XML Database Storage for Web based Application

We present technical, instrumental, and software upgrades completed and planned at astronomical observatory called "Osservatorio Astronomico Regionale Parco Antola, Fascia" (OARPAF), hosting an 80cm, alt-az Cassegrain-Nasmyth telescope. The observatory, located in the Ligurian Apennines, can currently be operated either for scientific (photometry camera) or amateur (ocular) observations, by switching the tertiary mirror between the two Nasmyth foci using a manual handle. The main scientific observational topics are related up to now to exoplanetary transits, QSOs, and gravitationally lensed quasars, and results are being recently published. A remotization and robotization strategy of the entire structure (telescope, dome, instruments, sensors and monitoring) have been set up and it is in progress. We report the current upgrades, mainly related for what concerns the "hardware" side to the robotization of the dome. On the instrumentation side, a new modular support for instruments with spectrophotometric capabilities is on a preliminary design phase, improving the telescope performances and broadening the potential science fields. In this framework, the procurement of spectrophotometric material has started. On the software side, an innovative web-based software relying on websockets and node.js can already be used to control the camera, and it will be extended to manage the other components of the instrument, of the observatory, and of the image database storage.

Coordination Tool

This paper explores the design and development considerations inherent in the production and deployment of a web-based programme management coordination tool (PMCT) that has been built on a native XML database (NXD). In selecting a small to medium sized enterprise (SME) as a target, specific problems had to be addressed. These practical issues are highlighted along with assessments and analysis of the suitability of the NXD chosen for the function. The paper offers suggestions relating to the cause and effect of underlying trends currently affecting SME’s within the telecommunications sector, and it shows how the management tools and the technologies that they might employ to derive benefit, need careful alignment with the purpose to be effective.

The Trials of the Late Roman Republic (TLRR) project is building an XML database with information about criminal and civil legal proceedings in the period 149 to 50 BC; it is a revision of a work first published in book form in 1991. TLRR is a SAND: a small, arcane, non-trivial dataset. It exhibits in acute form problems also seen in other XML projects and offers a convenient medium for experimenting with solutions to those problems, including partial and uncertain data, relatively heavy annotation of data by means of notes, potential links to other resources with information about people and other entities appearing in TLRR, a distributed project team, and sparse resources. The paper describes the initial translation of the data into XML form and the stepwise refinement of the markup, the creation of Web-based XML editing interfaces for the data, and the treatment of uncertain data in query interfaces.

Alone with web technologies has being used in many and many fields, a lot of enterprises have been upgrading their business application into web based systems. From both enterprises and web application providers’ point of view, all they need to design a web application flexible enough not only to adapt to the enterprises business changes, marketing change, but also to be easily customized the web applications for different deployments. While in order to satisfy to both these two targets, the flexible web application data modeling is one of the key problems. Here, by research on XML with templates and XML database technologies, from data concept model, logic model and physical model to illustrate a XML database based data modeling to improve web applications flexibility at design time.

Tailored Approach

Mobile tools are increasingly available to help individuals monitor their progress toward health behavior goals. Commonly known commercial products for health and fitness self-monitoring include wearable devices such as the Fitbit© and Nike + Pedometer© that work independently or in conjunction with mobile platforms (e.g., smartphones, media players) as well as web-based interfaces. These tools track and graph exercise behavior, provide motivational messages, offer health-related information, and allow users to share their accomplishments via social media. Approximately 2 million software programs or “apps” have been designed for mobile platforms (Pure Oxygen Mobile, 2013), many of which are health-related. The development of mobile health devices and applications is advancing so quickly that the Food and Drug Administration issued a Guidance statement with the purpose of defining mobile medical applications and describing a tailored approach to their regulation.
