In mobile database systems as a distributed system extra problems such as location dependent queries, validity of results are mooted. Semantic cache is of the best solutions proposed for query processing in which data and its semantic description are cached in the client system. Existing semantic cache schemas are not capable to answer all type of queries and there is a need for such a solution. In this paper, an exhaustive semantic cache schema is presented that is able to answer all type of queries such as join and group by. It uses query graph model to achieve this goal. In this schema, as a semantic cache schema, structure of cache items based on query graph model, cache management algorithm and also cache items replacement algorithm are proposed. Simulation results show that using this schema improves performance of query processing in mobile database systems in term of response time, required bandwidth and also number of connections to the server.","PeriodicalId":415013,"journal":{"name":"2008 Third International Conference on Digital Information Management","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134624469","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 practise has shown until now information system (IS) technologies find a most suitable application in e-government, which enables the further evolution of the services that are offered, the need that are satisfied and the areas that are covered by it. The information initiatives is used for the implementation of e-government initiatives need to be in pace with the growing call of citizens for quality, cost effective services, and responsiveness in such a dynamic and continuously changing environment. Finding solutions to the security implications is still a mirage, though so much have been put in placed to solve these inherent problems without yielding much result.

Additionally this study revealed that users used terms identified within the retrieved result sets for reformulating their queries. Users also used provided terms for formulating their queries while some terms that users typed in either for formulating or reformulating their queries were repeated even in queries with no strictly related subject of interest. Regarding the length of the queries outcomes showed that users, consistently to previous studies, typed in mostly one word per query. Furthermore, approximately half of the terms users chose for carrying out their searches were actually included in the Eurovoc thesaurus.","PeriodicalId":415013,"journal":{"name":"2008 Third International Conference on Digital Information Management","volume":"97 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123817181","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}

There is lack of support in Unicode database application such as collation and searching. Powerful collation strategy has necessitated to the all embracing research in the locality of natural language processing. Consequently, we propose a new collation algorithm MyCollate2 extend from MyCollate1 for Myanmar language. This collation algorithm is based on heuristics chart or table. This method foremost slices the syllables of names and then collates them according to the traditional standard Myanmar language dictionary book order. Propose new heuristics chart can work well not only for syllable segmentation but also for collation of words. This algorithm can collate Myanmar names as well as Myanmar words with complex syllable structure such as Pali, Pali loan styles, subscript styles and kinzi styles. This paper tested with Myanmar name, Pali words from Damma books and dictionary words from dictionary book. The experimental result shows that syllable slicing accuracy get 99.55% compare with others and show slicing performance. Collation accuracy gets 95.88% and is better accuracy than previous collation algorithm MyCollate1.","PeriodicalId":415013,"journal":{"name":"2008 Third International Conference on Digital Information Management","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125611104","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}

Researchers have been working on morphological structure of Bangla for machine translation and a considerable volume of work is available. So far, no attempt has been made to integrate the works for a concrete computational output. In this paper we particularly emphasize on bringing previous works on morphological analysis in the framework of UNL, with the goal to produce a Bangla-UNL dictionary, as UNL structures can provide, for any morphological analysis, a unified base to fit into already developed universal conversion systems of UNL. We explain the morphological rules of Bangla words for UNL structures. These rules tend to expose the modifications of parts of speech with regards to tense, person, subject etc. of the words of a sentence. Here we outline the morphology of nouns, verbs and adjective phrases only.","PeriodicalId":415013,"journal":{"name":"2008 Third International Conference on Digital Information Management","volume":"84 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123269677","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 should be prevented that clients become incompatible with the server after server-side changes in the data model. In practice it appears that existing systems donpsilat always meet these requirements and that known solutions are lacking supporting frameworks in the development of these services. This paper presents a framework for building RESTful services that publish data matching an internal object model. The internal objects are presented to the client by XML which conforms to an XML schema that is agnostic of the framework. The conversion between the XML documents and the internal objects is backed by the framework and abstracted from the service developer. An implementation of this framework in Java is described, together with client-side software that also relieves the client from marshaling logic and processing the serverpsilas response.","PeriodicalId":415013,"journal":{"name":"2008 Third International Conference on Digital Information Management","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123993812","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}

Analysis of survey data supports the proposed framework and uncovers two higher order factors that correspond to the concepts of exploration and exploitation. By focusing attention on the importance of problem-solving in transforming knowledge into business value, this research suggests new ways to conceptualize knowledge management practices.","PeriodicalId":415013,"journal":{"name":"2008 Third International Conference on Digital Information Management","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115320822","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}

This is achieved by analyzing the relationships among the integrity tests (simplified form of integrity constraints) to be evaluated for a given update operation. This improves the checking mechanism by preventing delays during the process of checking constraints and performing the update. Hence, our model speeds up the checking process.","PeriodicalId":415013,"journal":{"name":"2008 Third International Conference on Digital Information Management","volume":"360 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124047287","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}
