The proposed method is based on the computation of neighborhood relationships between geographical objects during a time interval. This kind of information is non-explicitly stored in spatio-temporal database and is extracted by the means of special mining queries enriched by time management parameters. The general aim of our approach is to develop a method that utilizes the inherent structure of spatiotemporal information as well as its rich semantics to derive spatio-temporal association rules in order to improve the decision making process about land changes and resulting prohibited risks.","PeriodicalId":137864,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Conference on Information Technology and e-Services","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131474235","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The very complex 3D structure of urban area and its fluid dynamic behavior cause to be necessary very dense sampling grid to evaluate quantitative pollution indexes that can be correlated to real observed health effects or to obtain accurate pollution trend analysis. In order to reduce the high building cost and the management complexity of these high density monitoring grids, some papers proposed mobile monitoring stations to piggyback on public buses obtaining more dense sampling grid with fewer stations. In this paper we propose an Health Navigation System application for smartphone, based on a network of low cost, high precision, miniaturized wireless mobile monitoring system that can be easily embedded on bike frame. The mobile network makes available an accurate pollution urban map to our Navigation System that bikers can use to determine the healthiest route.","PeriodicalId":137864,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Conference on Information Technology and e-Services","volume":"8 4 Suppl 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123731227","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We propose in this article ScriptCOM, a model of adaptable components COM. The originality of this model is to be extensible towards the model COM while respecting our needs. To validate our proposal, we used ScriptCOM for the development of a financial business application of a store of sale and maintenance of computer equipment.","PeriodicalId":137864,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Conference on Information Technology and e-Services","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123975462","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In our work, we are interested in event extraction task which involves the filling of an event template. For each event, we extract its trigger expression, class and arguments.

Signing avatars help them to overcome these barriers. These virtual characters are able to “speak” Sign language and subsequently able to translate any kind of information into Sign language. Recently, thanks to the advances in virtual reality and human modeling techniques, signing avatars are increasingly used by deaf communities. Moreover, thanks to the apparition of new standards, 3D signing avatars are constantly exchanged and uploaded to the World Wide Web. Unfortunately, current search engines and catalog systems that deal with signing avatars are not indexing them efficiently. In this paper, we present a new approach to recognize and index 3D signed contents based on the recognition and classification of sign language parameters. Our approach uses an adaptation of the Longest common subsequence algorithm combined with Minkowski similarity measures.","PeriodicalId":137864,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Conference on Information Technology and e-Services","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129747110","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
