MetOcean data are meteorological and oceanographic datasets that provide information to meteorological industries, petroleum industries as well as research institutes. The MetOcean has a myriad of data and scattered along the globe which lack Linked Data or Semantic Web capabilities. Linked Data is a concept of publishing interoperable data globally. As a way of integrating MetOcean data, this work used D2R server, a server that manages data sources and translates it to Web data. Therefore, the paper elucidates the process of developing Linked Data in Meteorological sector. Also, the results were queried using SPARQL endpoint as a graph. This approach was analyzed using F-measure which reveals the system is sufficient for querying and accessing the data as a graph.","PeriodicalId":368100,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Computer and Information Sciences (ICCOINS)","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121327591","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}

High impact 3D swarming applications for such systems include autonomous mapping, surveying, servicing, environmental monitoring and disaster site management. For distributed robotic applications, such as quad copter swarms, it is critical that the robots are able to localise themselves autonomously with respect to other robots and to share information. The importance of fast and reliable dissemination of localised information in these elastic three-dimensional networks provides us sufficient reason to present a distributed framework and hardware settings for passing this information pervasively through the swarm. The research field of Internet of Things (IoT) have for several years been addressing issues around low-power, low-bandwidth wireless communication. By applying IoT technologies to the challenges around swarming, new opportunities are created. However, since IoT have been primarily used with stationary devices, the introduction of flying sensors will add more challenges to address.","PeriodicalId":368100,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Computer and Information Sciences (ICCOINS)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127000815","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}

These assumptions include independence, normality and homogeneity of variance. Conversely, neural network based models are not constrained by such assumptions. The performance of the two techniques is calculated based on coefficient of determination (R2) and mean square error (MSE).

It can increase their competitive advantages in the target markets, and enhance the relationships with customers and their satisfactions. There is no agreement about what service quality is and how it should be measure. Accurate measurement of the quality of electronic service is a complex process due to the nature of the service because it is immaterial and untypical product. It has been indicated through the literature that there is a lack of universal set of definitions, model and dimensions for service quality measurement. Since the service quality measures in higher education have great importance in achieving high tuition-based returns, e-service institutions of higher education are subjected to continuous pressure to surpass their competitors in presenting better e-service quality. This paper proposes an e-service quality conceptual model for measuring e-service quality in higher education sectors in Malaysia. Nine dimensions are proposed for this model based on reviewing the related literature. The dimensions include efficiency, availability, privacy/security, fulfilment, reliability, web design, interactivity, information, and responsiveness. Results of this paper may help to build a proper scale to measure the quality of e-services in higher education, which assist to improve the performance and effectiveness of e-services to achieve users' satisfaction.","PeriodicalId":368100,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Computer and Information Sciences (ICCOINS)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122198476","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 cloud, many techniques are used to secure the data. Data encryption is a data security technique which is widely used for data security. Deciding data security approach for the data without understanding the security needs of the data is not a technically valid approach. Before applying any security on data in cloud, it is best to know the security needs of the data. What data need security and what data do not need security. In this paper, we propose a data classification approach based on data confidentiality. K-NN data classification technique is modulated in the cloud virtual environment. The aim to use K-NN is to classify the data based on their security needs. The data is classified into two classes, sensitive and non-sensitive (public) data. After data classification we got that what data need security and what data does not need security. The RSA algorithm is used to encrypt the sensitive data to keep it secure. We used CloudSim simulator to find the results of proposed approach in cloud. The proposed approach will easily decide the security needs of the data. After the data classification, it is easy to select an appropriate security for data according to the need of data. The results show that this approach is appropriate as compared to store data in cloud without understanding the security requirements of data.","PeriodicalId":368100,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Computer and Information Sciences (ICCOINS)","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125105709","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}

A total number of 50 students are involved in the study. They are divided into two experimental and control groups. A pre-test and post-test was conducted. The findings show slightly higher achievement among students in the Smart board group as compared to students not using it, thus exhibiting the advantage of using the Smart board instruction.
