These models allow the sampling of data at the sensor nodes' internal memory. The aggregated data is transmitted to the sink node when some predefined conditions are fulfilled. It is very likely that monitored data samples may remain unchanged for significant time depending upon the environmental conditions being monitored. This paper suggests a data reduction algorithm which exploits the non-variability in the aggregated data samples at the sensor nodes. The proposed data reduction algorithm allows the accommodation of more information such as video data in WS packets. The throughput of such kind of wireless sensor network is investigated in this paper. Results show that the data aggregation and reduction can increase the maximum throughput of WS.","PeriodicalId":256633,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Collaboration Technologies and Systems (CTS)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125707014","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 poster uses emergency & disaster response management as the exemplar for the over-arching concept. Effective emergency & disaster response management requires a far more mature and complex approach than has been heretofore applied. Current practices have made strides in many areas yet a fully effective integrated system is yet to be developed. A more effective approach requires an inter-organizational, multidiscipline collaborative methodology that enables incongruent communities to situate themselves into a coordinated functional matrix. This matrix would facilitate self-alignment into the overall emergency preparedness, response and recovery environment thereby improving assessment, the identification of gaps and the acceleration of effective response. This more holistic approach requires committed collaboration and the application of appropriate technology to establish a truly useful coordinating framework.","PeriodicalId":256633,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Collaboration Technologies and Systems (CTS)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124642633","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 then evaluate the utility of the technology, and its impact on the people and their behavior in the meeting, concluding that such a support system brings added value to the meeting outcome in a number of ways.","PeriodicalId":256633,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Collaboration Technologies and Systems (CTS)","volume":"91 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125497021","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}

As the latter always find new ways to commit crimes and avoid detection, research in the field of fraud is always evolving. However, transactional data and feedback from existing services are lacking. This article addresses this issue by proposing a synthetic data generator. Our idea is to model the behavior of various actors to generate testing data that researchers can use to evaluate approaches for identifying fraudulent transactions. This paper presents our approach and prototype. The logs generator was evaluated by comparing the generated synthetic logs with real ones.","PeriodicalId":256633,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Collaboration Technologies and Systems (CTS)","volume":"181 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130012924","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}

It departs from the problems pertaining to large-scale, technically demanding one-off construction projects, such as in our case studies, the building of specialized offshore service vessels. The requirements are unique, as are the explicit ambitions to be “lean”, in other words, avoid waste and re-engineering by making sure that the process is customer-driven and rational. Emphasis is on efficiency rather than effectiveness. This set-up poses new demands to the collaborative systems and technologies, which we in this paper have addressed with the design of a new type of Documentation-emtric ERP, which we have called “Paperstack”. The ambition is to support inter-organizational lean-interactive systems engineering in an integrated platform, and the next step for our research, naturally, is to put the systems into factual use. This paper summarizes the design ideas.","PeriodicalId":256633,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Collaboration Technologies and Systems (CTS)","volume":"121 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132087297","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}
