Mediators in the architecture of future information systems
- IEEE COMPUTER
, 1992
"... The installation of high-speed networks using optical fiber and high bandwidth messsage forwarding gateways is changing the physical capabilities of information systems. These capabilities must be complemented with corresponding software systems advances to obtain a real benefit. Without smart softw ..."

-level functional partitioning. These partitions are mapped into information process-ing modules. The modules are assigned to nodes of the distributed information systems. A central role is assigned to modules that mediate between the users ' workstations and data re-sources. Mediators contain
The moderator–mediator variable distinction in social psychological research: Conceptual, strategic, and statistical considerations
- Journal of Personality and Social Psychology
, 1986
"... In this article, we attempt to distinguish between the properties of moderator and mediator variables at a number of levels. First, we seek to make theorists and researchers aware of the importance of not using the terms moderator and mediator interchangeably by carefully elaborating, both conceptua ..."

, attitudes, and personality traits. We also provide a specific compendium of analytic procedures appropriate for making the most effective use of the moderator and mediator distinction, both separately and in terms of a broader causal system that includes both moderators and mediators. The purpose
A survey of trust and reputation systems for online service provision
, 2005
"... Trust and reputation systems represent a significant trend in decision support for Internet mediated service provision. The basic idea is to collect information about potential service providers in order to select the most reliable and trustworthy provider of services and information and to avoid th ..."

Ant Colony System: A cooperative learning approach to the traveling salesman problem
- IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON EVOLUTIONARY COMPUTATION
, 1997
"... This paper introduces the ant colony system (ACS), a distributed algorithm that is applied to the traveling salesman problem (TSP). In the ACS, a set of cooperating agents called ants cooperate to find good solutions to TSP’s. Ants cooperate using an indirect form of communication mediated by a pher ..."

Object fusion in mediator systems
- INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON VERY LARGE DATA BASES
, 1996
"... One of the main tasks of mediators is to fuse information from heterogeneous information sources. This may involve, for example, removing redundancies, and resolving inconsistencies in favor of the most reliable source. The problem becomes harder when the sources are unstructured/semistructured and ..."

The Context Toolkit: Aiding the Development of Context-Enabled Applications
- University of Karlsruhe
, 1999
"... Context-enabled applications are just emerging and promise richer interaction by taking environmental context into account. However, they are difficult to build due to their distributed nature and the use of unconventional sensors. The concepts of toolkits and widget libraries in graphical user inte ..."

We introduce the concept of context widgets that mediate between the environment and the application in the same way graphical widgets mediate between the user
Context-Aware Computing Applications
, 1995
"... This paper describes systems that examine and react to an individual's changing context. Such systems can promote and mediate people's mleractlOns with devices, computers, and other people, and they can help navigate unfamiliar places. We bel1eve that a lunded amount of information coveTIn ..."

A capacity theory of comprehension: Individual differences in working memory
- Psychological Review
, 1992
"... A theory of the way working memory capacity constrains comprehension is proposed. The theory proposes that both processing and storage are mediated by activation and that the total amount of activation available in working memory varies among individuals. Individual differences in working memory cap ..."

Answering Queries Using Views: A Survey

The problem of answering queries using views is to find efficient methods of answering a query using a set of previously defined materialized views over the database, rather than accessing the database relations. The problem has recently received significant attention because of its relevance to a w ..."

Finally, the problem arises in data integration systems, where data sources can be described as precomputed views over a mediated schema. This article
In vivo gene delivery and stable transduction of nondividing cells by a lentiviral vector
