统在一定程度上提高了服务推荐的效率和准确度并满足用户查询需求。     

基于位置聚类和张量分解的Web服务推荐算法

基于服务质量（QoS）的Web服务推荐能在众多功能相似的Web服务中发现最能满足用户非功能需求的Web服务,但QoS属性值预测算法仍存在预测准确度不高和数据稀疏性的问题。针对以上问题,提出了一种基于位置聚类和分层张量分解的QoS预测算法ClustTD,该算法基于用户和服务的位置属性将用户和服务聚类成多个局部组,分别对局部组和全局的用户、服务和时间上下文进行张量建模和分解,将局部和全局张量分解的QoS预测值进行加权组合,同时考虑了局部和全局因素,获得最终QoS预测值。实验结果表明,该算法具有较高的QoS预测准确率和Web服务推荐质量,并能在一定程度上解决数据稀疏性问题。     

用户位置感知的Web服务QoS预测方法

随着互联网上Web服务数量的增多,服务的QoS开始成为用户在选择服务时关注的焦点.为了有效获取服务的QoS信息以便向用户推荐高质量的服务,提出一种用户位置感知的Web服务QoS预测方法--UL-WSRec.利用一些QoS属性受用户位置影响的事实和同一个自治系统中的用户在位置上邻近的特点,根据自治系统来计算用户位置和划分相似用户.在传统的协同过滤算法基础上,利用用户位置信息提出了改进的算法,以提高服务QoS预测的效率和精度.基于真实Web服务数据的实验表明了该方法的有效性.

基于灰色关联分析的Web服务选择

为方便用户选择最优Web服务,利用灰色系统理论对Web服务质量QoS属性因子进行分析,提出了一种基于用户QoS偏好的Web服务灰色关联分析方法。考虑到Web服务QoS的不确定性,该方法使用区间对Web服务QoS值进行建模。为了确定候选服务的QoS与用户QoS需求的符合程度,先针对服务的每个QoS属性,计算其与用户QoS需求的灰色区间关联系数;然后结合各个QoS属性的关联系数计算候选服务的QoS与用户QoS需求的综合灰色区间关联度,关联度越大的服务越符合用户的要求;最后从满足用户功能需求的Web服务中选择灰色关联度最大的Web服务推荐给用户。与其它Web服务评价模型相比较,该模型更加符合Web服务QoS的实际情况,能够在服务QoS信息不充分、不确定的环境下,对QoS属性进行合乎实际的分析处理,从而得到更加合理有效的QoS评价。     

基于用户反馈QoS的动态Web服务发现方法

由于传统的基于关键字和简单分类的Web服务发现机制缺少服务质量(QoS)考虑,因此不能很好满足用户的需求。针对该问题,提出一种基于QoS的Web服务发现模型,通过引入QoS代理机制,对终端用户使用Web服务后反馈的QoS信息进行量化和度量处理,以支持基于QoS的Web服务发现;在此基础上,根据Web服务的动态性特点和不同用户的QoS需求,给出了基于用户反馈的QoS数据度量方法,并提出一种基于QoS的Web服务发现算法。实验结果表明,提出的Web服务发现方法能够较好地满足用户的需求。

Only connect: teaching, technology and telesis

Abstract This paper describes an approach to the design of interactive multimedia materials being developed in a European Community project. The developmental process is seen as a dialogue between technologists and teachers. This dialogue is often problematic because of the differences in training, experience and culture between them. Conditions needed for fruitful dialogue are described and the generic model for learning design used in the project is explained.     

European Community policy and the market

Abstract This paper starts with some reflections on the policy considerations and priorities which are shaping European Commission (EC) research programmes. Then it attempts to position the current projects which seek to capitalise on information and communications technologies for learning in relation to these priorities and the apparent realities of the marketplace. It concludes that while there are grounds to be optimistic about the contribution EC programmes can make to the efficiency and standard of education and training, they are still too technology driven.

Avoiding semantic and temporal gaps in developing software intensive systems

Development of software intensive systems (systems) in practice involves a series of self-contained phases for the lifecycle of a system. Semantic and temporal gaps, which occur among phases and among developer disciplines within and across phases, hinder the ongoing development of a system because of the interdependencies among phases and among disciplines. Such gaps are magnified among systems that are developed at different times by different development teams, which may limit reuse of artifacts of systems development and interoperability among the systems. This article discusses such gaps and a systems development process for avoiding them.     

Designing economic np control charts: A programmed simulation approach

This paper presents control charts models and the necessary simulation software for the location of economic values of the control parameters. The simulation program is written in FORTRAN, requires only 10K of main storage, and can run on most mini and micro computers. Two models are presented - one describes the process when it is operating at full capacity and the other when the process is operating under capacity. The models allow the product quality to deteriorate to a further level before an existing out-of-control state is detected, and they can also be used in situations where no prior knowledge exists of the out-of-control causes and the resulting proportion defectives.     

The development of robot art

Going through a few examples of robot artists who are recognized worldwide, we try to analyze the deepest meaning of what is called “robot art” and the related art field definition. We also try to highlight its well-marked borders, such as kinetic sculptures, kinetic art, cyber art, and cyberpunk. A brief excursion into the importance of the context, the message, and its semiotics is also provided, case by case, together with a few hints on the history of this discipline in the light of an artistic perspective. Therefore, the aim of this article is to try to summarize the main characteristics that might classify robot art as a unique and innovative discipline, and to track down some of the principles by which a robotic artifact can or cannot be considered an art piece in terms of social, cultural, and strictly artistic interest. This work was presented in part at the 13th International Symposium on Artificial Life and Robotics, Oita, Japan, January 31–February 2, 2008     

Explanation and prediction: an architecture for default and abductive reasoning

Although there are many arguments that logic is an appropriate tool for artificial intelligence, there has been a perceived problem with the monotonicity of classical logic. This paper elaborates on the idea that reasoning should be viewed as theory formation where logic tells us the consequences of our assumptions. The two activities of predicting what is expected to be true and explaining observations are considered in a simple theory formation framework. Properties of each activity are discussed, along with a number of proposals as to what should be predicted or accepted as reasonable explanations. An architecture is proposed to combine explanation and prediction into one coherent framework. Algorithms used to implement the system as well as examples from a running implementation are given.     

Three Process Perspectives: Organizations, Teams, and People

This paper provides the author's personal views and perspectives on software process improvement. Starting with his first work on technology assessment in IBM over 20 years ago, Watts Humphrey describes the process improvement work he has been directly involved in. This includes the development of the early process assessment methods, the original design of the CMM, and the introduction of the Personal Software Process (PSP)^SM and Team Software Process (TSP){^SM}. In addition to describing the original motivation for this work, the author also reviews many of the problems he and his associates encountered and why they solved them the way they did. He also comments on the outstanding issues and likely directions for future work. Finally, this work has built on the experiences and contributions of many people. Mr. Humphrey only describes work that he was personally involved in and he names many of the key contributors. However, so many people have been involved in this work that a full list of the important participants would be impractical.     

基于复小波噪声方差显著修正的SAR图像去噪

提出了一种基于复小波域统计建模与噪声方差估计显著性修正相结合的合成孔径雷达(Synthetic Aperture Radar,SAR)图像斑点噪声滤波方法。该方法首先通过对数变换将乘性噪声模型转化为加性噪声模型,然后对变换后的图像进行双树复小波变换(Dualtree Complex Wavelet Transform,DCWT),并对复数小波系数的统计分布进行建模。在此先验分布的基础上,通过运用贝叶斯估计方法从含噪系数中恢复原始系数,达到滤除噪声的目的。实验结果表明该方法在去除噪声的同时保留了图像的细节信息,取得了很好的降噪效果。     

How do children do mathematics with LOGO?

Abstract  This paper considers some results of a study designed to investigate the kinds of mathematical activity undertaken by children (aged between 8 and 11) as they learned to program in LOGO. A model of learning modes is proposed, which attempts to describe the ways in which children used and acquired understanding of the programming/mathematical concepts involved. The remainder of the paper is concerned with discussing the validity and limitations of the model, and its implications for further research and curriculum development.
