Preface

Chapters

Chapter 1

Semantically Integrated Conceptual Modeling Method and Modeling Patterns (pages 1-33)

Remigijus Gustas, Prima Gustiene

Managing evolutionary changes, identification of discontinuities, and separation of concerns is not an easy task in the area conceptual modeling in information system development. One of the fundamental problems is that most...

Chapter 2

Founding a Field Theory of Work: Re-Organization through Energy Exchange (pages 34-64)

Raymon R. Bruce

This chapter traces the origin of the concept of work in five staged sections. The first section examines the question, what is work? Work originally referred to “doing,” that is, work organization, synergy, and energy. The second...

Chapter 3

Context Inference Engine (CiE): Classifying Activity of Context using Minkowski Distance and Standard Deviation-Based Ranks (pages 65-112)

Umar Mahmud, Muhammad Younus Javed

Context Awareness is the ability of systems and applications to sense the environment and infer the activity going on in the environment. Context encompasses all knowledge bounded within an environment and includes attributes of both...

Chapter 4

Simple System Dynamics and Control System Project Models (pages 113-133)

A. S. White

This chapter examines the established Systems Dynamics (SD) methods applied to software projects in order to simplify them. These methods are highly non-linear and contain large numbers of variables and built-in decisions. A SIMULINK...

Chapter 5

Modeling a Simple Self-Organizing System (pages 134-148)

Nicholas C. Georgantzas, Evangelos Katsamakas

This chapter presents a System Dynamics (SD) simulation model that not only replicates self-organizing system uncertainty results but also looks at self-organization causally. The SD simulation and model analysis results show exactly...

Chapter 6

The Role of Standards in the Development of New Informational Infrastructure (pages 149-160)

Vladislav V. Fomin, Marja Matinmikko

In this chapter, the authors inch towards better understanding of the notion of informational infrastructure and the role of standards in the development of infrastructures in the new information age. Specifically, the authors...

Chapter 7

Development Framework Pattern for Pervasive Information Systems (pages 161-185)

José Eduardo Fernandes, Ricardo J. Machado

During last decade, the world watched a social acceptance of computing and computers, enhanced information technology devices, wireless networks, and Internet; they gradually became a fundamental resource for individuals. Nowadays...

Chapter 8

Neural Network-Based Spatial Modeling of Natural Phenomena and Events (pages 186-211)

Andreas Barth, Andreas Knobloch, Silke Noack, Frank Schmidt

Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) are used for statistical modeling of spatial events in geosciences. The advantage of this method is the ability of neural networks to represent complex interrelations and to be “able to learn” from...

Chapter 9

Multidimensional Data Analysis Based on Links: Models and Languages (pages 212-281)

Paulo Caetano da Silva

Analytical processing (OLAP) tools typically only deal with relational data. Hence, the analytical processing systems on XML data do not have all the functionality provided by OLAP tools to traditional data (i.e. relational). In...

Chapter 10

A Scouting-Based Multi-Agent System Model to Deal with Service Collaboration in Cloud Computing (pages 282-309)

Mauricio Paletta

Cloud computing addresses the use of scalable and often virtualized resources. It is based on service-level agreements that provide external users with requested services. Cloud computing is still evolving. New specific collaboration...

Chapter 11

Power Quality Improvement using Improved Approximated Fuzzy Logic Controller for Shunt Active Power Filter (pages 310-332)

Asheesh K. Singh, Rambir Singh

This chapter presents the design approach of an Improved Approximated Simplest Fuzzy Logic Controller (IASFLC). A cascade combination of simplest 4-rule Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) and an nth degree polynomial is proposed as an...
