Facing the abundant service resources, how to make the heterogeneous distributed resources information system has the meaning that can be understand between man-machine and machines, search conveniently and implement the resources integration, achieve information access and query better as well as the interoperability between systems, it is a challenge it faces which implementing the resources sharing and intelligence services, but also a problem which to improve the service informatization level for RM industries to be solved. To facility services resource sharing in Rapid Manufacturing (RM) industry, mainly discussed demand analysis and establishment principle of RM domain ontology. Based on the many years of experience and enterprise instances, domain ontology was described conceptual and expressed knowledgeable and model structure was established. The knowledge representation method is adopted based on the domain ontology query model and partial examples of service description are given. In order to solve semantic fuzziness and realize integration, interoperability and reusability of enterprise service by building domain ontology which can satisfy shared understanding of interested parties. On this basis, integrated service system architecture was designed to support resource sharing. The methods had been applied preliminarily and would provide the basis for the future work and extended field.

The chapter seeks to discuss the role played by library consortia in resource sharing among libraries, media organizations, and archives. It will outline the existing models that are functioning effectively especially in the developing countries and discuss the best practices. The target audience being libraries, archives, and media. While unravelling the economics of resources sharing among the information players, the chapter will address the challenges and opportunities in supporting research, teaching, and learning. The value of the book chapter is that it will give an insight into the development of library consortia and their significance as opportunities to provide equal access to research in libraries, archives, and media. The chapter will also provide a comprehensive comparison between library consortia in developing countries and developed countries highlighting how resource sharing in developing countries has helped to bridge the gap of information access, thereby showing progressive development.

To solve more complex manufacturing problems and perform larger scale collaborative manufacturing, a new service-oriented networked manufacturing model—Cloud Manufacturing is presented. The paper presents a resource virtualization model to support resource sharing in cloud manufacturing environment. It can be decomposed into four layers: manufacturing resources layer, concrete web service layer, logical service layer and application layer. The relationships of every layer are discussed in detail. At last, we make a conclusion and put forward the future work.

Purpose – In 2010 and 2013, the libraries in the Association of Southeastern Research Libraries (ASERL) were surveyed to identify benchmarks and programs to support resource sharing. Benchmarks and challenges identified generate discussions regarding programming, networking, and other support to improve resource sharing operations. This paper seeks to address these issues. Design/methodology/approach – This study compares and contrasts the two surveys using mixed methods data analysis. This study assesses ILL performance and explores the challenges and trends interlibrary loan practitioners see today. Findings – The article identifies changes and trends in consortia-wide transaction volumes; staffing levels; campus document delivery; professional issues and challenges; and library organizational schemes. Research limitations/implications – The study did not include data from constituencies outside of interlibrary loan. It also did not include interview follow-ups with survey participants to discuss challenges and reorganizations in greater detail. Future interlibrary loan research could focus less on operational metrics and more on broader issues such as e-resources and change management. Mixed methods are effect tools for benchmarking and comparative case studies. Practical implications – Individual libraries can compare themselves to the operational benchmarks and use insights drawn from comment analysis to stimulate conversations regarding current and future roles for interlibrary loan. Consortia can duplicate the study to understand their operational benchmarks and their particular contexts. Originality/value – The study provides comparative benchmarks for research libraries and consortia spanning three years. It demonstrates substantial shifts in issues faced by libraries and librarians.

The Post Truth era has made truth relative from a personal point of view not based on scientific facts. Freedom of information access makes the quality not proportional to the existing quantity. This relative truth has implications for the development of hadith which has been consumed by Muslim World in general. From the historical point of view, the modification of the hadith is inseparable from the interests of three Islamic thought orientations, namely Syiah, Ahlusunnah Wal Jamaah and Khawarij. The purpose of this study is to map the history of the development of the hadith from the time of the Prophet Muhammad and how the truth of the traditions used by the community from the time of the Prophet Muhammad to the Post Truth era. The results of this study indicate that the distribution of hadith originated in the early days of Islam, but not in official writing. Then came the official codification period in the caliph Umar bin Abdul Aziz II century Hijri. In the next period the hadith is recorded in the form of books and in the global era the hadith has been in the form of a website to the implications that can be used through smartphones. But in terms of the truth of the hadith in the Post Truth Era is still influenced by the interests of related parties so that the truth must be reviewed. Seeing the many uses of hadith in accordance with the wishes of the stakeholders. The interests are in the form of political interests and the interests of content providers with commercial purposes in various forms such as applications, dissemination on social media.

Adults demonstrate difficulty and pronounced variability when developing second language (L2) grammatical knowledge and reading skills. We examine explanations in terms of individual differences in working memory (WM). Despite numerous studies, the association between WM and adult second language (L2) acquisition remains unclear, and longitudinal studies are scarce and contradictory. This study investigates whether WM affects L2 grammar and reading development in beginning classroom learners, using WM tests with (Waters and Caplan’s 1996 test) and without (Daneman and Carpenter’s 1980 test) a demanding processing task. In Experiment 1, 82 beginning first language (L1) English learners of Spanish completed Daneman and Carpenter’s test, and grammar and reading pretests and posttests one year apart. In Experiment 2, 330 beginning English learners of Spanish completed the same tests as in Experiment 1 and Waters and Caplan’s test. The results reveal that only Waters Caplan’s test (response time, recall span) yielded WM effects, and that response time (processing) negatively correlated with recall span (storage). These findings reveal longitudinal WM effects on L2 grammar and reading development at early acquisition stages, support resource-sharing WM models, and urge scholars to adopt WM tests with a processing task performed under timed conditions, and to analyse response time.

We present models for bartering of resources on grids. Bartering models can be useful for making resource allocation decisions in grids and perhaps even for building a so called barter grid whereby distributed resources such as electronic media can be bartered. Grids allow various resources to be shared among many users. This sharing however definitely does not mean that everyone will have unrestricted use of the resources. Some mechanism such as pricing or quotas can be employed in order to enforce controlled sharing of resources. A barter model for resource sharing can enable people or computer centers to directly get something in return for letting their resources to be used by others. We utilize directed hypergraphs to develop a barter model in which multiple resources can be traded. We prove that the decision version of the multi-resource bartering problem is NP-complete. We present an integer programming formulation for the bartering problem. We also present a linear time algorithm to compute components that may contain feasible bartering solutions. We generalize our multi-resource bartering formulation to the case where multiple instances of resources are present. Finally, we present various computational results from our software that makes use of LP_SOLVE and CPLEX mixed integer programming libraries to solve example bartering problems.

Spooks (BBC, 2002–11) is a success story of British television that has been noted for the way in which it responded to political and social concerns of the United Kingdom during the time it was produced. In the course of ten seasons, the programme presented the heroism of MI5 officers who defend the realm against the many threats of the twenty-first century. However, its displays of heroic action are always entangled with negotiations of serious ethical questions: Spooks's heroes can perform their duty only because they constantly stretch and transgress the morality of ordinary life. As spy fiction, Spooks also scrutinised political ethics at a time when, during the ‘war on terror’, the practice of politicians was as openly criticised as the work of the intelligence services. This article investigates how Spooks functioned as a morality play for the first decade after 9/11, and how it epitomises the claim that television creates for its viewers a cultural space in which moral ideas can be shared and debated.
