To address this problem, we design an approach which mainly has two features. First, we explore potential semantic relationship between different objects and make full use of them to build a semantic buffer on server end, enhancing search speed. Second, we put another relatively small semantic buffer on each client so as to adapt to each individual user's interests, further improving the whole search efficiency and reducing server's load. Through testing on a practical platform, we testified that this semantic double-buffer based search approach can not only effectively reduce user's request response time, but considerably release server's load, bringing a high scalability.","PeriodicalId":422080,"journal":{"name":"Second International Conference on the Digital Society","volume":"141 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114438102","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}

For this purpose, we introduce a production function model and estimate the effect of Spam mail. As a result, we find that the existence of Spam mail decreases not only the level of the GDP (Gross Domestic Product), which is about 464 billion yen (0.1% of the Japanese GDP), but also reduces labor productivity. This implies that the existence of Spam mail directly and indirectly damages the entire economy. Therefore, we suggest a full-fledged introduction of \"Outbound Port 25 Blocking \" to all ISPs (Internet service providers) and \"sendmail authentication\" to all firms as effective Spam mail counter- measures.","PeriodicalId":422080,"journal":{"name":"Second International Conference on the Digital Society","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131075584","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 systems are browsed for health information, and online interactions take place with medical experts as well as with people who have similar health problems. This paper presents a study of the usage of two different types of health systems: Ask the Expert system and online communities for people with overweight. The study focused on the different types of questions as well as information, advice and recommendations posted in the systems. Starting point of the study was the questions and answers presented in the Ask the Expert system. The results show how the systems serve as complements, and suggestions on how to enable the users to easily cross-use the systems are presented. Such development could help the users to get a fuller picture and better understanding of different health issues.","PeriodicalId":422080,"journal":{"name":"Second International Conference on the Digital Society","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129346311","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}

Initially, the system was built onto classic ontological knowledge representation for the use in a multi-agent system. Events occurring were classified using object matching with model events. After comparisons with type scenarios, the system could predict if a crisis can happen. A better understanding of crisis appeared and the system was completely working but, only if the main agent which has the task of questioning the user was replaced with a human because an ontological model is not well adapted for such work. This gives us motive to reconsider the role and the design of the system, stressing the need of a better knowledge management. A collection based knowledge representation seemed to be a good alternative to gather and organize critical information without losing time and information in a type matching process. It is one of the first times this concept of collection, well known in the artistic domain is used in an IT system. We will explain this particular knowledge representation through the successful example of the CHEOPS Project.","PeriodicalId":422080,"journal":{"name":"Second International Conference on the Digital Society","volume":"89 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124388738","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}
