Understanding and Using Context

by Anind K. Dey - Personal and Ubiquitous Computing , 2001
"... Context is a poorly used source of information in our computing environments. As a result, we have an impoverished understanding of what context is and how it can be used. In this paper, we provide an operational definition of context and discuss the different ways that context can be used by contex ..."

Understanding Code Mobility

by Alfonso Fuggetta, Gian Pietro Picco, Giovanni Vigna - IEEE COMPUTER SCIENCE PRESS , 1998
"... The technologies, architectures, and methodologies traditionally used to develop distributed applications exhibit a variety of limitations and drawbacks when applied to large scale distributed settings (e.g., the Internet). In particular, they fail in providing the desired degree of configurability, ..."

, code mobility is generating a growing body of scientific literature and industrial developments. Nevertheless, the field is still characterized by the lack of a sound and comprehensive body of concepts and terms. As a consequence, it is rather difficult to understand, assess, and compare the existing

Ontologies: Silver Bullet for Knowledge Management and Electronic Commerce

by Dieter Fensel , 2007
"... Currently computers are changing from single isolated devices to entry points into a world wide network of information exchange and business transactions called the World Wide Web (WWW). Therefore support in the exchange of data, information, and knowledge exchange is becoming the key issue in cur ..."

in current computer technology. Ontologies provide a shared and common understanding of a domain that can be communicated between people and application systems. Therefore, they may play a major role in supporting information exchange processes in various areas. This book discusses the role ontologies

Ontologies are us: A unified model of social networks and semantics

by Peter Mika - In International Semantic Web Conference , 2005
"... Abstract. On the Semantic Web ontologies are most commonly treated as artifacts created by knowledge engineers for a particular community. The task of the engineers is to forge a common understanding within the community and to formalize the agreements, prerequisites of reusing domain knowledge in i ..."

Formalising trust as a computational concept

by Stephen Paul Marsh , 1994
"... Trust is a judgement of unquestionable utility — as humans we use it every day of our lives. However, trust has suffered from an imperfect understanding, a plethora of definitions, and informal use in the literature and in everyday life. It is common to say “I trust you, ” but what does that mean? T ..."

Investor Protection and Corporate Governance

by Rafael La Porta, Florencio Lopez-de-Silanes, Andrei Shleifer, Robert Vishny , 1999
"... Recent research on corporate governance has documented large differences between countries in ownership concentration in publicly traded firms, in the breadth and depth of financial markets, and in the access of firms to external finance. We suggest that there is a common element to the explanations ..."

A Behavioral Notion of Subtyping

by Barbara H. Liskov, Jeanette M. Wing - ACM Transactions on Programming Languages and Systems , 1994
"... The use of hierarchy is an important component of object-oriented design. Hierarchy allows the use of type families, in which higher level supertypes capture the behavior that all of their subtypes have in common. For this methodology to be effective, it is necessary to have a clear understanding of ..."

Ontology Development 101: A Guide to Creating Your First Ontology

by Natalya F. Noy, Deborah L. Mcguinness , 2001
"... In recent years the development of ontologies—explicit formal specifications of the terms in the domain and relations among them (Gruber 1993)—has been moving from the realm of Artificial-Intelligence laboratories to the desktops of domain experts. Ontologies have become common on the World-Wide Web ..."
