Abstract: In this research paper we address the importance of Product Data Management (PDM) with respect to its contributions in industry. We also present PDM Systems in brief and highlight some of major challenges to the PDM communities in advance PDM system development. Targeting some of these challenges we present an approach and discuss how this approach can be helpful in solving the PDM challenges. Limiting the scope of this research to one challenge, we focus on the implementation of a semantic based search mechanism in PDM Systems. Going into the details, at first we describe the respective fields i.e. Semantic Web and Language Technology (LT), contributing in ontology construction and natural language grammar implementation, to take advantage in implementing a search engine capable of understanding the semantic output of natural language based search queries. Then we discuss how we can practically take advantage of LT by implementing its concepts in the form of software application with the use of semantic web technology i.e. Ontology. Later, in the end of this research paper, we briefly present the prototype application developed with the use of concepts of LT and Semantic web.
Abstract: This paper is based on the findings of a literature review on the field of World Wide Web. A list of some key publications and explicitly provided literature is briefly included in this paper; addressing the importance of the field of Semantic Web and describing its contributions as the mechanism for structuring the information over the web in a format so that machines can understand the semantic context. Highlighting the technological innovation of Semantic Web, this paper presents Ontology some domain specific languages for Ontology construction: eXtensible Mark-up Language, Resource Description Framework and Web Ontology Language; offering different ways of explicitly structuring and richly annotating Web pages. Furthermore this paper discusses how Ontology is contributing to the semantic based web system development with some example of real time applications and concludes with some existing limitations needing to be overcome.
Abstract: In this research paper we address the importance of Product Data Management (PDM) with respect to its contributions in industry. Moreover we also present some currently available major challenges to PDM communities and targeting some of these challenges we present an approach i.e. I-SOAS, and briefly discuss how this approach can be helpful in solving the PDM communityâs faced problems. Furthermore, limiting the scope of this research to one challenge, we focus on the implementation of a semantic based search mechanism in PDM Systems. Going into the details, at first we describe the respective field i.e. Language Technology (LT), contributing towards natural language processing, to take advantage in implementing a search engine capable of understanding the semantic out of natural language based search queries. Then we discuss how can we practically take advantage of LT by implementing its concepts in the form of software application with the use of semantic web technology i.e. Ontology. Later, in the end of this research paper, we briefly present a prototype application developed with the use of concepts of LT towards semantic based search.
Abstract: In this review we address the importance of field i.e. Middleware Technology; a mediate between more than one distributed web application and client based desktop application for efficient data exchange and resource sharing. Describing the technological contributions of Middleware Technologies in detail, we present some of its major technologies i.e. Web Service, GRID Computing, Open Service Grid Infrastructure, which are involved in web, embedded and enterprise application development e.g. Portals, E-Science and E-Learning Platforms, Games etc. Furthermore, in this review paper, we present new Middleware Technology concepts i.e. Web Grid Service and Chain Web Grid Service. Going into the details, we present the conceptual architecture of newly proposed concepts along with information of implementation using existing web technologies, scripts and programming languages.
Abstract: In this research paper we address the importance of home automation system as compared to the old and traditional living systems. We present our own idea leading to a concept towards the practical implementation of a home automation and security system. Going into the details of this research, we present designed hardware and software architectures which then implemented in the form a real time prototype application i.e. Smart House. Discussed and implemented prototype application is capable of providing options for controlling houseâs electric appliances using computer and mobile. Furthermore it provides a house security system which is capable of not only tracking the interruption but also taking some intelligent immediate response actions.
Abstract: The purpose of this research was to implement an application improving the process of optimization for efficient results estimation in possible quick time using the concepts of adaptive machine learning. Back Propagated Neural Network algorithm was implemented to take advantage in developing a learning behavior in system and Genetic algorithm was implemented for data optimization. Going into the details of this research paper, we briefly discuss the implemented methodology in the form of software application i.e. Optimal Data Classifier (DOC), using Java programming language. Furthermore we describes two performed experimentation processes using two different datasets with DOC, and presented observed results helping in improving learning and data optimization behavior.
Abstract: Research into disease genetics has advanced many folds after the completion of Human Genome Project. Disease Genetics is a complex research area involving core databases, locus-specific databases, and National Ethnic/population Mutation Databases (NEMDBs). Recent progress in disease genetics has emphasized the need of population specific mutation repositories. This has given way to the development of NEMDBs worldwide. To emphasize its importance, a timely overview is presented highlighting the need for a Genetic Disease Database for Pakistan, stressing its over-riding importance and discussing the seriously lacking progress made so far in its accomplishment. Data management has been the greatest problem with the outburst of genetic data being generated in the subcontinent. Many factors contribute to this slow progress. The primary cause is limited funding. It is arguably the most fundamental problem for this kind of research to take place along with the intrinsic research bias towards acquiring new data rather than managing the old data. Valuable discoveries that deal with the genetic basis of disease are therefore being wasted, and this can only be remedied by creating a National Mutation Database specific to Pakistani population. Advancement in scale and sophistication has resulted in vast amount of data being generated. Therefore, there should be possibility to correlate all of this information to ascertain a detailed understanding of how genetic differences influence human health.
Abstract: In this paper two intensive problems faced during software application's analysis and development process arose by the software industry are briefly conversed i.e. identification of fault proneness and increase in rate of variability in the source code of traditional and product line applications. To contribute in the field of software application analysis and development, and to mitigate the aforementioned hurdles, a measurement analysis based approach is discussed in this paper. Furthermore, a prototype is developed based on the concepts of discussed approach i.e. analyzing preprocessed source code characteristics, identifying additional level of complexities using several procedural and object oriented source code measures and visualizing obtained results in different diagrams e.g. bar charts, file maps and graphs etc. Developed prototype is discussed in detail in this paper and validated by means of an experiment as well.
Abstract: Product Data Management aims to provide âSystemsâ contributing in industries by electronically maintaining organizational data, improving data repository system, facilitating with easy access to CAD and providing additional information engineering and management modules to access, store, integrate, secure, recover and manage information. Targeting one of the unresolved issues i.e., provision of natural language based processor for the implementation of an intelligent record search mechanism, an approach is proposed and discussed in detail in this manuscript. Designing an intelligent application capable of reading and analyzing userâs structured and unstructured natural language based text requests and then extracting desired concrete and optimized results from knowledge base is still a challenging task for the designers because it is still very difficult to completely extract Meta data out of raw data. Residing within the limited scope of current research and development; we present an approach capable of reading userâs natural language based input text, understanding the semantic and extracting results from repositories. To evaluate the effectiveness of implemented prototyped version of proposed approach, it is compared with some existing PDM Systems, in the end the discussion is concluded with an abstract presentation of resultant comparison amongst implemented prototype and some existing PDM Systems.
