At the moment, such points can be collected and spent only within the same shop (or shops from the same consortium), which makes it only interesting for customers visiting that particular store frequently. However, especially with the increase of e-shops, customers easily switch between stores. With this new shopping behaviour, such programs are less attractive and as such become less effective, requiring a more novel approach. One possibility could be to allow customers to collect and spent loyalty points across stores. In fact, this is just one use case of a more general issue. There are multiple cases in which people receive (digital) resources from organizations or other parties and want to use or exchange them across other organizations or parties. In this paper, we propose a generic framework that allows customers to exchange resources across different parties. We propose to implement this framework with a blockchain-based solution, making the customers in full control and awareness of their available resources as well as creating a decentralized, trustable and safe environment. We present the major research questions, the general concepts of our generic framework, the proposed solution, and a proof of concept of this solution.","PeriodicalId":446280,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 21st International Conference on Information Integration and Web-based Applications & Services","volume":"170 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126648631","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}

However, accessing this data in an ad hoc manner remains an unsolved problem due to the diversity of data management approaches, formats and storage frameworks, resulting in the need to effectively access and process distributed heterogeneous data at scale. For years, Semantic Web techniques have addressed data integration challenges with practical knowledge representation models and ontology-based mappings. Leveraging these techniques, we provide a solution enabling uniform access to large, heterogeneous data sources, without enforcing centralization; thus realizing the vision of a Semantic Data Lake. In this paper, we define the core concepts underlying this vision and the architectural requirements that systems implementing it need to fulfill. Squerall, an example of such a system, is an extensible framework built on top of state-of-the-art Big Data technologies. We focus on Squerall's distributed query execution techniques and strategies, empirically evaluating its performance throughout its various sub-phases.","PeriodicalId":446280,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 21st International Conference on Information Integration and Web-based Applications & Services","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124851331","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}

One of the unexplored components of human communication found online in written form is an emotional expression. However, despite the concreteness of the online expressions in written form, it remains unpredictable which kinds of emotions will be expressed in individual messages of Twitter users. To investigate this, we perform an investigation on observing emotions unfolding in a consecutive sequence of tweets for a particular user based on his/her past history. In this paper, we propose a method on given a set of tweets related with some events (identified by the usage of a hashtag), determines how those sentiments will be distributed on behalf of a person within a conversation. We present the Hidden Markov Model (HMM) to understand the nature of emotion dynamics in Twitter messages.","PeriodicalId":446280,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 21st International Conference on Information Integration and Web-based Applications & Services","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134167699","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}

Several experiments were carried out with the aim of evaluating the effectiveness of our algorithm. The algorithm's results were compared with the cosine measure. Following the Cranfield paradigm, simulated datasets were used in the experiments.

CI systems offer a solution to problems that need cognitive skills, problem-solving capabilities, knowledge, know-how or experience at large scale. They help to facilitate and streamline large-scale problem-solving endeavours. The organizational perspective on CI systems offers us two strands of discussion. On the one hand, it can be about understanding the potential of CI systems for today's organizations. On the other hand, CI systems can be considered as organizations themselves and can be investigated as such. We start by reviewing the state-of-the art of CI frameworks [19, 20]. What are the essential building blocks of a CI system? Who uses them? For what, how and why? We come up with a generalized framework [19] that serves us as a basis for further investigations. From a governance perspective, today's organizations are recursive-feedback control systems, usually expressed in the form of process-oriented management [5, 9, 10], see also [6, 7]. A deeper look reveals a plethora of different styles of organizational culture [14, 18]. Still, viable organizations have in common certain essential sub systems, which are policy making, external and internal steering, the primary activities and an informational backbone [1-3]. How can we exploit CI systems to support these organizational building blocks? Can CI systems be made an integral part of organizations to make them more stable towards distortions; more adaptive towards an ever changing environment; more agile towards the organization's innovative potential? Answers to such questions would free CI systems from being niche players in certain large-scale problem-solving initiatives. Reflecting back from the potential of CI systems in today's organizations, we ask: what can be learned with respect to the design and implementation of future CI systems; and: how to break the silos, i.e., how to integrate CI systems with related paradigms such as knowledge management systems, compare also with [4, 8, 16, 17] and latest computing resources such as big data and the data science toolkit?","PeriodicalId":446280,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 21st International Conference on Information Integration and Web-based Applications & Services","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121955727","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}
