However, in some locations there are no live weather stations that athletes can rely on; therefore, the proposed idea is to create an automated system that can collect weather data from two nearby weather stations and interpolate the data by using formulas in order to identify the weather data in between these stations. Consequently, using the available technologies and applying the proposed formulas would add value to tackling this issue.","PeriodicalId":271670,"journal":{"name":"2011 7th International Conference on Next Generation Web Services Practices","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127697010","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}

An XQuery language extension lets users easily express such dependencies, which are then continuously resolved with the required data at runtime. Query specifications are abstracted from physical deployment, allowing the platform to distribute the execution and to elastically scale up and down. We evaluate several aspects of our prototype in a Cloud computing environment.","PeriodicalId":271670,"journal":{"name":"2011 7th International Conference on Next Generation Web Services Practices","volume":"104 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121771745","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 show that this model offers several means to fulfill complex search tasks that are hard to be achieved by other existing services.

It comprises a large amount of databases on the Web that are accessed through Web query interfaces related to different domains. The content of the Deep Web can not be reachable by traditional search engines, what makes almost impossible for common users to get access to this useful information. There are several problems related to the search for content in the Deep Web. One of them is the automatic identification of Web query interfaces, being this a mean to access the information in the Deep Web. The task of classify HTML forms contained inside Web page as Web query interface is challenging due to their enormous heterogeneity. This paper introduce a strategy that automatically identifies Web query interfaces independent of their domain. We make an adequate selection of HTML elements and use them appropriately to build characteristic vectors that are used as input of a supervised classifier to determine if a Web page contains or not a Web query interface. The experimental results show that the proposed strategy is efficient and accurate, achieving better classification results than works previously reported.","PeriodicalId":271670,"journal":{"name":"2011 7th International Conference on Next Generation Web Services Practices","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132482712","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}

Often, these relationships are not easily spotted by search engines because they are not explicit. Still, when searching for content, users would certainly appreciate to receive results indicating all resources that are somehow related to their topic of interest without having to explicitly request for it. In spite of this trend, current technology for declaring and describing resources on the Internet as well as their inter-relationships is very much fragmented and the most commonly used standards, such as HTML, do not offer adequate functionality. While the goal of the MPEG-21 standard is to provide an all encompassing, universal and standard way to perform the declaration of digital resources, the work being developed in the IST CONVERGENCE project has shown that this standard, (specifically its part 3, Digital Item Identification), also has a limited ability to specify relationships between digital resources. This document presents a proposed extension to MPEG-21 Digital Item Identification, which enables it to support a uniform, semantically expressive and precise specification of the relationships between MPEG-21 digital items, rendering it a much more effective tool for a ubiquitous representation and interconnection of digital resources.","PeriodicalId":271670,"journal":{"name":"2011 7th International Conference on Next Generation Web Services Practices","volume":"122 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123995436","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}
