Automated testing helps to simulate user's action on the User Interface and therefore check if the system behaves properly and in accordance to Scenarios that describe functional requirements. However, most of tools supporting BDD requires that tests should be written using low-level events and components that only exist when the system is already implemented. As a consequence of such low-level of abstraction, BDD tests can hardly be reused with diverse artifacts and with versions of the system. To address this problem, this paper proposes to raise the abstraction level by the means of a behavior-based ontology that is aimed at supporting test automation. The paper presents an ontology and an ontology-based approach for automating the test of functional requirements of interactive systems. With the help of a case study for the flight tickets e-commerce domain, we demonstrate how tests written using our ontology can be used to assess functional requirements using different artifacts, from low-fidelity to full-fledged UI Prototypes.","PeriodicalId":414503,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 11th International Conference on Semantic Computing (ICSC)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127196326","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 approach uses formalized knowledge from the RV process and stress, operating, and load profiles, so-called Mission Profiles (MPs). In contrast to the error-prone industrially established manual procedure, we show how component characteristics are formalized in OWL in order to form the foundation of an efficient automated analysis selection and decision support during the RV process. The proposed approach is based on the idea of mapping MPs to an OWL representation so to allow to perform semantic queries against MP data to improve their integration into the RV process. The resulting ontology-supported application framework has been applied to an industrial use-case from automotive power electronics. We present experimental results showing that the RV process can be significantly improved in terms of reduced design time and increased exhaustiveness by automating the analyses selection step and the provisioning of all the relevant data to be used.","PeriodicalId":414503,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 11th International Conference on Semantic Computing (ICSC)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115294771","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 users struggle to navigate through this wealth of information, the need for the development of an automated system that can extract the required information becomes urgent. This paper presents a Question Answering system to ease the process of information retrieval. Question Answering systems have been around for quite some time and are a sub-field of information retrieval and natural language processing. The task of any Question Answering system is to seek an answer to a free form factual question. The difficulty of pinpointing and verifying the precise answer makes question answering more challenging than simple information retrieval done by search engines. The research objective of this paper is to develop a novel approach to Question Answering based on a composition of conventional approaches of Information Retrieval (IR) and Natural Language processing (NLP). The focus is also on exploring the use of a structured and annotated knowledge base as opposed to an unstructured knowledge base.

However, analyzing and estimating such kinds of impact from biological data resources are difficult even for data analysts with biological background. This paper presents MicroSIA, a new analytical method for human gut microbiome's effect by extracting the unknown relations with other adjunct metadata such as human attributes with Semantic Inverse Analysis. The most important feature of our method is the inverse processes (Semantic Inverse Analysis, computing the selection of axes in inversed direction to clustering) to discover potentially existing bacteria-combinations for classifying nationalities in human attribute data. MicroSIA extracts unique bacteria-combination selected from all bacteria-combinations by our original criteria such as the purity of a data cluster and the range of target human attributes.

So, it is important to monitor and manage the fluctuations in the variable. At this time, the signal is generated. However, the signal has a moving average and non-uniform variance, and different lengths in specific portion. Also it has a different total length. Recently, the DTW(Dynamic Time Warping) is used to coordinate of signal. However, the mean and variance of the signal is not uniform, there arises a problem that the singularity occurs. Singularity means unintuitive alignments that single point in time series connects onto a portion of another time series. To solve the problem that the singularity occurs, in this paper, we propose to use MODWT (Maximal Overlap Discrete Wavelet Transform) as a feature of signal and then calculate the warping path using divided matrices. We solve the singularity problem when applying the DTW to process the signal. Also, by comparing the result of applying process signal to DTW and proposed method, the proposed method is confirmed to be better than DTW in process signal.","PeriodicalId":414503,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 11th International Conference on Semantic Computing (ICSC)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124315406","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}

During the last few decades, research in both score and audio technology has opened the doors for automated, or (in many cases) semi-automated analysis. There remains a big gap, however, between the field of audio (performance) and score-based systems. In this research, we propose a web-based Interactive system for Multi-modal Music Analysis (IMMA), that provides musicologists with an intuitive interface for a joint analysis of performance and score. As an initial use-case, we implemented a tension analysis module in the system. Tension is a semantic characteristic of music that directly shapes the music experience and thus forms a crucial topic for researchers in musicology and music cognition. The module includes methods for calculating tonal tension (from the score) and timbral tension (from the performance). An audio-to-score alignment algorithm based on dynamic time warping was implemented to automate the synchronization between the audio and score analysis. The resulting system was tested on three performances (violin, flute, and guitar) of Paganini's Caprice No. 24 and four piano performances of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. We statistically analyzed the results of tonal and timbral tension and found correlations between them. A clustering algorithm was implemented to find segments of music (both within and between performances) with similar shape in their tension curve. These similar segments are visualized in IMMA. By displaying selected audio and score characteristics together with musical score following in sync with the performance playback, IMMA offers a user-friendly intuitive interface to bridge the gap between audio and score analysis.","PeriodicalId":414503,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 11th International Conference on Semantic Computing (ICSC)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115007579","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}
