Information-Centric Content Management Framework for Software Defined Internet of Vehicles Towards Application Specific Services

Software defined network (SDN) architectures are assimilated with vehicular communication networks in order to improve the real-time application support for the driving users. Internet of vehicles (IoV) paradigm provides information-centric application support for the road-side users. Information sharing through the road-side units (RSUs) influences the application services due to the frequent change in physical attributes of the vehicles. Considering the application oriented services and information handling in IoV, this article introduces information-centric content management framework (ICMF) for effective information utilization in the vehicular networks. This framework performs data acquisition, smoothing and management process for effective information analysis and better offloading. The proposed framework incorporates the functions of linear vector quantization for classifying acquired information and segregating it for maximum utilization. This quantization is recurrent in both continuous and alternating learning process to improve the reliability of information handling and management. The performance of the proposed framework is verified using simulations and the results prove its efficiency. The proposed framework is found to maximize resource utilization and offloading ratio with less analysis time and overhead. The simulation is verified for the varying density of vehicles, offloading ratio, and communication time, information utilization.

Retrieval of Video Contents based on Deep Parameter Analysis using Machine Learning

In the recent past, video content-based communication hasincreases with a significant consumption of space and time complexity.The introduction of the data is exceedingly improved in video information as the video information incorporates visual and sound data. The mix of these two kinds of information for a single data portrayal is exceedingly compelling as the broad media substance can make an ever-increasing number of effects on the human cerebrum. Thus, most of the substance for training or business or restorative area are video-based substances. This development in video information have impacted a significant number of the professional to fabricate and populate video content library for their use. Hence, retrieval of the accurate video data is the prime task for all video content management frameworks. A good number of researches are been carried out in the field of video retrieval using various methods. Most of the parallel research outcomes have focused on content retrieval based on object classification for the video frames and further matching the object information with other video contents based on the similar information. This method is highly criticised and continuously improving as the method solely relies on fundamental object detection and classification using the preliminary characteristics. These characteristics are primarily depending on shape or colour or area of the objects and cannot be accurate for detection of similarities. Hence, this work proposes, a novel method for similarity-based retrieval of video contents using deep characteristics. The work majorly focuses on extraction of moving objects, static objects separation, motion vector analysis of the moving objects and the traditional parameters as area from the video contents and further perform matching for retrieval or extraction of the video data. The proposed novel algorithm for content retrieval demonstrates 98% accuracy with 90% reduction in time complexity.

AI-Josyu: Thinking Support System in Class by Real-time Speech Recognition and Keyword Extraction

In this paper, we present a thinking support system, AI-Josyu. This system also operates as a class support system which helps to teachers for lightening their work. AI-Josyu is implemented based on media-driven real-time content management framework. The system links real world media and legacy media contents together. In resent years, it is easier to collect a large amount of various kinds of data which are created with sensors in the real world. The system realizes interconnection and utilization of legacy media contents. The legacy media contents are generated and scattered on the Internet. The framework has four modules, which are called “acquisition,” “extraction,” “selection,” and “retrieval.” The real world media and the legacy media contents are interconnected by these modules. This interconnection includes semantic components. This system records teacher's voice of its lecture in real time and presents retrieved legacy media contents corresponding to subject of the lecture. By this presentation, preparing of the legacy contents is not required. This system automatically retrieves and shows the legacy media contents. This system helps students to understand contents of the lecture. In addition, the system attends to expansion of ideas. We constructed the system and conducted the demonstration in class. It shows that the system is helpful to teacher and students for expansion of thinking.

Articulating the Research Methods in the Design Science Research Methodology: A Case on the Process of Developing a Social Content Management Framework

Articulating the Research Methods in the Design Science Research Methodology: A Case on the Process of Developing a Social Content Management Framework

Developing the Dimensions of a Social Content Management Framework

The rise of social media has transformed the way of collaboration between organisations and customers. Social content resulting from the active collaboration between both parties on a social media platform should be managed accordingly. Thus, a social content management (SCM) framework should be developed as a guide to manage the social content. Such SCM framework should be able to augment existing frameworks, which mainly focuses on the value of social content for the organisations. Hence, based on the service science perspective, this article proposes a SCM framework that focusses on value to both organisations and its customers. In order to do this, the concept of Service Dominant Logic and the DART model are adopted to explore and extract the elements and factors that collectively become the dimensions of the proposed SCM framework. Experts’ review of the elements and factors is conducted to ensure that the dimensions in the SCM framework are acceptable and have practical value. The proposed framework is then validated via an instrument whose content validity is investigated by using Lawshe’s Technique. This framework could assist the organisations in decision-making process towards innovating services and in the management of social content.

Evaluating the Applicability of a Social Content Management Framework: A Case Analysis

Social media platform plays an important role in engaging customers. The social content resulting from social media interactions between the organisations and the customers need a proper management. Therefore, in this work, a framework for social content management is introduced to support the management of social content. This framework is developed based on two main concepts. The first is the existing concepts that are present in content management, whilst the second concept is derived from the theory of service science. This approach is adopted to cater for existing concepts in enterprise content management, that are relevant to social content management and also to cater for the concept of value co-creation which forms the basis of engagement between the organisations and the customers. The applicability of the proposed social content management framework needs to be evaluated in order to determine the extent of its applicability in practical situations. Therefore, the main focus of this article is to report the usability of the proposed framework against the practices of the government agencies of Malaysia in managing the social content. The evaluation method used is based on the score of system usability scale. The results from the evaluation revealed that the proposed framework is usable and is deemed practical to be used in organisations.

MtCMF: A novel memory table based content management framework for automatic website generation

The desperate need for tools with features similar to the Content Management Systems (CMS), offering Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and providing flexibility for specific business and user demands, is the key motivation behind the work presented in this paper. A novel Content Management Framework (CMF), called mtCMF, is introduced. It offers user-friendly wizards and state-of-the-art adaptive structure. It does not have any constraints for use in terms of a predefined website structure, data types or database tables. Business objects can be easily defined by using the proposed mtCMF, and database tables are created from these objects automatically. mtCMF has an adaptive scaffolding architecture to allow generating Create, Read, Update, and Delete (CRUD) screens, based on the novel on-the-fly approach for all types of database tables. It has a flexible localization option to support multiple languages, and delivers Representational State Transfer (REST) services for mobile clients and remote application development. Its simple structure and novel wizard-based user-friendly interface make it superior to traditional CMS tools and web development frameworks. Performance analysis of mtCMF was carried out by using Blackfire Profiler. The results clearly have proved that mtCMF achieves better performance than its counterparts Laravel, Symfony, WordPress and Joomla.

Enterprise Content Risk Management: A Conceptual Framework for Digital Asset Risk Management

ABSTRACT Growth of data is exponential and as the organization's information needs for internal decision making expands from data in traditional systems to a variety of new sources both within the organizational boundaries and extended to external sources, the need for governance of these new digital assets is imperative. This paper proposes the Enterprise Content Risk Management (ECRM) framework. ECRM is a synthesis of COSO-ERM and Enterprise Content Management (ECM) frameworks. The ECRM leverages the strengths of the COSO-ERM overarching framework while focusing on the data lifecycle perspective of the Enterprise Content Management for organizational governance and compliance of digital assets. The proposed ECRM approach provides a framework for organizations to mitigate the risk associated with the rapid growth and inappropriate use of both structured and unstructured data.

Web framework points: an effort estimation methodology for Web application development using a content management framework

AbstractWeb applications are among the most popular and relevant kinds of application. Most Web applications are developed using a content management framework (CMF). CMF helps to accelerate the publication of large amounts of information and the development of Web applications. However, developing Web applications through CMF is not exempt from cost and time overruns, as in traditional software projects. Currently, there is no estimation model able to adequately measure the effort of developing a Web application.This work presents a new methodology, called web framework points, to estimate the effort of Web applications developed with CMF. Web framework points is a hybrid methodology, composed of a sizing phase, which follows specific guidelines, and an effort estimation phase, obtained by applying a cost model to the size model of the project to estimate. The sizing of the project takes into account not only usual functional requirements, as in function points analysis, but also elements specific for developing a Web application through CMF. We also present the experimental validation of the proposed methodology, performed on a dataset of 29 real‐world projects, of which 83% show an estimation error of less than 25%.

Digital mirror: A method to shape smart citizenship

The introduction of digital technology into home management is historically connected with home automation: systems are built to serve the user, who is considered satisfied if he does not have to worry about them.This paper will explore a different path whereby the user is highly involved in home management and uses a careful strategy based on highly efficient passive building behavior developed in the context of the Solar Decathlon competition, within the MED in Italy prototype.This strategy relies on a web-based “Dwelling Black Box”, in which all data on house behavior are sent to and saved on a database, building a timeline of houseliving aimed at raising the inhabitants’ awareness and consequences of their actions. The interface was developed with two focuses in particular: a 3D web interface, based on WebGL open standard, and integration into a content management framework, allowing multiple houses to be investigated as nodes of a social network of homes, so that behavior and performance data can be compared and exchanged. The whole is aimed at returning to the contemporary context the awareness and know-how of our grandmothers, who knew very well how to operate their homes: from “domotics” to “grandmothics”.

Automatic content filtering and publishing by email for the UP Open University Doctor of Communication Programme learning management system

The DComm website is an electronic learning environment using the Joomla Content Management Framework (CMF), designed specifically for the Doctor of Communication Programme offered by the University of the Philippines Open University (UPOU). Previously, when a faculty member or staff wanted to publish content on the website, content was first emailed to the web administrator, who uploaded it manually. While this method ensured that proper content was published on the site, publishing was delayed at times due to the unavailability of the web administrator. To enable DComm faculty members and staff to directly publish content without having to study web publishing or going through the web administrator, publishing content through email was enabled using Post-by-Email, an extension for Joomla that allows such functionality. The resulting website now allows authorised users to publish information in a particular section of the site by emailing content to a specific email address. However, without quality control over content that gets published, this practice raises the possibility of inappropriate content publishing. To address this issue, a strategy for content filtering and publishing that uses existing technologies such as email filters and SpamAssasin, an open source mail filter based on content matching rules, was designed and implemented. The result is a learning environment where faculty members and staff can automatically publish filtered content through email, making it immediately accessible to the students, ultimately providing for a more dynamic learning environment.

Diktuon: Drupal - CMS and Beyond

Libraries are continuing to broaden and develop their online presence. Patrons are no longer satisfied with static web pages detailing hours of operation, staff contact information, and services. Libraries have employed various tools to meet the ever-evolving needs of patrons. One such tool is the all-so-common “Content Management System” (CMS), with the most popular system known as Drupal (http://www.drupal.org). Simply stated, “Drupal is a free software package that allows you to easily organize, manage and publish your content, with an endless variety of customization” (http://www.drupal.org/about). Drupal was first developed by Dries Buytaert at the University of Antwerp in 1999 and was released into the open-source community under the name “Drupal” (an Anglicization of the Dutch word druppel or “drop”). Though Drupal is commonly referred to as a CMS, it is actually a “content management framework,” and, as such, it allows for extensibility and scalability through the addition of various user-created modules that build upon its core framework.1 Libraries have been employing Drupal in a number of ways, including managing the library’s web presence, extending the functionality of their online catalog, and providing a framework for digital collections.

A Robust Client Architecture on Android to Cater End-2-End Real-Time Content Management and Personalized IPTV Services to Mobile Internet Devices

Digital Video Content is now pervasive and services like IPTV are gaining traction on hand held devices too. Android, a software platform from Google, pioneering middleware and applications for handheld devices does not offer support for content management services by design. Motivated by these observations, we propose an aggregate model software platform to offer content management and value added services (VAS) like IPTV on android. The outline of paper is as follows: First, we discuss few related works to investigate and analyze industry-wide content management and delivery practices. Second, we discuss few characteristics of android architecture and detail the constraints associated with middleware to offer such VAS. Consequently, we describe the proposed software platform which addresses key inherent challenges like Efficiency, Extendibility and Security while achieving efficient content delivery. The Module Interconnection Architecture can be visualized to be constituted by three basic building blocks, namely: VAS Content Management framework, IPTV framework and Application Services framework. The architecture employs a different perspective of classifying content based on applications. We point out the need and rationale behind such a classification to correlate in an end-2-end IPTV architecture. We show the benefits of using the Application Services framework to ensure smooth and swift portability onto various flavors of android. Finally, we conclude by detailing some use-cases indicating content management services like Electronic Service Guide (ESG) on Android..

Architectures for the future networks and the next generation Internet: A survey

Networking research funding agencies in USA, Europe, Japan, and other countries are encouraging research on revolutionary networking architectures that may or may not be bound by the restrictions of the current TCP/IP based Internet. We present a comprehensive survey of such research projects and activities. The topics covered include various testbeds for experimentations for new architectures, new security mechanisms, content delivery mechanisms, management and control frameworks, service architectures, and routing mechanisms. Delay/disruption tolerant networks which allow communications even when complete end-to-end path is not available are also discussed.

Extensible open source content management systems and frameworks: a solution for many needs of a bioinformatics group

A common challenge for bioinformaticians, in either academic or industry laboratory environments, is providing informatic solutions via the Internet or through a web browser. Recently, the open source community began developing tools for building and maintaining web applications for many disciplines. These content management systems (CMS) provide many of the basic needs of an informatics group, whether in a small company, a group within a larger organisation or an academic laboratory. These tools aid in managing software development, website development, document development, course development, datasets, collaborations and customers. Since many of these tools are extensible, they can be developed to support other research-specific activities, such as handling large biomedical datasets or deploying bioanalytic tools. In this review of open source website management tools, the basic features of content management systems are discussed along with commonly used open source software. Additionally, some examples of their use in biomedical research are given.

A user-friendly, dynamic web environment for remote data browsing and analysis of multiparametric geophysical data within the MULTIMO project

In the framework of the EU-funded project “Multi-disciplinary monitoring, modelling and forecasting of volcanic hazard” (MULTIMO), multiparametric data have been recorded at the MULTIMO station in Montserrat. Moreover, several other long time series, recorded at Montserrat and at other volcanoes, have been acquired in order to test stochastic and deterministic methodologies under development. Creating a general framework to handle data efficiently is a considerable task even for homogeneous data. In the case of heterogeneous data, this becomes a major issue. A need for a consistent way of browsing such a heterogeneous dataset in a user-friendly way therefore arose. Additionally, a framework for applying the calculation of the developed dynamical parameters on the data series was also needed in order to easily keep these parameters under control, e.g. for monitoring, research or forecasting purposes. The solution which we present is completely based on Open Source software, including Linux operating system, MySql database management system, Apache web server, Zope application server, Scilab math engine, Plone content management framework, Unified Modelling Language. From the user point of view the main advantage is the possibility of browsing through datasets recorded on different volcanoes, with different instruments, with different sampling frequencies, stored in different formats, all via a consistent, user- friendly interface that transparently runs queries to the database, gets the data from the main storage units, generates the graphs and produces dynamically generated web pages to interact with the user. The involvement of third parties for continuing the development in the Open Source philosophy and/or extending the application fields is now sought.

Building a semantic wiki

The semantic Web vision of a "unifying logical language that enables concepts to be progressively linked into a universal Web" is part of along lineage of dreams of a universal repository of ideas: from Diderot's universal encyclopedia in the 18th century to Vannevar Bush's Memex at the beginning of the computer age to Ted Nelson's Xanadu in the 1970s. However, the semantic Web's development so far has focused primarily on metadata and carefully designed data structures. To realize Berners-Lee's vision, the semantic Web must capture and represent content created every day by people without special training - such content includes blogs, emails, and discussion groups. Rhizome is an experimental, open source content management framework the author have created that can capture and represent informal, human-authored content in a semantically rich manner. Rhizome aims to help bring about a new kind of commons - one of ideas. This commons wouldn't comprise just a web of interlinked pages of content, as is the current World Wide Web, but a web of relationships between the underlying ideas and distinctions that the content implies: a permanent, universally accessible interlinking of content based on imputed semantics such as concepts, definitions, or structured argumentation.

Video data mining: semantic indexing and event detection from the association perspective

Advances in the media and entertainment industries, including streaming audio and digital TV, present new challenges for managing and accessing large audio-visual collections. Current content management systems support retrieval using low-level features, such as motion, color, and texture. However, low-level features often have little meaning for naive users, who much prefer to identify content using high-level semantics or concepts. This creates a gap between systems and their users that must be bridged for these systems to be used effectively. To this end, in this paper, we first present a knowledge-based video indexing and content management framework for domain specific videos (using basketball video as an example). We will provide a solution to explore video knowledge by mining associations from video data. The explicit definitions and evaluation measures (e.g., temporal support and confidence) for video associations are proposed by integrating the distinct feature of video data. Our approach uses video processing techniques to find visual and audio cues (e.g., court field, camera motion activities, and applause), introduces multilevel sequential association mining to explore associations among the audio and visual cues, classifies the associations by assigning each of them with a class label, and uses their appearances in the video to construct video indices. Our experimental results demonstrate the performance of the proposed approach.

Managing the Intranet: trying a new tool

A case study is described of how the Open University Library is developing a pilot departmental Intranet with the open source package, Zope and the Content Management Framework toolkit. The approach is to manage and share content held in a variety of formats, develop workflow for creating and approving new content before it is published to the site, separate content from presentation in order to support easy maintenance and consistency, and locate information through metadata and full text retrieval. Designing the Intranet involved content mapping and identifying library staff’s working needs before developing the structure and site framework. The Zope CMF has proved to be a highly flexible set of tools for creating a knowledge sharing Intranet, but the drawbacks are lack of documentation and training in the UK.
