Cyber-physical-social-thinking space based science and technology framework for the Internet of Things

The Internet of Things(Io T)as an emerging network paradigm is bringing the next scientific and technological revolution for ubiquitous things’interactions in cyber-physical-social spaces.The Io T influences the current science and technology system by enabling its relatively stable interrelations for an inevitable architecture reconfiguration.In this paper,we aim to explore an updated science and technology framework for the Io T.Particularly,a novel cyber-physical-social-thinking(CPST)space is established by involving an attractive concept of the Internet of Thinking(Io Tk),and a science and technology framework is accordingly proposed referring to both scientific aspect(i.e.,cyber-physical,social,and noetic sciences)and technological aspect(i.e.,fundamental,physical,cyber,and social technologies).According to the perspective of the traditional Chinese culture,we explain the established science and technology framework,in which the"Five Elements"(i.e.,wood,fire,earth,metal,and water)have common properties with the restructured cyber-physical science in the Io T.Moreover,we introduce a scenario of smart city to identify the technological aspect in the Io T,and discuss the key enabling technologies,including resource management,energy management,data management,session management,security and privacy,loop control,space-time consistency,nanotechnology,and quantum technology.It turns out that the established science and technology framework will launch an innovation for academia and industry communities.

RESTful API in Life Science Research Systems and Data Integration Challenges： Linking Metabolic Pathway,Metabolic Network,Gene and Publication

Translational science research development requires life sciences researchers to update their concept on systems integration and data integration. The RESTful API has proven to be very useful in integrating the massive amount of data and tools. This work presents an approach for biological systems analysis based on the semantic web and RESTful API. The integration of this approach in the BioExtract Server engine as a WMS （workflow management system） allows us to apply our work to the linking of several biological levels （metabolic pathway, metabolic network model, genes and publications）. This work shows how HPC infrastructure and RESTful API can be an opportunity in Systems Biology and life science research challenges. We present a use case in BioExtract server as an integrated workflow management system. The use case shows how we can extract data to build a mathematical model for a specific biological system. The two workflow examples provided in this work enhance the flexibility in the workflow for reusability. Then any other researcher can customize the same workflow for different gene name or biological process.     

Editor’s note

正Along with the flourishing development of information science,the Internet has realized the interconnections among the ubiquitous entities in the cyber space.It brings the unceasing expansion of the interactive data,information,knowledge,and services.The frontier information science is expected to imitate the heuristic intelligence,including human cognition(e.g.attention,emotion,and wisdom)and natural attributes(e.g.,dynamics,and self-adaptability),to promote the evolution of the information techniques.Accordingly,Cybermatics(i.e.,cyberscienceand technology)emerges as an interdisciplinary involving three main aspects:the Internet of Things(IoT),cyber,physical and social computing,and green computing and communications.     

Survey of information security

The 21st century is the age of information when information becomes an important strategic resource. The information obtaining, processing and security guarantee capability are playing critical roles in comprehensive national power, and information security is related to the national security and social stability. Therefore, we should take measures to ensure the information security of our country. In recent years, momentous accomplishments have been obtained with the rapid development of information security technology. There are extensive theories about information security and technology. However, due to the limitation of length, this article mainly focuses on the research and development of cryptology, trusted computing, security of network, and information hiding, etc.     

Course construction and innovation of information organization science

New technological revolutions have brought a series reforms and innovations to the education of information management in this information age. There has been a great leap in establishing and reforming information organization science. In teaching practice, evolutions involving research target, course content, course system and structure have accordingly brought forth great changes of teaching environment, teaching methods and approaches. With the birth of knowledge economy, information organization will develop to an even higher stage-knowledge organization and foster new reforms.     

From concepts to consistent object specifications: Translation of a domain-oriented feature framework into practice

A steady increase in consumer demands,and severe constraints from both a somewhat damaged environment and newly installed government policies,require today‘s product design and development to be faster and more efficient than ever before,yet utilizing even fewer resources.New holistic approaches,such at total product life cycle modeling which embraces all aspercts of a product‘s life cycle,are current attempts to solve these problems,Within the field of product design and modeling,feature technology has proved to be one very promising solution component.Owing to the tremendous increase in information technology,to transfer from low level data processing towards knowledge modeling and information processing is about to bring a change in almost every computerized application.From this viewpoint,current problems of both feature frameworks and feature systems are analyzed in respect to static and dynamic consistency breakdowns.The analysis ranges from early stager of designing(feature)concepts to final system implementation and application.For the first tie,an integrated view is given on approaches,solutions and practical experience,with feature concepts and structures,providing both a feature framework and its implementation with sufficient system architecture and computational power to master a fair number of known consistency breakdowns,while providing for robust contexts for feature semantics and integrated models.Within today;s heavy use of information technology these are pre-requisites if the full potential of feature technology is to be successfully translated into practice.

Stumbling Blocks in Cloud Computing Adoption Pathway： A Charter

Cloud computing is currently an embryonic domain in the area of information technology that possesses the power of transforming the way information technology （IT） services are delivered and maintained in the business world. Pay as per the usage kind of cost structure coupled with delivery of computing services through internet makes cloud computing an exciting and potential growth oriented information technology model compared with conventional computing services delivery models. Various additional features like scalability, flexibility and easy deployment process creates a window for the organizations even relatively smaller in size to get benefitted by the highly advanced ＆ modern technologies without incurring substantial cost. In spite of so many benefits of this new delivery model, concerns are beginning to grow about how safe an environment it is. Despite of all the hype surrounding the cloud, enterprise customers are still reluctant to deploy their business in the cloud. Security is one of the major issues which reduces the growth of cloud computing and complications with data privacy and data protection continue to plague the market. Other related concerns associated with the adoption of cloud computing include trust on service providers, loss of control and compliance issues. This paper is an attempt to explore security ＆ trust issues linked with cloud computing adoption in the Small and Medium Enterprises （SME） sector.
