Identifying the related scientific papers is the unfinished agenda in the scientific research. Keywords are used as signals in the search process where it represents the text and such keys that reflect the content of papers. These keys do not solve the complexities in identifying semantic content and hence we develop a web based recommender system which relies on technical terms. These terms lead to the generation of bipartite graphs that contain the significant words from text corpus and technical terms generated. They are further used to rank the related papers using HITS algorithm for analyzing the bipartite graphs. Experimental results on our method show promising results. Read More Read Less

Abstract In modern software engineering practice, the ability to specify ambiguity less software requirements in a natural language (NL) in a seamless way is highly valuable and desirable. Though, the software requirements are typically captured in natural languages (NL) such as English, there is a very high probability that more than half NL requirements can be ambiguous. For example, Mich identified... In modern software engineering practice, the ability to specify ambiguity less software requirements in a natural language (NL) in a seamless way is highly valuable and desirable. Though, the software requirements are typically captured in natural languages (NL) such as English, there is a very high probability that more than half NL requirements can be ambiguous. For example, Mich identified that approx. 72% of the NL requirements are potentially ambiguous. A primary reason of such ambiguous NL requirements is syntactic and semantic ambiguities in a natural language such as English. A problem with ambiguous NL requirements is that a software engineer can miss-interpret requirements and can generate an erroneous and absurd software model. In this paper, we aim to address this challenge by presenting a novel approach that is based a semantically controlled NL representation for software requirements. To generate a semantically controlled NL representation, we propose the use of Semantic of Business Vocabulary and Rules (SBVR) standard. We solve a case study to bear out that a SBVR based controlled representation can not only help in generating accurate and consistent software models but can also simplify the machine processing of requirements. The results show that our approach can be helpful in generating the accurate and consistent software models from NL software requirements. A Java implementation of the used approach is also presented a proof of concept that is also available as an Eclipse plugin. Read More Read Less

The usage of web applications can be measured with the use of metrics. In a LMS, a typical web application, there are no appropriate metrics which would facilitate their qualitative and quantitative measurement. The purpose of this paper is to propose the use of existing techniques with a different way, in order to analyze the log file of a typical LMS and deduce useful conclusions. Three metrics for course usage measurement are used. It also describes two algorithms for course classification and suggestion actions. Although the case study concerns a LMS it can also be applied to other web applications such as e-government, e-commerce, e-banking, blogs e.t.c. Read More Read Less

Abstract When high-resolution, copyrighted photographic images are displayed on the Internet, they must be protected from being copied by screen capture or by file. HTML and a Web browser alone do not provide protection, e .g., screen capture by a standalone program can not be prevented. This paper describes a Java system that provides copy protection for Internet display of photographic... When high-resolution, copyrighted photographic images are displayed on the Internet, they must be protected from being copied by screen capture or by file. HTML and a Web browser alone do not provide protection, e .g., screen capture by a standalone program can not be prevented. This paper describes a Java system that provides copy protection for Internet display of photographic images organized into albums. Included is protection aga inst image file copy and against effective screen capture. The system involves three software components, two used by an administrator to build albums and a one used by client viewers. The system supports any number of albums, provides image annotation, zooming, and searching, requires no server-side software, maintains client privacy, and, using Java Web Start, does not require clients to install any software locally. The system is being used to maintain albums of noncommercial high-resolution historical and contemporary photos Read More Read Less

This paper is based on the findings of a literature review on the field of World Wide Web. A list of some key publications and explicitly provided literature is briefly included in this paper; addressing the importance of the field of Semantic Web and describing its contributions as the mechanism for structuring the information over the web in a format so that machines can understand the semantic context. Highlighting the technological innovation of Semantic Web, this paper presents Ontology some domain specific languages for Ontology construction: eXtensible Mark-up Language, Resource Description Framework and Web Ontology Language; offering different ways of explicitly structuring and richly annotating Web pages. Furthermore this paper discusses how Ontology is contributing to the semantic based web system development with some example of real time applications and concludes with some existing limitations needing to be overcome.
