Semantic Integration Framework for Resources Identification

The global adoption of information technology systems throughout all activity domains lead to the existence of a huge amount of information systems unable to interoperate, first of all, because of different ways of identifying resources. Different transport and application level protocols for data exchange also raise some interoperability difficulties. Common interoperability scenarios rely on tightly controlled, specific communities of information technology islands. In this chapter we present and discuss the usage of lexical, syntactic and semantic lexical technologies to address interoperability problems at the product identification level, in the context of food consumption analysis.

The author provides a viewpoint on the dialogue between computing and art by describing a framework for classification of Interactive Digital Artworks: information technology systems in which spectators are involved in the production of the artistic output. The author bases his approach on the input-process-output view of information systems and relates it to the “Computing as a Science” viewpoint. The framework is validated by classifying 33 interactive digital artworks presented at various international exhibitions.

Visual Properties

Describing a landscape means making link between concepts of visible features and people’s perception. Most landscape description methods underline salient entities which are a key trigger for wayfinding problems and tourism management. Searching for a better understanding of landscape descriptions implies to explore and identify the main visual properties that differentiate between landscapes depending on both human cognition and environmental condition. Furthermore, this environmental condition affects the credibility of data produced by people, particularly when using Volunteered Geographical Information systems which brings forward a huge amount of information. Then this paper proposes an approach to emerge patterns by which describing landscape in general and choosing salient objects in particular have been influenced.

Technology Systems

This article reviews how information systems can keep track of multitudes of design changes and avoid problems in the issuing of bills of materials. Sometimes, as in the automaker’s case, engineers find a novel way to make available software perform a second job. The DaimlerChrysler technology fitted a second need, which engineers did not even know they had until they put two and two together: a system that kept track of documents could keep track of equipment, too. As information technology people layer and link a company’s various software systems, they create a full-blown digital umbrella that works for the company. Most companies layer their technology systems, first implementing one, then another, and then finding a way to link the two. In other words, companies first identify a need that technology can fill, then purchase new technology or find new uses for what they have, as in DaimlerChrysler’s case.

Technology Systems

Competitive environments are driving manufacturing organisations to react quickly to unpredictable changes and customer opportunities. To face these new challenges, manufacturing organisations require the support of information technology/systems in their operations. An information technology/systems infrastructure capable of coping with these changes is in part responsible for determining the level of contribution of information systems applications. Seven key characteristics of IT/IS-containing infrastructure were investigated in a survey. The application of factor analysis showed three main factors associated to IT/IS infrastructure. A series of attributes were associated to the identified characteristics of IT/IS for agility, enabling the development of a cascade-like model to facilitate the evaluation of IT/IS with special emphasis on infrastructure.

This research was conducted to determine whether there is a relationship between procurement flexibility supply chain in the dimensions of information technology systems and issues within dimensions that affect the industries of furniture in Malaysia. This quantitative research involved 150 sets of questionnaire done on furniture factories active operating in Malaysia and review of previous studies. Data analysis involve reliability, validity, hypothesis testing and regression were carried out. The study found there was flexibility procurement in the dimension of information systems technology with the industry of furniture in Malaysia. Issue where suppliers or producers receive product information from buyers are outside the time set found to be most affecting furniture industry in Malaysia. Second issue is suppliers and buyers are very difficult to share information between them, while the third issue was the lack of concern and cooperation of suppliers or producers in terms of distribution of information to the buyer. The issue of buyer channelling the information to the supplier or manufacturer is the lowest influence to the industry of furniture in Malaysia.
